What our customers say about their holidays

  Property was as described and well presented when we arrived.

  The photo of the front of the outside makes it look on a steep road, it’s hilly but not too bad until you walk to the local Pub/Railway station, now that is very steep. We walked it a few times and as long as you have decent walking shoes on and don’t have mobility problems you should be ok. One of the neighbours approached me within 5 mins of arriving because I was parked on their side of the road about to unload, They said I was blocking access, which to be fair I was, but there were no road markings or signs advising and in the dark in a strange place it wasn’t immediately obvious. She didn’t seem happy when I said I would unload before moving, but we had driven for 3 hours and wasn’t going to be bullied a local who is obviously hacked off when people park outside her house. We ended up having to park further back up the street which was no problem in the end. The rooms were nice especially the conservatory which was a lovely place to chill in the afternoon as it went dark. Staff at the pub were nice and friendly and do food Wed - Sun. Only one slight negative - though I’m a bit conflicted about it. There is a gas/electricity usage monitor in the kitchen, which on the one hand is a good idea to see what you are using, but I felt it puts a bit of undue pressure on visitors to be aware of how much the power has cost that day/week. Definitely worth staying at, train takes about 30 mins into Whitby and there are lots of quality pub/restaurants in the area, which you would probably need to drive to, and if you have bright sunny weather (though chilly) like we had, you will have a lovely time (you’ll still enjoy it even if you don’t have decent weather). I would have fed back so of the more negative issues directly to the owner but there were no contact details so had to put them on here instead.

  We have stayed in this cottage, and the one next door many Timex now and would not hesitate to return.

  We do however have a couple of comments to make. While the cottage is thankfully pet friendly, the outdoor space is not. The seating area at the rear is very open, there is a public footpath running along the length of the seating area, which is not a problem, but if the seating area, of both properties was fenced off, not blocked, but a physical barrier, doesn't need to be very high, then you could be out there and let your pet be untethered. We think that the outside seating is important due to there being very little natural light in the living room. The second point would be the bedroom. It is very comfortable, but would benefit from better blinds on the door and window. At this time of year it gets light very early and so does the bedroom, better blinds would be beneficial.

  We had a great stay in Hart Cottage.

  It was homely, warm and had everything you could possibly need. Beautifully furnished and stylishly decorated, it had a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the comfy chair too. There was a cupboard on the landing which had extra bedding, just in case. The fire was great, we loved it and so did the dogs. We loved feeding and watching the birds in the front garden and we kept filling the feeder up. The kitchen was super and easy to cook in. There were lots of special touches like the welcome pack with eggs, cake, milk etc, the nuts to feed the birds and the toiletries in the bathroom. I would highly recommend.

  Toilet seat needs replacing.

  Carpet sweeper huge beast of a thing I struggled to use, no way I could get it upstairs. Couldn’t find the fire guard. A stair gate would have been really useful . Loved the cottage, only downside was downstairs bathroom and very steep twisted stairs, my fisherman husband didn’t read the description properly, if he had we wouldn’t have come, we are in our late 70’s! That would have been a pity as it is lovely, in a beautiful area, with very convenient pub nearly next door. All very dog friendly, central location for walking, fishing and steam trains, lovely local people wherever we went. Recommend for fit and slim.

  Lovely cosy cottage in great location for walks and short distance from Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough.

  We have two dogs that thoroughly enjoyed the beaches especially Sand Ends to Whitby. We can highly recommend the very friendly Arncliffe Arms (run by Tony and Yvonne) which is about 6 doors away from Hart cottage for their Sunday roasts. I celebrated my 61st birthday in this pub and their very talented chef baked a birthday cake (coffee walnut - my favourite!) that my partner Carol had requested which they wouldn't take any payment for. Considering the time of year we had great weather which was a bonus to a perfect week away. Many thanks to Kirsty for providing her comfortable cosy cottage and welcome pack
