The only negatives I could give would be... the discripton of the property stated it had a garden (however what was there couldnt be called a garden, more a path outside the front window. We have 3 shit tzu's and it wasnt big enough for them and there was no grass in sight), the T.V in the bedroom although had an ariel recieved no channels. Virtually no freezer space. We was informed there was no parking for the property, however was misinformed about how accessible the parking actually is. Overall I would recommend this holiday home as it was only a 10 minute walk into whitby town center and only a 30 minute drive to some lovely walks.

No parking. No garden for dogs. Tiny front yard was unkempt and had a bucket with liquid in it that stunk to high heaven! So obviously not much care or checks given to the outside space as small as it was. Inside the cottage was comfortable enough, but bare minimum fixtures and fittings/pots and pans etc. Didnât look very homely, and plaster falling off the walls totally unacceptable for a cottage charging 350+ just for 2 nights!! Have had far better cottages than this for same money for a full week!! Disgusted to be honest.

.narrow busy roadâ¦might be lucky and get a spot on the front nearby..but unlikelyâ¦..we were lucky to get the last space in a car park 10-15 min walk with bagsâ¦.it stayed there for the duration costing £9 nightâ¦. Apart from the entrance steps the stairs inside are like a spiral staircase and would consider them unsuitable for small children and anyone with even the slightest mobility problems . The cottage was clean although quite a doggy smell â¦.quickly fixed with a good air/fabric spray that I left thereâ¦..bedding and towels all crisp and whiteâ¦.hate the cushions on the bed.. Well equipped kitchen , ample seating, large shower room with plenty of hot water ,good sized bedrooms⦠Overall apart from the parking,which meant you couldnât use the car or risk losing your spot, we had a lovely holiday..bus stops just round the corner into town and connections to bus to Scarborough etc..cottage could do with a few minor repairsâ¦flaking paint on ceiling etc. Personally wouldnât go back due to parking however there are lots of people who donât have a car so this would be fine as they could get a bus from the train station with information being given with bookingâ¦..A few bus timetables at the cottage would be good⦠PLUS pointâ¦Fab fish and chip shop just round the cornerâ¦..
