“We love this cottage & have stayed before, it’s in a great location & I understand there are limitations given the age of the cottage, however, it’s looking really tired in some areas especially the bathroom, which needs some TLC & a really deep clean(toilet seat, shower head, grout in shower, bathroom floor).”

The kitchen also, would benefit from a really good clean, especially the tiled floor.

Thank you for your feedback so glad you love this cottage. We have taken on board your comments and have carried out a deep clean and can confirm the bathroom has been revamped. We hope to see you again at Fossil Cottage. Property Owner

Suzanne September 2024

“Beautiful cottage in a perfect location.”

Ideal for a short break. Everything provided you could think off. Lovely comfy beds and bedding. Not ideal for young children or those with mobility problems due to steep narrow staircase and no private outdoor space. The welcome pack was a bonus filled with local goodies.

Cottage was lovely and cosy Would just mention the fact there is no back garden in listing as we took a dog and had to get dressed at night to take dog out for toiletries needs Had I known no back garden probably would not have booked here Other than that had a great stay and fantastic location

- James, September 2024
Jamie September 2024

“We loved our stay at Fossil Cottage and it had everything we needed for a lovely week.”

The welcome bag with goodies was a lovely touch. Kitchen was well equipped and the cottage as a whole was very comfortable and cosy. The only constructive feedback we would have is that the bathroom is in need of some TLC - no issues with the facilities but a freshen up would make a big difference. Also the possibility of a parking permit with the cottage would improve the experience if guests are travelling by car.

Tina June 2024

“I have left a note regarding the leaking pipe outside the window of the twin room.”

Leaks after flushing the toilet so can be quite smelly! Plus waste going onto the roof. Just needs sealing. This did not ruin the stay at all! Beautiful cottage with easy walk into the town. When unloading /loading the car do not worry about the cobbled street you need to go down. It took us a couple of times to work out you can drive down this road. Comfortable beds. Spotlessly clean and comfy. Beach opposite the property down the steps. Ideal for families. We were 2 x couples and found the cottage to have ample room. Not recommended for any people with mobility issues as stairs are extremely narrow.

- Tina, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Fossil Cottage. Thank you for the note you left us, we have addressed the problem so it shouldn't happen again! Property Owner
Stuart April 2024

“Lovely small and quaint cottage in a perfect location.”

The cottage was very well equipped with everything you need. It was clean and the beds were very comfortable with quality bedding. Trivial pursuit and scrabble were a great addition and provided a lovely evening of entertainment whilst snuggled up in front of the log fire. There is enough wood for an initial fire but bring more if you are staying a few nights. The welcome pack was a lovely addition with tea, coffee, biscuits, crisps and cake

- Stuart, April 2024
Catherine December 2023

“We were a bit dissapointed that there were no Christmas decorations in the cottage having stayed in several over Christmas this was the 1st without.”

But £10 spent in the charity shops we put a tree with lights on the meter cuboard looked lovely. We had a fabulous time overall. The cottage was smaller than it looked in the photos. So bit of a squeeze with 4 adults in the lounge. Being tall we all managed to bang our heads above the hob in the kitchen and at the bottom of the stairs. The cottage was clean and nicely furnished. The beds were comfortable and the bedding lovely and fresh. Would have liked some place mats for the dining table and a tin opener that worked . Appreciated the lovely goodie bag with Yorkshire treats. Would stay again but as a couple or with grandchildren.

- Catherine, December 2023
Karen November 2023

“A lovely old fisherman’s cottage in a great position on the cobbles in the old town.”

Tastefully furnished & really comfortable with everything you need. A lovely welcome pack was left for our use & we have already rebooked for next year. Only negative would be the single beds in the second bedroom, I had to reposition the slats under the mattress as they slipped out of position & the mattresses were far too soft.

- Karen, November 2023

The single beds have now been replaced. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner
Jackie September 2023

“The cottage was in a brilliant location and very nice,the only fault I have is it needs a good in-depth clean.”

