Very cute little place - a little smaller downstairs than expected but the photos were entirely accurate…and the bedrooms and the bathroom were lovely. The mock log burner added a cosy vibe downstairs which we enjoyed. The co-op was very close which was fab! We had a lovely time :)

The cottage is very central with parking close by at £9 for 24 hours. We enjoyed a nice meal at the moon and sixpence, very reasonably priced. The cottage its self is down a dirty alley way which is used by people leaving the pub at all hours and as the cottage has single glazed windows the noise was a problem late at night. After booking the cottage I was then asked to pay a fee for a damage waiver of £25, this should just be within the price. The £60 cleaning fee is a little steep as the cottage is that tiny it could be cleaned top to bottom within an hour. The cleaners obviously don’t check the crockery or utensils as some of the cups had sugar in and the plates were left with grease marks. As a host myself all drawers and cupboards are checked and everything washed ready for the next guests. The batteries in the remote needed replacing too. Little problems that are easily resolved with more care and attention to detail.

Really lovely, cosy, little cottage. Full instructions provided, all heating/appliances easy to use (for the heated towel rail you need to press the switch outside the bathroom door and press the "boost" button). It was clean and perfect for the two of us. The Christmas decorations in the cottage were a really nice touch as well. Bed and pillows really comfy. Great central location. We didn't use the car once we'd parked up; all shops, pubs, restaurants are just a short walk away, plus the seafront, Abbey/steps, and pier. We used the Marina car-park for unloading and loading, and parked about 10 mins walk away for the rest of the time. We felt really at home at Thimble Cottage and we will definitely book to stay here again. Thank you for an enjoyable stay, we loved our cosy Christmas break in Whitby.

Cute little cottage. Perfect location. Parking can be tricky. I've never had to pay a damage waiver fee for a property before and feel like this should be factored into the price of the booking rather than a separate payment afterward.

Great location in the centre of all amenities and tourist attractions, some issue with night time noice bottle collections from local pubs etc , probably not the owners fault but we had to chase the management company on numerous occasions to receive location and access details which stressful Overall Whitby great for a short break

Thimble Cottage is beautifully maintained and such a cute place to stay right in the centre of Whitby by the harbour. We were so surprised at how close it is! The rooms are very comfortable and the bathroom shower was incredible! The entire cottage was spotless and had everything we’d need provided. We were also provided with 2 days worth of parking permits (kept in the welcome book), however we chose to use the 24 hour harbour car park (opposite Co-Op) for convenience instead, as it was only a 200m walk from the cottage and only cost £9 for 24 hours. Much less hassle than trying to find on-street parking in the narrow back streets of Whitby. The only downside was the noise from a nearby nightclub which was very loud after midnight, but it was a beautiful stay and we would definitely come back! Thank you!!

Beautiful little cottage in a perfect location within easy reach of all the bars, restaurants and attractions. Immaculately clean with everything we needed. We didn't really notice any noise other than to be expected from such a central location. Very easy check in and perfect communication - all our questions were answer immediately. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. Many thanks.

On the surface the asthetics were good for the outside of the property and very cosy and bijou on the inside. However this is a very noisy location beyond 11pm at night. Night club next door till 3am in the morning (ok for youngsters wanting to make the most of a night on the town), nothing will block the noise out when in bed prior to 3am. Seem to be Spammed with many e mails that consistently remind of T's and C's of departure times etc even over the Easter weekend, Easter day etc before check in but seemed to be unresponsive to requests when issues arose. Asked for extended check out of 1Hr, no reply till after we left but house which was still not occupied 2-3 hours after we left, nor had it been cleaned. We were absolutely shattered due to the noise from the nightclub. We were told this feedback would be passed on to marketing team, but nothing more than that, no comment on the fact that the word "vibrant" in the description of location actually meant "disruptive" £60 cleaning fee, why? It would take max an hour to top to bottom clean down as the place is so small. Uncomfortable settees if more than 2 staying. Vetting process prior to travel does not seem to be optimised for Android devices, therfore became very manual.

Thimble cottage was perfect. Immaculate and great central location. Only difficulty was parking but we found a space 10 mins walk away.

A very cute, cosy cottage - it was cold when we stayed so we really appreciated the living room stove to relax by. The rooms were really nicely decorated and everything was very clean. It is next door to some pubs so it was quite loud in the evenings, but we expected this - and minded less because it's in such a handy central location. The main downside for me was the excessive level of communication - we got so many emails and messages, including one about how to check out on our first morning (which sort of spoilt the vibe!) and the ID verification process was a pain.

Really lovely cottage, with everything we needed for the weekend. So central and easy to find, only thing that's tricky is the parking as it was peak summer season in Whitby. There is a free parking permit provided but it was a bit hard to find spaces. Beautiful and clean cottage though and a super short walk to the main shops/restaurants/bars in Whitby so we had a really great stay.

A beautiful, clean, well equipped, tiny place to stay right in the middle of Whitby. Be aware the free parking is VERY far away and at the top of the hill. Probably worth budgeting the c.£10/day for the station parking across the road.

We had a lovely stay at Thimble cottage, it was really clean, tidy, had everything you would need when away from home. Really close to the harbour so easy to get around and not far to walk for shops, bars, cafes etc. We did struggle to find it initially even though we used the sat nav, as you come to the mini island by the harbour it is up an alley on your left immediately before the public toilets (coop and train station opp) we parked in harbour car park and just walked across with our luggage until we got our bearings.

Thimble cottage is a beautiful little cottage in a great location. Soon as you walk out onto the street there are many restaurants and shops and the harbour is just over the way. Although it took a while for us to find it because we parked 8 minutes away in a W zone and had to walk to the cottage the sat nav was confusing I’ve never been so happy to see a red door when we arrived! The cottage was very clean, had lots of useful compliance’s and had a lovely homely feel. Not to mention the beds, pillows and duvets were so comfortable could have stayed in there all day! Would love to visit thimble cottage again in the future.

Compact, central, clean and quiet! A great place for a getaway. It might be tight with 4 people staying, but for a little bolt-hole in the middle of Whitby it is superb!
