Hidden Gem was the perfect place to stay to explore Whitby. The cottage was spotless and so well equipped and the welcome package was really lovely! To be honest there was a lot of stuff we packed that we didn't need as everything was already there, we can definitely travel lighter next time.It's so nice to stay in a cottage that is truly dog friendly as well. There was no stairgates and strict instructions everywhere on where dogs were and weren't allowed. Instead there were bowls and towels and even treats left out and we really felt the dog was as welcome as we were. We were a little concerned about the parking and to be honest we did do a couple of laps on the first day trying to find a space, however I think it was just unfortunate timing and not knowing the area as we didn't struggle at all after that and there was so much to do in and around Whitby we hardly needed the car anyway.Would recommend popping into Bothams Bakery, dinner at Humble Pie and Mash and booking a Sunday roast at Sneaton Castle. All were highlights for us 😊
