Guests say
Hilltop Hideaway is a spacious, well-equipped and cosy cottage in Whitby, praised for its excellent location just a short walk from the town centre. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, homely atmosphere, and ample amenities, making it ideal for families and dog owners. While most found the property clean and inviting, some noted issues with damp smells, sticky tables, and occasional outdoor cleanliness. Parking can be challenging, and the steep hill may not suit those with mobility concerns. Overall, guests enjoyed their stays and many expressed a desire to return.
Most guests found the property clean, especially the interior, with several describing it as spotless or very clean. However, recurring mentions of sticky tables, crumbs in sofas, and a neglected outdoor area with bird droppings and debris lowered the score. Some also noted damp smells, though the flat itself was generally tidy.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the short walk to Whitby town centre and views of the Abbey. The only drawback is the steep hill, which may be difficult for those with mobility issues, and parking can be tricky at busy times.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and a cosy atmosphere. The property is quiet at night and well-heated. Minor issues included hard pillows for some and occasional noise from a squeaky bed frame.
The cottage is well-equipped with a full kitchen, washing machine, games, and DVDs. Guests appreciated the amenities for families and children. Some maintenance issues were noted, such as sticky tables, broken chairs, a faulty bathroom light, and occasional problems with fans and the shower temperature.
While guests felt the property was well-stocked and homely, there were no mentions of welcome gifts or special touches. It should be noted that gifts or extras are not guaranteed. Some guests noted a lack of owner-managed details, such as dried-up reed diffusers and no welcome pack.

This is a deceivingly spacious apartment and was very cosy with everything we needed. All beds were very comfortable and the property had every essential that we wished for. The apartment is in a great place with a short walk to get into Whitby centre. Parking was tight but we managed to find a space. Arriving at the weekend I presumed this would be the case but in the week more space available. We would definitely stay here again.

A lovely basement flat with a small enclosed yard for the dog. Very well stocked with all we needed, cosy and comfortable. No sign of the sticky tables previously mentioned. Got on street parking without any issues. 5 minute walk into Whitby.
