Salt Bay Reviews

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

Rebecca

Beautifully styled inside and out,fabulous hot tub and the garage parking was a huge bonus. Approx 10 flat walk to the centre. The extra touches like the robes and slippers as well as the welcome pack,including the thoughtful milk in the fridge to enjoy a much needed cuppa after a 5 hour drive. The bed was so comfortable and the showers sublime. The kitchen was fully fitted with quality products,the outside space we couldnt really enjoy as the weather wasnt kind but thats what the weather does..many places to enjoy meals and drinks. Highly recommend this space if you enjoy that touch of luxury which we all deserve on holiday yes?

Graeme

Lovely property in excellent location. Parking for two cars v helpful.

Melanie

We had a lovely stay at Salt Bay. The house was clean with a well equipped kitchen and spacious lounge diner. Excellent location only 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants.

A great property in an ideal location for exploring Whitby and having a garage was an added bonus.

Salt Bay Cottage is beautiful and cosy but spacious. All of the rooms are well appointed and furnished to a high standard. There are lovely extra touches too, such as a bottle of Prosecco on arrival as well as plenty of little goodies to munch on and dressing gowns and slippers to use. The hot tub is brilliant and very relaxing after a day out. The cottage is only 5 minutes walk from Whitby town and close by is a fantastic little fish and chip bar. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend the cottage to anyone wishing a break in Whitby.

A gem of a find in Whitby the photographs certainly do not do this place justice, everything just perfect. Lovely bright and clean accommodation, private hot tub and private parking for 2 cars. Far enough out of Whitby for peace and quiet but only a 5 minute flat walk into Whitby. Communication excellent with owners. We will certainly be booking again, although we made great use of the hot tub in the summer this would be equally as nice in the winter the lovely outside lighting gives Salt Bay a lovely warm feeling in the evening which I am sure would be experienced in the winter months. Just Fab

Beautiful house, even better than the pictures, loved the kitchen which is very well equipped, the terrace and the hot tub are a real bonus. Very central for Whitby, only a five minute walk to the centre. Would definitely book again.

Tammie

This was a wellequipped holiday cottage in a great central location for walking in to the town of Whitby. The extra seating space outside was perfect when also having children and a dog. The cottage had everything we needed and the hot tub was a lovely relaxing addition. It was a great idea to provide guests with dressing gowns and slippers for when your are getting out of the hot tub. We would stay again at this property.

Absolutely fabulous apartment, could not fault it. Thoroughly enjoyed my 50th birthday break with the girls. Loved all the personal touches like welcome tray, dressing gowns, slippers, etc. Will definitely be recommending.Central for all of Whitby. thank you

Sophie

Well what can I say the cottage was absolutely amazing. The owners clearly have spent a lot of money to get it up to this standard. The decor was amazing, loved the seaside theme through out. Couldnt have picked a better cottage to spend our 30th birthday celebration in Whitby. The place was Immaculate with excellent facilities. The terrace at the front was beautiful, would love to return here in summer and make full use the of outdoor dining area. The hot tub was private, tucked around the corner which was amazing after a day of being out and about in Whitby.

Teresa

We had a lovely week staying at Salt Bay. The property was well located, well equipped and very clean. It was all we could ask for and the welcome pack was lovely and most appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS

about 9 Miles

Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area. There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.

Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP

about 14 Miles

If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.

Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP

about 14 Miles

Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.

You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.

Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS

about 16 Miles

Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially. A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs. Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy.

Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW

about 20 Miles

Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out. It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys. Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo. Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.

Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park.
