Good week, good location although parking is an issue but this was highlighted prior to booking, had to carry all our things down the street and then down many steps.. We did feel cleanliness was an issue in areas, cooker, crockery chewing gum a d some foodstuffs left on some of the plates. We did email the owner who said she would pass it onto the cleaner. A bit lame we thought. But Whitby was good.

This is an absolutely fantastic cottage for the perfect Whitby holiday which is
in the heart of the town, just 5-10 minutes walk to beach though the town.The cottage itself is beautifully presented and incredibly welcoming and comforting: it was well equipped with incredibly comfortable beds sleeping up to 5 guests ; also it has a perfect sized TV in its modern spacious living area with spectacular views overlooking the harbour and another great feature was the phenomenal bathrooms, the shower tends to your needs perfectly (which is easily adjusted a powerful shower spray)
However, the only problem with the cottage is the parking; you have to be very lucky to get somewhere to park (but this is like most cotteges in the prime location of whitby).Don't let this put you off as it is a lovely cottage with breathtaking views! Defiantly recommend .

The cottage was perfect for a relaxing holiday. It offered great views and was a good base for our walking holiday.
