  This is my 4th stay in laurel cottage but with a different group of friends.

  They loved it every bit as much as I do. We were all shocked by a recent 2 star review stating some of the party couldn’t stay! Definitely not our view or experience of this gorgeous property… If you’re thinking of booking laurel cottage, you won’t regret it. Laurel cottage is perfectly placed in a quiet part of Whitby but only 5 minutes from the famous whale bones and town. It’s so peaceful in the cottage. It manages to do the impossible - make a big spacious house feel so cosy. It’s so easy to relax in. Comfortable beds, sofas, 2 lovely open fires to light. Very well equipped with everything you need. Especially good for a mixed group of friends as so spacious with 2 separate lounges, big dining table and well stocked kitchen. Parking space is a real bonus in Whitby. Can highly recommend laurel house. Thank you for another lovely week - hope to return.

  We were disappointed when we arrived as the outside isn’t very well kept and in need of repainting.

  When entering the property the first thing that hits you is the smell it’s awful, damp foisty smell. It didn’t feel nice at all and the smell was through the house . Our two other guests refused to stay and drove home. The parking is only suitable for a very small car which was very difficult for us as we have a large one and there is no other parking for the other guests. No outdoor space so not suitable for pets. The quality of the pillows and overall bedding very poor for the price of £400 plus a night? The only good thing I can say is it is very central. I had to leave the windows open to air the place but had to have the curtains shut as there is no privacy at all . I would suggest putting blinds up at the windows .very disappointed as the photos make it look very nice and that isn’t what you get when you arrive.

  We stayed at Thornwick Cottage for the Staithes Arts Festival - great central position in the village. Very spacious, and had everything we required. Made good use of the log burner, although not cold in the cottage, it was a lovely treat for the evenings - appreciated the logs left in the basket for us to start with. Staithes is absolutely lovely- loads of history- everyone so friendly and helpful. Fantastic coastal walks on your doorstep. The harbour is great place to be around. Staithes has good links to the local bus service, so you do not need to use the car. Our stay allowed us to get away from the noisy rush of everyday life and just enjoy Yorkshire.

  A Lovely welcome note and Christmas present under the Christmas tree on arrival.

  Didn’t meet John and Kate but it was very reassuring I could contact them directly by mobile if needed and not have to go through other parties. The house was warm and clean on arrival and had everything you need for a brake away any time of the year. Home from home. Dog friendly for well behaved/house trained dog. Two friendly seagulls always sat on fence. Nice decking area to sit out on with enclosed fence and patio area. Outdoor Waste bins in a good location and parking. 10mins walk from the beach 10mins drive to get to shops and town centre John and Kate are blessed to have a lovely holiday home .

  The property is in a great location.

  The facilities are great, everything you need and more! The cottage was very clean and the decor, soft furnishings, bedding etc were all of a high standard. The only thing we were disappointed with was the size of the kitchen. The large table & chairs (big enough to seat 8 people) takes up too much space, especially when you've got several people moving around in the kitchen. It would be better if the table & chairs were moved to the large spacious living room in my opinion. Apart from that we couldn't fault anything else and would recommend the property for people looking to explore the Whitby area.
