Andrea
We like having two bathrooms, which are roomy. We could have done with another tray and bedside table in the double bedroom. The sofa and chairs are comfy. The property is in a great location for walkers and not too far from Whitby. We have stayed in Ships Wheel Cottage twice now. We will definitely stay there again.

The owners were fantastic when we had a small issue during our stay and got it sorted ASAP. I would thoroughly recommend the cottage to others and I'm sure we'll be back.
