    “Pros: This property is in a good location, easy to reach the town centre, lots of lovely places to eat in Whitby.”

    Cons: There had been no proper cleaning done for a very long time, the windows were filthy, cobwebs everywhere, there was one so thick in the bathroom I actually thought it was a piece of string, everything just seemed like it was done on the cheap, the towels need replacing. No effort from whoever ( owner) whatsoever regarding making as nice as possible for paying guests. We also found a half eaten ice cream dessert left in the freezer so no checking had been done prior to our arrival. The ...

    Cons: There had been no proper cleaning done for a very long time, the windows were filthy, cobwebs everywhere, there was one so thick in the bathroom I actually thought it was a piece of string, everything just seemed like it was done on the cheap, the towels need replacing. No effort from whoever ( owner) whatsoever regarding making as nice as possible for paying guests. We also found a half eaten ice cream dessert left in the freezer so no checking had been done prior to our arrival. The bathroom needed a good clean, black mould on the shower head and black mould and green algae on the trim of the shower screen ( these are removable and should be clear) also around the taps both in the bathroom and downstairs toilet were grubby. I don’t like leaving a negative review but when you pay good money to stay somewhere you would expect it to be clean and comfortable.

    You had ample opportunity to let us know there was an issue as we live close by. When I asked you if everything was alright you said yes. Think your review is extremely harsh, we take great care with our cottage. Property Owner

The property

Tucked away in a quiet street close to Whitby's bustling town centre, is Moor Croft cottage, an attractive property built of stone and brick.

With exposed beams and traditional furnishings, it offers a homely and character feel throughout, ideal for that family getaway or a break with friends.

The kitchen is well-appointed for all your culinary needs, so you can rustle up a storm for the whole family and get together around the dining table to discuss your plans for your trip.

Head through to the sitting room to unwind after exploring all the delights Whitby has to offer, tune into the TV and get cosy in front of the electric fire.

Stairs lead from the living room up to a choice of two bedrooms, each well-furnished with bedside tables and ample storage units; a double and a twin, followed by the family bathroom.

You can indulge with a warm soak in the bath tub after a hike on the moors or along the Heritage Coast, relieving your muscles of any aches or pains before getting ready for an evening out.

Find an assortment of pubs and eateries in the town mere paces away, as well as many shops and its iconic steam North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

With its Blue Flag beaches, fishing opportunities, literary connections to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and a long history around Captain Cook and his famous ship Endeavour, you won't be short of things to see and do.

Climb the iconic 199 steps to Whitby Abbey and visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum or enjoy a lovely stroll out to West Pier to see the beaming lighthouse and striking sea views.

Then head to Robin Hood's Bay, a picturesque village some six miles away, with tea rooms, a rocky shoreline, eateries and pubs to indulge.

This is a real treat for those looking to experience a new kind of holiday on Yorkshire's coast.

Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set, or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Hosting an abundance of leisure facilities, opportunities to explore the natural lands, and plenty of coastal delights, Whitby offers something for everyone.
