Salt Bay Reviews

Saltbay is an amazing property with everything we needed for our weeks stay. A great location for exploring Whitby and the surrounding areas. We loved the hot tub, it was very relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Thank you for making our holiday so wonderful!

Lovely stay and a great house. Would highly recommend, only thing Id change is a slightly bigger double bed and for families staying the week have a hot tub clean built into the stay. But ultimately still brilliant stay and Whitby fantastic

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at salt bay. The property is well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Very easy access to walk into Whitby and a fantastic area to sit outside when the weather was nice. The only problem we encountered was no hand rail on the stairs. We would definitely book salt bay again.

Gorgeous property, fantastic communication with the owner. The hot tub was a massive plus. Would definitely stay again.

Belinda

The property was very comfortable, thoughtfully designed, with the lounge and kitchen being very spacious. Having a lockable garage and car space for two cars on site, was a real bonus. All the kitchen equipment and utensils were excellent and plentiful. The hot tub was well kept, clean and warm. The property is within easy walking distance in to Whitby and all its amenities. I would be happy to share this first part of the review. However, we requested a high chair and travel cot as our granddaughter was visiting overnight. Unfortunately, the high chair had mould on the straps and seat and the red cot side on the travel cot would not lock, so we were unable to use either. I have photographs of both, should the owner wish to see them.

Dianne

Perfect home from home, everything you need. Either stay in and cook in brilliantly equipped kitchen even the veg peeler! or go out exploring. Garage a very welcome feature. Hot tub just whats needed after a day out exploring, especially if the weather is a bit challenging! A peaceful location too.

We had a great stay thanks so much. The welcome tray, robes and slippers were a lovely touch that we werent expecting. If we come back to Whitby, well definitely book again!! Only minor feedback is that the bedrooms are incredibly light from very early in the morning the blinds offer almost no protection from the sun, which meant I was often wide awake from the time the sun came up not long after 4am. I would have felt more rested had there been blackout roller blinds or curtains. I appreciate we also stayed in the middle of a heatwave, but a couple of fans would have also made the evenings a bit more comfortable.

Salt Bay is a beautiful house in a quiet, private courtyard with everything you could need or want for a family holiday in Whitby. It is in a great location being only a short walk from everything that Whitby has to offer. It is certainly worthy of the 5 star rating and having the hot tub was a real welcome bonus. Thank you for a lovely stay, we would not hesitate to book this house again.

Excellent accommodation 10 mins walk from the centre of Whitby. Outstanding breakfast kitchen with folding doors and nice patio area outside. After exploring for the day the Hot Tub was a welcome spot of indulgence in the evening.

Really clean had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Good location for exploring Whitby .

Elaine

I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family, it was clean and provided everything you would need for your stay. The location was excellent, just a five minute walk from town. Having parking on site was a definite plus, and a deal breaking when looking for somewhere to stay in Whitby. The hot tub was great and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Overall a lovely property and dog friendly too.

Michelle

Wonderful stay at Saltbay, a little bit of luxury a real find. Parking, hot tub and easy stroll into town. Cant fault the cleanliness and facilities. Thank you for making our holiday great.

Check out at 9. 00 am was too early. Departing at 10.00 would have made our trip easier. Car parking was tight, as the other properties parked more or less in front of our parking space.

Hayley

A fantastic holiday cottage with everything you could possible need during your stay! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had a two night stay in this beautiful modern cottage . We went with our elderly parents and our dog . Location is brilliant as its a short flat walk along to the centre of Whitby . The kitchen outside area were superb and the hot tub was the bonus . With cranking in garage underneath it couldnt have been any better . Thank you for a great staycation .

Baby Seagulls were present so it was impossible to use the back door, people had been feeding them and leaving water so it smelt terrible, none of the rear windows or dood could be opened due to the terrible smell. On arrival baby seagulls were near the garage so when unloading we were getting bombed by the older seagulls, I know this happens at the coast but this was terrible, the smell was horrendous and we even saw rats patrolling round the house possibly due to the seagulls, food & smell. Certainly take back some memories from this place. Looking for some compensation really. Thanks Jason Lock

Alison

Back from a fantastic holiday. House was spotless with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Just a short, flat, walk into town to enjoy Whitby. Beds were comfortable and owners are brilliant. Well definitely be back.