The mould in the bathroom needs addressing and the cleanliness in the whole cottage needs looking at.There’s also a weird smell in the kitchen,this could of been the rug in front of the sink which I had to put in the boiler cupboard!!There seems to be quite alot of niknaks in the cottage which is ok if they were cleaned regularly and not collecting dust.

- Jackie, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. I can assure you that the property as now undergone a deep clean following a busy summer season. We have redecorated the bathroom and addressed the mould. The rug you are referring to has now been removed along with some of the ornaments around the cottage. We hope these improvements will make a difference and that you may return in the future.

Heather & Bean Sep 2023

“Brilliant-don't read this review looking for 'Niggles', There are none.”

The place is in a fab location, with all we needed including rain man watched it, Thanks. Everything works, is clean and the welcome hamper was scrummy and a great touch. We even brought friends back to see it and they loved it too!

- Heather & Bean, Sep 2023
Christine August 2023

“The only problem was the stairs were very steep”

- Christine, August 2023
Madeleine August 2023

“Welcome hamper very good.”

Storage space for basic food items e.g. Bread Tec would be nice. General lack of flat surfaces as everything covered in nik-naks. No orange waste bags provided. Beds very comfortable, as was furniture. The stairs were problematic and need a banister. Unfortunately husband broke is leg on second day so had to leave early.

Anabel, Philippa & Sue Jul 2023

“Lovely Cottage Beautiful decor.”

Really enjoyed our stay, we could only say one negative and that is some of the glasses and mugs weren't clean when we arrived. Also the shower water didn't drain away very quickly. Other than these few minor details, this cottage is wonderful. This is the fifth cottage we have stayed in in Whitby and by far the best!

- Anabel, Philippa & Sue, Jul 2023
Marg, Fiona & Lexi Jul 2023

“First trip to Whitby and will be back!”

Loved this well equipped home from home. Everywhere the eye was taken had interesting and tasteful decor and artifacts which made the accommodation feel cosy, homely and catered for so the owner has obviously traveled & knows what makes a stay perfect. Will definitely be back as so quirky and in keeping with the location. Thanks!

Chris February 2023

“Fossil cottage was fab choice for a birthday break, we are familiar with the location and expected the narrow streets on the drive up to the cottage, it's all part of Whitby charm.”

The cottage was clean and well presented. We cooked steak on our arrival night and found everything in the kitchen we required. Chester the dog enjoyed his stay as did we. Our only comment and is no reflection on the accommodation itself was the key hand over at the end of the stay could have been made more clear... however 10/10

- Chris, February 2023
Jackie December 2022

“The cottage had dusty surfaces and cobwebs from the bedroom ceiling near the door and under the cooker hood.”

There were two used mugs in the sink. We couldn't find the instructions for the cooker so had to guess settings for the Christmas dinner. The stairs were quiet steep so not good for older people. The cottage was nice and warm though.

- Jackie, December 2022
Georgina June 2022

“The location of the cottage was perfect and the parking at Abbey Farm worked out well.”

We were slightly taken aback when we arrived and had to drive through a very busy Church Street on a Saturday afternoon and assumed we’d made a wrong turn. The lack of any outside space was not ideal for our dog as it meant putting clothes on to take him out for early morning/ bedtime toileting- my husband drew the short straw!

- Georgina, June 2022
Alan June 2022

“Everything was absolutely fab at the cottage just 2 slight problems 1.”

The toilet seat requires tightening 2.A hand grip would be appreciated in the shower cubicle for help in excepting in possible Otherwise the cottage was a dream both in location and ideal for our every needs towards making a very memorable holiday in Whitby we shall definitely return to the cottage next year if possible Thanks to all the staff at Sykes Best wishes The Newton family& Sophie (the dog) Gateshead

Stuart May 2022

“Fossil Cottage in Whitby is a cosy and warm cottage, which made us feel relaxed and welcoming.”

