  We stayed at this property last year and were looking forward to a return visit. However, after a 5 hour drive and looking forward to a nice cup of tea we were disappointed that the welcome pack this year consisted of a few bags of broken pieces of chocolate. when last year it was a jar of Kenco coffee, a box of teabags and a nice bottle of wine. We did not expect to have to go and find a supermarket straight away to purchase these basics that were supplied last year. Also, there were no slip-on slippers as there were last year. The TV in the lounge still does not work properly and constantly loses the picture. This is being blamed on a broken transmitter which I find strange as the TV's in the other rooms work fine. There was mould around the bathroom shower screen and black marks behind the taps. The less said about the plastic bath mat the better, it looks disgusting. All in all, this is very sad as it was excellent last year. We also noticed that other visitors sang the praises of the welcome pack so perhaps it was just us, but it felt like penny-pinching, and as I have said above, I could have done without having to drive to a supermarket after a 5-hour drive to the cottage. Although generally well equipped in other ways, I would no longer class this cottage as 5-star.

  We had a thoroughly enjoyable week at number 25 , with our 2 spaniels .

  The gardens front and rear were totally enclosed which was brilliant. We have stayed in many places where they advertise the garden as being enclosed but in reality they are not which is a total disappointment. Because it was early March we couldn’t sit in the gardens, but the sunshine streamed into the kitchen and dining area and it was warm enough to have the patio doors open.The rear garden is secure , private and pristine. Also the front garden is raised and if it had been a little warmer we would have enjoyed a coffee with the view to Peasholm Park. On arrival there was a super welcome pack for us humans and treats for Zara and Bella our spaniels . Also 2 doggy fleeces, a towel and dog bowls to use during your stay. So many interesting walks from the doorstep….and the beach just a ten minute walk away. As you get to the beach there is Taylor’s bar and Kitchen. A super place, great staff, lovely food and dogs very welcome. Also a 2 minute walk from the house , an excellent fish & chip shop ,the tastiest ever . We can’t recommend number 25 highly enough and will definitely return. Many thanks for making our holiday perfect.

  We found The Gate House in Whitby a luxury holiday home, very well equipped, in fact everything thought of. We did worry though about spilling hot drinks while on the velvet sofas, which were very comfortable. We were also aware how easily the beautiful tiled floors would have chipped if we’d have dropped anything. Although we found the cottage suitable for us, it would not suit older people with mobility issues or disabled people. One bedroom is downstairs but the only bathroom is upstairs, to use the shower the roll top bathtub is quite high to climb into. Downstairs there is a separate toilet and small basin. The furnishings in the cottage were very tasteful and expensive, lovely paintings on the walls, the beds very, very comfortable, good hotel style bed linen. The kitchen was well fitted, dishwasher and washing machine ,plus an American fridge freeezer. 3 flat screen TVs, books and games to keep guests amused. Plenty of parking. There is a main road running by the cottage but even with the upstairs bedroom windows open it wasn’t noisy at night.

  This is an amazing holiday home.

  The standard throughout is excellent. The beds are all extremely comfortable, the welcome pack was brilliant, the location is ideal. Communication with the owners was effortless. They were readily available and genuinely dedicated to ensuring our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The standard of cleanliness was impeccable. We enjoyed the log fire and the comfortable lounge, including the lovely view over Peasholm Park. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room was ideal for family meals. Although our stay encompassed January and February – the property was warm and cosy. There are lots of very thoughtful touches throughout the property – the owners have genuinely tried to think of everything. This holiday home stands out as one of the best we’ve had the pleasure of staying in. We would have no hesitation in returning.

  This property is really only suitable for a couple who just want somewhere to sleep for a few nights.

  There is absolutely no storage provision to unpack clothes, not even a cupboard, and although we only stayed for 3 nights we had to live out of suitcases and I wouldn't have wanted to stay for a week, or longer. Some drawers or something under the bed would have been useful. No hob or oven just a microwave (this is as listed) but minimum crockery and cutlery etc. Just 2 teaspoons or 2 small plates really isn't enough, even for 2 people. The bed cover seemed to have white animal hairs on it but not sure if there had been a dog in there or if the hairs were from the real animal skin rug on the floor. Not suitable for us so I wouldn't return to this property.
