Miss French
Had a lovely week, great location, train station 5 minute walk away, and cheaper than parking in Whitby, cottage itself had everything we needed, underfloor heating downstairs was a bonus, well equipped large kitchen area, large smart tv, welcome basket much appreciated, lovely little Brook runs just behind the property, makes a nice little distraction.
Mrs Yull
The cottage itself was lovely and spotlessley clean on arrival. The beds are the most comfortable I have ever used in a cottage. Backing out of the drive is dangerous. It also looks far bigger in the pictures than it is. I would recommend to a friend but with a caveat on not to take dogs.
Mr Farrow
The cottage was clean, warm and cosy. Location excellent for sight seeing in the local area, with a bus stop to Whitby opposite and train station a short walk away.
