Summary: The rooms were spacious and clean and functional, and the landlord was easy to communicate with. The property is located near a ramp that goes into the tidal River Esk. Ducks and gulls and cormorants frequent the river, and one can go crabbing off the ramp. It's a great spot for children!

Summary: First impression wasn’t great as it was incredibly tricky to unlock any of the three doors. The key opened all of the doors but not always. We often had to use a different door to the one we wanted to leave the house by, as the door wouldn’t unlock or lock again. Maybe replace the locks for less temperamental ones? Also when going to use crockery and cutlery they were not always clean, similarly kitchen work surfaces. Also a number of the window ledges and spare toilet rolls had long term spiders webs on them, which suggests not enough attention had been given to the cleaning. We think the timer hadnt been changed when the clocks moved forward as the heating came on an hour after it should so it was pretty cold when we were getting up on a morning. The location of the house was perfect and we loved being able to see the steam trains, walk acrossmthe viaduct for the outstanding views and watch the tide come and go along with the wild life that came as a result of the location. It would have been helpful if we had been informed before our visit that the road closures of Larpool Lane were to be ignored in order to get to the property. We took a chance and drove around the barrier as we knew of no other way to get to the house. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our visit and the voucher for reduced price drinks at the rowing club was very much appreciated. Overall the house suited us well and we loved its location.

Summary: 3 bed townhouse: Kitchen & eating area on ground floor Lounge & bunk-bed room on middle floor 2 double beds on top floor. Communication with Mike was easy and pleasant with quick responses. The location was great, stunning scenery next to the foot of a huge viaduct and the river a few meters away, a pleasant 15 minute walk into Whitby, 2 supermarkets within a few minutes drive and a quiet neighbourhood. On the negative side was that the heating was locked down to a pre-determined temperature & pre-set times. Mike said it was on 12 hours a day but the boiler was on no more than 4 hours in total over our 3 day stay. My wife spent the first full day there under a blanket. Perhaps we like it warmer than other people, perhaps not, but either way it should be our choice, not to be told how warm we should have it. Another issue is that the floorboards and bunk bed were extremely creaky and so noisy so that it was almost impossible to use either without disturbing those asleep.

Summary: Had a very pleasant short weekend stay at Riverside Cottage. The cottage itself was very clean and well equipped. Everything was well presented and information about the cottage and local area was readily available. Well worth a stay.

Summary: As other reviewers have commented, the location is stunning, we have stayed on this settlement 3 times now. The check in process with Mike was excellent, we arrived late at the beginning of the Midlands Feb half term (Yorkshire still in school). As warned by Mike, the house was stone cold on arrival (8pm) and warmed up slightly by 10pm but then the heating tripped off and the boiler (and controls) are locked off. So our first night was cold - we were not expecting this. However, the house warmed up the next day and the following night was good. Furniture, fittings, all work, albeit on the older side it seemed. Read emails well - have to request towels (i missed this, clearly my fault but a little unorthodox). Overall a good stay, just tainted by the heating system being locked off - not an issue in warmer times! Lovely location and great host.
