“Amazing time - will be booking again”
+It’s a perfect old style cottage in a fantastic location with all the quirks and curiosities you’d hope for from an old cottage at Whitby - perfectly clean and helped create a memorable weekend

“Good location but shabby and unclean”
+The location was good
−The properly was very dirty in parts. The kitchen and main bathroom seems clean enough as were the linens but the floors were so dirty they made your feet black, the living room rug was greasy feeling, there were huge cobwebs everywhere and one of the bath mats was filthy. I can understand that the properly is old and has quirks however there were things that could have easily been cleaned and weren’t. Also we had no hot water on arrival and for three days of our stay so we couldn’t have a bath and did not have not water in the kitchen unless we boiled a kettle. I messaged the property twice and they didn’t respond. I don’t want to leave a bad review without speaking to the landlord however they have ignored me so I have no choice. If we had babies in the house or it was cold weather it would have been inexcusable to leave us with a broken boiler.

+Location was perfect
−I treated my family to a weekend away in Whitby for my mother's birthday. On arrival, we were greeted by a smelly, overflowing bin in the small courtyard, with three additional bags of rubbish left outside it. I was assured via text that the owner was aware of the issue and was arranging for it to be dealt with. However, nearly 48 hours passed, despite several messages, and the waste was still there. The smell and the flies, both outside and inside the house, were terrible. I have visited Whitby many times and stayed in several different properties. Sadly, while this accommodation is in a perfect location, it feels tired and in need of some care and attention. Improvements are needed in the alleyway, courtyard, kitchen units, flooring, carpets, and bedrooms, to name just a few areas. The location is excellent, but unfortunately it is let down by poor maintenance and a lack of attention from the owner.

“ok”
+Location was perfect and everything was within walking distance
−not enough towels left for a whole weekend, it was one per person, and the towels had stains on them. sofa and bed decorative cushions need a freshen. parking not great, the instructions where not very clear. the bin was full of nappies on our arrival and this resulted in a lot of flys in the garden area.
