Waterside Cottage Whitby

Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : On the out skirts of Whitby but good off road walking via viaduct to get into Whitby. Seating bench outside. Not overlooked and felt very private. Use of Captain Cooks Haven a plus, use of swimming pool, play areas and bbq's. Nice walk along river Esk at bottom of hill. Owners very helpful, contacting me in person prior to holiday, supplying telephone numbers in case of any problems.
  : Steep bank up to swimming area, though you could drive and see if you can get parked in excess parking area. One of the settees was very soft and I was unable to use due to mobility problems. Not all the window locks worked, built is a safe area.

  : The location was excellent as the house was positioned in a very scenic and quiet area with tended gardens beside a river with ducks, herons, cormorants and other wildlife. The cinder track - a disused railway line, was lovely to walk along into Whitby, and also perfect for countryside walks in the opposite direction with the dog and double buggy - there were lots of ponies, cows, and rabbits to see. The house was a few minutes away by car from an Aldi supermarket and Sainsburys at a small retail park. This was very convenient, and it was also easy to get to other places, such as Robin Hoods Bay and Goathland. The owner was very friendly and helpful - it was easy to collect and return the key to the property, and to use the TV and wi-fi. My toddlers enjoyed Disney plus on the smart tv which they dont usually have! There was plenty of hot water for their bath-time and washing the dishes, and the house was clean and modern, and very cosy. I brought my own travel cot and travel highchair, but the owner would have provided a highchair if requested and also a stairgate. The house had locks on the windows and blind cords secured so that it was child friendly. The children had the cold so we didnt use the small swimming pool that is at this holiday home resort, but it looked good! We had a lovely stay for a week in October and would definitely stay here again. The location was quiet and clean, with a small private patio area that could be enjoyed in warmer weather, and the old viaduct over the river made it very scenic.
  : We all enjoyed staying at this property and it was child and dog friendly.
