  The cottage was absolutely perfect.

  In the centre of Whitby so within walking distance to all the attractions, very close to shops, and a 4 minute walk from a long stay car park. The cottage itself was clean, excellent facilities and had all amenities you could ask for. There were 4 adults and 2 dogs, and the cottage fit us all in fine. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were clean and kitchen had all the appliances you could need. I would highly recommend this cottage to anybody! Only negative-Was a little hard to find the property so maybe be more specific on the exactly how to find it, but the people of Baxergate street did help us eventually :) also, the hoover that was provided was not the best at cleaning up due to hair in the actual vacuum head and the filter, so they might need to be changed (only giving this feedback so the people who occupy the property next will be able to clean up a little better than we could before they leave, although we did use the dustpan and brush instead). Otherwise it was absolutely perfect :)

  Good location within 10 mins walk into main town/attraction area.

  Free street parking right outside and the streets nearby, if there are any spaces. We did find a space, so we had no problem. The property itself was generally good and spacious. The kitchen had a huge dining table with all the necessary cutlery, cups and plates. However, there were a few negative things. We couldn't figure out how to control the heating. We went when it was really warm and the radiators were still heating up. One side of the toaster started smoking, so it should be replaced. The washing machine didn't have drying function, so wouldn't be useful unless you were staying there for like a week. The bathroom skylight window was right above the toilet and had no blinds. It is on the top floor and maybe no one can see, but still felt weird and exposed at night time with the light on. There were 2 huge TV's in the top bedroom and the sitting room downstairs, and both did not receive any channels so they were useless. Only the little TV in the kitchen worked with a few channels.

  We had a nice stay at the cottage, however we had some issues in that no soap, tea bags, oven trays, or milk were provided.

  On its own this would not have been an issue but when reading the reviews of other guests we saw that some had Scones, bottles of wine, chocolates etc... It just made us feel a bit dejected. We had to buy these basics which was difficult after a 3 hour drive to a remote location, and added another hour before we were able to relax. When we messaged the property owner to make them aware for future guests we were offered compensation for the things we had to buy, which we accepted, and we were told this would be posted via the letterbox during our stay. We never received this however. In future we would recommend the property owner adds to their listing that these things are not provided, or even spend the extra £2-3 to make a guests stay a little nicer. We would also recommend a more thorough clean before guests arrive, as we had to spend a bit of our first day cleaning cobwebs and clearing out the fireplace.

  Lovely quiet hamlet location only 4 miles from Sandsend beach, gorgeous little cottage, tiny bedrooms but fine for couple with 2 small children.

  Would be good if twin beds could become double bed to house second couple, or in my case a singleton used to a double bed! Great to have 2 bathrooms. Lots of safe garden to play in, and friendly donkey and horse to visit close by. Very well equipped cottage except for lack of advertised washing machine!! Essential for family with beach loving or muddy walks children.. and it is listed in the info pack but has magically become a dishwasher. . Also a "home from home" should have soap in the basins, washing up brush, scourers, kitchen scissors really...and the "wealth of books" was missing. Communication with owner impossible and inbox full, and information pack in house needs updating. However! Plenty of wood and coal for open fire, and a BBQ hiding in shed, but it would have been helpful to know what not to bring! Two calls to Sykes did not resolve. Would def book again now we know what we're doing.

  We had a most enjoyable and relaxing fortnight at Holly Cottage.

  Kate was the perfect host, unobtrusive yet readily contactable. The cottage was ample for four adults, with a great open plan kitchen / diner, and was very well equipped - a washing machine rather than a dishwasher would have been our only wish. The three secure gardens and paddock completely surrounding the house gave ample space and shade for dog and human relaxation on hot days, while the sizeable porch made for easy canine comings and goings in wet weather. West Barnby is a lovely calm setting, away from the bustle of the tourist hotspots yet within easy access of coast, moor and forest - next to no passing traffic during the day and only the moos of the cows at night. We found great walks from the door along the permissive paths of the Mulgrave Estate, which we had to ourselves, and Kettleness is only a five minute drive away for stunning walks along the cliff tops or derelict railway track.
