Host & Stay - Mallard Cottage

Great location, one parking space allocated to cottage.

We had no issues.

Great location, so quick to walk into Whitby. Also had a parking space. It was clean, modern and had all the facilities needed. Bedrooms were all good sizes.

As others have said, there are a lot of stairs going up and down, so I personally had to limit my journeys up and down the stairs.

Lovely place very near the centre of Whitby.

The outside area needed cleaning.

The property itself was very modern and clean and in a good location and had its own parking space

The property is wrongly named ‘cottage’ when it is in fact a town house set over 3 floors. The living room and kitchen are on the 3rd floor, 2bedrooms and bathroom on 2nd floor and 1 bedroom and garden access to the ground floor and access to each floor has quite steep steps. That’s after you have climbed 37 steps to actually get to the property. Travelling with 3 aunts all in their 80,s made it impossible for them to even reach the property let alone climbe another three flights of steep stairs to reach the lounge in the property. After a couple of attempts in trying to get my aunts up to the property (one aunt has COPD and other 2 some restricted mobility) we had to abandon our stay at Mallard cottage. However all was not lost as speaking to Host and stay manager Kayleigh she was amazing and very sympathetic to our situation and without hesitation arranged an alternative apartment, that was only 1 min away from Mallard cottage and was beautiful, all on the ground floor.

Location just out of town centre was ideal, we got a car parking spot on the main road next to park and never moved the car again during our stay, House was over 3 floors and all mod cons catered for, we will always look to book here when planning a Whitby trip.

no issues really could do with more kitchen prep space but we ate out mostly so not an issue, if you have mobility issues this is not for you, lots of steps up to property and over 3 floors within.

Excellent location and very comfortable. Well equipped and finished throughout. Generally very clean, though did find a pair of old pants under the bed! Wouldn’t live here as the amount of steps would get frustrating over time, but for 4 nights it was fine. Would definitely recommend it overall.

Location was so convenient, the rooms had lovely decor, kitchen had everything you could possibly have needed.

If I’m been very picky, the skirting boards needed a dust!
