Cottage was ok but not very clean, the dust under the mattress was bad. The cobwebs in the lamps and light fittings was mega. Bathroom floor needs a good scrub. The sofa is slippery. The tv is not easy to use or navigate. It was nice and quiet. The path up the gulley needs attention especially for anyone with reduced mobility. The parking is horrendous and expensive, even the residents complain about it.

Whitby Sands is in a good location and close to the centre of whitby, only issue really was around the limited parking.