Decorated and cleaned to a high standard and was lovely to stay in for our holiday. The location on the East side was a five minute walk to the 199 steps, then up the steps to the Abbey. A five minute walk to a beautiful beach and the Pier. Lovely shops and Restaurants a short walk away, and central spot to see all Whitby. A great dog friendly cottage and dog friendly place to visit.

“Lovely property, great location, look forward to stopping here again”

Laura Dakin May 2022

“Absolutely superb.”

Location Spot on. 199 steps literally 30ft from the front door. The beach across the street and down some steps. The room themselves are so tastefully decorated. They are absolutely beautiful. The beds wow I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. The cottage had absolutely everything I could think of , from a smart tv to a cheese knife wine and gib glasses to pens note pad and baby bowls and cutlery. Even a travel cot and high chair. High quality everywhere. Other reviews mentioned uncomfortable settee this must have been replaced as it eas very comfy and so were the 2 armchairs. The best of all was the VERY Generous hamper we we're greeted with on arrival. Packed with lots of Yorkshire's finest goodies from tea,cakes,ground coffee, biscuits, crisp, and chocolate. Thank you , I will be back.

Nicola February 2022

“Lovely cottage in great location for exploring Whitby.”

Only disappointment was lack of any welcome pack for arrival, not even a pint of milk. Also scant toilet roll supply. This is the difference between good rating and excellent rating.

- Nicola, February 2022

Thank you for taking the time to add feedback. I must apologise for the lack of a hamper on your arrival. I have rectified this and you will receive a little something in the post this week. We do hope you will return to Fossil cottage again in the future. Property Owner

Thank you for your feedback, we have now updated the sofa and chairs to new ones, so this will no longer be a problem. Property Owner
Julie November 2021

“Cottage was lovely but feel it should have been in the write up about stair ...”

Cottage was lovely but feel it should have been in the write up about stair safety not good for children as you came straight out of second bedroom straight onto to twisted staircase should have been told about this so dangerous The other problem was the two very old sofas no comfort at all as cushions you sat on had ne padding left and so low to ground knees were under your chin when sitting Which meant we spent nearly all our time out Just to sit comfortably very disappointed with this Think someone from sykes definitely needs to check them out so you know how bad they are Would like feedback on my review please as very unhappy Julie Rooney

- Julie, November 2021

Thank you for the feedback, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay , we have replaced the sofas and the armchairs Property Owner
Timothy November 2021

“Excellent cottage, gives the feel of old world with modern facilities.”

Only point is tv signal though this could have been blamed on high winds. Smell of the kipper smoker up the road, takes you back in time.

- Timothy, November 2021
Tim August 2021

“Good location & by and large all was as published and enjoyable.”

Didn’t expect to have to clean some pretty dirty cooking trays & pots. The very restricted access could have been flagged more clearly - witnesssed car rage on more than one occasion!

- Tim, August 2021

Glad you had an enjoyable stay, sorry to hear about the dirty cooking trays and pots, this issue has now been resolved. If you had called us during your stay we would of gladly rectified immediately. Property Owner

Yvonne June 2021

“The location of Fossil Cottage was excellent, a stones throw from the beach which we managed to get entirely to ourselves one evening.”

The cottage was fresh and beachy yet cosy, just the atmosphere we were looking for. We were pleased to find it beautifully clean. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Yvonne, June 2021
Christina May 2021

“The cottage was extremely clean and beautifully decorated with seaside themed art/cushions/ decorative features.”

It was small, but cosy & comfortable. The stairs were fun for us, but would prove difficult for elderly or infirm visitors. The position in Henrietta Street was fabulous - very quiet but very close to Whitby town centre. There was no outside space, but a few steps along to the end of the (dead end) road was a grassy area with several benches overlooking the harbour - a perfect place to catch the sunset. Whitby is a lovely seaside town with excellent shops, a picturesque harbour, a safe beach and atmospheric ruined abbey. Nearby we enjoyed walks at Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes, the Falling Foss tea gardens (woodland walks and waterfall) and the waterfalls between Grosmont and Goathland.

