Grumbles Cottage

Loved the location and facilities. Bedrooms nice and big and lovely deco. Downstairs very small but was ok for us and does show on the photos so was aware of the size.<br/><br/>This property was NOT clean, very disappointing to say that i paid a £60.00 cleaning fee and £40.00 service fee. Then i had to pay another £25.00 not refundable for a damage waiver!!!! If they are paying somebody to clean this property then i would have a word with them because it was not to a good standard. <br/> <br/>Also no parking unless you park miles away and find free parking, be aware that you will have to pay to park in the pay and display at £13.00 daily.

Location was close to were I wanted to be, was perfect for family of 4<br/><br/>Clear and ideally situated

Location good and really clean.<br/><br/>We were all cold during the stay. Not allowed to turn heating up. It rained all day and night that stay and when we got back in the evening we were all freezing....getting into a cold bed after being out in the rain is not nice. <br/> <br/>Check in isn't till 4pm....late really and check out 10am too early. <br/> <br/>Had to pay an extra £25 on top of the booking cost for insurance which was non refundable. It was that or pay I think £200 pound and the wording was.....we should get the money back within 2 weeks minus £10 admin. It would be easy once we had left for the owner to say any damage done and keep the money hence paid the £25....reluctantly

Great place, clean and everything you need for a good holiday.

central location<br/><br/>property very badly damaged & dirty. Not as description or as photos - would not recommend unless numerous repairs & maintenance undertaken to the interior of this cottage. Street not very nice & dirty also. Don’t know why forced to pay accident waiver fee on top of cottage price when the property was so badly maintained & damaged on our arrival. Trying to get refund as did not stay for full duration due to poor standards. Would not recommend!

Location<br/><br/>Dirty - walls - blinds - windows - dead flies - not dusted - bathrooms not cleaned as expected- leak from upstairs shower <br/>Dangerous stairs

We liked the location<br/><br/>Staircase very bad had a incident on the first night when I could not manage the stairs where the top stair turned which led to ringing paramedics for help as my husband could not get me up from the top stair as need a knee replacement my other friends had gone to bed so they could not help and.1 of them had just had a hip replacement if there had been a picture of the stairs we would not have booked

Wonderful stay, great location, easy check in<br/>Could do with a lick of paint in areas and the shower tray didn’t drain meaning water went through the ceiling. However host responded really quick

Location very good

Great little cottage in the perfect location for easy access to the centre

I felt the location was brilliant. Quiet. and close to everything . The inside of the property was a little smaller than I thought. The stairs had not been hoovered in ages and were quite steep and uneven, especially at the top. had to go down sideways. would be good for a young couple with no pets. the description did not say there would be a back yard but I thought there would be. so no where for dogs to go, it's a back to back property with only the front door. The rest of the property was clean. it's suitable for a weekend break. I would go back but without the dog.

Great place to stay! Perfect location literally a few minutes walking distance to everything. Only downside was the parking however we got lucky to park at the train station for the duration of our trip (although it cost us £30 for the whole time).

This property was fabulous, it was in walking distance of shops and parking, it is beautifully decorated and the layout of the property works well. We had a lovely stay.

Excellent location in the town centre. Close to everything. Host is a great communicator.

Location and style

Clean and tidy with everything you need excellent location

As usual whitby excellent host and stay delivered ?

Location was excellent <br/>Bedrooms great size<br/><br/>Downstairs a little smaller than expected for 4 people <br/>Check in time is a little late at 4pm

Location fantastic, had everything we needed, very clean.<br/><br/>Parking is expensive & there is limited off street parking.

Location was great. Car park nearby but we were lucky to get a space on the road and could leave it there for the whole weekend.<br/><br/>Tv on the wall. Wasn’t too comfortable to watch.

We had a great stay in Whitby. The only problem we had was before the stay. From start to arrival I kept finding more charges and problems with parking. I was told the price to stay each day. Then when you go through to pay you get a cleaning charge that was not mentioned. Ok then a few days before we leave I get a damaged charge which I have not paid before. Then on the day we leave to go to whitby we are told that I can not park outside the property as it said I could. I parked across the road at £10 a day. The free parking that we did find cards for in the property was for to far away . We loved the house very comfortable,and a great location in whitby. Had a good time. But not happy with run up to going.

