Had a fantastic time at The Hidden Gem. A super house, ideal for a stay in Whitby, in a fantastic location. The welcome pack certainly made us feel welcome, and there was everything we could want in the house.

Brilliant little cottage with great locality and views. Fantastic thoughtful touches left by owner Helen for furry friend (treats) as well as ourselves(Prosecco and a welcome package with lots of goodies including neccesties like bread, butter and milk. It’s like a home from home with everything you could possibly need. 5 minute walk to beach and 10 seconds to a lovely little micro pub with two more up the street. It was lovely and quiet in the cottage even though it was just off a shopping street. I would defiantly stay here again if there’s a vacancy because I keep telling all my friends about this “Hidden Gem”
