  Just on our way back home from a fantastic holiday…a week staying in Fawcet House in Whitby.

  I originally booked it for 3 adults and 2 children, however, grandma dropped out of the trip. Even if she had come with us, the cottage would have been more than spacious for us all. A lovely living, dining, cooking space greets you on the top floor, with an amazing view of the church and abbey and surrounding buildings. It is well-equipped (kitchen particularly!) and very comfortable and spotlessly clean. All three bedrooms are nicely furnished with really comfortable beds. We all had a great night’s sleep every night. The location is really convenient…very close to the river and access to all the attractions without being so close you’re bothered by any noise. There’s a Poundland within 50 yards which was really useful for little bits we’d forgotten. It’s worth being well aware of the two flights of stairs you need to negotiate within the cottage. Not a problem at all for us, but could be an issue if you have mobility issues. It is also about an 8-10 minute walk from the car park (the paid-for permit is brilliant), which again, wasn’t a problem for us but important to know. We had only a couple of trips out in the car anyway…York and Staithes, both were brilliant days out. Highly recommend Fawcet House!!

  We stayed at Fawcet House in Feb 23 as a family of 4 with a dog.

  This was one of our best holiday apartments and we’ve stayed in quite a few over the years! Communication with the owner prior and on arrival was great. The place was spotless and had everything we needed to have a very comfortable self catering stay right in the middle of Whitby. Unloading the car outside the property was easy and parking not an issue in the west cliff car park less than 10 mins stroll. Noise from the street was not an issue as the apartment feels nice and tucked away even though there are a few pubs close by. Even the sea gulls were inaudible through the double glazing meaning a peaceful and relaxing stay and I’m a light sleeper! Smart TV was bang up to date and the sound bar and sub were a nice addition when we fancied a night in with a film. The location also meant our teenage kids could pop out on their own and visit the various coffee/cake shops that Whitby has to offer without mum and dad which gave them some independence. All in all we loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back again.

  Snowdrop Cottage had everything you needed for a great stay.

  The cottage was spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. As somebody who has to have a dark bedroom, the shutters on the windows were a bonus as this made the room dark and relaxing ready for a good nights sleep. The beds were comfortable and even get a choice of pillows. The extra touches that Christine & Steven had thought off, ie plenty of tea towels, condiments, washing up liquid to name a few, were very appreciated as these are things you either bring or have to buy. Christine's communication was excellent, with a great knowledge of the area. The weather for our stay was not great, so we did not get to do any of the walks from the cottage, and also missed out on some other suggestions, so we are looking to come back next year.

  We had a lovely stay in this cottage with our two little dachshunds from 22 to 29 September 23.

  It is well appointed and met all our needs. In a quiet location yet in easy reach of all amenities. A real gem.. We looked forward to returning to the cottage after our days out as it is really comfortable and cosy. Similarly we were able to hunker down when the weather was inclement. Fortunately the weather was largely kind and we were able to go out and about. The location afforded us easy access to the coast. We had enjoyable trips to Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. These are traditional resorts, maybe not on trend these days, but we love them. We also had some enjoyable drives inland off the beaten track. Lovely dog walks were had from the cottage door. Marvellous times and we are already planning our return . Highly recommended.

  Lovely cottage in a really central location in Whitby.

  The cottage is very well furnished and decorated, all facilities you could want are provided, we really enjoyed our short stay and would definitely consider a return visit. Excellent location for Whitby and the surrounding area, we enjoyed a lot of cliff top and beach walks. The only thing that could be improved would be the directions to the cottage, it was easy to find the street, but the details of where the gates to the cottage are could be clearer, there is no mention either of the coffee shop which is in effect the first floor of the property. It was closed when we visited, but could perhaps be noisy if open. That said, it is a wonderful cottage and one that we would visit again very happily.
