Guests say
Grey Gull in Whitby is a beautifully presented, modern cottage praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and excellent location close to the town centre. Guests consistently highlight the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and stylish décor. While parking can be challenging and the outside space is limited, most found these manageable. The property is dog-friendly, though the lack of a garden may not suit all pet owners. Minor maintenance issues and the provision of essentials like toilet roll were occasionally noted, but overall, guests enjoyed a pleasant and comfortable stay and would happily return.
The majority of guests found the property exceptionally clean, with several describing it as spotless and well-maintained. Only a couple of minor issues, such as a wet tea towel and a lingering dog smell, were mentioned, but these were rare exceptions.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Whitby town centre and local amenities. While some guests noted the steep hill and parking difficulties, most found the setting convenient and ideal for exploring the area.
Guests frequently commented on the comfortable beds, quality furnishings, and homely atmosphere. The main drawbacks were the steep stairs and the single toilet, which could be challenging for larger groups or those with mobility issues.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern appliances and everything needed for a self-catering stay. Some guests noted issues with the hob, heating, and minor maintenance, and several mentioned the lack of a true garden or patio area, especially for dog owners.
A few guests appreciated the provision of tea, coffee, and milk pots on arrival, but others noted the absence of basics like toilet roll, bin bags, and dishwasher tablets. Please note that welcome gifts or supplies are not guaranteed and may vary.

Property is clean but smells of dogs we moved the rugs out of the property during our stay which helped. Need to remove them. No back garden so dog had to be taken for walks every time he needed to go out. So not ideal. But good value for money clean and comfortable beds.
