Guests that stayed at this property said

Cleanliness scores are mixed, with several guests finding the cottage clean and well-prepared, while others noted dust, cobwebs, and stained bedding. The property appears to be generally well-kept, but some inconsistencies in cleaning standards have been reported.

The location is highly praised for being quiet, yet within easy walking distance to Whitby's town centre. The convenience of the location and the added benefit of parking are consistently mentioned as major positives.

Comfort is frequently commended, with guests highlighting the comfortable beds and the cosy conservatory. Some guests suggested improvements such as an additional shower and better window operation, but overall, the cottage is seen as comfortable and homely.

Facilities are generally appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the garden. However, guests have pointed out areas needing maintenance and updates, such as the bathrooms and kitchen units. The presence of games and DVDs is a plus.

The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident from the welcome packs mentioned by several guests, which added a special touch to their arrival. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

This attractive cottage in situated in a pleasant location within easy walking distance of Whitby town centre and even closer to the train station, making it an ideal choice for families or couples wishing to discover historic Whitby and beyond.

Set over three floors, this spacious house boasts a double aspect garden room which opens onto a lawned garden – a lovely place to dine al fresco in the warmer months. There is also private parking for one car, a real bonus in Whitby’s bustling centre.

From the entrance hall, head into a large, split level area with a warm, welcoming sitting room with gas fired wood burning-style stove, then down to a large, well equipped kitchen with table and chairs. There’s a handy separate utility room nearby. A delightful, double aspect garden room leads off from the kitchen, providing a peaceful spot to enjoy a cuppa whilst reading the morning papers or simply enjoy sunlit views of the garden.

The first floor has two bedrooms; a large double which overlooks the garden, plus a pretty single bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin and WC. In the house bathroom, the soothing Jacuzzi bath is heaven after a bracing coastal walk!

To the second floor is a twin bedroom.

Lawned garden with seating and a BBQ.

Close by, Whitby marina is the place to watch fishing and pleasure boats come and go into the harbour, passing under the swing bridge which links the ‘old town’. In August, the Whitby regatta is a superb event showcasing yacht and rowing races, and has expanded over the years to include a large fair, fireworks and Red Arrows display. There are no shortages of fantastic fish restaurants and the waterfront is dotted with lovely bars with outdoor seating. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum provides a fascinating insight into Whitby’s most famous seafaring son.

The Yorkshire coastline encompasses some of the UKs most rugged and beautiful countryside. For unspoilt scenery, try the coastal walking paths around the pretty fishing villages of Robin Hood’s Bay or Staithes.

Perfectly located for discovering all the heritage coast has to offer, Damson Cottage is a welcoming place to stay at any time of the year.

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.
