Basic but great location wise.
Generally really good cottage, only improvements could be somewhere to hang clothes & a couple more mirrors.
Location is absolutely amazing & there was some lovely quirks to the property

House is in great location for visiting Whitby, however not ideal if you have non-walking children and lots of things to unpack as access to the house involves lots of steps and you cannot park a car near the entrance so have to do several trips for your bags etc.
Property is also smaller than seems on photos and stairs internally are incredibly steep, again would not advise staying with small children or elderly.
Property was very unclean on our arrival, pet hair all downstairs, floors had clearly not been hoovered/swept or mopped. Bathroom also needs a deep clean and was not to the standard we would expect given the £125 cleaning fee.
Overall great location, smaller than expected and very unclean. Ideal for a group of adults rather than a family.

The late check-in, early check-out and inability to leave bags for a couple of hours cut short our stay. The dog poo over the garden coloured our stay a little too.
But to end on a positive, the house was clean and tidy, linen was immaculate and the area was really quiet despite being slap bang in the middle of everything

Great location, in the middle of town and close to the pier and beach. Good place for kids with arcades near by and lots of restaurants. We would come back

Great location, easy check, great time in Whitby but one toilet roll for 6 people for a weekend was a bit ambitious!

Lovely little cottage just set back off the main street behind the famous Magpie Fish and Chip Restaurant. With a spacious garden right in the centre of Whitby it's peaceful yet so close to all the main attractions. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were really comfortable. The stairs are a little streap and narrow but there is a handrail to support you when using them and adds character to the property. There are also a few low ceilings so mind your head when leaving the bathroom. We parked near the leisure centre and walked down but there is also another car park near the train station which is a flatter route tot he cottage. We loved it and would go back next time we are in Whitby.

Character of cottage was great.location very good for all attractions.Garden was really nice.

The only thing I can critise would be downstairs could have been cleaned more,socks .under chair,bits around floor edges,microwave not cleaned,food crumbs around kitchen tops,large cobwebs above single bed,, it would have made our stay even more special.

The garden area was an awesome touch! This place was really nice!

The place was mostly awesome!

I booked this for my family, including my disabled mother in law. What the listing does not say is that there are stairs to get to the cottage. Then, 3 bedrooms and the bathroom are on floor 1, bedroom 4 is on floor 2. The stairs to these floors are a narrow castle kind of stair. So this is not disabled friendly. I loved the stairs, but we ended up getting an additional flat for my mother in law.

Only 1 roll ot toilet paper, so bring some or find it right away.

The top floor was an oven. No fans were available. It was warm out and no wind. Bought a fan and it was better.

The Cragg Cottage is in an excellant location, we messaged ahead to confirm directions as the drop pin wasnt too clear, the directions we got from Host and stay took us to the opposite side of whitby, just as well we didnt listen!
The Cragg Cottage is nicely decorated, very clean and well stocked kitchen with utensils etc. All I would have preferred is that the clean spare lining wasnt dumped on the floor in the understair cupboard beside a dirty mop and hover, there was an iron and black out curtains... other than that fabulous stay, confortable cottage, beds, great location and a great holiday

Cragg Cottage is a quaint, perfectly situated cottage to explore Whitby. Less than a minute from the main harbour and amenities. Our host was very friendly and approachable at all times. Would highly recommend a stay.

It was a bad deal because:
No hot water
No heating
Stairway and hallways and kitchen too narrow for more than one person to get by.
Convection hob not working.
Supply of one roll of loo roll only (for a party of 5 staying for 5 nights).
When someone came to ‘fix’ the boiler, it was not fixed (the plumbing makes a VERY loud banging before if all shuts down again from use).

We had a wonderful stay in Whitby, the location was super central and it was great to still have a good sized secure garden for our dog. The house is full of historic charm with lovely original features.

An excellent property, right in the centre of Whitby yet very quiet.
There is no parking, but the Endeavour car park is a 5 minute walk away, large with plenty of parking and no need to navigate the smaller side streets and tighter car parks! Access is via a ginnel off the main road , and this could be added to the notes to make it easier for people who aren’t familiar with the quirks of Whitby to find.
The cottage is beautiful, has a large garden and my only complaint is that it was too hot - even after having reduced the main thermostat and turned the individual radiators off!

Great location, well presented and clean
Enclosed garden area

Steep spiral stairs
Low beams in 2nd floor bedroom
Low ceiling coming out of bathroom
Car parking shouldn’t be advertised as one of the facilities if it’s not provided on the property or adjacent to it - upto 10 minutes walk away

Cragg Cottage is homely and located in walking distance to Whitby's attractions. It has a large, charming garden. We stayed there for a week of survey work, and it offered a suitable base to update our results in the evening, discuss the day's events in the comfortable lounge and cook an evening meal.
We stayed with four people, and although it is possible to stay with six, I imagine that the space would be pretty crowded. The staircase and corridors are narrow, ceilings low and there is only one bathroom/toilet.
The car cannot be brought close to the house and you have to carry luggage for at least 5-10 minutes from the closest car park. If you want to prepare own meals, you need to bring everything, from salt to kitchen roll.
Altogether it was a lovely stay at Cragg Cottage, and you are right in the middle of the old town.

The staircase to the bedrooms are very steep but it is the character and oldness of the property

No on-site parking, as listed. The parking is free at most public car parks between Oct & March. (EV chargers not commissioned west Cliff or Chrurch Street car park Dec 2023). The accommodation, however, is perfect! saying that it was a shame not to have the fuel for a roaring fire, We spent most of our time in the kitchen area, which was much warmer. the beds are uber comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. Free WiFi was also a positive for the ten year old and pensioner stopping with us. A quirky cottage with winding hidden staircases. Doors on the stairs help with insulation. A huge bathtub with a standard and rain shower was a delightful way to freshen up. The cottage was all decked out, ready for Christmas, which was a lovely homely touch. A very short walk brings you out just down from the famous Magpie Cafe. where you can park to unload your car before stowing it at a public car park. Everything Whitby has to offer is in easy reach.

Lovely cottage in a really central location. Comfy beds, spotlessly clean and has everything you need. Good outside space too. Plenty of space inside to relax. Would star here again.

The location of the property is good as everything is in walking distance. The beds were comfy and the property was nice and warm. There is a nice garden to the side which offers seating. It is only accessible up several steps and as it’s behind the magpie cafe there is a strong smell of fish and chips/vinegar. The property has very steep spiral staircases and low door frames. The shower was very low and anyone above 5ft 5 would struggle to shower comfortably. There is a very large cleaning fee which was not worth it as there was dirt on all of the window ledges, the shower was dirty and there were hairs in the bath and sink. We pulled out a chopping board to use which still had dried on meat on it.

Good character cottage near the pier. Tucked in beside the cliff, not a history here. Obviously you’ll smell the chip fat from nearby restaurants . It’s so close to everything, house itself was nice, cosy and clean, with great amenities. Could improve it by having a bin storage a second loo and cleaning the garden table. Parking was even provided with tickets, but you can walk everywhere.

Beautiful place nestled in the heart of Whitby. It’s a charming cottage with so much character and great base for exploring all that Whitby has to offer
