Easy to find on the main road into Whitby. Easy access to Whitby (Park and Ride not open when we stayed, but that's just up the road too.). Sainsbury's within 10 min drive. Underfloor heating kept the whole cottage warm throughout the stay. Tiny bit of feedback would be we found we ran out of mugs and glasses quickly, four more of each would be very helpful. Also a secind bedside table,, especially in the double room would be great - but these are tiny comments an didn't detract from a lovely stay in a great cottage.

Mainly really clean but it does need a good cobwebbing, high ceilings. Could see lots of cobwebs and on the light fittings. Only 5 minutes drive into Whitby, even on a main road we all slept well. We did get slugs in the building after heavy rain, they came through the bottom of the door. Very unpleasant, luckily my dogs didnât eat them! We had to put the dishwasher on twice per day due not being enough crockery and glasses, would have been nice to have extra to save wasting electricity.

We'll equipped, nice to have a washing machine for mid week laundry. Beds are so comfortable and the showers are the best.
