  We recently visited 1 Burns Yard and had a wonderful stay.

  The property was exceptionally clean and met our high standards of cleanliness. The property is well equipped and has everything that you will need. The linen and towels were lovely too and there were mattress and pillow protectors used; the mattress was new. We took our little dog, who felt very settled and at home. If you struggle with stairs then this would not be the property for you, as there are forty stairs from the hallway up to the third floor. 1 Burns Yard is situated in a central location and literally a few minutes walk from the harbour. There are also some good pubs, a stylish wine bar and restaurants on the doorstep. Judith, our host was very friendly and professional. The only negative we had was that the lead up to the property needed sweeping and jet washing, the wheelie bins were over flowing with garbage which was off-putting. However, this is a shared pathway to four or five properties on Burns Yard and so all residents/property owners have a role to play in keeping the pathway maintained. To this end, we will definitely book this property again without hesitation and would recommend it to our family and friends.

  The positives….

  . situated brilliantly for everything around Whitby. The carpets around the property felt plush. Everything you could need in a kitchen. Heating system easy to use. Communication with owner excellent. The negatives… Seats in lounge were uncomfortable and one of them wasn’t the cleanest. One of the sockets in the living room not working. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned fully. The toilet had fluff behind it and a wooden toilet seat is unsanitary. The shower head was dirty so we didn’t use that. We had to clean the bath and tiles before use because it wasn’t cleaned properly. The radiator in the bathroom didn’t work. The toilet roll holder broke on first use and fell off the wall. The mattress was uncomfortable and the bed frame needs tightening as just breathing makes it move. If you’re allergic to birds, definitely avoid this place. The pigeons love to use the alleyway as a toilet and we slipped on the poo a few times. The cutlery etc was all tinged with a taste of bleach so had to wash before use.

  Lovely cottage, very clean, left milk, teabags and coffee sachets for our arrival{thankyou}.

  the only reason i dropped it down a star is because of the workmen next door banging all day, not actually there fault though. Would not recommend if anyone as any disabilities though, it as three flight of stairs so would not be viable. Ideal location in the middle of the town, handy for everywhere. make sure you check you are parked in the right place, it is a w scratch card, my husband parked on a w disc location so got fined £25, we googled it and said you can park at St Hilda's but there is a terrace and a street, we parked there as the ones near the hotel was all full, our mistake though. I would recommend staying there though as it is lovely, we really only slept there and drank tea and coffee and had breakfast there, but well worth the money we paid.

  Great location, handy for beach, shops, restaurants, bus and railway station.

  All within 10mins walk. Modern airy ground floor flat, with all mod cons and plenty of kitchen equipment, towels and other bits and pieces, eg bottle opener, torch and even dog bowls!. Netflfix and Freeview access easy to use. .....Downside , had to park 4 streets away as no space near at all. Over the 3 days as soon as space free , another car shot into it. Also no private outdoor space , and front door onto main street so if you have a dog its a constant "leashing up" for walkies!.....Also pleeaase change the uncomfortable bed settee in lounge , its not the best, sorry. ....All in all though , location ,price and facilities would make us visit again.

  Had a fantastic stay at cowslip retreat. Accommodation was beautifully decorated and to a high standard and well equipped but you do need to take you own sauces, oils etc etc. The views from the patio were outstanding. The pub at the top of the road was unfortunately temporarily closed so we had a walk to the Salmon Leap pub which was a 20 minute walk, they only have short opening hours 5-10 every day. Bus stop only a 5 minute walk to take you into Whitby. Molly was extremely helpful. I messaged het a few times with questions which she answered straight away. She was there when we arrived and showed us around. Would definitely recommend .
