Navigators Rest is a well-received cottage in Whitby, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere, well-maintained interiors, and the views over the harbour. While some mention challenges with steps and parking, the property's charm and the owners' hospitality shine through, making it a recommended stay.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well maintained, with only minor concerns about rubbish disposal outside, which seems to be a council issue rather than the property's cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its views and proximity to local attractions. However, some guests noted the number of steps and potential difficulty for those with mobility issues.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a homely feel and a particularly comfy bed. The presence of a courtyard and the property being dog-friendly add to the comfort level.
Facilities are generally good, but there are mentions of maintenance issues like a loose hob knob and a non-working key. No mention of gifts, so the thoughtfulness score is set to null.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the owners, so it is not possible to assess this category.
