Guests say
Guests appreciate the well-appointed, cosy cottage at No 1 Pier Lane, praising its convenient location in the heart of Whitby. The property's unique charm and historical features add to the experience, with many finding it a comfortable 'home from home'. The Ingrid Flute team is commended for their helpfulness, and guests often express a desire to return.
The property is generally described as very clean and well-equipped. However, one review mentioned a rug with dog hairs and stained furnishings, suggesting occasional oversights in cleanliness.
The central location is highly praised for convenience, though one review cites issues with noise and smell from a nearby fishmonger. Despite this, the location's overall reception is positive.
Comfort is well-regarded, with mentions of comfy beds and a cosy atmosphere. Some guests noted uncomfortable furnishings and a lack of natural light, which slightly detracts from the comfort score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and beautiful decor. Criticisms include maintenance issues like a toilet not properly fixed and suggestions for improvement such as better frying pans and a toaster.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.
