Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the property being very clean, with numerous guests highlighting its spotlessness. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owners.
The location is frequently described as well-situated with beautiful views and convenient access to Whitby and other attractions. The positive feedback suggests guests are very satisfied with the location.
Comfort is generally well-received, with mentions of a cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, a few guests noted issues with the sofa and hot water supply, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are mostly appreciated, especially the outdoor space and views. Some guests pointed out limited storage and kitchenware, and a desire for a washer/dryer, which affects the score.
While many guests express satisfaction with the property's charm and details, there is insufficient information regarding specific thoughtful gestures such as gifts to accurately score this category.
