  Abbey View has obviously been done to a very high standard and we found it very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay.

  However, a few minor details let it down slightly. The welcome pack was akin to a budget hotel with cheap coffee and UHT milk- this little detail on arrival can make all the difference, although the biscuits were really good. It’s not clear in the information that the house is situated next to a very busy and noisy road with a constant stream of traffic at all times of day and night. Although we did get used to it, it was wasn’t as peaceful as we would’ve liked. Situated on the outskirts of Whitby, it was a fair walk into the centre, but the park and ride was a few minutes walk at the top of the road, much handier than taking the car in. A local hotel was situated there too, which was excellent for food and drinks and a great place to sit out on sunny night. The house had great selection of kitchen equipment etc, but sadly lacking in enough dinnerware and glasses, ( no beer glasses) so meant constantly washing dishes as there wasn’t enough without putting the dishwasher all the time. More concerning was the washing machine. I mistakenly put it on early one morning, but had to stop if half way through as it tried to make a bid for freedom, jumping about during the spin cycle. I shudder to think what would’ve happened if we had put it on before going out!! All in all, a lovely holiday home. These issues are not complaints but for the cost of a week staying here, you expect certain standards. A few tweaks would make all the difference.

  The property was beautiful and in a great location, with a lovely view.

  just 5 minutes away from Whitby and 10 Minutes away from goathland. The kitchen was really well equipped and the beds/sofa really comfy. All new furniture and you could see a lot of detail has been put into this property. The waterfall shower was great. I would definitely stay here again. The garden was great however as a small dog owner I feel the gate could have been more secure as there are large gaps in between the wood which my dogs could escape from, nothing a bit of chicken wire wouldn’t fix to put me at ease. The toilet seat was loose in one of the rooms and the flusher didn’t work too well, and the shower seal is lose when she shower door is closed, just a note to look at getting fixed but this didn’t in anyway impact our lovely stay. Could do with leaving a bit more toilet roll and a kitchen worktop spray. Thank you for a lovely stay, the biscuits we got on arrival were a lovely touch and very tasty.

  Fantastic property 5* Just had a lovely weeks stay in this property and delighted with our choice.

  The heating for the property is easy to control so we were never cold The beds are very comfy and showers,though small give plenty of hot water. WiFi works perfectly and Netflix tv is a bonus.There is plenty of space for 6 adults The parking space was a bonus for us and no problem for our guests parking on the street,though I would imagine harder in main season,but there is a carpark next door which is free from 6pm till 9am and £9 for 24 hour parking if no onstreet is available. Close to all that there is to visit in Whitby,but away from the noise of the town its a 5 minute walk to the bridge and will get you into the lovely town where there is plenty to do and see and also there are lovely places to visit within a half hour drive. We would highly recommend this cottage and thank Kelly for being helpful on the phone before our visit and for having such a lovely property that we could stay in.We hope to visit again

  We had a lovely week, the lounge, kitchen and dining area is a very generous space.

  The beds are very comfortable and the en-suite showers are very powerful. The negatives are, the cottage was dirty the tops were clean but the skirting boards and floors were filthy, cobwebs in the lounge and the rug needed a good vacuum luckily we took covers for the settee. The kitchen needs more glasses, cups and cutlery. We requested the bedroom was set up as a king size and cottage was clean as two of us have MS but unfortunately neither were actioned. The outside area has good parking for two cars and secure for our two small dogs. The road noise is loud but didn’t effect us plus we took two sun loungers. There is a great field for dog walking just around the corner away from the main road which has a hard surface suitable for our scooters. We would visit again but please address the cleaning.

  We had a lovely stay at Razorbill cottage.

  We have stayed in lots of cottages in Whitby as it is our favourite place. The cottage is ideally located, right in the centre of the town. We loved the balcony, to be able to sit outside with a lovely view was a pleasure. The cottage had good facilities almost everything needed. The parking space was a great addition and the scratch cards as well. The space is small, also tricky to manoeuvre into, but apart from that, it is a relief to park outside your holiday let, bearing in mind the amount of luggage etc. Just one small thing the patio area was lovely, but full of weeds. We did a spot of weed pulling and tidying up outside. It did look a bit neglected. But apart from that small thing, Razorbill cottage is a great place to stay. Thank you