Very convenient<br/><br/>Couldn't put heating on when needed and stair's very step if your elderly

Location of cottage is excellent. <br/>Everything you could need is there.<br/>Very comfortable, both the beds and the living area, 2nd time at this place, would recommend to anyone.<br/>Very informative, got message every day asking if everything was OK.<br/><br/>Nothing.

Love the property but it would be nice to have a other settee<br/><br/>Seating for 4 not comfortable

Quality of the cottage interior<br/><br/>Location <br/>Anti social behaviour

Lovely place, excellent location, very well furnished, perfect for weekend break.

Absolutely beautiful property, with every you could possibly want or need.<br/><br/>Would have been nice if it had been vacuumed before our arrival also wrappers from under the bed & there was someone’s old contact lenses at the side of the bed.

Lovely little place. Not much space in living area but a traditional old cottage renovated to a very good standard. Bed comfortable and sheets lovely and fresh as was the towels. Nice little extras such as milk, coffee, tea and plenty of toilet paper. All nice touches that you don’t always find. Music from Station Inn on Friday night was a bit loud but all quiet at 11.30 pm so not a big deal at all. Definitely recommend and will be back to stay again!

Great location in the heart of Whitby. Really clean accommodation with modern fixtures and fittings. Would book again.

Central location but right next door to one of the pubs - music so loud you can sing along! Perfect if you’re visiting for a lively weekend but not so much if you like an early night.<br/><br/>There were some issues with overflow sewerage - meaning the cottage was only accessible from one side.

Lovely little spot in the heart of Whitby walking distance to all the spots you want to visit, struggled with communication early on but believe this was due to a technical issue. Once fixed everything went smoothly

Loved the location and the style of the property<br/><br/>Nothing at all

Great location.<br/><br/>The stairs steap and narrow steps on the winder.

Qualityfurnishings,great shower, Location<br/><br/>Nothing

We really enjoyed staying at Grumbles Cottage. It was very clean and cosy. Great location and very well equipped. We would definitely return.

Stayed in the property before so knew exactly what to expect. Small cottage ideal for 3/4 people and a brilliant location close to all that Whitby has to offer.<br/><br/>More attention to cleaning needed. Very dusty everywhere and the bedroom carpet was full of black marks.

The cottage wàs superb great location and beautifully clean

The location and the fact that there were en suite facilities to both bedrooms<br/><br/>Nothing

Location was good very central

Great location

The cutlery was dirty,only 2 forks

Location was brilliant, very clean, well equipped.<br/><br/>Stairs to first floor were steep and narrow but such a sharp turn at the top that we struggled to get bags up and were on all fours going up, coming own was a bit of a nightmare. Pleased my husband with size 13 feet wasn't there as he wouldn't have been able to fit his feet on those corner stairs !

Clean and cosy<br/><br/>Stairs bit steep

Location was absolutely perfect , nice well kept cottage.<br/><br/>Would have liked to have had 2 keys to the property as we were 2 couples .

The negatives are late check in and early check out. 4 pm check in reflects most of the day you cant even enjoy the accomodation youve paid for . If people have to check out at 10 am why cant you get in until 4pm ? It doesnt take 6 hours to clean up!<br/>Also car parking means having to hump cases and children quite a distance to and from the car to house.<br/>The steep stairs are a safety issue involving children or anyone slightly infirm and should be emphasised accordingly.<br/>The good points are location for walking around Whitby and its clean , but cleanliness is to be expected of any air bnb.

I would visit this place again. It was lovely.

We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage was lovely, however we found it really stressful finding the place and unloading if you arrive in a car due to the fact that the cottage is in an alley way and to unload you have to negotiate a pedestrian precinct. This wasn’t made clear to us as the online guide doesn’t really explain adequately how to find the place. We had to get my wife to find the place whilst we negotiated a busy town centre. We then had to park in the station car park and run our bags across the road. Parking after we had unloaded was really hard to come across. We had to park the car nearly a mile away from the cottage. We were travelling with our elderly relatives and there is no way that they would have been able to park that far away and then walk back. This cottage would be best suited to travellers who are either younger or are travelling by train. Also there wasn’t enough cutlery for 4 people and there was no hand wash in either of the 2 bathrooms.

?

