+Great location, the cottage has a lovely characteristic! Very cozy and comfortable, would stay again.
−A couple of items in the kitchen were unclean- I imagine from previous guests.

“Perfect for a three day visit to the southern side of Whitby.”
+Its location, although the steps up to the property were unexpected. Guests should be duly warned! Very convenient for the Abbey and Saltwick Bay.
−All ok

“Perfect Whitby cottage. A little sanctuary.”
+Charming from top to bottom. Beautifully decorated. Cosy. Quirky. Beds and bedding and pillows soooo comfortable! Wonderful little garden. Easy access through back garden up to the abbey! Easy access through the front to church street down the steps of the Yard. Quiet and peaceful at night as well. Perfect retreat to explore Whitby and all its quirky wonderfulness.
−Nothing at all. It was all fantastic. The stairs are dinky - if people can’t manage stairs well this could be difficult. But not a dislike at all for us. It was good for two but would be tight for more. Again not a dislike at all

“Absolutely loved your home, thank you for having us!”

“We had a lovely time in Whitby and surrounding areas.”
+Excellent location. Lovely little cottage. Well equipped for a very small space.
−Needed some sort of drying facility, like a clothes rack. A table and chairs in the garden and a bbq would have been great. Very tight living space for four people.

“Disappointing cottage in great location”
+Location and small garden. Clean. Comfortable bed
−I would totally endorse Sally's review from March 14th. Though responsive all very impersonal in terms of check in etc. I have never before received access (code) only 10 minutes before I arrived which was quite nerve racking. I have also never been asked to remove my own bedding in a rented cottage except during COVID when that was understandable. We also had a severe heating problem in exactly the same way as Sally in midMarch. I am now even more annoyed , having read Sally's review, that Charlotte knew about it a month before we arrived but has done nothing. It was very cold whilst we were there. We did not want or know how to use log fire and if the radiators had been the right temperature we would not have needed to. As it was, we put the oven on for additional heat after appeals to Charlotte resulted in no readjustment to the constant 16 or 17 degrees. Accessibility to the house is v tricky as are the stairs in the house. I felt quite fearful going to the toilet at night from the top floor even though I am pretty mobile and fit for my age. In warm weather, for young agile people this could be a great find. My friend and myself found it disappointing for the price paid for a b

“Pleasant cottage but needs a few tweaks”
+Great location in the old town which we prefer. Up a side alley, Borough Place with a fair flight of steps but no issues for us. Small and compact cottage. Wood burner adds to the atmosphere which we had to use daily. I’ll come to that later. Comfy 2 seater sofa and a single armchair with enough room for us as a couple. This room leads up to a small set of stairs to the back door where there is a pretty garden with chairs and some promising plants and roses just shooting out leaves. Going to be lovely I’m sure, when the weather improves. The kitchen area was adequate and although we didn’t cook, looked like everything there to do so. Upstairs to first floor, narrow staircase but quirky, led to the double bedroom with good quality bed linen and a small bathroom with shower and toilet. Another small narrow staircase to an upstairs small twin with a snug area we didn’t use. The twin we used as a dressing room for me. Nice quality wool blankets on beds. We have sheep ourselves so I was happy to see these.
−Firstly, I’d like to say this is my honest opinion and please don’t take it as criticism. The heating is on a hive system and requires several attempts to adjust to warmth. Freezing cold first thing and if you’re out, which we were quite a lot, the heating turns itself off and then you need to adjust the set temperature back up to your desired level. We only needed it up to 20-21 in the morning so not really excessive. It’s adjusted by the owner who obviously decides on how it’s used from afar. The boiler is located in a padlocked cupboard in the snug so you can’t bypass the hive. Upstairs is very cold. We used 3 small bags of logs which you can purchase from the CoOp £8 per bag and kept the upstairs doors open to allow the cottage to warm up. Also, new mugs might be an idea. At least matching. There was no dish sponge or cloth wipe to clean up after oneself. There were also previous guests opened items left in the cupboards. Used ground coffee, various opened teas, opened pack of sugar with chilli flakes and other bits and bobs. Used tub of spread in the fridge too. These need to be removed for hygiene reasons. As do the two rugs in the kitchen/sitting room which were stained and

“Quirky cottage in an ideal location”
+The cottage was fantastic. Such a quirky place with loads of character, one minute from the centre of the old town but in a quiet location. The beds were comfy and the place was well-equipped with everything you might need. The log-burner was a lovely bonus. Would definitely stay here again.
