Mariner's Watch Reviews

Patricia
Myself and my family had a fabulous time at The Mariners Watch. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole house was spotlessly clean. It was spacious and very comfortable, and the views of Whitby are incredibl, the hot tub was well visited. We will definitely be back again. Thank you.
The property was excellent amazing 365 degree views of the whole of Whitby. The property was perfect for all ages, perfectly clean and had all the equipment we needed for a lovely family weekend together. The access to the property is very steep but there are plenty of warnings about it and wasnt a problem for us.
The cottage was outstanding with one tiny exception. On the side of the master suite double bed there is a padlock which is positioned in a spot which means that when swinging out of bed in the morning it is very easy to catch ones leg on the metal sharp surfaces. Ouch! Very small criticism of an otherwise outstanding accommodation.
It is a fabulous place to stay, views are amazing, could just do with a little attention to detail on cleaning.
We found the property wonderful and had a lovely time. Only thing I would mention is that there was only 1 tea towel not the easiest when catering for 10 people
Richard
We had an absolutely amazing weekend at Mariners Watch, with everything as described and actually better than expected in most cases. Being ultra critical, we did have problems with the front door key, where it wouldn't quite align and also, even after following the instructions on the hot tub wall, we couldn't get the temperature to increase. Neither of these affected our stay and I do feel like I'm clutching at straws a little!!! Hopefully will be back! Rich
The property is stunning. It really is special. From every window there is a picture postcard view. Breathtaking. The property had everything we could need, the kitchen well stocked and with good quality items. It was clean and well looked after. There were 9 of us and plenty of space.
It was brilliant. We had a wonderful time in such a stunning location. You were responsive to the hearing problem even before we were really aware of it.
Samantha
What a beautiful house. Everywhere we went in Whitby, look up and you could see the house. This was such a treat. The bank and those steps though, what a killer!!
Vanessa
Absolutely stunning place, amazing, excellent views from all around the house, very clean and fresh. Would highly recommend.
Myself and my friends had such a lovely weekend at Mariners Watch. The house is absolutely stunning! With high end furnishings and finishing touches which show a lot of thought and good taste has gone into making the house into a beautiful holiday home. The house had everything we could need and the views definitely made up for the steep hill we had to use to access it. Thank you, we will hopefully come back again another time.
