Disliked: Cleanliness

Position of cottage is excellent The access yard is off putting dirty bins cigarette ends Cottage was not cleaned to extra covid requirements The bed linen was very tired i.e not crisp cotton sheets Wardrobe in twin room doors do not work a mixed selection of broken hangers do not look good Off putting to locate the fridge in a cupboard with mops and brushes Kitchen was not well equipped with exposed pipes under boiler Just a bit of attention to detail would alter our opinion of Cockle cottage The character and position in beautiful Whitby of Cockle cottage was spoiled by these points

Old Fishermans Cottage

The owners have done a really good job on updating this old cottage.It's on three floors with a very narrow steep staircase,so it is not suitable for people with walking difficulties.Nice compact shower with toilet and washbasin on 1st.floor ,.The twin bedded room is on this floor.A very nice and bright room.2nd floor has just a double bedroom with TV and wash basin.The bed is very comfy.There are ,of course,Wardrobes ,bedside tables ecs. Fridge toaster,kettle,TV,central heating also an imitation log burning stove,electric,.Access is from one of the main shopping streets through a gate and up some 10? steps,there are other properties in the same yard.There are no views,from the property,but you only sleep there,so does it matter? We enjoyed our week there.We would recommend it,but we do not think it is suitable for people with walking problems.Oh! we are both in our 70's.

Lovely stay in a super little cottage

Arrived in Whitby for a few days with our granddaughter. Had a lovely time both in Whitby and in Cockle Cottage. Our granddaughter was very taken with the cottage and loved spending time there. The cottage was clean, tidy and welcoming. Would definitely stay again.
