Very comfortable stay cottage was very clean well presented and ample room for the eight of us. Location is very central to North Yorkshire tourist attractions. Would stay there again.

We had a wonderful week in this cottage.It felt like home the minute we arrived, and we were all sad to leave.The location is handy for the entire area, with Whitby on the doorstep, Robin Hoods Bay, Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes just a short trip away, and a variety of inland destinations under an hour away (Nunnington Hall a must). Sainsbury's near by made self catering easy. The place was quiet but not remote or isolated.The cottage was great value for money, and we would certainly return.

Mr Bury

August 2015

We had a great time in Whitby. The holiday cottage is really spacious for up to 8 people and having 2 showers was a bonus as there were 7 of us. The children loved the garden area and the views from the cottage were stunning. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to Whitby on holiday.

Whalebone cottage is a charming large cottage, with 4 large bedrooms it sleeps 8 people comfortably. It is a very clean and tidy cottage. The sitting room is of generous size and there is a well stocked kitchen with dining area, this cottage also boasts 2 well sized bathrooms....one which just has a shower in. The outside garden is gated off for your own garden and parking for 2 cars. The views from the house are breathtaking with views across the Esk valley. You can also watch the comings and goings of the camping and caravan site which the cottage owners own...great for people watching!! The cottage is situated on a working farm which farms sheep....the kids love watching the sheep coming into the farm yard to be weighed. The cottage is about a mile away from whitby harbour...and if you walk there it's down hill all the way.....just hop in a taxi for the return uphill journey....the taxi is very reasonable back there. The owners are very very friendly and extremely helpful.....they didn't even mind us sitting in their garden when the sun left our garden. We have just returned to the cottage for our 3rd holiday and it won't be our last. The cottage is a great base for all the tourist attractions like Robinhoods bay, staithes and Scarborough. I would defiantly recommend this cottage. Thank you for a great holiday.

A warm welcome from the owners. Clean and had all a family of 8 needed for a comfortable stay. We will be back again next year.

This was an ideal property, especially if you have young children. Very well laid out, with a nice secure front garden. It is really spacious and superbly located, with lovely far stretching views. We adopted two very friendly cats.

This was our first experience using Sykes and it was brilliant. We had a party of eight and there was enough room all round in the cottage.

Whalebone cottage is by far the very best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. I would recomend it to anyone. I can promise we will be going again

We stayed at Whalebone Cottage on the first weekend in May to celebrate a couple of birthdays within the group and we will definately be going back. The cottage itself has a great homely feeling with amazing views and we were only a couple of minutes drive from Whitby. The owner is a lovely women who looked after us well providing information on local taxis, restaurants etc, even her dog made friends with ours! The only negative I have with our weekend is that it ended too soon but we will definately be staying there again and I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

well situated for the towm and shops but so close to lovely walks on the doorstep. the cottage was well equiped clean warm and lovely to be in the fa,i;y were very helpful and kind. would recomenb it to any family.

Mr Booth

February 2012

The cottage was pleasant; it was in walking distance to the shops, pub, main town, on a bus route! There was plenty of areas to go walking - our main interest in the holiday. We really enjoyed the walk on the cinder pathway, well worth the effort.

Mrs Crichton

Mr Darcy

September 2011

Staying on a working farm, the views were spectacular. No problems being so close to a camp site.

August 2011

Whalebone Cottage was a lovely base for exploring Whitby and the surrounding areas. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The only drawback was the slightly small dining area when a group of us wanted to cook/eat together. Otherwise, a perfect base for a lovely few days.

Mrs Furnley

March 2011

The setting was quiet and picturesque and very near local attractions. The cottage was homely and very reasonable for accommodating up to eight people. The landlords were very helpful and hospitable. I would definitely come again.

Mrs Hillam

September 2010

Good spacious property. Lovely views of Whitby.

Ms Murton

The welcome from the owner and the privacy afforded even though they were close at hand. From our arrival onwards the holiday was excellent, the atmosphere of the farm was very warm and welcoming. The setting is beautiful and it is amazingly quiet when you consider the proximity of the camp site and the road. I would both recommend Whalebone Cottage and book again.

Mr Bowmaster

Excellent position for touring the area. Child friendly cottage and surroundings. Very nice and friendly owners.

