Great location, modern house

Small courtyard parking with only one allocated space, bit of a problem when you have two cars ! ! !

All the guests enjoyed their stay and the house was furnished beautifully. We didn,t use any kitchen appliances except the kettle and toaster and It was very well equipped.
The bedrooms/bathrooms were spotless, however in the double bedroom on first floor, there was dust behind bedside table (found after retrieving something that had fell behind) and a dirty cushion cover on the top floor bed.
It is situated a reasonable distance to walk into town. We would definitely stay again and also recommend it to friends/ family.
The only other negative, were the squeaky stairs, especially when creaping up or down, trying not to disturb anyone!
Plenty of lovely memories were maid, thankyou 😊

The photographs do not give justice to this cottage. It was larger than we were expecting and beautifully set out.
We enjoyed a very comfortable stay. The property was easy to find and the private parking space within the courtyard was invaluable.
We were attending the Whitby 60’s weekend and were able to walk to the pavilion with ease and has access to all of the towns main attractions. A very short drive to Sainsbury’s and the surrounding countryside. We would recommend this property without hesitation

Spacious, great location, easy to park, comfortable bed and luxurious bedding.

A few items were missing, no large/pint glasses, no cleaning products ie kitchen spray, no toiletries provided despite being mentioned on the listing. A coffee table in the living room would also be useful. Many of the cupboards/windows were set so high up they were difficult to access.

Returned home from Soda Cottage today and miss it already. It’s a beautiful property in a quiet courtyard development about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Whitby. Loved our stay, met the whole family’s needs. Great location. Private parking. Would definitely stay again when we get the chance 😃

The location was great, the space was perfect. Really clean and welcoming and well equipped. The internet didn’t work at all and when we reported it the responses were slow and not helpful.

Myself, my friend and our families had a wonderful stay at sofa cottage. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped and the location is perfect.
Lovely week away, thank you ❤️

The property itself is lovely, great location.

It advertises streaming services like Netflix etc, this isn’t the case as the internet does not work. With two young kids and a baby, the early mornings would have benefited with something for them to watch. Simply didn’t work. I reported it the first day and it took 2 days for a response and there was no solution. I didn’t push it as we were out of the house first thing and back late enough so tv was not a real bother, it’s just to be prepared that the internet and phone signal isn’t good at all.

I did not continue with my stay in the property to comment as the property failed to provide what was advertised. I had to leave due to no internet connection and having a son with disabilities who needed this.

There is no internet. The property advertises internet and streaming services. This is untrue! I rang Host and Stay before making this booking to check it had good wifi as my son is autistic and cannot manage without this. They stated the property had good wifi. On arrival I tried to connect to the wifi. It is non existent. There is no wifi, no streaming service and even the TV channels were not accessible due to no internet connection. The most disappointing thing is the lack of care and support. I called Host and Stay 3 times on arrival and they kept saying they would make enquiries and call me back which they never did. I had to vacate the property after two hours of distress from my son and received no contact from Host and Stay. I ended up having to book in to a hotel as they did absolutely nothing to resolve this. It’s been over a week now and I have not even received a phone call regarding my complaint and the stress this put us under when we were supposed to be having a nice holiday away! This is false advertising. There is no internet, no streaming services and I could not even access mobile data on my phone in this property. In this day and age we all need internet. I would not be able to stay anywhere without it and it is appalling to advertise this property has wifi and confirm on the phone that it was good. I could not even find a router.
I would suggest if you need internet do not stay here and don’t trust the company to contact you about your complaint if you have one. I filled in their form which says they will respond within 7 days and this has not happened either. I will be continuing my complaint and escalating matters further. Just more stress that I don’t need. All I wanted was a nice holiday break for myself and my son and it turned into a nightmare!

Lovely house, really enjoyed our stay. Everything you could need is provided. Easy walking distance to the town and having parking is a great bonus. The patio garden is secure for dogs but there is no grass so you need to take a walk when they need a wee. Would highly recommend Soda Cottage.

The proximity to the centre

The lack of adequate (WiFi) though I understand that this has now been upgraded.
Insufficient crockery and glassware to enable the dishwasher to be run on full.
Dangerously high kitchen cupboards and shelves.
Lack of basic kitchen equipment like oven gloves and washing up brush.

We have just got back from a three night stay at Soda Cottage. Fabulous house, big enough for the 6 of us. Great location, walking distance to the Abbey and town centre. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was lovely And in a nice position

Internet was pathetic was so bad it was under 1tb . Phone signal isn’t the best either . I rang before I went to see if I needed to bring a tv for my sons room to hook up his ps5 .i asked about the internet everything was ok but it wasn’t . Took 4 days to get in touch with owners of house .We weren’t getting kept up to date . My son is severely autistic with a learning disability .and PS GAMES are one of his obsessions. We had to get an hot spot on our phones for him . My daughter had to leave 3days early because you can’t possibly work from there . We couldn’t even get internet on our phone most the time . NO WAY COULD YOU USE ANYTHING NEEDING INTERNET . The owners say it’s not a guaranteed facility it’s a luxury !!!! . Absolutley disgusting . JUST DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU NEED INTERNET . OUR PHONES WOULDNT EVEN CONNECT IT WAS SO POOR . No compensation for the upset and stress of ringing up numerous times . WAITING IN FOR SOMEBODY FROM THE TEAM TO HAVE A LOOK !!!It took 5 days for them to even register with the internet provider . Nobody came to look at it . Owners of the house said we must of been streaming and using the internet
Data . IF ONLY . So for anybody not wanting internet this place is ok . But in this day and age it’s not a luxury it’s a necessity . Kids use internet on a daily basis never mind adults . And anybody with children /adults with a disability and needing occupied by IPad or PlayStation forget about it DO NOT TRUST THESE 😡

Just had a wonderful family weekend in this first class accommodation. The house is lovely, bright and airy. Bedrooms are beautiful, clean and with crisp white linen and towels, are very comfortable. Lovely big bathrooms with great showers. Gorgeous kitchen and lovely, comfortable lounge area. The outside seating area is a great sun trap. All finished off with some lovely homely touches like the beautiful lamps and mirrors.
I would highly recommend Soda Cottage to anyone.

Excellent location and beautiful, spacious property with everything you need. Walkable to the quieter side of Whitby town, with everything you need in walkable distance. No problems with parking, we brought two cars and paid for 4 days parking with the Whitby tourist information for one of the cars. Everything was ten out of ten although the one small thing that did let it down was the WiFi, it wasn’t very good if you wanted to watch Netflix or prime, or something on a tablet or phone. The tvs worked fine though.
Overall a good property and would go back there and recommend for families and people looking to do some walking.
