Guests say
Mews Cottage in Whitby is highly praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the modern amenities, including Netflix and powerful showers, as well as the convenience of on-site parking. The property is spacious and well-equipped, making it ideal for both families and larger groups. While the decor may not suit all tastes, the overall experience is exceptional, with special commendation for the housekeeping team.
Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'immaculate' and 'spotlessly clean', indicating a high standard maintained by the housekeeping team.
The cottage's location is frequently highlighted as a major plus, with its proximity to Whitby's bars, cafes, shops, and harbour, as well as the benefit of private off-road parking.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the property cozy and spacious. However, a suggestion for a non-feather duvet option due to allergies indicates a minor area for improvement.
Facilities are generally praised, including the presence of a dishwasher, blackout shutters, and pleasant soap. However, the absence of salt and pepper, and a recommendation for an additional shower for disabled access, suggest room for enhancement.
While guests are pleased with the overall experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

Great location within easy reach of all Whitby has to offer. 2 parking spaces is a great bonus. We found the cottage quiet despite its town location. Had everything we needed. Already booked again for next year.

What a little gem Mews Cottage is, having stayed in a few Whitby cottages this is our favourite. Great free parking right outside, only a short walk to numerous Whitbys bars, cafes and shops , loved the decor and very clean and tidy and a modern ensuite/family bathroom with powerful hot showers a nice bath if you love a soak after exploring all day, with the added benefit of Netflix if the kids dont wanna go out a night, The downstairs single room is little small but as a family of 4 we didnt use it. we would definitely stay here again, Five Stars *****
