Seahorse

Great accommodation, lovely communication with the owner, accommodation had everything we needed, was clean, very central for Whitby, we appreciated the parking permit and prosecco was a lovely surprise on our late arrival.

I would definitely book again.

This was our 3rd holiday at Seahorse, so I guess we love this place.

The only downside is that if a person can not manage stairs, then this would be an issue.

We really enjoyed our week in Seahorse.

It was very centrally located, and the parking permit was a great help. The flat was cosy and well-equipped. The whole booking ran smoothly and we would definitely recommend the property to others.

A fabulous place to stay, the standard was as good as on our first stay.

We hope to return later in the year.

Lovely little apartment.

Clean and everything we needed. It was a pleasant surprise to see the bottle of Prosecco waiting for us. The listing is not accurate regarding needing to bring our own tea towels! The owner confirmed that they were provided. Also the timings were not correct The apartment is available from 4pm (not 5pm) and needs to be vacated by 10 (not 9) Please will the office correct these errors. Thank you

This is our second break at Seahorses Whitby.

The accommodation is on the first floor of a duplex apartment. Access is really easy and the owners really accommodating if you want to discuss an earlier arrival. Very spacious, comfy beds , great shower and a lovely kitchen. Two lovely rooms a nice large dinning area with tv and settee and a lovely living room. Wonderfully warm and this time decorated for Christmas .plus a lovely bottle of Prosecco.

It is a fantastic spotless apartment with, comfortable beds, soft towels, and everything you need in the kitchen.

In a great location, a 3-minute walk to the swing bridge and the main street. The parking permit at West Cliff was a bonus.

A great little appartment to stay in to enjoy the delights of Whitby, within easy walking distance of everything.

The car park pass made parking simple, and also easy to travel into and out of Whitby to explore further afield.

We were in Whitby for the folk week.

The cottage was ideally situated for the events of interest to us.Some people comment of issues with the stairs but we didn't have any problems even carrying instruments. Seen much worse in Whitby. The windows look out over a busy street but noise was not an issue. The Sykes listing is wrong in two key facts - access time is not 5pm. The cottage documents show earlier than this but it is too late to know after travelling. It would be good to get a text on the arrival day to say that the cottage is ready for us, Further, leave time is a more conventional 10am, not 9 per the website. We were nearly put off booking by the incorrect times. Secondly the listing refers to permit parking nearby so one thinks of the scratch cards but the cottage has a permit to use at West Cliff car park for the duration of the stay. The property has a very well appointed: kitchen which had all required appliances except perhaps a tea strainer. Cupboards full of more glasses, mugs and plates that you ever would need in an accommodation this size. Sink drainer stand not the right size for the crockery though. Furniture is looking a bit battered but comfy enough. There are no fewer than 3 tvs but we did not use having the folk week entertainment Bedrooms are a bit tight for space and we had to move the twin beds across to be able to open the wardrobes. The beds are OK. Access to the bathroom is down 2 steep steps and in the middle of the night one really needs a hand rail to navigate safely. Slippers recommended as the steps dig into bare feet. The walk in shower is good but the operation is very stiff. Although there is a warning in the handbook you haven't read that in the shower on arrival. Better still just sort it. Nice towels but no where to dry them. The radiators are too close to the wall to hang them on. Please provide a heated towel rail.

Can’t believe we found a little gem in Whitby the best place we have stayed in.

The apartment is very spacious the photos don’t do it justice. It’s very clean and well looked after. Other people have mentioned the shower but we had no problems with it. The only thing it’s missing is children cutlery and plates. We are looking forward to visiting again.

Apart from the stairs the property was first rate plenty of space good beds nice towels all the amenities you need definitely stay again and good location

Stayed in Whitby many times.

The Seahorse was really excellent accommodation based over two levels which may be a consideration if you are less mobile than we are. Spotlessly clean great kitchen well equipped and nice to have a dinning area. Great added bonus a resident parking space for up near the leisure centre a five minute walk away. In a great area with an excellent fish and chip shop on Silver Street pubs bars and of course the wonderful Bothams bakery and tea rooms. Would recommend Seahorses and we will definitely be returning later in the year.

We were pleased to see Seahorse when we were looking to stay in Whitby.

We have stayed there and in the other 2 apartments in the building previously when they were owned by someone else. Seahorse is perfectly located for everything and the apartment provides you with plenty of space to relax and spread out. We really enjoyed our stay and have booked again for next year. The stairs up to apartment certainly give you a work out so if you're not too good on your feet there's no lift to get you upstairs so something to bear in mind. Thank you for sharing your apartment with us all.

a very pleasant comfortable apartment close to all amenities would be handy for at least one small handrail into shower room/ toilet to help with the two steps down just feel it would be a help but a rel good stay overall for our latest stay would recommend

We first stayed here in 2007 for a family break and have returned each year, usually over the new year period until the pandemic.

It is ideally situated for everything Whitby and the surrounding area has to offer. Our main requirements of a holiday property apart from the location are cleanliness, being well equipped and comfortable. This property ticks all the boxes.

A well-furnished flat with a kitchen, a dining room and a lounge.

It is in the centre of town, but was quiet both late at night and early in the morning. It was ideal for our stay.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and once again was really enjoyable with a good central location.

The only problem with the less-abled would be the stairs as the apartment is on the 1st floor. One thing which was not to our liking is the policy of cannot check-in until 5pm and must be out by 9am on the day of departure.

