Tucked away just off the most popular street in Whitby that leads up to the Abbey, this terraced holiday cottage is in the perfect location with restaurants and pubs on the doorstep, and just minutes from the beach. This fisherman’s cottage in a yard of Grade II listed properties, oozing with character, was built in the early 18th century. It is set over four floors, with an open plan kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, a spacious living room on the first floor and the bedrooms on the second and third floor.
There is an array of Whitby Jet shops and interesting small businesses along the many cobbled streets. Whitby’s famous kipper house is just along the road where you can get your fresh kippers for breakfast. Take the 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey and enjoy the fantastic views over the rugged coastline. For those ramblers amongst you, Whitby forms part of the Cleveland Way where you can enjoy fantastic walks along the cliff tops. The North York Moors is close by. You can catch the steam train to travel from Whitby across the moors to Grosmont (Heartbeat Country) and the market town of Pickering. There’s a lovely large sandy beach in Whitby, as well as many excellent seaside resorts along the coast including Scarborough, Filey, Robin Hood’s Bay and Staithes.

I stopped here for a break over easter with my adult daughter and 2 young children of 7 and 3. We had an absolutely lovely time, the cottage was very cosy, lovely place. I have very few complaints, the overall stay was really good, my children coped well with all the stairs, no problems there. Recieved the Keycode fine, found the box fine. Bit overwhelming unloading the car in the street, would advise if you cant carry your stuff, to arrive later about 5 as its less busy. Same to pack up, get it done before 9 lol. Found parking ok even on the bank holidays, used the permit. Lots of walking though. The only issues i had with the cottage, was no instructions on how to use the heating, only found out about the hive box on the wall from the previous reviews, also no batteries for the hive box or the TV control, so had to go out and buy some. Also had to wash bedcovers which was fine, (dried really well once heating was sorted), it was the mattress that was the problem, that really needs to be changed. Shower was wonderful! We also took our Amazon firestick for the TV, (kids)... lol worked great. Beds were very comfy, would definitely stop at ocean cottage again, but without kids lol Didnt really have much dealing with the host, which is why ive scored low, coz didnt have contact enough to decide if it was an issue or not, but when i did message on a coupke of occasions with a question, they got back pretty quickly. Have a lovely holiday! Xxxx

Not as expected
Pleased with the location and privacy but the property is in need of a general overhaul & freshening up especially with regard to the paintwork on the stairs and that on the inside of the front door. The rug on the floor of the main bedroom is grubby - no longer white. When adjusting the sheet on the bed, I was shocked to see the state of the mattress protector - a lot of stains on it. The radio in the kitchen does not work. Finally, possibly a minor point, there are only 3 knives in the cutlery tray so if 4 people stay & happen to eat in, do they draw lots to see who gets the knives?
We did enjoy our stay but you need to address the above if you expect people to leave good reviews.
