Guest reviews
Exceptional
Wonderful, cosy stay in beautiful location
Liked: Lovely cosy cottage, just outside of Whitby in a really nice area overlooking the river with steam trains going by. Lovely quiet area out of the hustle and bustle but still close to Whitby. Beds were super comfy and the place was clean. Child friendly with games, books and dvds. Brochure about what to do in Whitby was good too. Easy check in and good communication from hosts.
Disliked: Only has a shower (which was a fab shower) and a bath would have made it super amazing!
Liked: Early check in was granted. As soon as the property was ready they messaged to say we could arrive which worked out really well as we arrived much earlier than expected
Disliked: Only negative fire alarm sounding if having a shower with bathroom door open. Easily avoided but scared us half to death when the eldest was having a shower.
A comfortable and convenient property
Liked: The location worked for the plans we had
Disliked: nothing to dislike
Great stay, looking forward to returning soon

Disliked: Nothing
Liked: The location is peaceful / scenic and less than 2 mile from the centre of Whitby.
Disliked: You are overlooked from the rear of the property if you are outside but that isn't a real issue
Liked: Lovely cottage,& clean.Parking (a necessity for us) Private, Pretty Floral back garden. Comfy bed, & clean,new looking mattress. Lovely view at front, with seating. Swimming pool very handy.
Disliked: Need a Couple of Fans, too hot, inside cottage. Bathroom sink Problem.Plug Doesn't Work.& sink of water ran out before you'd finished using it, Every Time. If you don't want a shower. The water pressure of cold tap a nuisance, noisy, & Bursts Out, & ran over bowl onto the floor.(Will Be worse for children & us older people with hand & wrist weakness). Noisy toilet flush, heard when people up in night. Not always for a wee. Front bedroom door Very Noisy (bed time) & up in night for Loo,several times). Latch hard to use, to close,hard to strain into shut position.Latch Fitted Wrongly. A struggle for us older people,who Prefer a closed door for Privacy.Swimming Pool Showers, No Hot water. (Especially for long hair,womens). Had to go back to cottage & reshower every time we'd been. Five times. So in all 5x2 we Unnecessary showers using cottage's electricity. For Two of us women. Some costly adjustments & some tweeks needed maybe? Money is tight these days. I do understand. Thanks Ms McSweeney.
