Guests say
Newton Cottage in Whitby is highly praised for its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and prime location with easy access to local amenities and scenic walks. Guests appreciate the proximity to a friendly pub, a shop, and transport links. While parking can be challenging, the cottage's charm and the surrounding area's beauty make for a delightful stay.
Guests consistently note the cottage's spotless condition, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The cottage's location is celebrated for its convenience to a pub, shop, and bus stop, as well as its walking distance to Robin Hood's Bay, making it an ideal spot for exploring.
Reviews highlight the comfortable bedding and overall cosy feel of the cottage, though a few guests mention low beams and a low shower door as minor discomforts.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped property and luxury touches. However, some guests suggest the back courtyard could benefit from maintenance.
While guests appreciate the provision of tea, coffee, and milk, there is insufficient information to determine if these are consistent gestures of thoughtfulness or a one-off occurrence, thus the score is set to null.

Resting within a stone's throw of the delightful fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay is the sweet village of Fylingthorpe. Lying inland from the coast following a steep winding road, this settlement was most likely of Scandinavian origin from the 9th century, and is today a bustling village scattered with quaint cottages and several amenities. Pick up some fresh loaves from the little bakery Barnard's or stock up on some essentials from the local shop, Thorpe Stores. The Fylingdales Inn offers a welcoming place to sip a pint after a busy day of walking the North Yorkshire coast, while a wider selection of pubs and bars can be found in the neighbouring village of Robin Hood's Bay, with some even providing a picturesque sea view. From here hop onto the Cleveland Way when you are beginning to explore and walk up to the wonderful Whitby town centre, where a host of delights await you; visit the eerie Whitby Abbey, said to have inspired Bram Stoker when he wrote Dracula, and then walk down the 199 Steps towards the beach. Enjoy wandering around Whitby Museum, take a Whitby Storyteller Guided Walk, or go to The Endeavour Experience to learn about how sailing was years ago. Fylingthorpe makes for a wonderful base to discover the host of attractions of North Yorkshire.

The property was warm and comfortable and good for 2 people (+ our small dog). Thereâs a pub opposite and a local store too which was handy. Parking is on the road which worked out fine for us but it was quite full occasionally. We always managed to get a spot directly outside near the bus stop, Itâs a great location for visiting Robin Hoods Bay(15-20min walk) Whitby and the surrounding area. If you donât want to drive then the bus is a good option with the bus stop virtually on the doorstep. £4 each (as of Oct 2024) gets you right into the centre of Whitby and back. It also runs past other coastal attractions both north and south.
