Lovely warm cottage. The only thing that put me off were the two steps to the bedroom. I have arthritic knees and my husband had to help me up and down. Whitby is always crammed and there is parking cards you need if trying to park anywhere. We had a gorgeous Sunday meal at the Hare and Hounds, just down the road, but we booked Saturday and could only get 5.00 pm, which was good for us otherwise they were fully booked. So book well in advance. Otherwise it’s ok.
