“A lovely property and a great location - perfect for a good walk to town and back!”

Excellent facilities and good sized rooms. Just one or two things in the kitchen that could have been a little cleaner, but not a major issue for us. We would certainly book Linskill Cottage again!

“Great space.”

Rugs filthy and back door mat was soaking wet when we arrived. Love the quality of furniture, comfort of the beds etc Could do with a fire stick or similar for the TV so we could sign into our amazon/Netflix accounts or similar. Well stocked kitchen and appreciated the BBQ. Could do with a coffee machine. Would come back if we were in the area. Really appreciated the car parking space and proximity to town.

“Bright, cheerful and well equipped within a couple of minutes walk of the park and ten minutes down into the town.”

Off road parking a real benefit as it's a busy road. Hot tub and barbecue in the yard at the back perfect for a summer holiday!

Lovely Christmas decorations & a welcome basket much appreciated, highly recommend, many thanks

“Thank you !”

lovely cottage I have stayed here before and it was as nice as I remembered. Nice and clean and cozy and a short stroll in to Whitby. The cottage has everything you could ask for and even a hot tub ! The welcome basket was a nice surprise. I would highly recommend

- Angela, November 2023
Lorna August 2023

“We had a wonderful stay and the house was fantastic.”

Really well located for getting everywhere too. The beds were all comfortable other than the double which was very hard! The kitchen was really well equipped, the decoration was lovely and coast themed. The welcome basket was a lovely touch too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay here again!

“Hi loved the cottage the only 1 thing is only 1 wardrobe family had to live out ...”

Hi loved the cottage the only 1 thing is only 1 wardrobe family had to live out of suitcases but recommend for a great property

- Peter, May 2023
Shelley February 2023

“This cottage was definitely home from home.”

Very comfortable. We will return. Just one criticism, we feel it would be better with a shower cubicle in the bathroom upstairs, instead of a shower over the bath.

- Shelley, February 2023
Denise November 2022

“Cosy, comfortable, clean and well facilitated cottage.”

There is everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Jenny August 2022

“Linskill cottage was brilliant.”

Was lovely to arrive and have a welcome sign on the chalkboard and a basket of essentials left for us too! The cottage was more than big enough for our family of 4 adults and 2 teens. It was a short walk into town but all uphill coming back... The X4 bus runs from Whitby train station to just around the corner so that was useful and saved our legs. The hot tub was a real treat, very easy to use and comfortably fit 4 people in. Would definitely recommend this cottage to others.

- Jenny, August 2022
Chris May 2022

“Lovely cottage in a really great location.”

The cottage was really spacious and very well equipped. Really nice large rooms throughout equipped with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was great and got a lot of use. In terms of location it is great as out of town but a comfortable walk into the centre so great for access to local shops, bars and restaurants. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely go back.

- Chris, May 2022
Catherine May 2022

“Great cottage, great location.”

Very clean and well presented. We would revisit.

“The cottage was amazing, it was extremely well equipped, very comfortable and a great location.”

Emily January 2022

“Overall nice property but several things need attention to make this a 5 star property as listed.”

Firstly the door to the main bathroom doesn't close at all as it is warped, downstairs bathroom doesn't lock, paint/arcetrave peeling off wall directly about bed in main bedroom, ensuite toilet cistern sticks on intermittently. Cleanliness in ensuite could be better, walls dirty and grout mouldy. Only 3 normal sized glass tumblers in kitchen, which don't match . Disappointed no welcome pack as advertised, reason is stated as due to covid but not sure how this is relevant since items are wrapped and shop bought?! Positives were hot tub which looked very new and was great, also good location. If the above issues were addressed we'd stay again but as it currently stands we wouldn't unfortunately.

- Emily, January 2022
Robert September 2021

“Generally all was fine, but the back garden/yard was considerably smaller than I expected.”

You can BBQ, but there’s no room to eat outside. However, the hot tub was very welcome to come back to after a long walk.

- Robert, September 2021
Richard August 2021

“A very good week in Linskill Cottage that was located well for exploring both Whitby and the surrounding areas along the East Coast.”

