Brief Encounter
Lovely cottage property. Everything you could need. Handy central location. Fresh contemporary decor with some traditional details kept.To find the key door was tricky in the dark, address took us to the back with no number.Dusty dressing table in twin room.No charge for winter parking, bonus.

Really lovely!
Really lovely property! Very clean and lovely space. Location is perfect for visiting Whitby, and the street has lovely shops, bar/pubs and breakfast place! Would recommend! The car park near by was also free during certain months (October to March I believe) which is useful to know! Prompt replies from hosts!
