Within easy walking distance to whitby. But on a very busy and noisy road junction. Has an outside patio area but was right on the road side. Inside is comfortable. Hamper was a nice touch.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay at The Gatehouse. The location is great for Whitby, we parked the car up on arrival and walked everywhere.

We found The Gate House in Whitby a luxury holiday home, very well equipped, in fact everything thought of. We did worry though about spilling hot drinks while on the velvet sofas, which were very comfortable. We were also aware how easily the beautiful tiled floors would have chipped if wed have dropped anything. Although we found the cottage suitRead moreable for us, it would not suit older people with mobility issues or disabled people. One bedroom is downstairs but the only bathroom is upstairs, to use the shower the roll top bathtub is quite high to climb into. Downstairs there is a separate toilet and small basin. The furnishings in the cottage were very tasteful and expensive, lovely paintings on the walls, the beds very, very comfortable, good hotel style bed linen. The kitchen was well fitted, dishwasher and washing machine ,plus an American fridge freeezer. 3 flat screen TVs, books and games to keep guests amused. Plenty of parking. There is a main road running by the cottage but even with the upstairs bedroom windows open it wasnt noisy at night. Hide

We stayed at this property last year and were looking forward to a return visit. However, after a 5 hour drive and looking forward to a nice cup of tea we were disappointed that the welcome pack this year consisted of a few bags of broken pieces of chocolate. when last year it was a jar of Kenco coffee, a box of teabags and a nice bottle of wine. WRead moree did not expect to have to go and find a supermarket straight away to purchase these basics that were supplied last year. Also, there were no slip-on slippers as there were last year. The TV in the lounge still does not work properly and constantly loses the picture. This is being blamed on a broken transmitter which I find strange as the TV's in the other rooms work fine. There was mould around the bathroom shower screen and black marks behind the taps. The less said about the plastic bath mat the better, it looks disgusting. All in all, this is very sad as it was excellent last year. We also noticed that other visitors sang the praises of the welcome pack so perhaps it was just us, but it felt like penny-pinching, and as I have said above, I could have done without having to drive to a supermarket after a 5-hour drive to the cottage. Although generally well equipped in other ways, I would no longer class this cottage as 5-star. Hide

The property was lovely and clean with high spec decor. However, it was located near to a busy junction with a set of traffic lights which, made it quite noisy. Should the weather have been nice enough to sit outside the noise of the traffic would have made it impossible to do so. In addition the outside seating area was left covered in debris and Read moreshould have been cleaned prior to our arrival. We would not rebook this property for the negative reasons outlined. Hide
