Stayed in this lovely cottage with 2 friends we had a fabulous time in whitby. Everyone so friendly. The location is up hill, but we managed it! We just laughed everytime we went up it, the view was wonderful, loved just looking out of the windows. Ideal if for the Abbey & unusual church as we could walk across too it & just go down the 199 steps instead of walking up them, which 2 of us wouldn't have been able to do! Have already recommended to people we got chatting too. We will definitely be going back 😍

A fantastic little cottage perfectly located near to everything. Only downside was low ceilings upstairs but that's to be expected in a cottage. Favourite place was sitting at the window overlooking the harbour and town. Thank you for a lovely break!

Excellent property, bit of a problem for taller people but after first few times banging my head, but would definitely stay here again. The property was well equipped, with comfy beds. The welcome biscuits and coffee was a nice touch.
