The facilities in cottage was really good as you've got everything you need, beds are comfy, shower is good and WiFi was pretty quick at 25md download. Now the negative which starts at outside the property, the moss on the ground was slippy when wet and needs bringing up, the property next door is an eyesore. Inside the kitchen bin lid doesn't close and smell could disperse. Final point which was annoying and the check out, it was 09.50 and the cleaner was early waiting to get in, check out is 10am and they should arrive after that time allowing you to leave.

This property has been designed to a hight and tasteful standard. Spacious bedrooms, very comfortable firm beds (much more to my level of comfort) , a warm and welcome living area and a fantastic rainfall shower. The internet was superb, you could even retreat to 5 Ivy Yard and work there comfortable. Like all rentals you find some quirks, the only gripe we had was some of the light bulbs in one of the ceiling lights didnât work, there werenât any spare bin bags and an empty roll of foil left in the drawer. The property was very clean and tidy upon entering. I would say to the owner or cleaners, please double check cutlery and plates that guests have cleaned, there were some questionable âcleanedâ items but know this isnât reflected on the owner or cleaners. There is no parking on the property, but on 3/4 of the road there is free parking on Church Street but itâs a free for all and very popular. We had no issues but at peak times it would be difficult. Further up, getting closer to Whitby there is 40 mins free parking restrictions or a small pay and display car park.
