Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The cottage did not smell fresh and had a very noticeable stale, foisty smell. The living room was very small and felt cramped for 4 people. We were told by the owner the previous guests had broken the drain and the wash basin in the bedroom could not be used. However, I don’t understand why the cleaner could not empty the sink instead of leaving it full of water. We also noticed several cobwebs in the hall/landing areas. Also very well located the cottage is in real need of some tlc and a general clean and freshen. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peggy P. 28 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy The host responded to my inquiries promptly. The amenities of the property need to be improved. There was no coffee maker so I had to go out and purchase one that I left there. There were no extra blankets and it was cold so I purchased a fleece throw that I also left there. There were no ice cube trays and I could not find any in town. The lighting needs to be improved, there are two lamps total in the entire place. I had to bring a lamp from one of the bedrooms to the bedroom where I was sleeping. I was left one hand towel one very small bath towel, one washcloth and two dish towels for a 4 week stay. I purchased a towel and a washcloth and left them there. ##### Peggy P.

The location is excellent, has everything in the cottage that I needed. We had fish and chips on the first night was great to see salt and vinegar already at the property. I was a bit worried about the parking situation but I needn’t have been, it was easy to unload the car then drive and park at the main car park.

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian R. 8 Jun 2018 #### Old Fishermans Cottage The owners have done a really good job on updating this old cottage.It's on three floors with a very narrow steep staircase,so it is not suitable for people with walking difficulties.Nice compact shower with toilet and washbasin on 1st.floor ,.The twin bedded room is on this floor.A very nice and bright room.2nd floor has just a double bedroom with TV and wash basin.The bed is very comfy.There are ,of course,Wardrobes ,bedside tables ecs. Fridge toaster,kettle,TV,central heating also an imitation log burning stove,electric,.Access is from one of the main shopping streets through a gate and up some 10? steps,there are other properties in the same yard.There are no views,from the property,but you only sleep there,so does it matter? We enjoyed our week there.We would recommend it,but we do not think it is suitable for people with walking problems.Oh! we are both in our 70's. ##### Ian R.

Within easy walking distance to all amenities and local tourist attractions. The property is warm and perfectly maintained. Set on three levels the property has modern facilities and excellent for a family of four or two couples. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Whitby and in particular this lovely accommodation. Close to restaurants, pubs, shops and the harbour. You will not be disappointed with this well appointed accommodation. ##### ian F.

We were cozy even on cold mornings. A peaceful retreat from our busy days walking. Whitby is a lovely seaside town but don't miss the walk to Robin Hoods Bay. ( You can bus back) There is a brewery up by the Abbey worth a visit also. The cottage is fully furnished except for towels. We plan to return. ##### Alison W. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra H. 15 Jul 2015 #### Charming Cottage within Whitbys Maze of street's. Just off a main shopping street, not far from the swing bridge and everything Whitby has to offer lies this charming cottage.These cottages are hidden jems within Whitbys bustling resort. Cockle cottage was very welcoming and well equipped, clean and everything you would expect from a sea side cottage.( complete with seagulls , some that habit on a roof adjacent to the attic bedroom) this is by no means meant as a negative as it was quite amusing watching them from the bedroom with their babies. The you tube video does not do this cottage justice as the bathroom for instance has since been updated. Check out parking before you set off, we didn't as we were to be left a parking permit on arrival but it had been overlooked, so had to find a nearby car park and pay for the weekend.( you can only unload your car after 4pm and load up before 10 am near the cottage)Car parks are plentiful and nearby free after 6pm until 9 am so set your alarm for 9 am to pay until 6 then same again the next day ( worked out £6.50 per day) just glad we weren't staying for a week. We had a lovely stay with our 4 year old who loved the place, ( safety gate at the top of the stairs was welcoming ) you can also bolt the door to the attic room open should you want to listen out for your children in the night who's room is 1 flight of stairs below. Our only problem was a neighbour from a cottage at the back of the property ( we could just see their small conservatory, through ivy and bushes from our attic bedroom ) we thought at first it was a pub as the extremely loud heavy metal music went on untill 1am, but it didnt stop there, it switched to an extremely loud Tv documentary about the jews, we could hear every word until about 2 am when we must have passed out with exhaustion and headache .Luckily our son was at the other side of the cottage and on a lower level. This obviously was out of the owners control and reckon we were incredoubly unlucky that weekend, but laugh about it now. lovely place , cafes , shops and boat rides a stones throw away :) ##### Sandra H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dorothy G. 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Dorothy G.
