Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel B. 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay at Rainbow cottage was on the whole pleasant and trouble free. The owner quickly replied to my response asking for an extra parking permit. The kitchen setup is tight for all 4 people to use at once, but fine once we were all sat down. Beds were okay, lounge was comfortable. Shower was snug, even for our 11 year-old. Access into the property was fine for us, but could be awkward if you had a pushchair or similar. The location was excellent for exploring Whitby. Parking is Whitby, it's always busy and you just have to reside yourself to the car not being outside, it is the same for a large proportion of the properties. However it is possible to get very close for loading/unloading. We would consider staying again, it was excellent value for money. ##### Daniel B.

Could do with a shelf in the shower as it is quite tight when needing to bend for shampoo etc. initially a cigarette smell to the property so not sure if previous tenants smoked inside.

Sadly don't think we'll be able to as the only downside is there's a lot of stairs and my asking father sadly couldn't manage them very well this year. But for the physically okay it's a nice place in a great location ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenny B. 16 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great wee break The cottage is built unusually which my three kids loved. You go up a short flight of stairs as you go in and that takes you to a nice kitchen with plenty room for a family to eat in. You then go up another flight of stairs. There’s a large bathroom with shower, a living area and a bedroom.(single bed). You dig up another flight of stairs to two bedrooms, one double, one twin. The stairs are not an issue, it meant adequate sound proofing from each other and the kids loved it. The living area has smart tv, dvd (lots of dvd’s supplied) and games. Great time to reconnect with teenagers. The WiFi was perfect. We parked (using supplied voucher) about 100-150 yards from the cottage which was fine and it is a less than 5 minute walk to the centre of the town. ##### Kenny B.

The accommodation is perfect for us, so close to the centre, close to all amenities and plenty of space. Fantastic bedrooms with a view of the abbey, which was even more lovely dive it was lit up while we were there! Simon is always really responsive to messages and welcoming. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we come to Whitby. Thanks again! ##### hannah w.