Wonderful stay and the property was excellent, location, standard and access to local amenities. Highly recommended

Great accommodation, clean & comfortable. Loved the dcor. Super location. Only slightly let down by the oven doesn't seem to reach the desired temperature, even at 185'C

Valerie

Great location with parking facility for 3 cars. Property was very clean and comfortable and well equipped. Lovely decor and the welcome tray was a really nice gesture and much appreciated. Patio was a nice sunny area with comfortable seating and the hot tub was brilliant. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again sometime.

We loved our stay. Great location Lovely house that felt very comfortable. We hope to stay again in the future.

Darran

Excellent property in a brilliant location. Cleanliness and facilities are superb. Everything supplied.

Michelle

Beautiful cottage and fantastic location. Unfortunately the hot tub was of no use to us as it would not heat up enough to be able to sit in it. No offer of compensation which was very disappointing as you always pay a high premium to have a hot tub. Never had this problem anywhere else and we always book somewhere with a hot tub. Other than that the cottage was exceptional.

Property spotless and well equipped. We had a couple of glitches which were dealt with speedily and efficiently. We had an enjoyable stay, property only a short walk away from the harbour, we would definitely recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent. The jacuzzi was a welcome bonus after long walks. Very clean and well equipped. The only slight negative was the showers were difficult to turn on and off. Our daughter is already planning a return. Can highly recommend.

My second visit to this property and it didn't disappoint. The property is immaculate and every thought has been put into providing everything you need to have a fantastic holiday.

The property itself was excellent. Lovely place.Very clean every thing you needed. Great location. However the seagulls hatching all over the property and courtyard, had us awake 3.30am onwards. The noise Very intense at times. 2 chick's fell off roof one died.one was dealt with by owner of property Very quick response which we where grateful for,then on leaving another had fallen off into our area. We do think something could have been put onto off these roofs when building to make sure these gulls couldn't do this. Not a well rested holiday as we where hoping for.

Comfortable and very well appointed property, ideally situated with all of the town's amenities in easy walking distance. Public transport and longer walks also close by and other attractions in the area can be quite easily accessed by car, out of season anyway. On site parking a great bonus, as is the hot tub. All in all, a great property to enhance a holiday stay.

Claire

Perfect place to stay! Beautifully furnished. Fabulous house..immaculate..had everything we needed. Gowns slippers were lovely as was the bubbly biscuits and milktea to get us started. Patio great with hot tub and even the sun put in an appearance. Great location to explore Whitby and the surrounding area. An excellent stay!! Thank you!!

A lovely property, well maintained and very handy for the town centre.

Shirley

Beautiful property. Ideal location and a lovely welcome tray of goodies waiting for us.. Definitely would recommend to friends and family

The Cottage was beautiful and very well equipped and maintained. There was everything that you could wish for, even the Hot Tub. Its also very well placed for access to Whitby itself with a short walk into the Town centre. The addition of the electrical charging in the garage was also a bonus. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Alison

Gorgeous property within walking distance of the town centre. Very warm, well equipped and spotlessly clean. We only used the hot tub once due to the freezing temperatures over the weekend we were there, otherwise Im sure we would have made better use of it. Having the big garage and one parking bay was a definite plus point. Would definitely stay again.

Lesley

Really enjoyed our stay, however the hot tubs chemicals were really strong as soon as the lid was off the smell hit you, just sitting in the hot tub made our eyes hurt. Only other issue was the early check out of 9.

Alison

Wed only ever previously visited Whitby for day visits but the location of this lovely property allowed us to fully appreciate what Whitby has to offer. Its an easy walk to Whitby centre about 5 to 10 minutes, its a beautiful property and the hot tub was spot on. We will definitely return and recommend to friends and family

Christopher

Downstairs and outside area amazing. Fabulous to have parking, garage and patio in Whitby. Only short walk to all amenities. Upstairs tight for space and did not have the same wow factor as the rest of the property. Hot tub dated. That said we would highly recommend a week here.

The property lives up to all expectations, beautifully furnished and lacks for nothing . If staying in Whitby in the future it would be my first choice.

Carole

A lovely property in a perfect location. Well equipped and maintained. Owners very helpful and sent someone immediately when there was no hot water. All sorted in less than half an hour. A very enjoyable stay, thank you.

Excellent accommodation, first class! Furnished to a high standard with every detail considered.

Pros What a lovely property. Spotless everything was provided that you would need for a stress free holiday good quality too. Short walk to town centre and friendly local shops, pubs and takeaway. Cons Be aware they like their steep stairs in Yorkshire . Also we went with 2 teenage boys, so perhaps a bit small for that. No kitchen door meant noise travelled. Overall despite the small personal observations, we had a great time and would return.