Comfortable beds and house was large enough to accommodate our family of 4. The hot tub was a lovely addition after being out daily to unwind in the evening and destress. There were a few cobwebs in the kitchen area that were a little disappointing to find but all in all the cleanliness of the house for its size was reasonable. We would definitely return as we enjoyed our week at the property.

- Richard, August 2021
Anna August 2021

“The location was fantastic and encouraged us to walk into town each day.”

The location was peaceful. The hot tub meant our evenings were relaxed before sitting down to chill out and watch TV. The hot tub was clean. Everything had been thought of that could be needed which made the stay feel home from home. Cooking was a pleasure as the kitchen was brilliant therefore we could be together and enjoy the cooking. We have spent many holidays in Whitby and have stayed in various accommodations but this was certainly the best.

- Anna, August 2021
Joan July 2021

“It shoud be pointed out that the property is not suitable for those with walking difficulties/mobility issues unless they are prepared to drive or get a taxi.”

The property is a 15 minute walk downhill to the bridge across the river, I could never have walked back up, it was a case of drive or have a taxi. Available parking in Whitby is a longish walk from the main areas.

- Joan, July 2021
Jennifer May 2021

“2 out of the three bedrooms are very small and there is only a wardrobe in the master bedroom so if accommodation was shared by 3 couples would be very cramped - especially the third bedroom as the door doesn't even open properly as is blocked by the bed.”

- Jennifer, May 2021
Trina October 2020

“Loverly house great location would definitely stay again”

- Trina, October 2020
Frances September 2020

“The cottage was very nice.”

We were disappointed that the racks on the barbeque were left dirty and the bins were full from the previous visitors. Also we did ring and query the hot tub as it looked very murky and scumy. We were told someone local would call but they didn't and we were not happy to use it. The hot tub was one of the reasons for booking that particular property so we were not pleased. Visitors should be made aware of the last time the water was tested so that they can be confident it is safe to use.

- Frances, September 2020
David August 2020

“Really great holiday and lovely house.”

Only downside we had was being unable to use the hot tub for 3 days due to unserviceability. This was one of the main selling points of the house when booked for our grandchildren. I understand how/when items break but when the gentleman arrived to fix the day after reporting he stated that he thought this should have been sorted by now as he had been out several times!

- David, August 2020
Lesley July 2020

“Had a lovely break, beds very comfortable, nice quiet location but also close to everything.”

- Lesley, July 2020
Jennie March 2020

“We had a brilliant time in the cottage.”

Plenty of space inside, great location, comfy beds and the bonus of a hot tub! A great week.

- Jennie, March 2020
Hannah January 2020

“The size of the property was perfect for the amount of people staying”

- Hannah, January 2020
Laura December 2019

“Lovely clean and modern house perfect for a short break over new year.”

Hot tub was a nice addition and house felt both cosy and homely but also big enough to have 6 adults and 2 under 1’s.

- Laura, December 2019
Kathlyn December 2019

“The best Christmas ever.”

Cottage absolutely beautiful. Christmas day kids on beach playing football. Boxing day fish and chips and the slots. Location perfect near to town and a beautiful park. It was like a Christmas fairy tale.

- Kathlyn, December 2019
Carole November 2019

“A very lovely, cosy cottage.”

Very convenient for the town centre with the added bonus of parking. We had a great time with plenty of gorgeous meals out, coastal walking and lots of laughter.

- Carole, November 2019
Andrew November 2019

“Great location with a short walk to the cliff top, beach, harbour and town.”

No need to use the car.

“All highly satisfactory and will book again!”

Good information available within the guest folder at the property.

Hewitt Party Apr 2019

“The welcome pack is very thoughtful, very generous and was greatly appreciated by us all!”

Cottage is spacious and comfortable and is in walking distance of lots of local amenities. The children particularly loved Pannetts Park, less than 5 minutes' walk away. Private, off road parking is a fantastic bonus in Whitby! This is our 5th Easter break in Whitby and we will definitely be back next year, all being well!

- Hewitt Party, Apr 2019

We were greeted with a warm welcome by the office staff and enjoyed receiving a goodie bag full of local treats. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Linskill Cottage has excellent facilities beyond what you'd expect from a holiday cottage, which all made our stay extra special.
