We had a lovely couple of nights in Whitby. Great location right in the middle of the town. It was very peaceful. Used the long stay car park nearby.

I must express my disappointment in the property. On arrival on Friday, we followed the instructions and entered the property through the metal gate, walking past a wooden pallet, lots of rubbish in the passage and general mess, we finally got the front door in the dreary passageway. Upon entering the property, it was immediately clear that the cleaning was not up to standard for an Airbnb property. The food mess left on the table and chairs, the splats of drinks on the staircase, the thick dust throughout the property can only be an accumulation of months of neglect. The carpets had hairs, food and dust and clearly not been hovered. We found wooden spoons with hard crusted food, a bowl and roasting trays with mold stuck to it, fingerprints all over the microwave and a filthy oven. We found ourselves having to clean everything we needed to use beforehand as we couldn’t trust anything. Bedrooms had used ear buds on the floor, in the drawers and hairs in the bathrooms, FILTHY

We were disappointed with our stay. The place needs a deep clean and freshen up. Marks on the walls, kitchen dirty with food in the draining board etc. One of the toilets broke, I messaged to get it fixed and 2 days later nobody had been out. We were leaving the next day so told them to leave it. Also, the bathroom door on the middle floor locks you in. I’ve since looked at reviews on different sites and the toilet breaking and door locking are mentioned quite often so I don’t understand why they don’t fix the issues. Maybe we didn’t read into the property enough but there is no hand wash provided in any of the 3 toilets and the stairs are really steep. We didn’t realise the place was set on 4 floors which we found a pain. The location is great though. You couldn’t be more central. We we just disappointed mainly with the cleanliness and upkeep of the property. Such a shame.

Stayed for a long weekend - two couples and 2 children. Great location, close to amenities and plenty of exploring opportunities in walking distance. Property was as pictured although it felt a little unclean - crumbs in kitchen, dirty mirrors and hair, but the beds were comfortable and we all slept well. Downstairs bathroom latch was broken so beware not to get trapped inside! Overall we enjoyed our mini getaway and Whitby is a beautiful place.

Really great place to stay. Would like to come back. Damage waiver needs to be more clearly written or put in with the information about the payment options. Host was quick to respond and always felt we could get in touch with them. My 30th birthday was extra special because of the location and quality of the property!

Amazing and enormous apartment in the centre of Whitby. Perfectly located just next to the Swing Bridge. Comfortable, well done out and lots of space across four floors, three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Recommended.

What a lovely property in the most perfect location in Whitby. Teenagers loved the football table and we played board games in front of the massive tv when it was rainy! Loved Whitby and loved the house!

Fantastic location, minutes away from everything you need in Whitby. Parking very close by. Plenty of space in the apartment for 6 adults. Had an issue with hot water but great communication from the hosts to resolve the issue. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Positives - a good very central location, clean bedding & comfy beds. Negatives - parking in high season is a massive issue, there is an unloading bay near but do not think you'll get a spot in the car park - we ended up parked about a mile away! The place is in need of some maintenance, but has a rustic charm. Not easy to find - look for the black unlabelled gate opposite the yellow fossil shop, the cottage is down the alley, not directly on Grape Lane.

Location is right in the heart of old Whitby’s winding streets. Fantastic to be able to walk anywhere but it does mean once you’re in, you’re in as there’s no outdoor space or views. It also means parking is a way away but manageable. A large house which is well equipped and plenty of space for a family stay.

Great location in Whitby with everything required for catering in if not eating out. Company running the property communicated well and in a timely way. Overall a very nice stay.

Very well located, clean, comfy beds. Tv and wifi easy to use and worked well. Property was easy to find although access gate was a bit fiddly. Table football which my son loved! Property backs onto a restaurant so there was some noise until midnight. Also wouldn’t recommend to under 4’s/elderly/less mobile as 3 very steep staircases. Unfortunately there was no hot water during our stay which was really inconvenient, will return to Whitby but not to this property.

Perfect location. Although Difficult to find as entrance is behind an unlabelled black gate. Plenty of space in the accommodation and lots of bathrooms. Great communication and attentive booking company. Free parking included in accommodation is great but be warned all the W zones are on the other side of the water at least 10 mins walk away. Not a problem for us but something to be aware of. Heads up, it’s over 4 floors and all stairs are spiral stair cases and quite steep.

Lovely cosy cottage stay at the heart of Whitby. Beware, as there is no free parking nearby unfortunately. This can be especially stressful when unpacking on arrival.

We had a great stay. The cottage was as shown in the pictures and more than enough room for 5 of us. it was clean and high standard with some games for the kids. the location was very central and convenient, a little bit of noise but not a major issue. internet was a bit iffy too but, otherwise we couldn't fault it. the property was well equipped and we could have easily stayed longer. overall good value all considered.

Fantastic characterful property, nestled at the back of the main buildings on Grape Lane. Accessed by a gated alley way, the property delivers a quiet experience whilst being located right in the centre of Whitby.

This is a fantastic property full of charm and character with plenty of space and great convenience in terms of facilities and location. It’s also surrounded by great shops, cafes, restaurants and fish and chip shops. Not a bad distance to the beaches on foot and right opposite the Captain Cook museum. Just a few paces outside leads you to great views to the harbour. You do need to walk down a narrow ginnel, guarded by an ancient and slightly rusty gate. For us this added charm and adventure but to others this might not be to their taste. Nice inside, the house is rustic, charming, quirky but comfortable with modern feeling bathrooms, kitchen and tv room. The beds are comfortable with immaculate and crisp white bedding. As I say, entering and leaving the property is a little adventure in itself but charming and interesting. There are lots of narrow stairs to which may be a bit tricky for those not too steady on their feet but for most people it will be fine. Again these slightly narrow spiral staircases are wonderfully charming and give a sense of history. But the accommodation is set over four floors so again, those with immobility may struggle a bit. For our family, this wonderful cottage was just the ticket and we enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely go back again in the future. I would highly recommend this cottage though I would gently warn that it may be a tad awkward for some to manoeuvre in and around it. For those that embrace quirky and different, then this is the perfect place for you.

Having just returned from a mini break in Whitby, (Saturday 18th until Monday 21st) with our 10 year old twin boys, we can not recommend this accommodation more highly. The location is fantastic, really central (albeit it took us a little time to find) and is a stones throw from everywhere. Whilst very quirky it all adds to the appeal and cottage effect, which is really nice. Plenty of room for our little family and we really enjoyed our stay so thank you for the thought and effort gone in to making it memorable. David, Helen, Henry & Oliver
