Guests say
Esk View cottage in Whitby is highly praised for its fantastic harbour views, excellent location close to town, and the rare benefit of off-road parking. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and spacious rooms. While some mention areas needing maintenance and improvements in cleanliness, most found the property welcoming and enjoyable. Thoughtful touches such as milk and biscuits on arrival were appreciated by several guests. The cottage is best suited for those with good mobility due to the steep walk into town.
Several guests found the property clean and well-kept, but a few reported issues such as cobwebs, peeling paint, and the need to clean certain areas themselves. Cleanliness appears generally acceptable but with some inconsistencies.
The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with stunning harbour views and close proximity to Whitby town centre. The added bonus of off-road parking is highly valued.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and a quiet environment. The cottage is well-suited for relaxation, though the steep walk may not suit everyone.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and offers good WiFi and parking. Some maintenance issues and tired décor are noted, but overall facilities meet guests' needs.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as milk and biscuits on arrival, though these gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

Super property for a stay in Whitby, large bedrooms and kitchen is well equipped, easy access to the town for those with good mobility, it’s a bit steep, cottage has the bonus of a parking space alongside. Would recommend this property highly.

We are very happy with this cottage as it was not the one we had paid for, but Karolina at Cottages.com managed to find this one still available for the days we booked at Whitby. I highly her and the company sorting this at very short notice, we both had a very nice time looking around the area, the cottage was idea as it had a parking space for a car, the cottage was clean and had everything you would need in the kitchen to feed a family of 6, also the view over the harbour was stunning at night and also very quiet. would recommend this cottage to anyone that wanted to visit Whitby and the surrounding as we did.All the bestPhil & Paula Pavica
