Me and my husband just returned from our stay at Harbour View Cottage in Whitby and all I can say is wow! As regular visitors to Whitby we love its charm and beauty and of course the fish and chips! We were a little apprehensive about the access to the cottage after reading one review but after speaking with Host and Stay and reading the welcome pack we realised there is a further side access for people with poor mobility or dont fancy walking a lot of stairs (we are 78 years old) Access into the centre of Whitby from the cottage was easy peasy and the cottage itself was immaculately clean and breathtakingly gorgeous throughout. The top floor has stunning views across the harbour and it felt like we were the first ones to stay there! We can't wait to return to Harbour View Cottage it really is a hidden gem. PS we even managed to secure a free parking spot for our stay, happy days. nothing

The house is beautiful, carefully put together, almost everything new. It is comfortable and very clean. It was smaller than we anticipated, but there was enough room. Parking is a nightmare (as is most of Whitby though) The steps to the house were very difficult with a baby and pushchair and the garden could be more secure for your pet. Overall loved the stay, but may look for something more accessible in future.

We had a great stay at the property. The property was very well kept. The only downside I would say is the description didn’t mention that there are very steep stairs to access the property or a small side alley which has unstable steps. I had taken my 85 year old grandparents so the walk to the property wasn’t ideal. Other than this we had a fantastic stay.

Comfortable house, decor was lovely It’s really inaccessible, if you have any mobility issues this property is a no go. Parking isn’t the best either.

Dear Sir or Madam, I was quite literally unable to climb the 36 steps with one item of luggage and had return to the car with the luggage. The closest parking space was also a 10 minute walk from the stone staircases. I therefore booked another Booking.com property (Pheasant’s House, Sandsend) for a further £700 only to find on our arrival that it was double booked and we had to drive back home on Friday night. With regard to Harbour View Cottage, my issue is not with the property owner, my issue is with Booking.com for not disclosing the terrible access to the property on the Booking.com website. The trip was for my Wife’s birthday on Saturday and as you can imagine this was ruined. I had paid a total of £1,150 for 2 nights and had to drive home in the dark as we had nowhere to stay. Please respond as soon as possible re refund. Thank you, Mark. I couldn’t get up to it which my luggage. A total of 36 stone steps. Despite the Booking.com website stating there was free parking, I couldn’t find a parking space within 800 metres of the property.
