  • "A lovely property with parking which is a big bonus."

    It is very spacious and was very clean and it felt private too. No silly "house" rules either and the welcome pack was very nice especially the local baker's biscuits! All on one level was another bonus. It's a far step to town but the location of the property gives you choices of whether to walk straight down and get onto the harbour/river bridge area or walk through Pannett park and access the town from the other end.

  • "Lovely apartment."

    We really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed walking to Whitby through the park at the bottom of the road. Good bus service, we got the bus to Scarborough. Plenty of parking on the road outside the apartment- we didn’t bother parking on the drive. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Loved the dressing room with the dressing table - great for contact lenses & make up. Good shower.

    In a great location, near to all amenities. Definitely will be back. I do think that blackout curtains or blinds in the bedroom would help

  • "Apartment was very clean & comfortable."

    All the facilities were as described on website. Ideally situated for the town centre & West Cliff area & made a really good starting point for walks both local & on the North Yorkshire moors. Directions to the apartment were spot on.

    Well appointed with everything that we needed for our stay. The property is walking distance from all of the amenities of Whitby and handy for lots of walking routes.

  • "Blinds needed in dressing area and bedroom as being on the ground floor you are overlooked, so we had to have both sets of curtains drawn in the morning until we were dressed from coming out of the bathroom."

    A few more more items in the kitchen would be appreciated such as a baking sheet. Thanks Julie

  • "A very clean and comfortable apartment near whitby centre (about 20 min walk) welcome wine, biscuits and milk was a very nice gesture."

    Will certainly recommend and would return as like a home from home.

  • "It is hard to understand why Covid is still being used as an excuse for not providing towels and oven gloves, especially as Sykes information stated that towels WERE provided."

    This meant that on arrival we had to go out to buy them. Bedroom would have benefitted from a mirror, ( 1 was provided in the lobby but was not near a plug for a hairdryer). Parking was very tricky, due to the incline of the driveway. If all apartments were occupied, it would potentially have caused problems.

    Convenient for local shops, far away enough from town to be quiet, but not too far to walk in. Went for long walk to Robin Hood’s Bay along the disused railway. Would come again.

  • "The apartment was very clean and comfortable, having parking was a bonus also the communal garden to sit in."

    It was about a 20 minute walk into Whitby. Whitby itself was a perfect place to stay, with plenty to see and do. We enjoyed looking round the Abbey, James Cook Museum and Pannet Park. Also walking round the harbour to see the boats, and the footpath by the river Esk. There are regular short boat trips around the harbour and a steam railway. There were many cafes, restaurants and pubs to choose from all serving quality food and drink. We found it a lively and interesting place to stay. Only one negative- the public toilets were either closed or flooded during our stay!

    Could be the age of the player. Also maybe a smart tv option so people can watch their own streaming sites like Netflix, usually not a big deal but with COVID-19 we didn’t have much choices to do things on a night.

  • "We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation."

    A small niggle was the poor internet connection, didn't intend to sit over my laptop while on holiday but I couldn't access the website to check my emails, disappointed with this. With reference to the information booklet for residents, it might be worthwhile including information on using Parking Discs in the disc parking zones in Whitby town. I've never came across them before and in my ignorance managed to get a £50 parking charge. I've found out since that the cards can be obtained free from many local shops, my fault, lesson learnt. Lovely accommodation though and the off street parking very welcome. We spent a few evenings in the very nice back garden enjoying a g and t before we walked into the town centre (about 15 mins) and plenty of taxis to bring you back for £5.00. We ate out for our main meals, having a traditional Sunday lunch at The Stables, a Thai meal, an Italians an Indians at restaurants in the town and of course the traditional fish and chips ( recommend Alexanders opposite the Irish Bar in town ) This is the first time we have used Sykes Cottages but it will not be the last, we were talking about booking this place straight away for next year!!!
