Overview

Albany Cottage is part of a small complex of three accessible cottages in a beautiful location very close to Whitby, North Yorkshire. Off the main road but close to all amenities with beautiful views. Very clean and fully accessible to a wheelchair user, with a brand new en-suite wet-room on the ground floor, hoist and other aids. There are two double bedrooms on upper floor with bathroom and views towards Whitby Abbey, fully appointed galley kitchen with washing machine and drier. Hosts Jayne and Richard were very kind and attentive and dealt with any issues promptly. This is a lovely place to stay with the added advantage of being fully accessible; we will certainly be returning.

Transport & Parking

Large courtyard with parking for several cars. We also used a local taxi firm which was able to transport wheelchair user.

Access

Ramp to entrance on ground floor and wooden floors throughout large open ground floor living space made wheelchair use very easy. Stairs to upper floor.

Toilets

Brand new accessible wet room on ground floor, with handles and grab rails. Wheel-in chair for shower, raised loo-seat and rails.

Staff

Very kind (I got a lift to the supermarket when it was pouring down with rain - our host had noticed me walking and made a special trip); very helpful with any issues that we had.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

This was a very enjoyable fortnight spent in a beautiful part of the countryside. Accessible accommodation is hard to find and this was both comfortable and charming. The location is fantastic; close to Whitby and all nearby attractions (actually on the lane which leads to Whitby Abbey) but completely in the country. Main road is 5 minutes away and you can be on your way to other places. Highly recommended.
