  : Comfy beds
  : Bathroom smelt really bad , like boiled cabbage , couldn't work TV ,even when there was 6 remote controls ! Could only watch Netflix. Some of the furniture looks tired . Living room rug was really dirty .The one thing I will say is Host and Stay bombard you with constant emails once booked . I wasn't happy I had to purchase insurance against any damage on the property which was 25 . If I didn't they would take 250 holding deposit. This was only given back once checked out ,with a 14 day wait . Wouldn't have booked if I'd known . It wasn't made clear when I was booking my 3 day stay

Good

  : Location was good, we could park on the drive in front of the cottage. It was quiet. Sneaton Castle was very close to the cottage, a great place for breakfast and evening dinner.
  : The beds were very uncomfortable, they need replacing. Some parts of the rooms in the cottage need painting as do the radiators .

Very Good

  : Very comfortable, and clean. Just on the outskirts of whitby but an easy walk down into the centre.
  : The key box was a little difficult to open and the signage to properly not very good. Had to drive up and down a couple of times to find the properly!

  : Lovely little house about a 20 minute walk away from Whitby! It made for a wonderful holiday home by the seaside :)
  : This might not be a problem all the time, however there were building works down the road which led to the drive way. Thih made it very challenging to park the car in such a tight space! We just resorted to parking down one of the side streets instead

  : Well equipped with everything we needed for the weekendParking space outsideQuiet areaMuch more spacious than a hotel room
  : Uncomfortable bed - small and you could feel the springsA bit dirty in places - kitchen units and upstairs windowsThe upstairs is an attic so not a great deal of head roomA bit of a walk into Whitby - about 25 minsLacks the love you expect from holiday cottages - no welcome pack for exampleNot cheap

  : Short walk to centre of Whitby and ease of road access to other areas
  : Outside area needs weeding badly though this has been raised in previous reviews so probably wont get done. No kerb appeal. Dishwasher tablets left though no dishwasher. Did mention this to hosts and they said there was none listed but I sent them a copy of the listing and it was there and they would amend it. Hadnt been changed while we were there and havent checked since. In double bedroom, bedside socket, window side didnt work. Again messaged them but having read reviews since, this was notified to them in July last year so nothing done. Torrential rain on last day and there was a bad leak inside front door ceiling. In 2 hours we filled a saucepan! Notified them but this needs fixing badly. Also the guttering is badly blocked and needs cleaning out. Cleaning needs improvement. I had to wash and scour the roasting tray and Pyrex dish as well as I could. This apart it is a lovely little place to stay. Comfy beds and lovely shower. A bit of decor badly needed in places especially the radiators and by front door which lets the inside down.
