Snaptrip says

Tyreman's Return is a charming and cosy cottage praised for its cleanliness and superb central location in Whitby. Guests appreciate its proximity to local attractions and the comfort of the accommodation, despite some noting issues with parking and boiler noise. The property's period features and cleanliness are highlights, though some guests suggest improvements in kitchenware and maintenance.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy, with several reviews highlighting its immaculate condition. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.

The central location is frequently praised for being within walking distance of Whitby's main attractions. Despite parking challenges, the convenience of the location is a standout feature.

Comfort is generally well-regarded, with mentions of a comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere. However, some guests noted issues with boiler noise and firm beds, slightly detracting from the overall comfort.

Facilities are adequate, with positive comments on the kitchen and broadband. Criticisms include a lack of kitchenware, issues with seating, and maintenance needs like the bathroom light switch, which suggest room for improvement.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

About this property

Tyreman’s Return, 2 Abbey Inn Yard is a characterful Grade II listed 2 bedroom cottage steeped in history. This traditional fisherman’s cottage dating from around 1760 is off ancient Flowergate, known as Floresgate in the Doomsday Book. This quirky cottage offers contemporary living sleeping up to 4 people in a 3 storey property. It is located in a convenient and quiet yard situated off Flowergate on the west side of Whitby. There is a double bedroom on the first floor with a twin bedroom on the second floor. The wrought-iron gate at the entrance to the yard is located next to the Yorkshire Building Society (formerly an old Inn known initially as The Old Abby Inn which existed from at least 1794). Tyreman’s retains some lovely period features - the original beams, a working open Yorkshire Range ideal for those winter nights, sash windows and a coffin drop in the ground floor ceiling. You enter Tyreman’s up two shallow steps into an open-plan living space. Here there are two comfortable sofas in the lounge space, a flat screen TV with a DVD player and a mini sound system. The focal point for the family is the open hearth fireplace. A selection of paperbacks and DVD’s are provided. The compact kitchen provides all modern appliances: an electric oven, microwave, fridge and an electric hob set in black granite. In the dining area is a kitchen table with two settles seating 4 people. Heating is gas central heating with radiators throughout. One well-behaved dog is allowed to stay in the downstairs room but must not be allowed upstairs. Through the door to a narrow and curved staircase leads to the first floor. Here there is the charming double bedroom and a family bathroom. The second floor has a spacious twin bedroom along the length of the house, this delightful room also has a TV and DVD player available. The magnificent cruck beams do reduce headspace at the sides of the room, but the apex does provide standing room. A stairgate is fitted should this be required. The location of Tyreman’s Return is ideal for visiting the many and varied attractions that Whitby offers. You can park outside Abbey Inn Yard for 1 hour using a parking disc for unloading. Thereafter parking is available at St Hilda’s Terrace car park which is 5 minutes walk from the cottage, or Cliff Terrace or on West Cliff. All are pay and display (free from November to March). Just up from the cottage on Flowergate are two Parks – Little Park where dogs are permitted and Pannett Park housing a Local History Museum. There are a variety of restaurants and cafes on Flowergate (and even a dog bakery!). The quayside and swing bridge are at the foot of Flowergate where you meet the heart of Whitby and your adventure continues.

Whitby is a seaside town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, situated in the borough of Scarborough. Boasting a wonderful, picturesque beach, with the River Esk nearby for boating and fishing opportunities. With easy access to the town centre for plenty of amenities such as shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, and local historical sites to be explored.

    Everything we needed and an excellent location.

    It's in a perfect location, 2 minutes to the harbour. 2 minutes to the shops, restaurants and pubs, especially the Irish one at the bottom of the hill, great atmosphere. I slept like a log it was so quiet. The cottage has everything you need. My daughter and I loved it! I would have left a review in the book but couldn't find my pen. It would have been a pleasure to write it! Thanks to the owner for answering my questions too-before we arrived. I would definitely go again. x

    That ends the positive feedback. Parking a nightmare, allow £9 a day for the car. The parking vouchers supposedly provided, was for 1 voucher for 2 nights only. Attempted to contact the number provided, despite texting, phoning, and leaving a message requesting a call back, no call back was received during the 4 days we were there, or indeed since. The boiler in the bedroom was constantly noisy, and heated up the room to an unpleasant temperature, no thermostat appeared to control it.
