New Year Breaks In Whitby

  We had a great stay at Ellerby lane house.

  The positives were great location, lovely decor, very homely. The cleanliness was very good. The negatives were the beds were very hard so quite uncomfortable, there was no mirrors in the bedrooms so doing make up was a bit of a struggle. The property capacity is for 7 people but there wasn’t 7 plates or 7 sets of cutlery as we were there for Christmas and was cooking Christmas dinner in the property we had to go and buy some as there was no contact number provided for the owners for if we needed anything. There is also no parking at the property which isn’t uncommon for Whitby but I think it should be listed on the listing as it wasn’t easy unloading our stuff parked on double yellows on the side street and we wasn’t given any instructions prior, I had to call Sykes cottages to contact the owners to see where we could unload. It was also a little noisy at night time if you were trying to sleep and could hear people heading back from the pub, again not a major issue but the location is very central so could be a little noisy if you plan on taking babies etc. The toilet seat was also broken in the main bathroom and some of the blinds were broken so couldn’t be opened. There is also no exterior bins for the property so as you can imagine being Christmas we had a lot of rubbish which we had to bag up and pile up near the entrance of the property for it to be collected by the owners. Besides all that it is a lovely place to stay, very cosy and the location really is perfect for exploring Whitby.

  A beautiful gem of a property right in the heart of Whitby with gorgeous views on all levels overlooking the harbour and Abbey. Close proximity to the town and amenities, but still peaceful and calm. Plenty of homely additions to settle in whilst staying, as well as secure outdoor space that also makes the most of the beautiful view. Clear instructions and guides on how to get round and make the most of Whitby and the surrounding area, and overall very clean and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and book again if coming back to the area. However, it's best to be clear that some with accessibility issues may struggle with some aspects of this property/location. The parking may be tricky, there is a long stay car park just a few short minutes walk up a steep hill/stairs that costs just under £10 for 24 hours. The house is also over three levels with very steep stairs.

  Fantastic central property with a very home from home feel about it. Very spacious compared to others we have stayed in and really appreciated the lovely garden retreat at the back. Should be a 5 star Property! Whitby has it all and is our favourite seaside destination in Britain - Great shops the pavilion for entertainment buses to other lovely destinations such as Robins Hood Bay Staithes Eden Camp the moors. Loved the steam train journey to Pickering. Fantastic pubs and restaurants and would like to recommend the Duke of York and the Fisherman's Wife in particular. Can't rate Whitby or Yorkshire highly enough. We will be back next year. Friendly helpful knowledgeable staff.

  Lovely place.

  Fab location. Whitby parking isn’t the best but always a way round things I guess!! Stylish yet cosy cottage, very clean. Loved it and would definitely return. Could maybe do with a stair gate to keep doggies from going up there. Mine is used to going upstairs so I had to use a piece of wood I found in the under stairs cupboard to block off the stairs to prevent him making himself too at home!! Also bit of a lack of mirrors in the bedrooms but that’s just a small gripe. I struggled with the heating so made do with the gas fire as it turned chilly of an evening. Maybe I’m just a bit dim though ha!! Thank you for a lovely stay. Thoroughly enjoyed it :)

  The property was clean & comfortable with a nice home from home feel.

  We did a mix of eating in & out as our stay was based upon attending a wedding on the Saturday near by, but we had to buy some cleaning cloths as there wasn't any under the sink?, despite having a dishwasher we still needed to wash a few things & needed to wipe the surfaces down, also could do with a cheese grater & pint glasses but that's personal preference i guess. The heating didn't kick in on arrival & who to contact in this situation wasn't overly clear in the instructions manual, however managed to eventually contact the right person & it was dealt with that same evening. Over all an enjoyable & comfortable stay in lovely Whitby!. Thankyou
