Host & Stay - Breckon Cottage

Cottage and rooms great.

Don't think The cottage is set up for cold weather or there is a better way to go about warming. two night stay 3 hr trip turn into four. arrive at 8pm drop the bags . 1st thing food .. had food back to the cottage ( a cold cottage) once we had worked out the radiators (electric) sat with our coats on waiting for the rooms to warm. In the end we said we call it a night only to jump into a cold bed . We can see the point of saving energy but if the properties are empty for a few days and the weather turns cold ? Also carrys on to the next day cottage now warm jump into the shower ( bad mistake) water freezing cold so four people having a very cold shower in the morning. If you rent the property for two nights you dont want to be reading how to set the heating and showers for half the day . 2nd. day very cozy cottage but dont forget to turn the the heating down to freeze the next occupants seems other guests have mentioned the radiators ??

The cottage was perfect. Great facilities, clean and home from home.

Location was great for exploring Whitby. Modern decor

Level of cleanliness was very very poor. Not vacuumed throughout property, crumbs over kitchen chairs, dirty glass on bedside cabinet, cheese left on cheese grater in the kitchen cupboard! I have contacted the management company to complain but am yet to get a satisfactory response. They just keep making excuses as to why the have not responded.

The cotteage was super warm on our arrival. Very spacious and plenty of room to relax in the evenings. Kitchen facilities were great & had everything you needed. Shower was great & beds & couches super comfy.

We did not have any need to be disapointed in this cottage.

Well set out,plenty of room,kitchen facilities all there even tea / coffee milk etc.bathroom was nice,good strong powerful shower with shower gel and hand soup provided,nice clean towels.

Well being a plumber and general handy man I spot things,first kitchen tap handles need tightning up and becoming stiff so on there way out,I would say new tap choose a different style with handles at each side easier to use.Some kitchen doors need adjusting to shut properly,you need to leave better instructions on how to turn the electric heaters on says wi fi but we managed to get them on just by pure chance, and the hot water needs instructions as well in a written book form.Bedside light in the small bedroom,the locking nut is missing to hold shade down properly,loose!.Front door catches slightly,double bed door fire strip coming out doesn't shut itself without a push.All could be fixed free by me in exchange for free accommodation 😄😄ha ha..As for location for a fit average person who can climb hills no problem, but an elderly or the or slightly unfit person i would say not for them, as its a very steep cobbled path to the front door.

Stayed with a baby and found beds good for co sleeping. Plenty of room downstairs for baby to crawl about safely. Very clean bedding and well equipped kitchen.

Location was quite noisy due to people walking past and seagulls. Doors creaked and slammed easily (annoying with a sleeping baby). No travel cot provided despite request. Bedrooms very hot in summer.

Fantastic cottage in a great location.Fixtures amd fitting exceptional.Done to a very high standard,we didn't want to come home.

Nothing to dislike here.Could not fault this cottage it's beautiful

Location Style

Large bins at the end of the alley

Great little cottage! Location very near the main harbour however the cottage is set up a quite steep alley so might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The cottage was spotless and had everything you need for a comfortable stay especially in the kitchen. Loved all the little touches like tea, coffee, sugar, milk, cleaning products, bathroom products. In the storage cupboard there was iron, ironing board, beach chairs, hoover, even a lovely picnic bag with all picnic equipment! Beds were comfy and bedding was crisp and clean. The cottage location makes the cottage quite dark so you need lights on for your stay but this was not an issue for us.

Few little things but nothing that would ruin your stay. Weather was very warm during our stay and the bedrooms get unbearably hot! Windows only open on safety latch (which i know will be safety policy) so you cant open them wide to get any air flow through. A fan in the bedrooms would definitley be a bonus for the hotter months. Carpet in living area and stairs cream coloured and bit grubby - could do with being updated. Shower screen is on a sliding hinge and came off its runner a few times during our stay. More loo roll to be left for guests as only 1 roll supplied for our family of 4 for a 3 night stay. With children loo roll us used for many other things and gets used very quick. No hairdryer - this would be useful to have in the room.

Great little cottage, perfect location. I would highly recommend, parking was only up the road at good prices, easy to find, had everything you need to have a lovely break, great communication from owners

There was a few small things, but nothing that would deter us from returning,
