The property is down a narrow alleyway near the harbour and steps up to the abbey. Very close to shops, pubs and restaurants. 2 minuet walk to a beach when tide is out. The bed was comfy and the shower really good. We had an issue with the door lock being very difficult to open and as this is the only way in and out of the property it was a concRead moreern. There is a window but this small and had locks on both opening sides. Reported it and it was replaced after 2 days!! The kitchen in a cupboard had a peculiar smell which when opened spread to the living area. The information folder didnt mention what to do with rubbish as no apparent wheelie bin and no clues how to work the heating. WiFi hit and miss but this may be due to location. With a few necessary tweaks it could be a really nice property Hide

Great little cottage, centrally located in easy reach of all amenities. Surrounding areas is very rich in history. Also great location for trips to surrounding destinations like Robin hood bay and Staithes. Carparking can be an issue in town but I had no issue parking at the Abbey carpark in easy walking distance.

I note from previous comments in the visitor book that there were some adverse comments from a disabled visitor, this cottage is quirky,quaint and cosy but definitely not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Good location, quiet area. Bit dingy but to be expected down an alley. Tv and wifi good and shower nice and hot. Could do with some modernisation, a good redec and a proper kitchen. Main downside for us was the kitchen in a cupboard. It really doesn't smell good as you have all the old cooking smells clinging on to everything then being shut in. ARead more small functional kitchen would be much nicer. Overall had a good stay. Hide

This is my second stay in the last couple of months. It's a great location near the 199 steps for the east pier & for walking along the beach or cliff top to Saltwick Bay, Robin Hood's Bay & Scarborough which I've done many times.

Excellent cottage as its just behind the cobbled Church Street & near the 199 steps which is handy to view the town & harbour. The Abbey, St Marys Church & Cemetery are all worth a visit at the top. The coastal path starts nearby where you can walk down to Robin Hoods Bay & beyond. The cottage is all on one level so no tiresome stairs to climb its Read morejust what you need especially if you are in later life save the walking up steps for the 199. TV & Wi-Fi are excellent, phone reception was better by the front door. Top marks Hide
