Living/dining area did not appear to have been dusted properly; magazines left by other renters had not been cleared for what seems like months. Main wardrobe very untidy, spare blanket and other... more |

The location was excellent for my 2 boys - they spent many an hour feeding the ducks and watching the trains go by. We have been twice now and would definitely go again Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |
Guestbook for 1837 - Biffins Berth
The situation of the property was excellent for exploring the region and the use of the swimming pool was an added bonus.

,Beautiful setting. Fantastic garden for kids to play in. Swimming pool on site was a great bonus. House very modern and comfortable.

,A lovely modern cottage in a safe environment. We loved having access to the indoor swimming pool and our own jacuzzi bath. The heated towel rail meant that our towels were able to dry in time for the next swim! Also like having a barbecue.
Mrs Fryer, Tamworth, Staffordshire

,The setting of the cottage was gorgeous. It was so picturesque and we spent many an hour playing in the play area with our children. The ducks came every morning which the kids loved. The swimming pool was an added bonus. It was close enough to Whitby without being in the hustle and bustle.
