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

“We felt that the accommodation was a little tired and needed decorating.”

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

“What was niot to like.”

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.

“The only let down is parking but the cottage is excellent”
Mr Featherstone August 2018

“Home was good, a little concerned that the stairs may have been too steep but not at all.”

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.

“A great week in Whitby.”

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.

“Lovely house in a great location.”

Only needs WiFi.
Mrs Bott November 2017

“The house was beautiful, well equipped, and cosy.”

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.

“Short Break”

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.
Mr Metcalfe September 2017

“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.”
Mrs Hodson August 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.”

“home from home”

i wanted to personally thank the landlord for the use of his holiday home, He was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The house is well furnished and to a high standard, the three flights of stairs keep you fit, it is in a perfect location. the only down side was the noisey seagulls!!! the parking voucher was a bonus and thankyou, we have had a lovely holiday and would deffo book it again

“Central, quiet, perfect”

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.
