The cottage is perfectly placed to walk into Whitby.
The cottage is perfectly placed to walk into Whitby. The local pub is great and is open good hours. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. There was a problem with the drains on arrival, but the owner met us there to explain and it was all sorted the following morning.
