“Another wonderful stay at Porters Rest.”

It's our Second stay this year, and we have booked again for next year. A lovely clean cottage, well equipped with everything you need. A short walk down the road and you are in Whitby town centre. The car parking for 1 car is fantastic in Whitby. A great location also for discovering the local area.

“I would say Porters Rest is the nicest cottage I’ve stayed in.”

Perfectly decorated and everything worked perfectly- including the shower,which isn’t always the case! Whitby is a great town to visit and there is plenty to see and do. Will almost certainly return in the near future.

Paul July 2024

“We all enjoyed a lovely stay at Porters Rest.”

The only minor issues we had were the duvet for the double bed could have been a larger size and an assist rail above the bath would have been beneficial.

Graham November 2023

“Very comfortable.”

We have stayed in a few cottages in this row and this one is one of the best so far. We stayed in November and although it was cold outside the cottage was lovely and warm, The owner had left a cake, sweets and milk, plus there was coffee sachets and tea bags to welcome us. The furniture was comfortable and the cottage was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Off road parking right outside was a bonus. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage and we will return.

“The property was stunning, immaculate and clean with everything you needed for a comfortable stay.”

Even some chocolates and a cake was there to welcome us too. Location is very close to the main bars, restaurants, cafes, train station and harbour areas. Private car park space outside the property is an added bonus in Whitby. One of the best accommodations we have stayed in over the last 3 years coming to Whitby. Can't wait to book again in 2024.

“Our second visit to this fantastic, well equipped and cosy cottage with private parking and a short walk into Whitby centre.”

Pauline September 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at the cottage.”

There was everything you could possibly need and the information folder was very helpful. The cottage was extremely clean the only problem there was that the single beds in the smaller room were not very comfortable. The location was perfect a short walk from the centre of town and I would definitely love to stay there again and would recommend the cottage to anyone

- Pauline, September 2023

Hello Pauline, Thank you for your review. We are delighted you enjoyed it enough to want to return. You are welcome back anytime. Try our sister cottage Sailers Cottage on Church Street. Kind regards Craig Property Owner
Diane August 2023

“Good position to the town .”

Well equipped kitchen. The vendor supplied milk and a cake on arrival which was a lovely touch , thank you Unfortunately the the bathroom was sub standard . Mould on the walls ,on the fixtures ,dirty and black mould to the sealant around the bath and on the floor and skirting board ,Extensive rust to the metal fixtures and black mould to the shower door ,shower hose and vent. The jacuzzi was broken ,there were hairs and stains on the floor ,it really was not a place you wanted to wash ,I have lots of photos but unable to load on this site .Lastly you are then asked to strip your beds and dispose of your rubbish ,something I’ve never been asked to do when paying premium prices to stay somewhere, this may be standard ,but I have not come across it before . Whitby is a lovely place to stay for a bank holiday weekend

- Diane, August 2023
Angela August 2023

“Great property and ideal location.”

Could do with a handrail on the bath to help getting out. Beds a little on the soft side but that's just my personal preference. Overall had a fantastic week in whitby.

Christopher July 2023

“Our second visit was up to our expectations and quickly settled in.”

Good view of the railway and the Esk. Would recommend Porters Rest.

Linda June 2023

“Shower so stiff to turn off had to ask my husband to do it Asked to put sheets etc in bags on leaving but only 1 small bag left Equipment absolutely immaculate.”

No jug for scrambled egg etc But! Lovely quiet clean property!

- Linda, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We take everything on board and use this to improve any future guest stays. Unfortunately on inspecting the property on your exit, it became apparent that you actually broke the shower and pulled it off the wall which made it quite difficult to use! We usually leave one bag for all bedding and it hasn't been brought up in the past but we will bare this in mind going forward. We thrive on receiving excellent feedback on the cleanliness of our property so we are pleased you found it immaculate. Thank you again for your comment. Property Owner
Paul May 2023

“Felt relaxed and right at home as soon as we arrived, very clean and more than we had hoped for would definitely stay again and also recommend to family and friends.”

It was only a short walk to the centre of Whitby with the Coop practically round the corner which was very useful.

- Paul, May 2023
Christopher May 2023

“A well situated property.”

Comfortable, well equipped and modern. Would return again in the future.

Occupying an enviable location in the heart of the bustling North Yorkshire town of Whitby, Porters Rest is a well-presented terraced cottage which enjoys superb views over Whitby Harbour and is the perfect setting for a family holiday.

Inside, you are immediately greeted by a welcoming open-plan living space where the inviting seating area encourages guests to kick off their shoes and sit back and relax on the stylish sofa in front of the Smart TV or enjoy time together soaking up the delightful views over to Whitby Harbour.

When it’s time to eat, simply step into the well equipped kitchen area which has all that is needed to produce hearty food for the whole family and the adjoining dining area is set up ready to host long and enjoyable meals.

If the weather allows, then step out onto the patio area which has furniture on it just waiting for guests to take a seat and enjoy time eating and drinking alfresco while enjoying the views and breathing in the fresh North Yorkshire air.

Come bedtime and guests can make their way to the lower-ground-floor which houses the property’s two beautifully presented bedrooms, a twin and a double, together with a family bathroom which completes the appealing accommodation.

In the morning, you’re in the perfect spot to get out and about exploring with Whitby on the doorstep with beaches, a lighthouse, a great selection of shops and eateries to discover as well as the opportunity to take coastal cruises to look out for whales, seals and all kinds of exotic wildlife.
