The location was perfect as it is situated a street behind a busy street. The house was lovely with a great outdoor space. The property was set across 3 floors and the rooms were a good size. The kitchen had everything you needed and the house felt like a home for the week we stayed. There was only 1 bathroom, The stairs were steepish and windy but that is to expected for a fisherman's cottage. I would warn tall people that the shower is great but if you are 6ft+ you will not be able to stand up in it. We checked all routes to the property during our stay and were unable to find a step free access to the property. The best we managed was 8 steps which was easy enough with a buggy. Having said that Whitby is famous for its 199 steps to the abbey and steps to the whalebone on west Pier and so accessibility may not be ideal for all.
Very central to Whitby. Parking was difficult to find a spot but parked on the Pavilion carpark had plenty of spaces there. The cottage was lovely. Some people might have difficulty with the stairs as steep.
