Guests say
5 Green Lane is a cottage with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and fresh linen. It's in a good location, close to amenities and a short walk to Whitby town centre. However, parking is challenging, and the property has steep, tricky stairs, making it less suitable for those with mobility issues. Some guests noted cleanliness and maintenance concerns, but others found it spotless and cosy.
Mixed reviews on cleanliness, with some guests finding the cottage clean and others noting issues with odours, dirty appliances, and a lack of thorough cleaning. The variance in experiences suggests room for improvement.
The cottage is well-located near Whitby town centre and amenities, with some guests finding parking nearby. However, the lack of on-site parking and busy road are drawbacks for some visitors.
Guests generally found the beds comfortable and the cottage spacious. However, concerns about the suitability of the stairs for children and those with mobility issues have affected the comfort level for some.
The property is equipped with necessary amenities, but several guests reported maintenance issues such as leaks, signal problems, and a lack of instructions for appliances. An update on some furniture and fixtures is suggested.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Just a short, pleasant walk along the harbour side into Whitby. Rose Cottage looks very tatty from the outside and the steps leading up to the property were tricky. Certainly not suitable for anybody with mobility issues!! The front door lock could do with replacing. The toilet seat was hanging off, hubby tightened it up but still loose. There is alot of damp in the twin room. The whole house could have done with a good scrub! All in all tho, we had a very pleasant stay.