Mrs Feary

July 2010

Very impressed with cottage and its proximity to coast and moors. Found owners very welcoming and helpful. Our grandson aged 2 1/2 was very taken with the sheep and enjoyed watching the farmer working. 'Magpie Fish Shop' in Whitby is really worth a visit.

Miss Whymark

September 2009

We enjoyed every part of our holiday and the cottage was better than we had ever expected. The owners were very helpful and nice, they let the children go and see all the farm animals, which they loved. The owners left us wine and biscuits for our arrival as a hello greeting. We would definitely return. The view was gorgeous.

Mrs Mitchell

Whalebone Cottage is a lovely property with a gated drive. Was excellent for the dogs with a small grass area with the cottage. But access to larger field for quick stroll, lots of longer walks available. There is an excellent pub just up the road. The standard of the property is excellent and the location has excellent views, overall would recommend to anyone.

Mr Mrs Goodwin

If I had a weeks holiday free this year I would return for a week instead of the weekend. We had a brilliant break made all the better by the standard of the accommodation and friendliness of our hosts.

Mrs Simmons

March 2009

Lovely holiday. Owners and cottage were lovely.

Mrs Bews

The Cottage was far above the standard we were expecting and the farmers wife was very friendly and welcoming. Lambing was taking place while we were there and it was lovely to go to the barn and see the new born lambs. All told we had an excellent holiday.

Mr Mrs Morris

Lovely location. In the cottage it was like walking into your own home as you felt so comfy. The family who owned the cottage were very helpful and friendly so you felt very welcome.

March 2008

Owner very helpful, great people to meet. Grandchildren loved holding baby lambs.

Mrs Pritchard

The property was warm and cosy, yet large enough to accommodate 2 families (8 of us) very comfortably. We had a very happy time at Whalebone Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

November 2007

Whalebone cottage was an excellant base for a holiday in the North Yorkshire Moors and coast. The cottage was excellent, very clean, well decorated and furnished. Good views over the moors and Whitby Abbey. The owner made us feel most welcome and was extremely helpful.

Mrs Lockwood

The cottage was in a convenient but peaceful location with ample parking, and was very clean. There was a plentiful supply of crockery, equipment, towels and a warm welcome from the owner. Altogether a good value for money holiday.

Mr Mrs Barnett

August 2007

Fantastic location with scenic views but yet only two minutes drive into the centre of Whitby. Lots of idyllic places to visit nearby.

Ms Cross

Absolutely loved our holiday. All of us thoroughly enjoyed staying at Whalebone Cottage. Owners very helpful and friendly - can't wait to return!

Ms Andrews

May 2007

A good location, close enough to enjoy Whitby for a night out a short drive to either the north Yorks Forest or other coastal resorts.

Mrs Atherton

February 2007

The standard of the accommodation did not disappoint us and we all had a great break. The farm, despite being on a main road and a working sheep farm in the middle of lambing, was tranquil and made for a very pleasant break. The area is much better out of season when there are fewer people around. The owners was very pleasant and we were not aware of everyone else's presence when we were at the farm. She was very welcoming to the children. There was nothing we did not like about our break - even the weather was excellent for February!

Miss Clarke

October 2006

Excellent property - it was like home from home. I would recommend this cottage to anyone and will be visiting again.

Mrs Rowe

September 2006

The house was accesible to beautiful areas, both inland and coast. We were able to sit outside and drink in the beauty of the countryside amidst a working farm environment. Cycle tracks started just outside our door, which were well used all week. The dogs (two) were able to run outside in the garden with the grandchildren and we knew they would all be safe. The added bonus of the two kittens from the farmhouse taking up residence with us for the week just made the holiday. As you can see we were very pleased with our stay at Whalebone cottage.

Mrs Szuster

August 2006

The surrounding landscape was beautiful and very peaceful. Everyone enjoyed the use of the shared trampoline!

July 2006

The cottage was great and we all had an excellent time. The children loved staying on a farm and particularly liked the trampoline and the kittens! Whitby, according to the children, was excellent because it has beach huts, yummy ice cream, a lift to the beach that was like a Tardis and rocks on the beach that you could climb on. The best holiday ever!

Mrs Smith

June 2006

The cottage was excellent from all aspects - accommodation, location and hospitality. We had a party of 12 with ages varying from 14-80. There was something for everyone...

Mr Maund

April 2006

Spacious accommodation and we were left to get on with it.

Mrs Hampshire
