“It was just so perfect.”
+It had everything we needed. Place for my little dog to excise. Close to the town of Whitby. Nice and quiet at night.

+Lovely location at the top of the hill. Useful little kitchen with practical appliances and a delicious welcome pack. Comfortable dining room and lounge. The bedroom with double bed plus a single bed was very comfortable and had a lovely view.
−In the second bedroom, the bed was less comfortable. The addition of somewhere to put a case or bag would be of benefit. The sun rises on this side and the thin, light coloured curtains did not block the early dawn; light blocking curtains would facilitate a better night's sleep.

“Really liked Whitby and the coastal walks. Fantastic Fish and chips at the Fish Box in Robin Hood Bay. Good beers too in”
+The location was brilliant and the view from the lounge over the bay was really lovely and very picturesque. Also a nice, homely feel to the cottage.
−The pillows weren’t fluff up able, but that’s all!

+Our third year running in this beautiful holiday home. An absolute gem of a location with a view to take your breath away. The cottage is lived in and so cosy, really like a home from home. The milk, flowers and cookies were much appreciated. Rebecca was super helpful with an issue I had before check in. Thank you so much.
−Nothing, except having to come home 😊

“A repeat visit to Coastguards and we weren't disappointed.”
+Location is excellent. Amazing views over to the beach from the living room. Round the corner from the Abbey and Whitby Brewery, and only a few minutes walk from the centre of the Town. Parking for one vehicle, and easy access in and out of the property. Property was clean and equipped with everything we needed for a great holiday.
−We travelled with teenagers, and found the WIFI couldn't cope with the amount of streaming they were doing (but middle aged parents didn't have an issue). Also, despite the property saying it had an outdoor shed for extra storage, we weren't able to access the code to get in (despite numerous emails and calls). Would recommend hosts put this information somewhere in the property so it's accessible once you've gained entry. We had 3 bikes to store and had to keep these in the dining room which wasn't ideal.

“The best views in Whitby”
+The view was stunning and we enjoyed some spectacular sunsets from the comfort of the cottage. Absolutely worth the effort of the 199 steps to have that view every day. The cafe/bar at the nearby YHA served some great food (especially cake) and the brewery was brilliant on all counts - beer, pizza and atmosphere. We had very clear communication from the hosts on how to get to the property and where to park. There’s no shop in the immediate vicinity but milk and lovely locally made biscuits were left for us to enjoy when we arrived.
−The only thing that was a negative for me personally was that the mattress in the room with the one bed was too firm for me to be comfortable. If I were to come back I’d probably look to bring an extra quilt to lie on to soften it a bit. Perhaps if a mattress topper could be provided as an option that would be useful.

“Fabulous location and well appointed house.”
+Fantastic location. Well appointed kitchen, fresh flowers and biscuits tea and coffee are a nice touch. Plenty of room for the 3 of us.
−An outside table would have been nice to sit and have a glass of wine in the sunshine.

+Outstanding location on the headland next to the Abbey with good sea views from the lounge and bedroom. Accommodation was clean with everything we needed
−Electrics are in need of modernisation to remove the need for the plethora of trailing cables and extension leads. Garden was overgrown
