Unique property. Lovely spot for a couple. Comfortable for 3rd older child that can mange steep stairs but need to be aware that they would have to access their room via the main double room and also share bathroom. This was not a problem for our family who loved the fisherman's cottage.Can't beat the view. Excellent location - lovely spot on the balcony to watch all the comings/goings of people and boats. Well equipped.
Excellent location though not good for those with mobility struggles. We were already aware of the limited parking in Whitby town centre before booking and we were more than happy walking to and from the Abby car park. Beautiful property, great views, luxury bath very comfy bed. Great communication and instructions from the host. We would certainly stay again.
The property itself has to be in my perspective the best location in Whitby. When you open the door to the house youâre welcomed to a clean property that peels like home. Then when you walk through into the living room youâre greeted by two doors leading you to a fantastic seated balcony where you can sit and watch the world go by. Davina the property owner was very helpful and very polite. 10/10 canât wait to come back soon!
Fabulous week in Whitby at the Folly. You couldnât get a better harbour location in Whitby, we sat on the balcony watching the boats and drinking wine all week! Cottage is very well equipped and clean with galley kitchen and beamed ceilings with nautical decor. Very comfy bed and good shower. Parking in Whitby is the only isssue we had, eventually found a spot, got a parking permit from the tourist information centre just over the bridge (around 60) and left the car there all week. Lots of places to eat out, shops, walks. steam trains, boat trips, ghost tours, Dracula and some great cocktail bars!
Great location, very comfy bed and excellent shower. Some concerns over how clean it was and disappointed that there was no welcome pack. Living area could do with less tables, constantly have to walk around furniture to get about.
The view is everything with this property along with excellent locationBeautiful, quirky accommodation with good shower and comfy bed.Cleanliness overall good but let down by pet hair, a greasy grill pan and a stained table surface. There was also no light working for stairway.Worth pointing out that people with mobility issues will find the stairs to bedrooms and bathroom challenging.
This property is excellent, it ouses charm and is decorated to a high standard. It is very well equipped and in an ideal location.
We have booked again for next year.
We had a fantastic four nights stay at the cottage, it was clean and everything we hoped for, the decorations and facilities were spot on and the central location was perfect for us. I would definitely return and recommend to family and friends
Absolutely stunning location and impeccably decorated and furnished..what a gem!
Stunning fishermans cottage overlooking the harbour..beautifully decorated and very romantic..perfectly located to all the fabulous shops and restaurants that Whitby has to offer..we loved sitting on the balcony and watching the fishing boats coming and going..looking forward to another relaxing stay.
Perfect for 2 ...Whitby harbour views even from the loo....Coastal and French styling all in tones of blue.....take a look at the photos and see if it's for you !
Absolutely fabulous place. The location is perfect, the cottage is beautifully decorated and really comfortable and the views are amazing. We were lucky to have great weather and the balcony was the perfect place to while away the afternoon.
As an active couple with one small dog, this place was perfect. Great location, house was really comfortable, great galley kitchen, sitting room with gorgeous views, and a proper master suite with freestanding tub in bedroom with views out the window to the bay and beyond. The shower ensuite was also lovely. The shower had great pressure and again lovely views out to the harbour. We didnt use the top bedroom - but this would work well if you had one child of a medium age. We had 4 nights and really enjoyed it
If you are lucky enough to book this beautiful place you will feel like youâve gone back in time, quality beyond words, stunning location, sitting out on the balcony is breathtaking, the view from the bath of Captain Cookâs statue with a glass of bubbles is something else, prepare to be wowed in Whitby at The Folly. Thank you to the hosts and the lovely lady we met today as we checked out, love and best wishes. Xx â€ïž
The Folly is a lovely little bolt hole with fab views, very well equipped, warm and comfy, we knew access is a bit tricky via Church Street as we've been to Whitby many times so that was fine, so handy for all the shops, pubs and restaurants. The stairs wern't an issue for us but you could make it clear that you need to be fully able bodied for this property!
The Folly is a very special place. Its tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Church Street and is the perfect bolthole to enjoy the stunning views over the Harbour and out to Sea and to watch the fishing boats coming in to land their catch.
