If anywhere could be described as a home-from-home this is it from the boxes of tissues in every room to the hospitality box to the fresh flowers. Be warned though to note that there is no freezer or washing machine, to be forewarned is to be forearmed! For a week's stay, I didn't miss a washing machine and I really didn't miss a freezer either. CaRead morer parking could be an issue but we arrived late and parked in nearby car park overnight and left before 9am so there was no charge. I promptly found a parking place on Church Street - which we didn't need to leave on most days because there's plenty to see and do in Whitby and the trains and buses will take you to some lovely locations.

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage with everything you will need to feel at home. Beautiful well thought out personal touches. Located in the centre of Whitby a stones throw away from everything yet at the same time in a lovely quiet location where we got a wonderful nights sleep. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay in the cottage - it looked just like the photos and felt just as cosy. Everything was spotlessly clean, well equipped and super comfortable. The location was perfect too, with great pubs just a short walk away. A solid 10 out of 10 from us. We'd love to stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

Felt at home straight away, lovely cottage, so nice to have tea, coffee and other treats to welcome us on arrival too. Great location, cottage tucked away up a flight of steps, so felt cosy and was quiet even though so near to the town, lovely to walk back alongside the harbour on an evening. Would definitely stay here again.

Pear Tree Cottage is fantastic and everything is to a very high standard and there is great attention to details. A real home from home and a very comfortable and welcoming feel. The welcome pack was lovely and very much appreciated and we especially enjoyed the tea biscuits, and had to go and buy some to take home. There is also a shared seating aRead morerea with table and chairs to sit out and enjoy. Would definitely recommend and we would stay there again if visiting Whitby. Hide
