"Well prepared and clean, The Garden Apartment provided a comfortable place for our short break."
It has everything you would need, is in an excellent location to explore the area and has incredible views.
Please be aware that there can be some awareness that guests are staying in the upper floors of the main house and the grounds are shared between the two properties. This close relationship would make it an ideal option for a large family/friends holiday.
I noticed that a previous guest had mentioned some space restrictions within the parking area…rest assured that there is ample room, both to manoeuvre and to park.
I mentioned to the owner as we were leaving that it would be more welcoming to have the heating on prior to a guest’s arrival as it was cold on ours and therefore took time for the heating to warm the apartment. The owner agreed and had already made arrangements to remedy the issue by ordering a remote heating management system. This will benefit future guests staying during cooler periods of the year.
The Garden Apartment would make a lovely home for a holiday, spacious and ideal for 2 people or a couple with young children although it would be quite snug for 4 adults.

"The property was great, we had been to Ainslaby hall ten years earlier and knew it would be ."
I booked the hall and apartment together to accommodate all of the growing family, one one card, yet Sykes charged me two booking fees . I rang up to complain and was told they were two seperate bookings . Have now obtained owners details to book direct to them and will not again go through Sykes .

"Could be better signed from the top of the drive."
The parking area needs a good clean up as it gives the wrong impression as once you are down the steps the view is stunning. The garden is a bit tired and needs tidying. We arrived early and Estella rushed around to accommodate us and she is very approachable. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The garden apartment is in a picturesque village with a lovely pub.
Thank you for the feedback , we are working on trying to get a sign up at the top for The Garden Apartment and are aware the parking area , especially the bins area needs attention. We are working on this as best as we possibly can. Glad you enjoyed the Pub.

"We found everything in order and settled in straight away ."
We particularly liked the garden and view from the back window overlooking the valley which was inspiring. The village itself was relaxing and the local pub provided an ideal place to eat and socialise . Should we visit the area again then we would welcome the opportunity to book this property again . Only recommendation would be to identify the property address on the roadside wall as we had to visit the pub to find it on arrival .
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback as the owner we are getting signs made to make it clearer to people on the road where the property is located

"This is our second visit to The Appartment, we came around the same time last year."
The accomodation is great and the location very relaxing. We met the host on a number of occasions and she was very polite and helpful.
I would recomend The Apartment as a place to stay.
Thank you Paul for the glowing feedback and choosing to visit with us a second time , hopefully we will be seeing you next year !
It was a pleasure to host you

"Firstly, I would like to say that the apartment is lovely, private, cosy and with a lovely view."
On the down side there was a shortage of crockery and cutlery in the Apartment which meant that the dishwasher needed to be operated more than once a day. The towels were small and thin, in particular the bath towels which were clearly far too small to be bath towels. However, the parking was a serious concern for us as the location was occupied on arrival by 2 lorry horse boxes for at least half of the week, and by 1 lorry horse box for the rest - one was removed “for 2 or 3 days”. Thus there was no space for manoevering the cars which therefore had to be reversed either in or out of the long drive and onto a potentially dangerous road with a sharp bend nearby. There was no safe parking on the road. We were told on arrival that nothing could be done about the horse boxes. In addition to this, I was obliged to cut short a long afternoon walk as I was asked to return (on foot) and remove my car from the drive to allow exit for a large tractor with a bucket on the front and a large hay spreader on the back. There was a distinct lack of respect for the parking availability which was not prewarned within the description. We felt that we were in the way, The week was considerably spoilt by this experience.

"Thank you for providing a lovely place to stay."
The view is outstanding and such a peaceful setting. We had days out in Runswick Bay, Whitby and Staithes - all amazing places. Had a lovely meal at the Forge - very friendly and delicious food. Really enjoyed our time here.

"What a lovely apartment in a beautiful setting."
We've had a a fantastic week & the weather has been perfect!
Spent a beautiful day in Runswick Bay & a lovely day at Robin Hoods Bay. Saltburn- by - the- sea definitely worth a visit too- lovely beach, garden walks and pretty little town
Had a fabulous meal at Sneaton Castle- definitely worth going and reasonably priced- it felt very special. Great quiz night at the local pub- The Forge. North York Moors Railway a treat- book compartments for the full "Harry Potter" experience- cheaper too than booking individual seats if there are 3 r more of you. Thank you for a lovely week, we'll defiantly be back

"We had a very enjoyable stay in the Garden Apartment."
Our hostess was very attentive, and the apartment itself was very comfortable, warm and well equipped. The views of the moor were spectacular and for the majority of the of our stay we had bright sunny weather. We would recommend (for people who do not know the area) a trip to Pickering to see the wonderful medieval wall paintings in the parish church, Robin Hoods Bay for the interesting lanes and fossil hunting on the beach and Whitby itself.

"The outside of the property where we were told to park had rubbish laying around, as for inside the ensuite in the twin room smelt damp but if you put the fan on it just blow the damp air into the bedroom."
The kitchen knives were not sharp enough cut meat up for cooking, the tv we could not get BBC 1or2. I know it was end of season but the place just felt tired. On the first night the people above us had a party and with no soundproofing it's not good. The views were good and pub does good food.
Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay, we do leave our number in the guest book so we would have appreciated you let us know if you had any problems during your stay. Unfortunately, there is not a lot we can do about soundproofing with the above Hall due to the property being bulit in the 1940s. We do ask our guests upstairs, to keep the noise to a minimum, but there is not a lot we can do, about the guests above. Thank you for making us aware about the Tv, if you let us know we could have tried to rectify this issue for you during your stay. We will look at replacing the kitchen knives and we do update the property each year to keep it fresh. We live very nearby so we could have attended the property

"The instructions to arrive at the apartment described the property as ‘1 Main Road’."
There was a 2 and a 3, but no 1. The property was actually a large hall, but this was not made clear, which made arrival rather confusing!
The apartment was comfortable and well equipped, and the view from the garden outside was fantastic. A very peaceful and relaxing location with easy access to the many attractions of the moors and coast.
Thank you for your feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We have tried to update the key collection details to make finding the property a bit easier and less confusing for future guests

"Lovely location for exploring the North York Moors and the coast (Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay etc."
). It's a fairly small space with 2 bedrooms (both with ensuite) and a shared living / kitchen space, but it was clean, in good condition and the garden and the views beyond made it a great spot to enjoy some end of day sunshine. Would happily come again.
