The Store Rooms in Whitby is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, central location, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-maintained property, comfortable furnishings, and the thoughtful touches like biscuits and dog treats. While parking can be challenging, the property's proximity to local attractions and the inclusion of a parking permit are noted benefits. The cottage's charm and the owners' attentiveness contribute to a pleasant stay, despite some concerns about space for guests with babies or the steep stairs.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean', 'spotlessly clean', and 'immaculately clean', indicating a high standard of hygiene and care.
The central location is highly praised for its convenience to Whitby's attractions, with guests appreciating the short walks to the town, harbour, and beach. However, some guests note parking difficulties, slightly impacting the score.
Reviews highlight the property's comfort, mentioning 'comfortable furnishings' and a 'lovely and welcoming' decor. Some guests find the cottage a bit small when bringing a baby or large luggage, which is considered in the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of a cot, highchair, and stairgate. However, some guests experienced issues with hot water and a washing machine, which affects the score.
Guests frequently appreciate the thoughtful gestures, such as the provision of milk, biscuits, and dog treats. While these are warmly received, it is noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed with every stay.
A fabulous semi-detached cottage, centrally located, yet tucked away in a quiet corner, in the popular seaside town of Whitby, Yorkshire. The Store Rooms was converted from a former auction house and has been immaculately restored, now providing a wonderful hideaway for couples and friends wishing to enjoy the many attractions this charming town has to offer. Beautifully furnished and decorated throughout, the cottage provides upside down accommodation, with a pretty double bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs is a spacious open plan living area with a sofa bed, with a pitched roof, quirky floor level windows and Velux windows giving a very light and airy feel to the room. There is also a well-equipped kitchen with a fold-down dining table and sumptuous seating in which to sink into after a busy day exploring. A two-minute walk brings you into the hub of this thriving historic town, with restaurants, pubs and independent shops all on the doorstep. Wander around the quaint narrow streets, enjoy coffee and cakes in one of the many tea rooms, or enjoy a cocktail in a harbourside bar. An absolute must are the renowned Whitby fish and chips, and a climb up the 199 steps is well-worth the effort for the panoramic views along the coastline. The surrounding countryside of the North York Moors National Park is stunning and there are many drives along this dramatic stretch of heritage coastline. A wonderful romantic cottage for a varied and interesting holiday.
The ancient fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, with its superb coastline and close proximity to the spectacular North York Moors. Whitby is a charming and atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.

We were told in advance that the fridge had broken down so we took our camping fridge - no problem. The property was very clean and the facilities excellent and as described. Close to shops and town centre. Only downside was not suitable for anyone with mobility problems - steep stairs to kitchen area. Looking forward to a return visit.