- Christina, May 2021
Tracey May 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we got in a bit earlier as the weather wasn’t good.”

The front door was a little tricky and at 1 point I thought I couldn’t unlock it to get out, and as it’s the only door I did panic a little. But that aside we had a lovely stay.

- Tracey, May 2021
Nicola April 2021

“Beautiful cottage excellent location”

- Nicola, April 2021
Martin October 2020

“This is the second time we have stayed here and its a fantastic cottage in a great location.”

Small point of maintenance, front door locks need to be oiled as they both kept sticking. Inner door lock now missing and the door appears to have been kicked in as its cracked. I don't know when this happened but it doesn't give a good impression.

- Martin, October 2020

Thank you for your comments, we are so glad you like Fossil Cottage. We apologise for the damage to the door, the problems have now been addressed. Property Owner
Helen March 2020

“A delightful little cottage.”

Loved the wood burning fireplace but it would have been nice to have had one bag of wood already there. Loved the unexpected bag of groceries - thank you for that. We enjoyed our two week stay even though it had to be cut short by two days because of the virus travel restrictions. Tips for future older visitors - Easy chair and couch in sitting room are very low and feather seat cushions need a good plumping each day. Stairs very steep and narrow treads in places.

- Helen, March 2020
Peter November 2019

“This is a lovely, very cosy cottage and Whitby out of season was great.”

However, given its location we expected it to be very quiet. Actually there is quite a lot of early morning traffic, delivery vans in particular driving past to turn round at the end of the lane. Access with a car, even to drop off and pick up is a nightmare and when we stayed works in the car park restricted the parking spaces, 20 minutes minimum to find somewhere else to park. The cottage is well equipped but lots of the owners stuff there, not enough space for our own food and granddaughters (7 months) things in the kitchen. Finally, a few soggy logs, no fire lighters and hardly any kindling meant a trip to the Coop for supplies even on the first evening. Worth noting staircase is very steep, not suitable for elderly or infirm. I’d love to recommend this cottage but we wouldn’t stay there again.

- Peter, November 2019
Martin October 2019

“A lovely cottage in an excellent location.”

The welcome pack was a real treat too. Would gladly stay here again and I hope the next guests enjoy their stay as much as we did.

Parsons Sep 2018

“Had a good stay.”

Parking at the nearby farm worked out very well. Thank you for the welcome hamper - lovely coffee! Coastal Walk at Robin Hoods Bay is lovely. Abbey Wharf Restaurant prepares lovely fresh meals. Eden Camp War Museum is about 50 mins drive but well worth the visit.

- Parsons, Sep 2018

“Toilet rolls.”

Perhaps not the usual way to begin a review of a rented property, but in the case of Fossil Cottage in Whitby, very pertinent. I’m sure everybody has struggled with a new toilet roll, trying to tear that first sheet free and ending up with six feet of half-freed, torn sheets while the other half stays resolutely gummed. At Fossil Cottage, someone had thoughtfully done the hard work for us, and tucked the first sheet into the cardboard centre tube. This is just one small example of the care and consideration that had gone into preparing the cottage for us. The place was spotlessly clean and blissfully warm as we arrived on a cold, late November day. The Welcome Pack contained everything we needed for a snack, cup of tea, round of toast or glass of wine. I can’t overstate how cosy this little place is; particularly the kitchen. And the lounge with its easy-to-light wood burning stove (everything, down to the matches, was provided). It’s quiet too, in November anyway. Just 2 minute’s walk from bustling Church Street, few pedestrians and even fewer cars pass by to disturb your tranquillity. OK, it doesn’t have a sea view – if it did you would be paying considerably more. BUT, pop outside and, within 20 feet, you are at the top of steps leading down to the beach, and have a lovely aspect of the harbour. To end, Fossil Cottage is a little gem, and many thanks to Yorkshire Coastal Cottages for recommending that it would meet the needs of four adults and a well behaved dog. In fact, it far exceeded our expectations.
