Guests say
Coachman's House in Whitby receives high praise for its central yet peaceful location, immaculate cleanliness, and cosy, well-equipped interiors. Guests consistently mention the comfort of the beds and the thoughtful design of the cottage. The property is ideal for exploring Whitby's attractions, with shops, pubs, and cafes on the doorstep. While parking can be challenging and the stairs are steep, these are minor drawbacks compared to the overall positive experience. The cottage is especially appreciated for its quietness, even during busy weekends, and the warm welcome from the owners.
Cleanliness is repeatedly highlighted, with guests describing the cottage as very clean, immaculate, and well maintained. Even guests with allergies noted no trace of pets, indicating a high standard of cleaning.
The location is universally praised for being central to Whitby's attractions, yet quiet and tucked away. The only negative mentioned is the difficulty with parking, which is common in central Whitby.
Guests found the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with special mention of the beds and bedding. The only minor issues noted were creaky floorboards and steep stairs, which may not suit everyone.
The cottage is described as very well equipped, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Some guests mentioned excellent equipment and a modern bathroom. The only negative was low water pressure in the shower.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack and the owners' helpfulness. However, as gifts like welcome packs are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect them as standard.

Lovely cottage with everything you might need. Great location in terms of local attractions, but parking is an issue.

A neat, clean and well equipped cottage in the centre of Whitby. It was very quiet despite being a busy weekend and near a pub. Owners were lovely. The cottage is spread over 3 levels with steep stairs which may may not suit everyone.

We had a marvellous holiday in Whitby, enhanced by the comfort and warmth of the Coachman's House. The location at the back of a 'yard' was perfect for all amenities and the Black Horse pub at the start of the yard deserves special mention, good beers and cocktails with exceptional food choices, the beef and blue was to die for! The cottage was very well equipped, very clean and very well designed and decorated. It was warm and cosy with all that you would need for a stay. We would be very happy to return to Whitby and to the the Coachman's House.
