Neighborhood
Set on the East side of Whitby, Soda Cottage is located just a short stroll from Whitby’s narrow medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.

Over the bridge, you’ll find yourself on the West bank. Head to Pier Road and you’ll find cosy pubs, fun arcades and plenty of fish restaurants. Continue along the lively road until you reach the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts. At the other end of Pier Road, you’ll notice the swing bridge which sits over the River Esk.

Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.

Getting Around
The centre of Whitby is a short walk from Soda Cottage.

Whitby train station is less than a mile away so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.

The location and facilities

I had to leave this property on arrival as it advertises wifi and streaming services which are non existent. The WiFi does not work at all. You cannot even access your mobile phone data inside this property. I have an autistic son who needed access to this and I even contacted Host &Stay before booking to ask if wifi was good and they said yes! Since I did not stay and had to go to a hotel, as they sent no one to help and did not communicate or help at all I have been trying for two months to get some form of refund. They do not communicate, don’t respond in the time frames on their complaints policy and are very unsupportive. They have not even offered to refund the £150 cleaning charge or £25 insurance charge when I left the property within an hour of arrival unable to stay due to my disabled son’s distress. Unsupportive, false advertising and non communicative.

The photographs do not give justice to this cottage. It was larger than we were expecting and beautifully set out. <br/>We enjoyed a very comfortable stay. The property was easy to find and the private parking space within the courtyard was invaluable. <br/>We were attending the Whitby 60’s weekend and were able to walk to the pavilion with ease and has access to all of the towns main attractions. A very short drive to Sainsbury’s and the surrounding countryside. We would recommend this property without hesitation

Spacious, great location, easy to park, comfortable bed and luxurious bedding.<br/><br/>A few items were missing, no large/pint glasses, no cleaning products ie kitchen spray, no toiletries provided despite being mentioned on the listing. A coffee table in the living room would also be useful. Many of the cupboards/windows were set so high up they were difficult to access.

Returned home from Soda Cottage today and miss it already. It’s a beautiful property in a quiet courtyard development about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Whitby. Loved our stay, met the whole family’s needs. Great location. Private parking. Would definitely stay again when we get the chance ?

The location was great, the space was perfect. Really clean and welcoming and well equipped. The internet didn’t work at all and when we reported it the responses were slow and not helpful.

The property itself is lovely, great location.<br/><br/>It advertises streaming services like Netflix etc, this isn’t the case as the internet does not work. With two young kids and a baby, the early mornings would have benefited with something for them to watch. Simply didn’t work. I reported it the first day and it took 2 days for a response and there was no solution. I didn’t push it as we were out of the house first thing and back late enough so tv was not a real bother, it’s just to be prepared that the internet and phone signal isn’t good at all.

I did not continue with my stay in the property to comment as the property failed to provide what was advertised. I had to leave due to no internet connection and having a son with disabilities who needed this.<br/><br/>There is no internet. The property advertises internet and streaming services. This is untrue! I rang Host and Stay before making this booking to check it had good wifi as my son is autistic and cannot manage without this. They stated the property had good wifi. On arrival I tried to connect to the wifi. It is non existent. There is no wifi, no streaming service and even the TV channels were not accessible due to no internet connection. The most disappointing thing is the lack of care and support. I called Host and Stay 3 times on arrival and they kept saying they would make enquiries and call me back which they never did. I had to vacate the property after two hours of distress from my son and received no contact from Host and Stay. I ended up having to book in to a hotel as they did absolutely nothing to resolve this. It’s been over a week now and I have not even received a phone call regarding my complaint and the stress this put us under when we were supposed to be having a nice holiday away! This is false advertising. There is no internet, no streaming services and I could not even access mobile data on my phone in this property. In this day and age we all need internet. I would not be able to stay anywhere without it and it is appalling to advertise this property has wifi and confirm on the phone that it was good. I could not even find a router.<br/>I would suggest if you need internet do not stay here and don’t trust the company to contact you about your complaint if you have one. I filled in their form which says they will respond within 7 days and this has not happened either. I will be continuing my complaint and escalating matters further. Just more stress that I don’t need. All I wanted was a nice holiday break for myself and my son and it turned into a nightmare!

Lovely house, really enjoyed our stay. Everything you could need is provided. Easy walking distance to the town and having parking is a great bonus. The patio garden is secure for dogs but there is no grass so you need to take a walk when they need a wee. Would highly recommend Soda Cottage.

The proximity to the centre<br/><br/>The lack of adequate (WiFi) though I understand that this has now been upgraded.<br/>Insufficient crockery and glassware to enable the dishwasher to be run on full.<br/>Dangerously high kitchen cupboards and shelves.<br/>Lack of basic kitchen equipment like oven gloves and washing up brush.

We have just got back from a three night stay at Soda Cottage. Fabulous house, big enough for the 6 of us. Great location, walking distance to the Abbey and town centre. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was lovely And in a nice position<br/><br/>Internet was pathetic was so bad it was under 1tb . Phone signal isn’t the best either . I rang before I went to see if I needed to bring a tv for my sons room to hook up his ps5 .i asked about the internet everything was ok but it wasn’t . Took 4 days to get in touch with owners of house .We weren’t getting kept up to date . My son is severely autistic with a learning disability .and PS GAMES are one of his obsessions. We had to get an hot spot on our phones for him . My daughter had to leave 3days early because you can’t possibly work from there . We couldn’t even get internet on our phone most the time . NO WAY COULD YOU USE ANYTHING NEEDING INTERNET . The owners say it’s not a guaranteed facility it’s a luxury !!!! . Absolutley disgusting . JUST DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU NEED INTERNET . OUR PHONES WOULDNT EVEN CONNECT IT WAS SO POOR . No compensation for the upset and stress of ringing up numerous times . WAITING IN FOR SOMEBODY FROM THE TEAM TO HAVE A LOOK !!!It took 5 days for them to even register with the internet provider . Nobody came to look at it . Owners of the house said we must of been streaming and using the internet <br/>Data . IF ONLY . So for anybody not wanting internet this place is ok . But in this day and age it’s not a luxury it’s a necessity . Kids use internet on a daily basis never mind adults . And anybody with children /adults with a disability and needing occupied by IPad or PlayStation forget about it DO NOT TRUST THESE ?

Just had a wonderful family weekend in this first class accommodation. The house is lovely, bright and airy. Bedrooms are beautiful, clean and with crisp white linen and towels, are very comfortable. Lovely big bathrooms with great showers. Gorgeous kitchen and lovely, comfortable lounge area. The outside seating area is a great sun trap. All finished off with some lovely homely touches like the beautiful lamps and mirrors. <br/>I would highly recommend Soda Cottage to anyone.

Excellent location and beautiful, spacious property with everything you need. Walkable to the quieter side of Whitby town, with everything you need in walkable distance. No problems with parking, we brought two cars and paid for 4 days parking with the Whitby tourist information for one of the cars. Everything was ten out of ten although the one small thing that did let it down was the WiFi, it wasn’t very good if you wanted to watch Netflix or prime, or something on a tablet or phone. The tvs worked fine though.<br/>Overall a good property and would go back there and recommend for families and people looking to do some walking.
