Destiny Rose

We were pleasantly surprised that the house was clean and very comfortable after reading mixed reviews about this. The living room furniture is dated, but the sofa and chairs are very comfortable. The beds were a great size and comfortable. The bedding was good quality. The kitchen was well equipped, but some kitchen scissors would have been useful. The house is in a great location and it was easy to walk into the centre of Whitby from it. The parking was not a problem and we found space directly outside the house. In all we had a really lovely weekend and would recommend Destiny Rose as a great homely place to stay.

On arrival dead sunflowers on table, cracked glass, dirty oven, freezer not overly clean, garden neglected, bath mat dirty. Lounge and bedrooms spacious and comfortable

The property was very pleasant and overall clean,the freezer draws need a clean as does the oven,I appreciate that trying to get this done between guests can be difficult. Also a pair of scissors and bread knife would be useful unless we just didnt see them. Saying all this I would recommend this property

Property was good value for money, clean and two double bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. We made good use of the games, jigsaws and DVDs available. Also only a short walk to the beach, restaurants, Abbey and train station so we did not need to use our vehicles parked a car and transit van at the back of the property. The only issues we had was that the stair gate was too narrow for use at the top of the stairs I would be worried that somebody may try and use this and have an accident and there were only 5 towels available despite there being 7 of us staying 5 adults and 2 children.

Lovely accommodation, great beds, settees and arm chairs not very comfortable, had to give the place a good clean when we arrived, cooker hob left with food residue on it, coffee table still had ring marks and alot of dust everywhere, had to hoover through aswell, bathroom floor still had toothepaste on floor and build up of dust in corners, I've left the property cleaner than what we was greeted with, but once I'd bottomed the cleaning we really enjoyed our stay.

Looks old style but dont be fooled very comfortable accommodation. Very good facilities,we had a kettle fail but it was replaced and delivered by next morning. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone also short walk into whitby.

Lounge cushion covers could do with a wash and courtyard could have been swept but otherwise a great property and well appointed, I would recommend it and would definitely stay there again.

The house was spotlessly nice and clean and very comfortable,just a short walk to the harbour and shops. A lovely welcome pack of Tea,Coffee,Milk,Sugar and Biscuits. They was one slight hicup When coming in from the court yard to go in the utility room with wet feet from the false grass it made the tiled floor very slippy so we had to take the rug from the hall way and put it down in the utility room the problem was then solved.We had a lovely relaxing stay it was just a shame we could not take our two little dogs in the park which was a five min walk away No dogs aloud. It was good to be able to park at the back of the property. We would book Destiny Rose again, and definitely recommend it to any one thinking of booking this holiday property.

Destiny Rose was perfect for our party, 4 Adults and a dog. Lots of space, really comfy beds and everything we could possibly want or need in the kitchen. Even the dining chairs were comfy, we sat at the table and played games one night, it was great fun. The free parking for 2 cars is a bonus. Its a fair walk to the centre of Whitby, but we liked that. A very enjoyable stay.

This was our 2nd time staying at the property and we have just booked our 3rd stay. House is homely and comfortable, the beds are amazing, I have asked where I can buy one of the duvets from as slept amazingly with it. The arms chairs and brown leather sofa are not the most comfortable, however they are acceptable but you do sink down in them and slide a little. The oven had not been cleaned very well, there was fat at the bottom of the oven which smoked and smelt when we used it. Also it would help to leave cleaning products to clean the work surfaces and the yard, as this may encourage people to do it if available. Internet box could do with being on a shelf, it is currently on top of the shoe box, however it got knocked over getting coats or lifting the box lid and if placed on the floor the internet signal was poor. Outside yard was washed down when the dog had been out there, but I think the astroturf has urine soaked in, as one day it was fairly warm with the sun on it and it stunk, despite me washing the yard. It may be better without the Astroturf as it will be easier to clean and less likely to hold liquid. I was informed about there being staining on the main bedroom ceiling from a leak however we unfortunately had very heavy rain one night and woke to hear drip drip drip. An emergency repair was booked and later in the week we had heavy rain but no issue with a bedroom water feature. So fingers crossed all will be sorted until roof is replaced next month. Location of the house is brilliant, and parking for two cars is excellent once you master the reverse into the drive We have found some brilliant places to eat over the past two years dog friendly Rusty Shears off Flowergate The Yorkshire wraps are huge and tasty Dog even got treated to a portion of sausage by the staff Sherlocks flowergate We found this place last year and it is still as good Carrot cake is amazing as are the scones Coffee is good and always hot Chapel on the hill Brunswick st left card in the house We went on the first day and planned to go on our last day but it was shut. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the food was scrummy, with lots of choice. Fuzzy dog bakery flowergate Dream place for our dog, the owner makes a fuss of the dog and gives them a treat or 3. Lovely friendly shop, I was so pleased to see that they were still open. Beach and rock pools, wed only used the beach on the west cliff side, however on our last day we followed the path to the left at the bottom of the abbey steps and followed the street down to the jetty and pier from here there was plenty of sand areas and rock pools, will definitely explore this more next year. Pannet Park Whitby museum The park is nice and clean and good for children, we also found a community book library within the community garden. Museum is free for children or 8 for adults 12 months entry it was interesting with lots of collections. I did leave our tickets in the house if anyone wants to use to gain entry left with the leaflets in the dining room Its official my heart is lost to Whitby

