  Fabulous cottage that has been done to an exceptionally high standard.

  The decor, colour, furnishings, lighting all as I would do myself. The extension to the back of the cottage for the kitchen is fabulous. The kitchen has everything you need. I bought things with me that I have needed in other rental cottages and didn't even unpack. The cleanliness is amazing. Who ever maintains the cottage has a very high cleaning standard. A lovely welcome pack was in the kitchen. Two en-suites were beautifully decorated with high end fixtures & fittings. The seating at the side and small courtyard at the back was a great addition. We loved the location. We have been visiting this area for years and adored how tucked away BlueFin is but actually right in the middle of everything. Parking can be tricky but we knew this beforehand but I always managed to park easily (& that was in July). And finally.......that view from the 2nd floor bedroom ! (I just wish the window was floor to ceiling so I could have enjoyed it more.) We will definitely be back and I would move in and live there in a a heartbeat.

  We had a great stay at Fair Holme and happily recommend it to anyone reading.

  The description's accurate, you'll be comfortable and have everything you need, but something it doesn't convey is how airy the house is - those high ceilings really add to an impression of space. If you're in a group, go and bagsie the room on the right at the top of the stairs straightaway. If you fail at that, think about showers when choosing between the other two rooms, because the shower in the middle room is pretty tight. There are a few comments about struggling to work the telly. It's fine, but it's digital-only and the controller does have an unusually small home button, just an outline on the top left of the group round the Ok one. It's also missing the plastic battery cover. We stuck a laggy band round it, if that's gone you'll need to keep the batteries in with your thumb. Watch out for the seal at the bottom of the shower gate in the utility room. We couldn't work out the trick to it, so ended up with a small mopping job after hosing down the (unappreciative) dog.

  We had a lovely few days staying in this property.

  We loved its close proximity to Runswick Bay and the Cleveland Way although it was so windy we didn’t explore as much as we could have! The property is very tastefully furnished with the added touch of Christmas decorations which was well appreciated. We found the beds and lounge very comfortable for the 4 of us. Parking was no problem in the space outside with our estate car. We liked the games selection although there was no game board in the Articulate box. As the owner says in the guest book- the hot water is extremely hot and I wonder whether mixer taps would be useful for safety? The kitchen was very cold. There was an overhead heater but no batteries in the control to turn it on but this is easily remedied. We had everything we needed for self catering in the kitchen. Overall we loved our stay and hopefully will be back again

  We booked this cottage 2 days before our holiday due to a last minute problem the cottage we had already booked.

  Feel like we really struck gold with Bluefin. Immaculate, very well furnished and appointed inside. Looks like we were the first to rent it out since a full refurb. Location is great, just off Flowergate and close to town but really quiet and private. Good outside space which the photos don’t do justice. Wifi was very slow so maybe bring a radio and an Ariel. There is a bit of a residual smoke smell from the downstairs fireplace but these are the only negatives with this place unless you’re against having a toilet in the living room. They have an iron, ironing board and maiden that aren’t listed. Everything you need and more in the kitchen. The view from the upstairs bedroom is amazing; you don’t even have to get out of bed to appreciate it. We will definitely be booking Bluefin again for our next trip to Whitby.

  We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

  Which was cosy and comfortable. For us however the lack of washing machine and dishwasher was a negative. As was only one toilet/bathroom. There was no welcome pack of basics (soap, washing up liquid, uht milk, coffee, tea etc.) We have always had these basics in other holiday cottages. I would imagine you are supposed to provide a small soap at sinks? It was almost like it had been forgotten. There was a label and socks in the front bedroom wardrobe so that clearly had not been thoroughly cleaned. Also nowhere near enough hangers in any of the rooms. The beds were small and not comfy, but this is something I need to check more closely another time. The location was ideal and we love Whitby so overall had a great holiday.