Place was really nicely done out an modern with great location

Location beds

Lovely place to stay, easy to find and central to Whitby. The cottage was clean and everything we expected. Slight downside was parking. We parked 5-10 mins away on a residential road. <br/>All in all was a lovely stay

Central location very clean and modern<br/><br/>The stairs were abit steep

Location was perfect, next to train and bus station so we didn't have to go far with our luggage. Was expecting it to be noisy at night because of the location but the only noise came from the seagulls! House was well equipped with everything we needed and there was a supermarket right across the road. Host and stay were extremely helpful and always responded promptly to any queries I had.<br/><br/>Didn't affect us but the staircase could be an issue for some as it was very steep and narrow.

Really lovely cottage in the centre with everything within walking distance, perfect for our overnight stay however due to the location we wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer. We were aware it could be noisy but hadn’t thought how warm it would be when unable to open the windows. <br/>Apart from that it was spotlessly clean and in a great location

The cottage straight away was impressive , lovely decor,kitchen & 2 bathrooms were good.<br/>Location was probably ideal fir Whitby. <br/>Very peaceful and quiet yet nearly on top of where you need to be. <br/>Amenities were good with everything we needed fir three nights also a local supermarket within 3 minute walk if you’ve forgotten anything .<br/>Would definitely stay here again and use host and stay in the future

Clean, modern cottage , overly comfy beds . Plenty of crockery, cooking utensils.<br/><br/>Outside dirty yard . Very small living room . Very dark cottage only one room light and bright . Very grubby seat cushions on seat benches . Had to remove them and put away !

Location was fantastic cottage was lovely and had all modern appliances<br/><br/>The only thing I could fault is that we had trouble finding the cottage and had to phone host and stay perhaps if they’d have said it’s next to Molly Browns across from the train station would have helped

I loved the place and its décor and the location. We stayed only one night but it would have been perfect for a longer stay, the space was good and it was equipped with everything you may need, even a dishwasher. We were 2 couples and a baby and having a common space but 2 bathroom was amazing.<br/>Only down point was that I found hair on the sink and the floor in one of the bathroom and the carpet hadn't been hoovered properly, with bits all over; apart for that it was clean.

Location<br/><br/>top floor bed had marks and stains on the sheet, top floor bathroom was dusty and felt unclean as if it had been forgotten. Middle bathroom and kitchen were fine

EXCELLENT<br/><br/>CLEAN AND BRIGHT

Beautiful little apartment facilities were great, Spotless on arrival Location was perfect<br/><br/>The alleyway outside was a little littered but not the apartments fault (just thought this was worth mentioning so pressure can be put on the authorities responsible) I am nit picking here)

A fabulous stay in the heart of Whitby. Comfortable, stylish and clean accommodation. Loved that we were so close to all the restaurants, entertainment and the beach. So much to see and do. Loved every minute of it.

A lovely little cottage in an amazing location. Perfect for a weekend away!

VERY GOOD<br/><br/>NOTHING

Bedrooms, bathrooms, cleanliness and how central the location was<br/><br/>Size of living area smaller than we expected and noise from pub nearby

Location was perfect and the decor was lovely.. Hoover, coffee machine, towels and toiletries all provided which was great.<br/><br/>Dog wasn't allowed upstairs despite being dog friendly. White walls were scuffed and needed a touch of paint. Toilets smelt slightly

Perfect location opposite the harbour, the only thing for us was the noise at night as it’s right next to a lively bar and trying to find it and get everything to the house was a bit of a nightmare but having been there if we were to go again would be easier! This place would be perfect for a girls weekend or a boys weekend as you are right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle! The other great thing is you have everything you could possibly need right on your doorstep <br/>The harbour<br/>A big co-op<br/>Dominoes <br/>Bars and restaurants <br/>The high street <br/>Definitely worth checking out

We had a member family rushed into hospital we notified the company and asked for a full refund and offered to show proof of what happened. <br/><br/>We was told we would have a response within 24hrs they finally responded 3 days later after the point that we would have been able to have any sort of a refund. <br/>We chased them every day asking for a answer. <br/>I wouldn’t book again with this company next time I will stick with Skyes…. Better the devil you know

super lovely apartment. Nice and clean with all modern decor. Carpets were soft and beds were comfy. Well stocked kitchen, dishwasher etc. and great location! only little grumbles were how small it was and steep stairs up to the top bedroom. Aside from that I loved it and would stay again.<br/><br/>there's no view, its a little small, steep stairs inside.

