Great townhouse and very close to town but not too close so that it was noisy. The apartment was lovely and modern whilst still feeling homely. Parking was a bit of a squeeze although they do state that small cars are preferable. There are quite a lot of steps up to the townhouse from the car park space which, if you've got a lot of bags can be quite hard work. The hosts were really responsive throughout the stay which was great. The apartment was just about big enough for us (4 adults and a baby).
Would stay here again at such a good price and the addition of a car park space makes it very worth while in Whitby town centre.

Had a nice stay here, property was clean inside and nicely furnished. Beds really comfy and there is some outside space with seating. Location is easily walkable to harbour and the abbey. House is upside down in layout and kitchen/lounge is on the top floor, there is no storage space in the kitchen, but that was ok for a few days, you might have issues if you stayed longer. There are more than a "few" steps to the property as advertised, there are quite a lot and if you have mobility issues then dont stay here. The car parking space is also not great, it is very very small, the actual spot is opposite where have bins chained to the wall so trying to swing around to get in without hitting the strangely placed columns is near impossible. Anything bigger than a fiesta and you'll need to find some other parking. Be aware of Host and Stay, frustrating that after payment they demand more money for security deposits or insurance policies and then they keep £10 for an admin fee!

Great location and clean, new feeling interior! Good communication from host company, with very clear communication throughout.
Obviously sucks to be stuck with additional external deposit system & additional inexplicable £10 admin fee?! But it all went smoothly and our deposit came back promptly 👍

There were some great aspects of Oyster Cottage. The location is very good - just a few minutes to the harbour and the local shops. There was a parking space (it is very tight but we managed in a Berlingo just about) which I believe is unusual in Whitby. The towels were lovely and the shower was great. We had all we needed. However, it is located up a slope and then another 37 steps to the house (not ‘a few’ as in the ad). When we arrived, there were no hand or tea towels and there was a footprint-type mark on one of the bed sheets. The biggest thing is how close you are to the other Air BNB properties - I’d estimate 7 metres. We regularly made eye contact with those in other houses, including one person in bed. Having said that, I would return as it was well located. We had a comfortable stay, though it might be tight if there are six of you for a period of time.
