Kittiwake Cottage Reviews

Robert
lovely cottage , will definitely stay again
Kevin
Lovely cottage, close to all amenities. Bedrooms are very spacious and cottage is well equipped. We found the lounge area very cramped for 5 people and it is supposed to accomodate 8. Other than that a great place to stsy.
Sharon
Lovely cottage , fantastic location, would definitely reccomend .
Julie
Very well maintained accommodation. Spacious and comfortable. Steep incline to the property which is not suitable for everyone.
Andrew
A well-kept property within walking distance of the centre of town. Ear plugs were a must-have item at night because of the constant noise from seagulls, but it's to be expected in a harbour town, and the same would probably be true for most properties in the centre of Whitby. All in all, a lovely place to stay.
Jonathan
Lovely cottage and in a great location for exploring all of Whitby. Second time weâ??ve stayed there and would definitely consider a third.
Julie
Well equipped and centrally located house which was ideal for a family holiday
Margaret
The cottage was perfect for our adult family group of six - really comfortable, great layout and decor, and having one bathroom per couple was ideal. Location was great too. Only problem was that we couldn't park our small car in the drive, because of a huge car next door as well as cars parked opposite the driveway. We did find alternative parking elsewhere, so it wasn't a big problem, just an unexpected start to the holiday. Everything else was great - comfortable, quiet, well-equipped, and easy to walk into town - we'd definitely come back!
Gina
The property was in a good location and well suited for local amenities and attractions. Stairs are narrow and steep so had to watch the children. We didnâ??t spend a lot of time in the property during the day (despite the weather) we were out a lot and ate out or brought chips back to the house. However the kitchen met our needs.
Nicola
Lovely cottage, our second visit, great location.
