The property's thoughtful touches, including a welcome hamper, add to the charm, making it a highly recommended stay in Whitby.

Reviewers unanimously commend the property for its spotless condition, indicating meticulous attention to cleanliness and maintenance.

The property's location is celebrated for its beautiful views and proximity to Whitby town centre, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of cosy furnishings, a comfortable bed, and a homely atmosphere.

The property is well-equipped with quality white goods, an induction hob, and a well-furnished decking area. However, a few guests missed having a Smart TV and found parking occasionally challenging due to others' inconsiderate parking.

Many guests were delighted by the welcome hamper and the provision of dog treats, although it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

    Perfect location, spotlessly clean . probably the only negative were the overpowering air fresheners but not a problem as we just switched them off. Didn't have chance to use the garden because of the weather. We were slightly worried as dogs are allowed, but as I have said the house was very clean.
