  • "We loved the house."

    It was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. The open staircase made the downstairs feel really spacious. I loved the Georgian style of the building. We enjoyed playing Cluedo and doing the jigsaw puzzles, as well as all the obvious enticements of Whitby

  • "A lovely cottage that we were delighted to stay in for 5 nights."

    Parking was a bit of an issue but it was half term, and we always got a space, even if we had to drive up and down the road a few times! The marina over the road wasn't an issue, we thought there may be a lot of noise from it but that wasn't the case at all. A lovely shower, which is always a bonus, and a dishwasher and washer-dryer were very handy for us. Well equipped and a few minutes' walk from everything in Whitby. We'll be back!

    Thank you for your kind comments. The property is an old cottage so will never be perfect but we feel its beautiful in its own way. Hope you can come back again. Property Owner

  • "Cutlery drawer needs signposting a bit better, took a while to find it."

    Bedroom needs a tv. Lounge tv needs updating. Too hard to figure out how to work it. Bed was very comfortable, cottage was very nice and clean. Very well equipped kitchen,had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Five minute stroll into town, reasonably priced pubs and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.9/10.

  • "Not the most luxurious accomodation but on value for money 10 out of ten."

    Lovely cottage in a perfect area for sightseeing, the only drawback was parking, once we had found a perfect spot did not dare move the vehicle. Facilities and cleanliness could not have been better.

  • "We were given wrong code box had to caretaker who we had to wait 20 minutes to arrive she couldn’t get access either rang someone else and finally got correct code , didn’t even apologise for mix up."

    . There was no welcome pack not even milk , instructions for leaving asked us to strip bed and put in black bag- no black bags provided. The bed in main bed room was rock hard came home early with bad back will not be booking that house again.

    Dear Mrs Greenwood, I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay. In regards to the issue of access, Sykes have the right key code as I had checked with them prior to your stay. I understand the housekeeper kindly let you in early, (prior to 3pm ), therefore you were still in the cottage ahead of time. I do apologise for there being no welcome pack with milk, this is usually in place for guests and I have spoken to those that provide it. The black bag issue has also been addressed and again apologies for this. I understand you were upset at the parking. Almost all the properties along Church St have no parking. It does state this on the information for the cottage on the website along with information on car parks locally. We have exactly the same issue when we visit. I am sorry you found the bed uncomfortable. The mattress is new and firm but has a mattress topper in place also, so I would suggest it is medium/firm. The cottage is as described and provides comfortable accommodation within an 18th century dwelling. Again I am sorry you did not find it to your taste. Property Owner

  • "There is a boat building yard directly opposite the propery, obscuring views of the harbour."

    It can be very noisy from 8am until 6pm and can still ne heard with doors and windows shut. As the house is only a couple of feet from the road, and the road is narrow, it is virtually on the doorstep. This also makes parking to unload the car quite tricky as it is a busy road. I reslly do think your advertising should mention this. It is also a very dark house unless the sun is out in the afternoon. Fair enough, it's an old propery, but the photos used in your advertising show brightly lit rooms. I'm partially-sighted and good lighting is essential for me. Brighter/more lights? There is a faint smell of gas from the fire in the sitting room. Otherwise it's an excellently placed property for exploring Whitby, which we loved.

    Dear Mrs Matthews I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay. Yes it is an old property Georgian in fact.The boat yard has also been there many years and is as much an institution as many other Whitby landmarks. Unfortunately boat building can at times be noisy. The description on the website does mention parking difficulties. Whitby is a beautiful place. The town and harbour still retaining their charm. As such all the properties for holiday rental along church street are on the pavement close to the road. I accept that the lounge can be a little dark due to its position at street level but there is plenty of electric lighting if needed. The bedrooms are flooded with natural light. I note you felt you detected a faint smell of gas from the living room fire. We did not detect this on our stay on the 12th august. I wish to reassure you that both the fire and boiler received a clean bill of health and issued certificate on the 9.4.19. Kind regards Andrea Property Owner

  • "Off road Car parking has not been described properly plus there’s been a road been ongoing from start of July2019 which going to last till March2020, has to park my car more than half mile away with £9 charge per24 hours."

    Struggle to find the keys for the property. Raised the issues with booking company regarding the parking problem, been told to sorted out the parking charges,no help.Overall experience is bad, specially when you -are travelling with your kids and struggle to use of your own car.

    Dear guests. I am sorry your trip was not as you hoped. Sadly the parking is beyond my control and we were unaware of the new developments whilst the much needed flood barriers are being completed. Parking is described as roadside and as such is always subject to availability. This is true for all properties along this road and those closest to the town. However, I appreciate after a long drive with children this is an issue. We will describe parking and alternatives to reflect this on advert and in advice given if speaking to Sykes in future. Re keysafe, sorry if you found it difficult to locate but not seen as problem previously. We have checked to ensure keysafe working properly and it is. However, we will look at how this is communicated when booking and instructions for key given. Many thanks for feed back. Property Owner

Positioned near the harbour on the coast of Whitby is this stunning Grade II listed, semi-detached cottage.

11 Church Street is a wonderful choice for a small group of friends or families looking to escape to the coast of North Yorkshire.

Entering the property, you are greeted by a spacious open-plan interior, with a sofa and an armchair where you can enjoy a relaxing evening while catching up with your favourite shows, in front of the warming gas fire.

Walk around the staircase into the modern kitchen, housing all the modern appliances you could need to rustle up a home-cooked meal for your loved ones.

Use the dining area for family gatherings and enjoy your meals over a glass of wine, whilst catching up on the day's events.

Follow the stairs up to the first floor where you will discover a spacious double bedroom, with a splash of colour in the delightful artwork and bed throws, while the second floor offers a twin bedroom, perfect for your little ones.

A family bathroom rests on the first floor, with a lovely corner bath, ideal for those late nights relaxing in the tub after a long day sightseeing.

Take a trip towards Whitby Abbey, a popular historical attraction which has inspired visitors for nearly 1500 years, boasting wondrous sea views.

Visit the Gothic ruins, take a tour of the medieval architecture and discover the history behind the abbey, said to have been the home of the first known English poet and an inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous novel 'Dracula'.

If you enjoy country walks, then venture towards the delightful Pannet Park, and uncover several themed gardens, including a Jurassic garden, with plant life echoing the Jurassic period - not to mention the lovely playground where your little ones can enjoy a fun-filled day on the swings, climbing frames and slides.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
