    A comfortable cottage in a lovely location

    The cottage was difficult to find - we had to ask for directions at a nearby hotel, as we couldn't spot where we needed to go from in our car. There was a Nespresso coffee machine provided, along with several different coffee pods, but the coffee produced wasn't very nice: it looked like the machine needed a good clean.

    The cottage was in a nice quiet area despite being close to the centre of Whitby. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

    Lovely house, just needed a few small things sorting. Arrived to a broken Nespresso machine, the toilet seat was very loose & slid to one side when sat on, the ensuite shower was very slow draining & maybe needed drain cleaner down it & the join between the wooden flooring & carpeted area downstairs needed re-doing. The map wasn't accurate showing the property in Bagdale Hall itself but it was up past the back lane & had to get out to walk & look for the house, but other that that a great stay!

    Lovely clean, modern, tidy house. Great location with parking for 1 car.

    There wasn’t anything we didn’t like a minor grumble we couldn’t fathom the coffee machine, that was probably down to user error.

    The location was ideal & onsite parking a rarity in Whitby. The property was a nice size and would comfortably accommodate 5 although only 3 of us on this occasion. It was clean comfortable & modern.

    It was difficult to locate as it is tucked away, and there is no sign to help you discover it.

    The property was clean and had everything we needed (except a chopping board and potato peeler). The location was perfect and extremely close to Whitby centre, a stones throw from the rail and bus stations if you wanted to explore further afield. Will definitely go back, but for a longer break next time, 2 nights wasn't enough.

    My only criticism is that there were no bins in the bathrooms or bedrooms. And there were no toilet roll holders in any of the bathrooms. It would be helpful with better instructions on how to find the cottage. We luckily got help from the staff at the hall.

    This a lovely place to stay. Very close to the station and only a short walk to the sea front and town. It is very well equipped and clean with comfortable beds and furniture. I would definitely recommend the cottage and would stay again. It isn't easy to find you need to drive up the side road past the hall towards the hospital and you will see a large black metal gate the cottage is in there hidden from view.

    Wins on location but could do even better.

    Despite comments in previous reviews saying it just needs some finishing touches to rate it excellent, few changes have been made...a few pictures on the wall, a mirror downstairs, coat hooks on bedroom doors etc. It is a little stark. An ashtray is provided outside but hasn't been emptied or cleaned on either of our visits. The noise from the commercial facility next door can't be helped but does have a negative impact.

    Really handy for the town centre, and good to have off-street parking. The property has quality equipment, and the new sofas are an improvement. It's good to have a little outdoor seating area.

    Some of the facilities / amenities weren’t suitable for 5 - sofas have been upgraded since pictures were taken so now have 6 seats but only 4 outside seats, 4 seats at the kitchen table (however there is a breakfast bar right next to it with 2 additional seats) and 4 forks.

    Amazing location - couple of minutes walk to the front, property is setup with everything that you could need.

    The electric showers in both the bathrooms didn't work properly, kept going hot then cold. They could do with upgrading to mixer showers. Would of liked some logs left for the log burner.

    The location was perfect close to all amenities.

    En suite shower, pressure was very poor, either freezing or literally scalding hot and shower tray showed signs of a blockage. Water wouldn’t drain effectively. Sofas need to be steam cleaned or replaced, to be fair we always take our own throws with us, been caught out with this before, so we used our throws when sitting on the sofas. Communication needs updating to reflect changes, outside bins are not located in position suggested, they have. Even moved from Lobster Hall to Bagdale Hall car park.

    Excellent location, quiet but within easy reach. Facilities were great, beds were really comfy.

    We are a returning party of 5 adults. Lovely little cottage but we were disappointed that none of the suggestions we made last year had been done. As a party of 5 adults additional seating is essential in the living and dining area. Only 2 x2 seater settees and 4 dining chairs. No hanging space in the second double bedroom. No hooks in the bathrooms to hang damp towels. No mirror in the en suite bathroom. Also the front gate can be difficult to open and would benefit from a sign stating that they were for the cottage. Unable to empty the Bins as they not where stated.

    Great little cottage in a central location with onsite parking.

    Some of the decor could do with a bit of TLC ie floor boards move in the kitchen which can be a trip hazard, slight smell of damp in the bathroom upstairs when we first arrived. Also property has no sign outside or anything to give you an inclination of what your looking for when arriving. Feel a small sign on the wall would be very helpful as we spent about 15 mins driving round a busy area trying to find it before contact the management company.

    The house is in a brilliant location, very centrally located near the bus station. Perfect for my mum who has copd and therefore can struggle to walk long distances. Property has everything you need for your stay. Managed to also park 2 cars at the property which was an added bonus. Walk in centre/ hospital right next door which was also useful when one of our party got tonsillitis during our stay.

    We could not get the tv to work but as we could stream the programs we wanted to watch it didn't matter. The ensuite shower room could have done with a mirror over the sink a shelve to put tooth brush toothpaste etc and a towel rail to put damp towels on.

    The property was clean and tidy. There was plenty of room for us all. The facilities were excellent. There were plenty of glasses cups plates etc.
