A lovely warm comfortable cottage. Access to local amenities is down a long hill but there is a bus stop at the corner of the street. Everything is provided. Had a lovely welcome from Alan who had provided a nice welcome pack. Would definitely return.

Loved the Annexe,easy path down to town and very close to bus stop. Mattress on double bed a bit firm for my liking . Dining table a bit tight space wise. Overall very good and reasonably priced. Milk,cream scones and biscuits on arrival,a very nice touch. Very pleasant owner.

Had a really lovely week in the Annexe in Whitby. Very comfortable, clean and well equipped little holiday home. Very, welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts and a lovely arrival gift of yummy cream cakes and biscuits from a local bakery. The Annexe is within walking distance of the town although it is quite steep so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. Ideal location for venturing into Whitby, the Yorkshire Moors and the surrounding area. Would thoroughly recommend.
