The property was exactly as listed, maintained to a high standard and a lovely setting. The owner was really helpful providing useful information on where to visit and walks. We will be returning in the future.

Great location, property could do with a good clean and spruce up
Great location by the river and viaduct. Property needs a thorough clean. Double rooms would have been tricky with two occupants due to slopping roofs.

Good but cold
3 bed townhouse: Kitchen & eating area on ground floor Lounge & bunk-bed room on middle floor 2 double beds on top floor. Communication with Mike was easy and pleasant with quick responses. The location was great, stunning scenery next to the foot of a huge viaduct and the river a few meters away, a pleasant 15 minute walk into Whitby, 2 supermarkets within a few minutes drive and a quiet neighbourhood. On the negative side was that the heating was locked down to a pre-determined temperature & pre-set times. Mike said it was on 12 hours a day but the boiler was on no more than 4 hours in total over our 3 day stay. My wife spent the first full day there under a blanket. Perhaps we like it warmer than other people, perhaps not, but either way it should be our choice, not to be told how warm we should have it. Another issue is that the floorboards and bunk bed were extremely creaky and so noisy so that it was almost impossible to use either without disturbing those asleep.

About the host

Hosted by Mike or Louise

Host profile image
We are a well travelled couple who know what we like and try to offer you the same in our holiday cottages.

We've been to 64 different countries as at 2023, travelling extensively throughout.

When we are not abroad we also like to spend time in both of our cottages too when they are not booked out.

We love Whitby for its 'old worlde' charm and ancient character and even we find somewhere or something different each time we visit. We're never bored here as it's such an interesting place to visit.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful riverside views in unspoilt countryside. You have a patio at ground level and also a private balcony on the mid floor. A great place to sip a beer or nice wine whilst watching the river just meander on by.

Free parking just outside the cottage is an added bonus for our guests

What makes this property unique

We are part of the North York Moors national park area and our area sits amongst river, lawns and shrubbery
