“Brillant property really clean warm & comfortable.”

And we struggled to find some where at night that was dog friendly to eat. So orderd in our cooked. I loved the large victorian style bath which I made the most of after a days walking to soak my aching bones & muscles. Beautifull property with some period features. My dogs loved it & settled really well ...

“It was a VERY clean house and had all the things you would need.”

Yes it's on a hill and the walk up is hard but if you go the other way it's not. The only issue we had was the fire alarm going off which we could not

“This was a lovely clean cottage and felt like home from home, I would stay here again and I would use Sykes for booking again, this has been an easy to book and enjoy holiday with no issues.”

- Miss Robinson, July 2018
“Location was fabulous, just a five minute walk into Whitby centre.”

Accommodation excellent, clean, tidy and very comfortable, had everything you could possibly need. 10/10

“The property itself is well furnished, clean and well equipped.”

The two sofas are extremely comfortable. The double bed is also very comfortable but the two singles need replacing. Bed linen and towels were very good. The main bedroom could do with some additional extension leads as the wall sockets are in awkward places. We were very impressed with the heating system - very efficient. However, we were disappointed with the area itself and the VERY steep hill to the town. The outlook from the house was quite bleak, overlooking quite rundown houses and the backyard itself was very scruffy. We found the stairs in the house very steep and narrow and the two steps into the bathroom somewhat difficult to negotiate. The property description should highlight that it is not very suitable for anyone with any kind of mobility problem. After a day out, we certainly didn't look forward to going back to the house. On the positive side, the steep climb to and from the property was definitely good for our fitness levels and the dealings we had with the owner were pleasant and cheerful.

“Fantastic new years eve break”

Just returned from a long weekend away at this lovely cottage . There were four of us stopping here and we all said we couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. It was like home from home , the owner has thought of everything. . It was a warm spotless house with plenty of room. I didn't like the idea of the shower in the main bedroom but it served its purpose. They even left us a bottle of presecco and a tin of biscuits for the new year. We cannot recommend this cottage enough and will definitely be paying another visit in the near future

“Excellent property.”

Central in Whitby. Spotlessly clean. Had the home from home feel. Even had a gift of biscuits and prosecco left for us so that was a lovely personal touch. Would highly recommend

“Really enjoyed our week at 10 Elgin Street, Whitby.”

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with a lot of nice touches. We would highly recommend this property.

“Unfortunately I would not book this again my wife is disabled and the stairs were too steep.”

It should be mentioned that it’s not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties and mobility problems. On a plus side it was comfortable and clean.

- Mr Watkins, November 2017
“A single traveller, I found a clean and comfortable house, and the kitchen particularly was very well equipped even for dogs.”

An efficient heating system, so lovely and warm in November, and the wifi was easy to get going. I would be very happy to stay there again. There were minor snags so have this constructive criticism which could easily be resolved? The keysafe box was very difficult to get into on arrival due to its position. I'm not 6' tall which would have made getting at it somewhat easier! It's clear from the cottage photos that there's a shower in the bedroom (weird but ok for a week). What's not clear is that if I'd wanted to use the bath in the bathroom there was no bath plug, which may be a difficulty for people holidaying with children, and anyone using the twin room would have to shower in the double bedroom. There's a good quality hairdryer available in the bedroom but (sadly in common with many holiday cottages) there's no mirror in a well lit position in easy reach of a plug to make using it, and hair straighteners, easy. A mirror fixed to the wall at the side of the double bedroom door would have sorted morning routines.

- Ms Holmes, November 2017
“We wouldn't consider the property again because of the location it being too hilly ,plus the single beds were a bit uncomfortable for adults I would recommend it to others .”

The double bed was very comfortable and everything else was second to none .

- Mrs Coldron, June 2017
“This is a very comfortable well appointed cottage in a beautiful Yorkshire seaside town.”

The only improvement that we can recommend is to have a visitor book so that visitors can learn from others' experiences of activities in the area.

- Mrs Griffiths, April 2017
“Cosy cottage with easy walking distance into Whitby harbour”

Stayed for two nights. Cottage warm and cosy and well equipped. Wished we could have stayed longer. Really good base for touring other costal areas such as Robin Hoods Bay, Sandsend, Scarborough etc. WIll definitely return again.

The property

This lovely mid-terrace Victorian property is quietly tucked away from the main thoroughfare, yet only a five minute walk from the harbour in Whitby.

The house has retained some of its character features with original fireplaces and picture rails all adding to the charm.

The fully-equipped galley kitchen provides all the equipment and appliances required, whether you are preparing a delicious Whitby seafood platter or just serving a takeaway meal.

Following a day exploring this beautiful coastline or heading inland onto the glorious moors, the freestanding bath is a welcome sight followed by the comfy beds guaranteeing a good night's sleep.

Whitby is very atmospheric with its wonderfully evocative abbey standing guard above the town.

The town offers excellent independent shops, jewellers featuring the local fossilised Whitby Jet and quirky and traditional seaside ware.

Standing on the harbour watching the fishing boats return and then sampling their catch at one of a number of excellent seafood restaurants is especially rewarding.

Dalby Forest offers 8000-acres of woodland, beautiful scenery, rare birds, plants and wildlife.

The visitor centre provides lots of information about the forest together with a cafe serving snacks and meals.

One of the great train journeys in the UK is to board a steam train at Whitby and travel the route to Pickering amidst the dramatic scenery, hopping on and off at Goathland or Grosmont as the fancy takes you.

You can break your journey at these villages and appreciate the wild beauty around you.

Continue on to the attractive market town of Pickering and return by train in the buffet car for a delicious meal.

A delightful property whatever you choose to do.
