Salt Bay Reviews

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 .

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Lovely house and location - just beware of the seagulls!

Firstly, the house is very well located for access to Whitby (garage parking and a parking space was excellent) and was very clean with all the utensils, towels etc that we needed and is very new and well decorated. I will now explain the reason for my low rating of our stay: During June and July (at least) it is the breeding season for seagulls. We are very aware that this is a seaside location and as such there will be seagulls. What we were very unaware of was the lack of seagull nesting prevention - the gulls are on every rooftop and chimney in the small courtyard - chicks were everywhere, having fallen out of nests, including where the hot tub was - in my opinion any small dog or child could be in danger due to the gulls swooping around as the gulls were very protective of their young, plus 24 hour screeching, plus one gull resident on our bedroom window ledge, tapping on the glass all night (the pane of glass had scratch marks on the outside where the gull had continually tapped it). The gull excrement on all the outdoor furniture and patio during the week, we felt, was also another health issue. Consequently, we stayed 5 nights out of the 7 as we desperately needed sleep and our small dog was terrified, she is a jack russell and not prone to being scared of anything usually! The owner needs to at least try and gull proof the outside areas. Dogs also have to been taken out of the courtyard for their toilet needs as there is absolutely no grass at all.

Fantastic place to stay

The owners strive to be the best holiday let in Whitby, they did not disappoint. The property is beautifully decorated with clever use of space and luxurious accessories. They really have thought of everything within the property and the little touches they have considered to make your stay that bit better are fantastic. We had a wonderful stay, the hot tub is very private in a tastefully decorated outdoor area. The owners were fantastic to deal with and went above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely book again.

Whitby Staycation 2021

We travel a lot and enjoy staying in high end accommodation. We managed to find this property for a short stay in Whitby as soon as the lockdown was released, and we were not disappointed. The property is finished to a very high standard throughout and is in a modern and bright seaside theme. It is within easy walking distance of the harbour with no steps or large hills. There is adequate parking at the property. The outside area is a lovely sun trap in the afternoon to late evening, and is a lovely place to relax in the evening with a glass of wine or some Whitby gin. The hosts left some lovely locally sourced welcome gifts which was a nice touch. Overall we had an amazing time in Whitby and I would highly recommend Salt bay as the place to base yourselves.

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.

Robert

Great property and superb location. you need earmuffs for the seagulls sometimes but that is Whitby. Front door was difficult to lock but we managed with other 2 doors. Owners were easily contactable and very helpful.

Nicholas

Fabulous little place, great kitchen space. Outside sun trap with seating and hot tub a great bonus after all the walking. Car parking a real bonus for Whitby and on the quieter side of town. Maintenance called for a battery change in the smoke detector turned up within 15mins. the only one thing I would recommend would be a hand rail on the stairs, I didn't realise until I needed it after stiffening up after a really long walk. Will certainly return

Salt Bay is an excellent holiday home equipped to a very high standard . We had an amazing time with great weather so the hot tub was a bonus. The location is superb .. easy for walking out and driving around the fabulous area . We would stay nowhere else when visiting this area again .

Would definitely recommend staying at this lovely cottage. Ideal location and very well presented.

Catherine

A truly first class property in an excellent location. Only a 10 minute steady, flat walk to Whitby shops, pubs etc and a real bonus having the car parking spaces. The property was furnished to a high standard, we loved the hot tub. The outside area would be great to use in the warmer weather. Would definitely return.

Hannah

Stunning house with everything you need for an extremely comfortable holiday with an added touch of luxury. Spotlessly clean, warm and quiet. Easy walking distance to the town, parking and a hot tub!

Lesley

The property is in a great location, just a short walk to Whitby town centre. The garage & additional parking are invaluable in a busy seaside town. The house is modern, warm, clean, comfortable & stylish. There was a very generous welcome tray awaiting us! The outdoor terrace is secure for a small dog & in summer it must be lovely to sit out. We didnt use the hot tub, but Im sure itd appeal to many people. I have recommended this luxury accommodation to friends it appears most of the houses in Hogarths Yard are available for holiday rental. We had a lovely time exploring North Yorkshire in unseasonably good weather.

Steven

Visited Whitby a few times never disappoints, this however was our best stay by far, Saltwick is a fantastic property, exceptional clean, well appointed and very comfortable. Hot tub was a real bonus, as was the 10 minute walk to the Whitby brewery.

Barbara

Fabulous modern accommodation spotlessly clean. We had a fabulous time. The position was perfect. Five minute flat walk into the centre of Whitby. We would recommend Mr Chips, Passage to India & Whitby Wok for takeaways but the kitchen is well equipped for home cooking. There is a great double garage with remote roller door to keep your car covered. Highly recommended
