Guests say

The Counting House in Whitby is a well-regarded cottage praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and cosy comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and modern facilities. The dedicated parking space, while challenging for larger vehicles, is valued in this bustling town. The property's proximity to local attractions and amenities makes it an ideal base for exploring Whitby.

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with many reviews highlighting the tidy and well-maintained condition of the cottage. One review mentioned a minor issue with bathroom cleanliness, but this seems to be an isolated incident.

The location is highly praised for being central and within walking distance to Whitby's shops, pubs, and seafront. It is considered perfect for exploring the town and enjoying local attractions.

The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and a comfy bed. A few guests mentioned issues with parking and the size of the shower due to the slanted roof, which slightly impacted the comfort level for some.

The cottage is described as well-equipped and having modern facilities. However, some guests suggested improvements such as clearer parking instructions, a handrail on stairs, and better TV instructions. One review mentioned the lack of a corkscrew and can opener.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.
