Guests say
The Wheel House in Whitby is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the modern amenities, dog-friendly touches, and the proximity to local attractions. The enclosed garden and on-site dog field are particularly well-received. Some guests suggest minor improvements for perfection, but the overall sentiment is one of satisfaction and a desire to return.
Guests consistently commend the property for its spotless condition, with several reviews highlighting the exceptional cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The property's location is appreciated for its tranquillity and convenience, being close to Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, and local attractions. The proximity to walking routes and the peaceful setting contribute to its high rating.
The cottage is praised for its comfortable beds and cosy atmosphere. Some guests suggest additional home comforts and storage solutions could enhance the experience, but overall, the property is regarded as relaxing and inviting.
Facilities such as the modern kitchen, waterfall shower, and enclosed garden are well-received. However, some guests note the absence of a wood-burner, washing machine, and additional kitchen equipment. The driveway condition is also mentioned as an area for improvement.
While many guests mention thoughtful touches like dog treats and toys for children, there is inconsistency in the provision of welcome gifts, and as such, they are not guaranteed. The absence of a consistent welcome pack for guests and their pets prevents a score in this category.

Perfect accommodation, would definitely return, no stairs which was perfect with my 2 year old Grandson. Enclosed garden for our dogs, very homely, Really appreciated the owner popping to ensure we knew how to operate hob and oven.

The Wheelhouse is perfect in every way. The property was pristinely clean and decorated beautifully, a comfy travel cot was set up for our 1 year old on arrival and contact with the owners was straightforward and quick. The house is a perfect base for exploring Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay and provides a very quiet, private escape. I couldn’t recommend this house more highly and we hope to come back again one day. Thank you Keith and Claire!

One little thing wrong the bedroom doors didn’t close properly so my pup thought it was a free Pass to jump on the bed - which she doesn’t do at home. But apart from that my stay was perfect spotlessly clean
