  The cottage itself is beautiful and very nicely located. It is about half an hour walk to Whitby (choosing the flatter walk alongside the train track) or longer if you tackle the hills over Ruswerp fields. There is a local pub and butchers that sell high quality food along the high street and we were very impressed with the services. We were disappointed that there was an electrical fault whilst we were staying in the property that left us without access to the washing machine, dishwasher and half the plugs in the kitchen. We rang the numbers in the brochure but it took two days for someone to come out and sort things. In the meantime, it left us apprehensive about using appliances in case of further power cuts or worse. The brochure in the cottage does have useful information in. However, the farmers market advertised is for Whitby in Canada! It’s a good job we used google. Whilst the property states is it pet friendly and is, the property also states it has an enclosed garden. The garden is not enclosed and a dog could easily get out and onto a main (very busy) road. With all this is mind, we would still stay at the property again and would recommend it to others. I would advise anyone with dogs to take them out on a lead at all times and do your own research about the local area (the pub has lots of brochures)

  Firstly, the cottage was really lovely.

  It was very comfortable, furnished to a very high standard, was well equipped, and the owners very pleasant and helpful. However, the cottage was not in a tranquil position in the countryside as the description suggests. From the back door you can see a bit of countryside beyond the bank, but certainly not from the front. There is a large pub a few paces directly in front of the cottage with car parking and a sitting out area, a static caravan site to the right, a touring caravan site to the left, and a ‘through’ road passing directly outside the cottage to facilitate all the above , and also to the A171. In addition to this there is a bed and breakfast, and a ‘jet’ garage on site near the pub. The garden was not enclosed which was not stated either. If you like to be on top of a pub, in a busy area, this location is for you. I must reiterate again, that I have no complaints about the cottage, or the owners, just the very misleading information. I have photographic evidence to prove my point.

  Super base for exploring Whitby, Scarborough, bits in between and the moors.

  Though we had autumnal weather in June, we found plenty to do out and about. The cottage was toasty warm (see below for a cautionary tale though) and the winter-weight duvet appreciated. We were disappointed there was no tumble dryer as this was a) needed and b) on the Sykes listing. Otherwise, everything was as described and we were very happy with the accommodation. The cautionary tale? We chose to crate our two dogs overnight and popped the crate against a wall to keep it out of the way. Unfortunately, this happened to be the hottest part of the underfloor heating and though no harm was done the dogs were definitely too warm. The heating does not appear to affect the centre of the lounge area, so placing the crate between sofa and kitchen worked fine.

  Beautiful little cottage in the heart of the town.

  The owners should be very proud! We were worried it would be a little cramped but the use of the limited space is excellent. Lovely and clean throughout, and the information pack had everything we needed for our week's stay. Parking was another concern but it was really easy to use the visitor permits and we had no issues at all - one tip for the owners though, it may be helpful to print a small map highlighting the roads with visitor parking. Also, we had an unexpected issue with one of the radiators - the 'Maid in Whitby' lady who maintains the property was great, she had a plumber sent round in no time and the issue was sorted really quickly. We can't wait to visit Whitby again and would definitely consider booking April Cottage next time.

  A small 1 bedroom cosy cottage, that welcomed our fur babies, in the town of Whitby.

  We did not have a garden, but literally just a few steps outside our door, was a wonderful seating area, with plants and flowers, and an acknowledgement of Alice in Wonderland. The view, from the seating area, looking down on us, was of the church and the ruins of the Abbey. We sat here in the evenings with a glass of wine, it was so peaceful. The town of Whitby is bustling with people and some lovely shops selling an array of gifts, crafts, antiques and clothing. The harbour is full of bars, restaurants and places to rest and relax and of course beautiful beaches I'd recommend this cottage for one or two people, (and four legged friends)who just want a simple break away from the stress of working life