We arrived to bowls on the floor of the double front bedroom room with water leaking through the roof. One bed had not been made up. We found a small maggot on the mattress, still alive and wriggling. I think it was a bed worm. It was dirty. Balls of fluff on the floor behind the doors and under the sofas. Red water marks in the bath. I made a complaint to the cleaning company, who arrived within 30 minutes, made the bed, hoovered upstairs and removed the maggot on the mattress. The lady was lovely and really helpful. The downstairs shower was not working, this was not rectified during our visit. The isolation switch was switched on. The owner has given us 125 refund. We looked for alternative accommodation, but none was available.

We had yet another lovely holiday at Destiny Rose. This is a great place to stay for a holiday in Whitby.

We had a great week at Destiny rose,both super king beds were very comfy,although there were 2 bathrooms the downstairs didn't get used to much as it was cold and no way of locking the door which meant the 1st floor bathroom had a few queues. The single bedroom was very compact when made up as a double.idealy i think if the property were advertised as a 2 bed with 2 ensuites it would be perfect.parking was useful at the back although a little tight.But after saying all of the above the property was clean and we had a wonderful stay. Ps,shame about the building work at 39,still drilling and banging at 930 one night.and the tv could do with being a lot larger.Anthony B

The property is comfortable, spacious and ideally situated for the beach and west cliff. Unfortunately we were plagued with noise from the building works next door with a lot of dust, and sometimes debris. in the yard. The yard is not the most pleasant with weeds around the sides including a 6ft sycamore and untended pot plants.

New microwave, deep clean needed, courtyard needs tidying up

Good size Holliday house, well equipped, good positioning & great to have parking at rear. Beds were comfortable with clean fresh bed linen & towels. Massively let down by cleanliness of the house. Hit by unpleasant smell & hovered on arrival. In desperate need of a deep clean as previously stated in reviews. Owner being mugged off by cleaning company. Outside area in need of some TLC. Dead plants in pots & on walls cluttering up the space. & possibly some Jays fluid or alike as got pungent when the sun hit it. Dogs urinal I understand dogs are allowed but without good cleaning inbetween lets it creates unpleasant problems. Spent most of our time out of the property enjoying the town & meeting up with some of the family. Would recommend Whitby as a Holliday destination.

Loved our stay at Destiny Rose. It is a beautiful property. Lovely, spacious and fun. The kitchen and utilities facilities are great though we didn't use them much. It's in a great position for the town. Parking on the road is a challenge especially when neighbours down the road put out cones to block parking! Fortunately there is parking around the back and I did get the hang of multi point turning to get out! Overall we loved it. We may well return to Whitby and Destiny Rose will top the list for where to stay.

Excellent stay well equipped and comfortable and character. Plenty room. Note to park at rear drive in to the driveway on right then back up to the yard. Then you can get out easy. Neighbor was friendly. Note sign does not say number 41 at entrance track. Whitby is lovely and Robin Hood Bay a must! 10 mins to town and museum 1 mins! Go to museum and see amazing items eg where the word hangover comes from! We all had fantastic sleeps really good beds. Negatives are really minor bedroom door doesnt close fully, lots dust in places not important eg under beds, cuboard top surface, curtains dont block light, promanade is 10 mins but beach is another 10 mins owing to the bank to get to the sand. Get a fantastic photo of priory in evening from end of the nearest pier. The light then nakes an incredible scene. Go in church next to abbey its very interesting and much better value than abbey. Thanks for a great holiday in a very good location and all important very comfy beds!

Hada wonderful time destiny rose is a beautiful place very much

Destiny Rose is ideally placed to visit Whitby, which is within walking distance 5 10 Minutes, and other surrounding towns such as Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay. It is also not too far from York, which makes it a great place to stay. It has very good accommodation, which was clean and you can log into all your accounts for TV buffs.

Very comfortable beds

Really loved staying at destiny rose,will come again thank you,really comfortable and clean.

The house could do with a really good deep clean, finding a pair of black lace knickers on the radiator in the dining room behind the curtains was not something I expected. There were cobwebs on the light fittings, some walls and ceilings. The cooker extractor felt very greasy to the touch when we used it. Not being able to get into the property until 4pm we thought that the property would be completely cleaned from the previous tenants. Having said the above the facilities in the property were good, dishwasher used, washing machine & tumble dryer, iron not used. Full sized fridgefreezer, microwave, kitchen was really well equipped. Beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms are very spacious. We took too small dogs with us and the enclosed courtyard was an added advantage. Position was excellent only a short walk from Whitby harbour. Our overall stay was good and we would consider a return visit.

