“A very comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage.”

It has everything you’ll need for your stay. It is situated just up from Whitby quay, which you can easily walk to in 20-25 minutes. There are plenty of good restaurants and pubs within an easy walk. It is also well placed to explore the surrounding area.

- Chris, September 2023

Hi Chris, so pleased you had a lovely week at Cricket Cottage in Whitby. Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. Could I ask for your thoughts on why you marked down the accuracy of our listing on the Sykes website? Cheers David Property Owner
Ann September 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cricket Cottage.”

The house was comfortable with plenty of room for the 5 of us, and with a well equipped kitchen. Whitby was in easy reach (whether by walking or by car), as were the Moors. It was handy being able to park our car just outside too.

- Ann, September 2023

“Absolutely loved the cottage, just the shower wasn't the best”

Stephen September 2023

“Very Comfortable Cottage.”

Excellent facilities. Comfortable beds. Lovely views. Owners very helpful with good contact. Lovey walk over viaduct to Whitby. Dog friendly. Highly Recommend!

- Stephen, September 2023
Wendy August 2023

“In a great situation, open fields behind and views across the Esk to the front.”

Very close by is the former railway line which enables an easy walk into Whitby. The house is well laid out, light and feels spacious. We liked that the bedrooms have only essential storage - just hanging and a bedside unit - and instead of the usual clutter we had flat surfaces so we could open out our luggage properly. Well appointed kitchen though I’m glad I brought a knife sharpener. Friendly neighbours too!

- Wendy, August 2023

Jayne September 2022

“We stayed at Cricket cottage, just outside of Whitby centre.”

The cottage is very modern, clean and offers lovely views of the countryside and is right next to the old viaduct which is great to walk along and take panoramic photos of the views below. The cottage has a small decked seating area to the rear, accessed by french doors from the kitchen and there is a large grassed area beyond the deck which was great for a runaround for our dog. The area is very peaceful and quiet. Perfect to unwind and for a relaxing stay whilst Whitby town centre is just a ten minute drive away.

- Jayne, September 2022
Andy September 2022

“Cracking property in a fantastic location.”

View of viaduct to the front and the moors to the rear. Lovely 20-25 minute walk along cinder trail into Whitby. Property was fully equipped with normal home essentials and was clean and tidy, a home from home.

- Andy, September 2022
Sandra July 2022

- Sandra, July 2022
Nicola July 2022

“Super cottage, lovely and clean with great facilities.”

The garden area was heaven to relax in after a walk to Robin Hoods Bay along the coastal path. About a 20min walk into Whitby along the Cinder Trail. Owners really helpful and quick to respond to any questions regarding the property and local area. Thank you for a great stay.

- Nicola, July 2022

Very spacious and absolutely spotless. It is really well equipped. The walk into whitby is delightful and no worries about parking on a busy sunny day. Host was really good at communicating and making sure I had all the information for our stay. We were really pleased with it.

Angela December 2021

Easy walk into Whitby. Cottage is really well equipped, cosy,warm and quiet. Spotlessly clean too. Dog friendly which is so important for us. A wonderful stay, we will definitely be back.

Donovan November 2021

A comfortable place in a great location.

- Donovan, November 2021
Helen October 2021

“We have just returned from a week at Cricket Cottage and would highly recommend it.”

It was spotlessly clean on arrival and very well equipped, couldn't fault it. We had a little bit of bad weather and it was so nice to return to a warm cosy cottage after a day out. The views over the hills from the back of the house were wonderful and we saw some amazing sunsets. Walking into Whitby over the viaduct and along the cinder path takes around 20 minutes. We will definitely return!

- Helen, October 2021
Colin September 2021

“Quiet location - away from the business of Whitby yet within easy reach walking across viaduct”

- Colin, September 2021
Julie August 2021

“The only thing to comment on is maybe the fact that the garden if the properties is not enclosed so dogs who wander may be difficult in this property.”

- Julie, August 2021
Robert July 2021

“Fantastic location for exploring whitby.”

Great walks along the cinder track

- Robert, July 2021
Ellen July 2021

“The cottage is perfect for a break away in Whitby - an easy walk to the city centre but far enough away that it was very peaceful and quiet.”

Great location for my 4 year old and the outside space felt really safe for him to have a good run around. Cricket cottage itself is extremely well-equipped and there was everything we needed for our week-long stay (the chairs were very handy for the older members of our party on the beach. I cannot recommend this highly enough!

