House was great. Very clean and comfortable. Nicely decorated with wonderful quirky features like the alcove on the stair and the many small cupboards in the two top bedrooms. Travel cot was provided and easy to set up. High chair was also provided but it didn't look very clean so we didnt use that, however it was great that there was baby friendly cutlery and plates available. Stayed 11 nights so having a hoover and mop available was great to ensure the floor was clean for my one year old. Would have been good to have two working stair gates, but worked fine having one on the stairs going down to the door. Great being so close to town and having bothams at the end of the street for bread etc in the mornings was ideal. This is the first time we have stayed this side of town so it was like a different type of holiday, spending much more time on the Victorian side of town. Walked the dog to West Cliff every morning and evening, perfect distance for an old dog. Overall we loved staying here and would stay here again thank you for having such a lovely place.

Had an amazing stay here, very comfortable and in a great location close to all you need. I’ve been to Whitby several times and stayed in different places but this was ideal for my family and the dog. Very helpful owner and I would stay here again. Good value for money too. We didn’t want to leave

“Good value for money, helpful owner, brilliant location, great for dog owners and we would stay again.”

Some complimentary tea/coffee would not go amiss for travellers that arrival late like we did. Although everything you need is close by.

Mrs Wilcox, July 2019
“Cottage was as described, it was in a great location.”

Comfortable and had everything we needed. Parking was a nightmare despite the permit we’d been given, but I guess in the centre of Whitby it’s akwsys going to be busy.

We recently stayed here and was pleasantly surprised how clean and spacious the place was, It had everything and more than we needed and was only 1 minutes walk into town, I would highly recommend firemans rest and look forward to returning to this lovely home from home place, thanks.

On first appearances all looked good , needs fresh furniture in lounge such as three piece suite very dated worn had to put fleeces on it to feel comfortable, main bedroom needs a new bed very creaky, kitchen no waste bin lid in 2013 it was mentioned in the visitors book and still no lid on it food waste smells also we had no outside waste bin so bags were outside been attacked by seagulls apart from that the accommodation was nice in good location can see they would be problems with parking in peak season

There were two bathrooms and only 1 toilet roll in each of these. The location was very good but we could have done with more information about the parking as we paid for one car and used the scratch card for the other when there was two cards available so this cost us another £20. Overall considering the accommodation was £300/night ,and we stayed two nights ,the cost for the standard of the facilities was a bit steep

Sykes were nothing but helpful and criendly all the way through. Whitby itself wa s a joy. And Fireman's rest waz so much more than we could have hoped for - plenty of space. But still cosy, warm, well fitted, close to all anenities, clean it was perfect. Thank you. We shall be back to Sykes.

“Great location, firemans rest is comfy,spacious and clean, and would certainly recommend.”

Chris the owner is very helpful when called with reference parking.

Only downside in the home were the low beams on the top floor, once you bang your head you remember to duck next time. Very handy to have a good washing machine and ironing facilities on hand, first time we have gone home with clean clothes in the cases. Our little westie loved it, very close to West Cliff through a short cut up alley at the side of next door. Very close to pub, excellent home bakery and a top class fish and chip shop which is slightly off the tourist trod. One point to remember is bin day is very early Thursday mornings and bin needs to be taken to top of alley at back of house. Unfortunately the people before us left us with an overflowing bin which caused a few problems , neighbour helped us out by letting us put bags in their bins.

Fireman’s Rest is a lovely house spread over 3 floors. The host was most helpful with a couple of queries we had. The downside was no wi-fi which wasn’t much of an issue for myself and husband but our daughter and boyfriend would have appreciated it. Parking was tight (not easy in Whitby anyway) and we got a ticket because forgot to pur registration number on permit. We had a good time - thank you.

“This is a return visit -it's in a great location, spacious, comfortable and clean.”

the shower did not work on the first floor (kept going hot and cold which was dangerous for my 9 year old granddaughter) so only had the full use of one bathroom. Found it a bit awkward to let the dogs out (fire escape a bit scary) and the parking was a little confusing (parking permit from owner was really helpful, but we needed another) Great places to eat and visit in and around Whitby, overall a good holiday.

We stayed here as a family in January and have to say that it was perfect for us; warm, cosy, comfortable, well-equipped and centrally located near to Skinner Street but also the sea. We know Whitby very well and have stayed in many properties and so have seen good and bad over the years. Our group ranged in age from grandparent to baby and yet the cottage had all that we needed. The owner was extremely helpful and on hand if we needed him. We would most definitely stay there again.

“Very nice property in a great location,although there was one minor problem with the property the shower in the downstairs bathroom didn't work,however this was only a minor irritant as there was four of us staying their.”

Mr Metcalfe, September 2017
“Only downfall with the property is the parking which is quite difficult to find a place and keep it and installing wifi would be good, but apart from that very good property in an excellent location.”

We were a group of 5 and this cottage was perfect for us. We know Whitby very well and this place is centrally located but off the main street meaning it is situated in a quiet spot and we weren't disturbed by other Goth revellers during the wee hours. The kitchen is well equipped and with 2 bathrooms this place is very comfortable and was spotless for our visit. There are lots of quirky features in the house, low beams on the top floor and a elf size recess halfway up the staircase - which amused us no end. Also check out the small doorway in the kitchen that leads to...? Very nice would definitely stay again.
