What our customers say about their holidays

  I found the cottage reasonably clean and comfortable.

  Lack of a shower wasn't too much of a problem as I used the hand held shower over the bath but as mentioned by others it was difficult to get a constant water temperature. The availability of parking spaces on nearby streets was a concern but I did manage to get a 'space' most days on Allison Lane, glad I have a small car. Some intrusive noise from the nearest pub (2 dozen steps or so from door to door) on weekend evenings for a while but the worse noise was my last night, on the Friday. Live music in the pub was incredibly loud, went on until midnight, then customers stood outside for another hour chatting and laughing. Had to have the bedroom window open as the weather was hot this week. However they did finally decide to go home and I got some sleep eventually! This aspect of the cottage location would really put me off booking it again, unfortunately. My sister joined me later in the week and we ate out at the Rose and Crown pub where we had a fantastic meal (their fish pie is delicious) very reasonably priced, and also at The Seabirds Restaurant, another good meal there. However, the cottage is a good base from which to explore the surrounding area and for nearby cliff walks. My favourite was to park at Thornwick Bay and walk north to the RSPB reserve at Bempton cliffs. The views were stunning all the way and the photographic opportunities of the seabirds at Bempton amazing.

  I'm not a fussy person with high expectations but elements of this house were really not good enough.

  The house has a musty smell which I can accept, but the chair infront of the tv has aclearly visible stain on the cushion going right through to the other sidfe that smells unmistakeably of stale urine. The kettle is unuseable due to the amount of scale - we got fed up of picking it out of our mouths , and so we decided to boil a pan for hot water, only to find that the pan had bits of old onion stuck to the sides. Similarly cutlery had bits of old food crust on, and we found an old best before september meat packet in the cupboard under the sink. I can accept a few cobwebs but there are far too many to feel like anybody cares about this house. I am a regular user of holiday cattages, not all perfect, but this is the first time I've ever felt I had to give a negative review. The lack of cleanliness can be put down to lack of care, but the kettle and above all the armchair are a disgrace.

  A resounding success for many reasons.

  We were lucky to have pretty good weather overall, against the grain of the forecast which helps! A nice, clean and tidy, upside down cottage with some old fittings remaining, adding to the charm. All expected items were there, but the bonu or the summer heat is that, with the Granary partly submerged into terra firma, the north-facing bedrooms were nice and cool. Wetwang is perfectly placed for all points around the area. Beverley to Scarborough to Pickering to York are all in easy reach. Nearby Driffield has everything you need, including cheapest petrol around,but mainly plenty of places to eat. Plenty of cafes around and about so no-one ever goes hungry. Wetwang even has a small fish and chip place. If just relaxing, the views across the fields from the cottage to the North are lovely and there are paths to walk. What's not to like?

  The apartment was excellent. It was very well equipped, tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. Jenny contacted me by text on the day of our arrival to let me know that the apartment was ready. She had thoughtfully provided basic supplies of tea, coffee, milk,cake etc along with a bottle of wine, together with a welcome note which provided us with contact details in case of problems. My grandson particularly appreciated the Easter egg! The property is very well placed, being only a 5 minute walk into town with good access to walks, beach and shops. The designated parking was a particular bonus for us, especially as it was Goth weekend and Whitby was busier than usual. We would love to stay in Jenny's apartment again in the near future. Thankyou.

  Harbour Rise is a fantastic place to stay in Whitby. The property is absolutely spotless and beautifully presented. Plenty of space to relax in too. Nice, powerful shower amd quality kitchen crockery and utensils. Jenny couldn’t have been more helpful in making our stay a pleasant one, from leaving a lovely welcome gift basket to ensuring we had all everything we needed for staying with an infant too. She was great at keeping us informed about how to check in and, although we didn’t need to, was always just a message or call away if we needed anything. The town centre is a very short stroll away and having secure parking was a huge benefit for us. Would not hesitate to recommend to others. We had a lovely stay and we’re sure you will too!
