  Fabulous little cottage, the pictures don’t do it justice, it’s so much nicer in reality.

  The room is so cosy, with a huge tv(bonus), kitchen had everything we needed, shame it didn’t have a freezer, even just a freezer box in fridge, but we did manage okay, especially when it’s right next to a fabulous little butcher’s. The bedroom was spacious, bed comfy, pillows too hard for me, perhaps give an option?. Lovely bathroom, if there’s a way to shower that would be good, like one of them hoop curtains?, we made do so not a major issue, just a little issue for people with back problems getting out of baths. The car park space was a real bonus, only a few minutes down the street as the streets filled up pretty quickly, just unload at side of butchers then park down the road, we did get neighbours looking, however lots of people doing it down this street all day. Ruswarp is a perfect location, only 30 minutes walk to Whitby via train track trail, perfect for our little cockapoo. If it’s available for our next holiday we will be back.

  Property was as described and very comfortable.

  Some Prosecco and other goodies left for us which was a nice touch. Depending on when you arrive/depart you’ll either need to unload in the butchers car park or if that’s closed, in the side road but it is quite busy so you need to be quick. Once we parked up we used the train to get to Whitby or we walked in along the path that runs alongside the railway line (takes about 30 mins). Road outside it quite busy but we soon got used to it so it was no problem. I did feedback to the owners that a privacy curtain would be useful on the back door as you have to pass it to get from the bathroom to upstairs. There is a curtain on the front door. A lovely cottage in a lovely setting and a really good alternative in price to actually staying in Whitby.

  Absolutely loved our stay and we have already looked to stay again but sadly its booked up on the dates we are free.

  Easy to park, across from a very nice and friendly village pub. Lovely little front terrace just enough space for us to sit have breakfast and our 2 spaniels to walk around. Very comfy sofa and bed. Nice touches in the bathroom like bubble bath and muscle soak, also milk, coffee, tea and biscuits provided. Iron, ironing board, hairdryer and well equipped kitchen. The only thing missing was a proper mop, there was a bucket but no mop, there was one of those mops you attach a floor wipe too which is no good on an bumpy slate floor especially with dogs. Enough drawers and space to hang clothes. Will stay again.

  Fantastic location for the Steps, the Abbey, the Brewery and local shops. All amenities catered for. Small beach nearby is ideal for letting your dog have a run around. Having parking included in the booking is also a great help, albeit across the bridge so you have to unpack at the cottage beforehand. For those who have not visited Whitby before, the cottage is located just off a cobbled road that in areas is only wide enough for one car therefore you may have to move your car if another comes along. I would definitely recommend this cottage for its quirkiness and location. Very cosy.

  What a lovely little cottage with lots of special features.

  It even has off road parking. The owners are very thoughtful, leaving every day items for your use eg: washing up liquid, loo rolls etc, as well as milk, tea and delicious chocolate cookies. Dogs are made very welcome with their own blankets to use and welcome treats. Its location is perfect for walking and trips to the coast and surrounding countryside. The Bridge Inn does excellent meals. 2 doors away is Jackson’s butcher that do breakfast rolls (egg & bacon etc), takeaway meals and a freshly cooked pork pie is a must.