Lovely apartment.

Central and only a short to the sea. We had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Highly recommended x

Enjoyed our 2 weeks here for the 2nd year.

Hiccups with shower for first week which were all solved. Central Heating behaving very well this year. Still dislike the lack of privacy as the property is overlooked from property across the road. Office blinds or even nets would make an amazing difference.

Once again we had a lovely stay and would stay again, had an issue with hot water in kitchen but contacted owner and he was very helpful and positive.

In need of a bit of TLC eg Toilet seat needs replacing or fixing as many people have said in visitors book , it was like that 2 years ago, shower head kept sliding down shower rail, no shelf to put toiletries in shower The shower its self is great, kitchen tiles need grouting at back of sink, black mould Great location

Lovely flat, comfortable beds and sofas.

Really great to have a separate living room and dining room. Traffic can be a bit noisy with windows open.

The accommodation was perfect, central to all amenities and we also had a parking permit which was a huge bonus.

We would be more than happy to stay there again and stay in any other property in the Sykes cottages. Thankyou for making our family get together happy and perfect.

Been in this apartment before very spacious with all utensils and equipment your parking permit a bonus I think maybe stairs up to apartment should be made more apparent as noticed in visitors book a few guests found them a bit hard but very central for all shops cafes and pubs a really good stay and would recommend

Nice property, well located.

Property is comfortable. We had some issues with the temperature of house, the timings for heating coming on didn’t work for us and we were cold in the evening and boiling at night. Whitby is a lovely location and we would certainly recommend the town and this property.

Issue with shower tray drainage.

...solved by family member through Sykes. We were very happy with our 2 week stay at Seahorse. Personally would like window blinds as very open to property opposite. However, we are today hopefully about to re book for October 2022. Wish to thank the property owners for their patient assistance with our inability to use the key safe, not having used this method previously. Thankyou.

Wish we had been told about the steps down to bathroom as problematic at night as door opened out.

Outstanding apartment really clean and roomy handy for everything Quiet all you could want for a well earned holiday

Very enjoyable first time at the seahorse would recommend to others

Holiday was very good weather was great so that helped, everything about the cottage was lovely just found it a bit hard to find

Was very pleased with the apartment , better than expected.

The location was perfect and close to everywhere

Very nice spacious flat, well located and close to all amenities.

Just what I needed after a difficult 6 months :-)

Lovely apartment, close to Elizabeth Botham's, our favourite!

Surprisingly spacious. Well equipped kitchen. Could do with recycling bins.

Clean, spacious apartment with bright bedrooms with lovely comfortable beds.

Great powerful shower. It was a great bonus having separate lounge and dining room with 2 TV's. The flat had everything you needed for a relaxing break away, except a washing mashine. Just would have liked a clothes washer instead of dishwasher. Really good location within minutes of shops, beach. We enjoyed it so much.

Very comfortable Apartment.

Everything you need and in a good location, close to town.

The accommodation was lovely.

Light airy bedrooms with super comfy beds,spacious lounge and seperate dining room each with a tv makes it ideal for a group of friends or family, lots of space for everyone to spend time together or have your own space. Th kitchen is well equipped for those who want to self cater, the location is perfect to walk to a whole host of restaurants cafes and bars if you don,t want to cook. Bathroom has a large shower. the apartment is warm and cosy if you are visiting in winter. There are 2 tower fans provided for summer.A parking permit is provided for one car for a nearby carpark. Would definitely stay again.

The cottage was well equipped and clean.

We loved the layout and were really pleased with the location. Not having stayed in Whitby before we were unsure where the location was but it was great with everything within a 3-5 minute walk. The parking pass was an added bonus and also the fact you could get a 1hr parking zone for unloading and loading was definitely an added bonus. The Granby Public House just up the road does really good food, very reasonably priced and good real ales.

Excellent apartment, parking permit very helpful only downside was a dishwasher instead of a washing machine .

Great location, close to lots of shops but quietly tucked away.

Quite expensive but I guess it was peak season and a very large spacious maisonette. Very well equipped. Beds very comfy. Would book again!

Brilliant apartment, well situated, great facilities and the bottle of prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch.

Would highly recommend.

Whitby lovely place accommodation very nice with all facility catered for.

would go again

The apartment was lovely but we were a bit disappointed in the cleanliness.

We had to put all the cups plates glasses and cutlery through the dishwasher before we could use them. The glasses had lipstick on them and plates and cutlery still had food on them. There was also nowhere to hang towels in the bathroom a towel rail of some description would have been good. A gun to shoot the seagulls would have been good also. Other than that the place was perfect for our needs

The flat was just what we needed.

Kerry was really helpful and could contact her at any time! Would Definitely be back.

This was a great, central, apartment.

Would book again, so that tells the story. Would not be good for people with mobility issues.

Very nice apartment.

Everything you need. Would stay there again in the future.

good location

Lovely apartment,centrally situated,cosy and well equipped would stay again!

We had a fantastic week in beautiful Whitby, with Seahorse Cottage providing clean, homely and very comfortable accommodation to come back to after full days on the beach and swimming in the sea.

Fantastic hot powerful shower and amazingly comfy beds, as well as great kitchen, roomy dining area and welcoming lounge. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay in Whitby.

The cottage is very convenient and peaceful, espeically how central it is. Nice and clean and everything we needed.
