What a gorgeous cottage tucked away in the centre of Whitby. Perfect location, lovely and cosy inside and the hosts were extremely helpful when we called needing help finding the property. Will stay again

We had an absolutely lovely time at Candyfloss cottage. Such a beautiful little fisherman’s cottage which is filled with lots of curiosities and unique decor. It is a little tricky to find, but we loved how it was hidden away down a quaint little back alley. You are literally 30 seconds walk from the harbour and all of the amenities and 1 minute away from the beach. The house has a steep winding staircase as it’s an old cottage, so someone of limited mobility would struggle. However, I liked them as it helped me to achieve my daily step count. The kitchen had everything that we needed and it even has a washing machine which is helpful when you are on a longer stay. Charlie from Host and Stay was super helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back.

So disappointed, the house was dirty. There is no mention/ images of access to the building itself regarding elderly or disabled, my Nan is 84 and listing should state access to the property is not by road and involves steps. Asked about early check in, was told strictly 4 which is understandable if on arrival was clean but it wasn’t, no offer for us to drop bags off and had to park miles away. The place smelt fusty and was covered in dust, cobwebs, dead and alive spiders, toothpaste in bathroom, toilet was dirty, mould in the shower and on the show unit itself. Lovely feature to have a jacuzzi bath but it wasn’t clean enough to want to use it. The sink wouldn’t drain and when we took the plug out to see the hair and gunk was just disgusting, Someone before us had ever written the word dirty in the glass shade. No washing up liquid and 1 toilet roll between 4 for 3 days is poor. Everywhere I looked was just dirt and it honestly ruined the trip, we travelled a total of 6 hours.

The cottage was delightful, clean and tidy, and only a one minute from the main street. Also just a few minutes walk to the beach. The facilities suited us. The only problem we had was finding it. It's within a multitude of back alleys and lanes with poor signage. Using one of the car parks is essential if you don't have a permit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay
