Easter in Whitby

A big, spacious and very substantial house rather than a cottage. Full of character and old charm. Located in the very centre of Whitby so close to anywhere you want to go. It’s a cobblestoned street, narrow, quirky and full of history. Only one inconvenience was lack of outside parking.You can unload your luggage in front of the house and the host supplies a parking pass so you can park free at nearby car park.However the pass doesn’t warrant a space. I supposed it’s something you need to put up with if you want to stay at such a cool location.We had a great time and most definitely would stay there again!

Sunny long weekend

We were pleased with how central the property is - with a 5 year old and 2 year old it was lovely to be able to walk everywhere. The rooms were lovely and the house was well equipped. We were surprised to see the ghost tour stops right outside the house, but didn’t dwell on that too much!

Amazing property & stay

The photos do not do the property justice! Warm, welcoming, spotless a lovely cottage. The location was amazing with sea views from the top bedroom and a short walk into town and the beach. Bedding was clean, excellent quality, beds and pillows very comfy. Kitchen though small is very workable with all utensils anyone needs. Hilda communicated throughout from the initial booking right through to the morning of our arrival where she allowed us early access to the property. My husband and I, our friends and their dog Lola had an amazing time. We would highly recommend the property and we will definitely be booking again. Again Hilda thank you for an amazing stay.

Perfect location & cosy stay

A great holiday home in a perfect central location. Bigger than expected which was a nice surprise with a gorgeous bathroom. Warm & cosy with plenty of hot water for baths & showers. Lots of original features and a secret little outside hideaway sun trap at the back perfect for a morning cuppa. Easy to unload luggage despite being such a narrow one way road and lovely and clean through out. Can highly recommend. The constant contact with the friendly host was reassuring and the surprise early check in time was a real bonus. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely house in a great location

We were four adults and a dog, staying at the house for a three night break in February. The location is absolutely perfect - just a stone's through away from the harbour but slightly back from the hustle and bustle. The house is lovely with well thought out equipment in the kitchen and throughout. The owner was very responsive with any queries we have. We would definitely choose to stay here again. Thank you.

Enjoyable stay in a great location

The property was good value, comfortable and well equipped and we liked the rustic style - our friends had two dogs and we were more relaxed the decor wasn't 'show-home' level, but it was all still charming.The house was located very centrally in town within a couple of minutes walk to the town centre shops and restaurants, and to the famous Abbey, as well as beautiful beaches. There is also a great view of the abbey from the front windows and you can also see the sea from one of the bedrooms. The kitchen is very compact but well equipped, and we managed to squeeze all 6 of us around the kitchen table by pushing one side against the wall.The large bathroom has a good sized walk-in shower and lovely roll-top bath and there is always hot water available. We really enjoyed out stay and would stay here again if we were back in Whitby. Finally, Hilda was a great with communication and answered all our questions promptly.

Competitive price and a great location

From receiving the arrival details to leaving the property at the end of our stay, we couldn’t fault a single thing. Hilda was informative regarding the check in procedure, there were biscuits crisps and pop on the table for us, and the house was lovely and warm. The cosy electric ‘log burner’ style fire made the lounge feel even more cosy The property was extremely clean, the bedding lovely and the beds comfy. The property is located in an excellent spot right in the heart of things which we felt was perfect for our weekend break and yet was still nice and quiet whenever we were indoors. We would definitely stay here again.

Great cottage

The owners are fantastic!! Very friendly and gave lots of useful information. We were concerned that my disabled mum might not cope but the stairs were manageable with help. I like the location as it’s only a stones throw from a lot of useful shops including Java which do excellent cooked breakfasts. There is an alleyway immediately opposite to take a short cut down to water front with fantastic fish and chip shops. The beds were comfortable and there were goodies waiting for us when we arrived. We found it really useful having parking permits. When we’ve stayed in other cottages in Whitby before we have had to park a long way away which is no longer possible with elderly parents. It was also really useful to be able pull off the street outside the cottage to unload the car. The street is very narrow. There is a cute little terrace/courtyard area out the back if you wanted to have a drink out there on a warm evening. The cottage doesn’t do recycling (presumably as there’s no where to keep the bin?) but we collected it all and took it to the household recycling up near Sainsbury’s. This isn’t a requirement, just our preference. All in all a lovely week was had here!!

Brrr

Although the heating system is efficient the single glazing and no draught proofing made a winter stay uncomfortably cold. Overall the cottage is in need of decoration and simple upgrades to eg cutlery would make for a better experience. The beds are comfortable, but flimsy curtains aand rattling windows it difficult to sleep. It's probably great in summer!

Cosy home a short walk to Whitby Harbour

Ideally placed for popping in and out of Whitby, a few minutes walk down quaint cobbled alleyways to reach the harbour front. There is no parking at the property but thankfully the owners had arranged a permit and sent precise details of how and where to use it. There was a thoughtful welcome gift of Raspberry lemonade and snacks when we arrived thank you Hilda & Paul. The bedrooms are large and very comfy the bathroom is also huge downstairs the living room is comfy with 2 large leather couches the kitchen/dining area is very small but contains everything you need and there is a small rear yard. For the price we paid I’ve no complaints but it would benefit from some tlc.

Great location, spacious cottage

Lovely cottage, very spacious and full of character. There’s a large lounge with two comfy couches and a TV. The kitchen diner has a cooker, microwave, toaster and ample dishes, glasses, cups and utensils. A lovely touch was the surprise welcome pack. Three stylish bedrooms (one on the first floor with the bathroom, two on the second floor) with wardrobes, drawers and comfy beds. The bathroom has a roll top bath with claw feet and a separate shower. It’s in Cliff Street on the West Cliff side but nowhere near the top. There is no parking space but there is a parking permit and I got a space without a problem. Penrith Cottage is dog friendly with enclosed outside space, including a patio table and chairs on the upper level. Everything was clean and tidy and comprehensive directions and advice were supplied by the owners.