- Ellen, July 2021
Alan June 2021

“Excellent house in good location 20 minute walk to the centre of Whitby large supermarket 10 minutes walk away the house is very well equipped with everything you could need a home from home.”

Sitting out on the patio at the back feels like your in the heart of the country with its rural setting. would definitely return in the future.

- Alan, June 2021
Janet October 2020

“Fantastic location, cottage owners were really customer focussed, checking all ok for us.”

Have already recommended to friend and will rebook for ourselves.

- Janet, October 2020
Susan September 2020

“The location of Cricket Cottage was fabulous.”

Lovely views from front and back, and so quiet and peaceful. The walk along the cinder track to Whitby was lovely, and a only took 20 minutes. The cottage was very comfortable, well equipped and was a perfect home from home for the two weeks we were there.

- Susan, September 2020
Peter July 2020

“GREAT LOCATION LOVELY SCENERY, AND NICE WALKS TO WHITBY.”

- Peter, July 2020
Gwen June 2019

“Both myself and the dog thoroughly enjoyed this holiday.”

The walk along the cinder path was longer than we thought and very muddy in places glad I took my walking boots. There is a shorter way into Whitby which the next door neighbours showed me on the last day. The cottage was lovely and clean and tidy also very warm. The electric went off for 6 hours on the Friday but that was due to Northern Power repairing a cable nearby. The walks around the river and Captain Cooks Haven were great for a last evening walk. The only things that could be better is that there were no bath mats and I hate getting out of a shower onto a tiled floor so I used the rubber mat for inside the bath. Also there was no draining rack for dishes (I know there is a dishwasher but being only myself I didn’t use it) I was bothered about the crockery sliding off the draining board into the floor. Only little things but would be nice to see these in place on a return visit. Would I go again yes definitely thinking about September. What doesn’t show on the picture is that you face the brick and wood shed which houses the bins so part of your view of the river/viaduct is obscured downstairs but great upstairs. Lovely open countryside views at the back and private decking area. No fenced in area but took the dog on the lead out to the grass at the back morning and evening for his toilet. Would recommend this property prefer being at the top than having to climb the steep hill everyday from the cottages at the bottom but they have a brilliant river view swings and roundabouts. Parking great no issues at all that’s a big plus for me

- Gwen, June 2019
Don August 2018

“Well located to walk into Whitby and to explore other places of interest in NE Yorkshire.”

Very quiet, good parking area and lovely views.

- Don, August 2018
Lisa July 2018

“Cricket Cottage, we found to be a home from home.”

..kitchen had everything you needed and the whole cottage was clean and tidy. We will definitely be returning to this lovely cottage.

- Lisa, July 2018
Colin July 2018

“Just had a lovely holiday at Cricket COTTAGE very very well equipped took us a while to work out electric oven until we found instructions inside a cupboard door then we was ok.”

There is a lovely view across the fields from kitchen window and rear patio and views out the front of the viaduct and river plus the Steam Trains so if you want a nice quiet base for a trip to Whitby this is it. It is only 5/6minute drive to town or by taxi costs only £6.00p we did this to go on the Steam Train as parking is difficult costs for parking is about £10.00p for all day at least with the taxi for us it stopped right out-side the station for a lovely day on the NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS RAILWAY a very good day out

- Colin, July 2018
David May 2018

“Plenty to see and do some great walks around Whitby and the North Yorkshire moors, restaurants excellent and the fish and chips were lovely to all in all it was a fantastic holiday and we will do it again next year, thank you.”

- Richard, November 2017
Anne September 2017

“Travelling with my 91 year old mother, we needed a comfortable "home from home" for the week and found Cricket Cottage absolutely perfect for our needs.”

On arrival, we were quite delighted by how beautifully it was presented - immaculately decorated, with beautiful decor, spotlessly clean, every home comfort - and as we settled in we found the cottage had everything we could possibly need. The location is just perfect - plenty of on-site parking, and only a mile or so from the centre of Whitby. And given the inclement weather, we were particularly grateful for the efficient heating and constant hot water. Really highly recommended.

- Anne, September 2017
Michael June 2017

“As it was a last minute move from another one of your properties in Whitby that was dirty this property was what you would expect the be like when you pay good money, a big thank you to I think it was Lisa at Sykes for sorting the move and David Bowles the owner for letting us book his holiday home at last minute as it saved our week and without to much of a upset to us thank you.”

- Michael, June 2017
Christine September 2016
