Mariner's Watch Reviews

The cottage was outstanding with one tiny exception. On the side of the master suite double bed there is a padlock which is positioned in a spot which means that when swinging out of bed in the morning it is very easy to catch ones leg on the metal sharp surfaces. Ouch! Very small criticism of an otherwise outstanding accommodation.

It is a fabulous place to stay, views are amazing, could just do with a little attention to detail on cleaning.

We found the property wonderful and had a lovely time. Only thing I would mention is that there was only 1 tea towel not the easiest when catering for 10 people

Richard

We had an absolutely amazing weekend at Mariners Watch, with everything as described and actually better than expected in most cases. Being ultra critical, we did have problems with the front door key, where it wouldn't quite align and also, even after following the instructions on the hot tub wall, we couldn't get the temperature to increase. Neither of these affected our stay and I do feel like I'm clutching at straws a little!!! Hopefully will be back! Rich

The property is stunning. It really is special. From every window there is a picture postcard view. Breathtaking. The property had everything we could need, the kitchen well stocked and with good quality items. It was clean and well looked after. There were 9 of us and plenty of space.

It was brilliant. We had a wonderful time in such a stunning location. You were responsive to the hearing problem even before we were really aware of it.

Samantha

What a beautiful house. Everywhere we went in Whitby, look up and you could see the house. This was such a treat. The bank and those steps though, what a killer!!

Vanessa

Absolutely stunning place, amazing, excellent views from all around the house, very clean and fresh. Would highly recommend.

Myself and my friends had such a lovely weekend at Mariners Watch. The house is absolutely stunning! With high end furnishings and finishing touches which show a lot of thought and good taste has gone into making the house into a beautiful holiday home. The house had everything we could need and the views definitely made up for the steep hill we had to use to access it. Thank you, we will hopefully come back again another time.
