Mallard cottage is well located being 10 /15 mins walk from Whitby Harbour. Its was very clean, homely and well equipped with quality kichen appliances However the king matteress needs replacing as uncomfortable (lumps and bumps) and is sunken in the middle causing roll together (we are not big people) Also the TV/DVD is poor quality with limited channels. The proximity to the school was not an issue for us as the buses arrive around 8.30am and we were up by then. However we had a bin collection on the Tuesday morning at 6.30am ( Green waste) then again on Wednesday morning at 6.30am ( general waste) Then again on the Friday morning for whatever reason again at 6.30am! The bins are placed under the window of the downstairs bedroom maybe moving them to nearer the site entrance would help. This being said we had a enjoyable stay and would return Thank you

A lovely cottage that was exceptionally clean and with all the amenities you could think of.. They have really thought carefully about what people need to make their holiday enjoyable and as hassle free as possible. The wooden finish adds to its charm and as I say they have really thought of everything which in the current situation is reassuring. The cottage is located next to the Cinder track and a short walk to the harbour, town and a little further to the beach making it ideal for getting about either on bike or on foot. The only downside was the master bed which either needs replacing or repairing as it dips in the middle which means our nights sleep wasn't as comfortable as it could have been. Overall we had a fabulous stay and were very comfortable and loved our Staycation. Thank you Skyes and thank you owners of the Mallard Cottage.

A gem of a get-away place, well situated in Whitby, this was our second visit and won't be our last!

The Christmas tree and decorations were a lovely sight to greet us.. We could not fault any aspect of the cottage,and enjoyed our time so much we have booked for next Christmas.

The cottage was exactly as depicted, in a great location - just a short walk from Whitby town. So much to see and do in Whitby we will need to visit again.

This is a very good property at which to stay despite the fact that if you walk into town then you face some hard climbs to get home.. (Taxi is about £5) It has a great aspect from the patio over toward the Abbey......perfect for sitting out on a warm night (which we unfortunately did not get!) with a glass of wine (which I did get!). It is a very convenient location for the moors and for the coastal run via Robin Hood's Bay (a must visit) down to Scarborough. A fixed shower and curtain would be beneficial in the upstairs bathroom. A better tin opener in the kitchen would be a good idea (I had to resort to my Swiss Army knife at one point). These are quite minor issues. I am notorious for being stingy with my responses to surveys but overall I would rate Mallard at 9.9. I am likely to be back in Whitby for the WW2 weekend in October but unfortunately Mallard is already booked. Pity. For the gastronomes I can recommend Magpie; Marine; and Fisherman's Wife.

The mattress was very old, hard and the springs kept popping.. Other than that ruining our sleep it was a nice cottage

Hi stayed at mallard cottage from the 9th March for 3 nights. A great location and a lovely cottage with plenty of parking. The only downside was the bed extremely hard and uncomfortable with the springs popping all night. Would recommend a stay here IF they update the very old mattresses. After all if you don’t get a good night sleep it can spoil your day.

We loved staying at Mallard Cottage.. The location is great and close to the marina. Facilities were good with everything a family may need for a stay at a cottage. The kids loved playing hide & seek and the mezzanine bedroom. I’d suggest taking slippers as the floor tiles were food but other than that we really enjoyed staying there. Will definitely book again.

The booking process is really straightforward and easy, we were kept informed from start to finish.. The cottage was excellent and in a really good location as stated on the website. Would definitely recommend using this company.

We shared the experience with friends who were equally impressed with the location, facilities and comfort of the cottage..

The only issue we had was with the tv.. The signal was extremely poor on certain channels so was very limited as regards which programmes to watch.

Mallard Cottage was ideal for myself and the couple with me who had limited mobility.. It was easy to collect the keys, and instructions for this were clear. The cottage itself was a touch difficult to find and a location map would have helped as the sat nav took us to the opposite side of the bridge. The Cottage was really delightful - clean, warm and well equipped, and just wonderful to relax in once the journey to the venue was complete. The beds were comfortable and the property gave panoramic views of Whitby, including the Abbey and St Mary’s Church in the distance. It was excellent to have dedicated parking right next the Cottage and the door of the property, which made loading and unloading the car a breeze. Whilst there is a school in close proximity we were informed prior to hiring the Cottage that this was the case, and this matter gave no cause for concern at all at the Cottage. We spent a couple of days visiting friends and relatives, and I was able to walk into town very easily from the Cottage, to enjoy shopping and soaking up the marvellous atmosphere of the town, and could easily have walked to see friends living in the area. We had a really amazing stay enhanced by the facilities at, and the convenience of Mallard Cottage. We would certainly recommend the venue to others and plan to return in the future ourselves.

Fantastic little cottage, beautifully fitted out, high end appliances - en suite for both bedrooms huge bonus! 10 minute walk to the town, glorious weather fabulous holiday - thank you

A nice clean little cottage.. Like most cottages we have booked that sleep 4 we find only 4 seats, it would be nice to have larger or an extra seat to relax more. We could only find 1 tea towel and could not find the clove to open the log burner. But saying this, it is still a lovely cottage.

I was amazed by the high standards in this property. Everywhere was immaculate. All furnishings and appliances were to the highest standard and again immaculate. It was an absolute pleasure to cook in this kitchen. The photos simply do not do it justice and the owner clearly takes a lot of pride in this property; everything is well thought out and beautifully designed / maintained. It was a genuine delight to stay here, the perfect holiday home, in the perfect location.

A good location with a short walk into Whitby and it was great to come back to the cottage where it was bright, airy, clean and warm with no distractions. Overall excellent accommodation, would reuse if going back to Whitby.

Great location just on the hill to Whitby, right on the cinder track for anyone wanting to cycle or walk; a quick walk to town and rail station. Nice house, very clean. We were very happy with our stay.