Lovely cottage, and really nice decor.<br/><br/>It was a very cold week and the cottage was quite cold. Kept trying to turn the heating up but it was constantly changed back remotely. Also the music from The Station pub was very loud on the Wednesday night but I suppose you expect that being close to a pub.

Lovely interior, great location

Fantastic location, very clean and lovely decor.<br/><br/>Maybe extra small tv in bedrooms

Wonderful place to stay, beautiful decoration! Very central and close to all attractions and shops, but this does mean there was bit of noise from the next door pub on the Friday night but that’s to be expected with the central location. Very close to the train station and there’s lots of parking nearby. Co-op is right opposite also. <br/><br/>Lots of amenities in the kitchen and the bathrooms and beds were very comfy. <br/><br/>Overall great stay

Nice Little Cottage, perfect for a work stopover

The house was in a great location as you literally stepped out into restaurants and bars. It was also great having two ensuite bedrooms of decent sizes. There were a couple of downsides but not enough to reduce the value for money. Firstly, the convenience of being close to bars and pubs also means that it is very loud at night! Secondly, the house felt like it needed a bit of tlc in places.

We had a lovely 3 night stay. Although compact, the cottage felt luxurious. The positioning couldn’t be more central - it was lovely to easily pop back to the cottage throughout the day. This did however make for a not so peaceful stay, particularly in the evenings. We were aware of the location beforehand, so we were prepared for this, and it didn’t spoil our holiday.

The Location was very good for exploring Whitby and within seconds from walking out of the property you are in the shops and on the front. <br/>The 2 bedrooms again very nice lots of space and slept well.<br/>Everything you needed for a few nights stay<br/><br/>The stairs a little steep to the second floor and could here the music from the pubs on the front but only till 23.00 hours .

Great little cottage, nice location, spotlessly clean, and modern

We had a perfect stay here. The property is in a fantastic location. It is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated; has everything you need! There are no negatives at all, however if you’re not very good with stairs then this is not the place for you. We would definitely stay here again!

location, facilities<br/><br/>nothing

Cute little cottage with all the facilities that you need. Great showers in the ensuite bathrooms. Nicely decorated and furnished.<br/><br/>Nothing really to complain about but received far too many texts, emails etc from the property company.

Brilliant property, great location, just a shame the nightlife caused concern. The front door was punched/ticket multiple times at 8pm and the noise from the pubs/clubs nearby kept us up at night.

Excellent location, lovely little cottage. If I had any negative to say it would be not having a downstairs toilet but understand this is not pheasanle due to the size of the downstairs.

the location, the decor and facilities<br/><br/>steep narrow stairs and lack of parking but that’s to be expected due to location and age/type of property

Lovely, impeccable presentation

Everything was great. Would recommend. I’ll be definitely going back again.

greattttt

Cleanliness and location are great - but stairs are very steep so guests need to be fairly mobile.

clean and comfortable, good location<br/><br/>texts and emails from management company were a little excessive

Just a great place and an ideal location to explore Whitby. Will certainly be back again and stay at the cottage.<br/><br/>Nothing

Decorated to a very high standard, spotlessly clean with everything you needed provided including a complimentary pint of milk in the fridge and in an excellent location for all the attractions that Whitby has to offer will definitely book again ??<br/><br/>To help guests keep the property clean I think a doormat would be useful

The property was warm and cozy, decor was lovely, Everything was provided for tea and coffee.<br/><br/>I was not happy that a THIRD party take a non refundable admin. charge after the booking is confirmed .Not normal practise for my Booking. Com bookings.

lovely, modern and clean and the location is perfect!<br/><br/>the stairs are quite dangerous I slipped down them twice and my partner was nearly caught out by them aswel. I would say they aren’t suitable for people less mobile.

Smaller than expected, parking not great which was a pain but the co-op opposite is £10 a day so wasn’t too far away. Stairs are slightly dangerous, wouldn’t recommend if taking kids/baby. Had a couple of issues with the electrics when first got there but they got it sorted for us very quickly. Other than that an enjoyable experience, would just suit a couple more than a family

excellent location nice and clean and quiet<br/><br/>bedroom door would benefit from WD40

just what we wanted for a weekend stay. Would definitely recommend

immaculate, spacious, the location

Excellent central location. The property is beautifully designed with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Would highly recommend

This house has everything you could need and its location is ideal to explore Whitby.

Lovely Airbnb with great amenities and comfortable beds right in the heart of Whitby. Highly recommend.