The property was gorgeous and had everything we could need. It was great to be so close to the town centre and the beach and the on site parking was great as we just parked up and didnt touch the car all weekend. Our youngest is three and she managed the walking with no problem, although it is quite a steep hill down to town so bear that in mind. The downstairs shower was very helpful as we showered the kids after the beach trip without them getting sand around the house. Absolutely fantastic property and position and we hope to visit again some time.

This is a fabulous cottage. Beds and living room chairs are very comfortable and there is plenty of space. Kitchen is well equipped and you can cook. Hot water supply is plentiful and the double key access from front and rear worked well.The house is well located for Whitby attractions and bus stops, and the off road parking is a real bonus. We liked the house a lot. There are a few very minor niggles washing up liquid not provided only four dishwasher tablets and insufficient liquid soap for the number of bathrooms. These minor niggles were easily fixed. This house will be on our list for next year

I would highly recommend destiny rose, everything you need, home from home & an easy walk into town

We had another great holiday in this lovely cottage.

We loved the property. It had everything you could want. Great location and parking good. Had one minor issue with a request we had made, but after speaking to the friendly owner and his friendly house keeper turned up and sorted it. A previous occupant had left some clothing in a bedroom drawer. One of the beds needed a clean underneath. However this did not spoil our week and would return.

Fantastic location, able to walk into town without needing to worry about parking in town. Loved our stay so much that I have booked another stay already. Recommend exploring the little streets, loved Sherlock tea room flower gate also fuzzy dog bakery. So many places were dog friendly, beach is dog friendly SeptOct until May. From the house we were able to get to the beach within 510 minutes Beds are ridiculously comfortable and sorely missed since returning home. Kitchen has all the utensils that you could need for your stay. I parked outside of the house, however on the last night my wing mirror was snapped off pavement side, so for the future booking I will park around the back.

Beautiful house in a fantastic location with the added bonus of a car parking space. The most comfortable beds we have ever had away from home. Fantastic closed courtyard for the dog. Have recommended the house to lots of friends. The only slight negative would be that it could do with a bit of a deep clean especially in the kitchen, but it would not stop us from booking again.

We had a wonderful stay at Destiny Rose. Really good value for money. Excellent location. Only negative was there isnt an ironing board. There was an iron but couldnt find an ironing board anywhere in the house.

We had a great holiday at this lovely cottage. We've already booked to stay at Destiny Rose again next year

A cottage with parking that close into Whitby centre is a rarity and was much appreciated as we have battled with the Whitby street parking in the past! Though please label it better from the road as we drove past 4 times trying to figure out where to go. There was also plenty of space for a holiday cottage which again was really nice. One problem we experienced while there was that the recycling bin for the property was ABSOLUTELY full when we arrived so we ended up having to take ALL our recycling home with us, which was not ideal. I also dropped an earring at one point and it rolled under the bed. I wish I hadn't stuck my hand under there to get it out again! Looking under the bed back bedroom there was a thick layer of dust and odds and ends that previous other tenants had clearly lost. Under the bed had clearly not been cleaned out for some time though the cleanliness of the rest of the cottage seemed to be fine. It wouldn't take much to just get a swiffer brush under there

No pizza cutter No oven gloves 1 x tea towel only No kitchen tongues Outside back light didnt work Front bedroom bedside light didnt work Blinds in bedroom full of dust Adverts advise games and dvds available. Non available Paperwork indicates games and dvds withdrawn due to covid rules ???

A well equipped and comfortable house with good parking and well situated for the west beach and town. Unfortunately, as per other recent comments, it is let down by poor cleaning the microwave was filthy and we had to clean the drain in the downstairs shower to prevent it flooding the room. Some TLC required, e.g. loose toilet seats, ill fitting back gate, the security light in the yard stays on all the time, the drain by the front door blocked with soil. Lots of potential if better cared for.

Tired decor and furniture, difficult parking, beds comfy, facilities fine, needs a deep clean. Good location for whitby bus tour, easy walk to beach for younger legs, otherwise an effort, but doable. Front garden overgrown and unkempt. Slightly underwhelmed compared with 6 similar cottages over the last two years. Not bad but not impressive either, could be much better with some tlc. Seriously let down by the cleaners.

Although we did have a pleasant stay there were a few issues, the tap in the utility room was completely detached from the sink, the half door doesnt stay closed when the bolt is on, the back gate was difficult to close on the latch and to put the bolt on to remain shut, rooms downstairs need a deep clean as the skirting boards were filthy and there was mud splashed under radiator in the living room, toilet seat in upstairs bathroom needs attention as it was loose, the back bedroom had dirty socks left under bed from previous occupants

The tiny back yard is a bit untidy the gatedoor doesn't close properly, inside ok the front room is rather dated and settee not comfortable, kitchen all good , upstairs bathroom shower enclosure needs a clean filthyblack round base on top of Bath, overall the house does need a complete deep clean ,it's as tho everything has been rushed for next occupants thank you

Very spacious comfortable house with the added bonus of private parking and an outside area to enjoy the sun Quick easy walk to the centre and the beach.
