  The garage was useful because I left it in there for the week,its quite tight getting in there, I found it easier to reverse into it. The cottage is well equipped, clean and in a good location. I would recommend it.

  We have amended the information for the garage and included a what 3 words location. Property Owner

• "This gorgeous little cottage has everything you need for your stay in Whitby."

  The hosts could not be any more accommodating and friendly. The cottage was very clean and had all your home comforts. We spent our evenings watching the boats from the living room window, it was very relaxing. Perfect location as once we parked up we did not use our car again. I e managed to park the car outside the front of the property in the evening once the hustle and bustle had calmed down. We will definitely be returning again in the future. Thank you xx

  We're glad you all enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Great little cottage situated right near the harbour."

  Good location didn't need the car once we parked up, lots of pubs and restaurants in the town within a five minute walk.

  Sadly our favourite restaurant has closed but there are still plenty to choose from. Property Owner

• "Excellent property to stay in for its comfort and little quirky touches."

  Also the location so close to the centre but just on the edge so local amenities pub, restaurants supermarket etc minutes away by foot. We used our car once in seven days. A walk to Sandsend end on the beach highly recommended and 15 mins back on the the bus. Scenery fantastic. We highly recommend this property and hope to return.

  Happy that you liked the cottage, you'll be welcome to return. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, had a great time."

  Enjoyed the views and proximity to everything. The stairs are a bit inconsistent so you need a hand free for the rail if you’re unsteady in any way. We got lucky with free parking directly opposite.

  Sometimes the parking fairy is kind. Property Owner

• "Had an enjoyable week at Odd Sock Cottage, which is in a great location on the 'quiet side' of town."

  The property was very clean and comfortable, with all essentials provided. Easy access to shops, restaurants, pubs, etc. Lovely outlook over the harbour. Had a small issue with a fault on the boiler, but this was dealt with as soon as possible and posed no real hardship. I was kept updated by the owners, which was very much appreciated. I was offered a move to a different property by the Sykes team, which was brilliant customer service, but I didn't feel that the issue warranted a move. Overall, very happy.

• "The cottage is lovely and has beautiful views, everything you need to start your holiday is provided, the only minor criticism I could give is that the plug in the bathroom sink probably needs replacing as it sticks and the cottage could do with decorating."

  We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back soon.

  We have fixed the bathroom plug and will be decorating in the near future. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  The cottage is a mixture of modern and old, you will need to mind you head in places. Conveniently situated overlooking the harbour on the road side , but surprisingly quite. A good selection of game DVD'S etc. if the weather is bad.

  It was very clean and well stocked with everything you'd need. The furnishings including the bed are of good quality and we had a lovely relaxing holiday. The location of the cottage is good and the view from the front window is amazing. Communication with the owners was very good . The only negative is the parking it was quite difficult finding a space on this side of the river but there was always plenty over the other side,

• "This is a lovely place to stay."

  The location is perfect with super views of the upper harbour from all the windows. Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped and nicely decorated. Steps to access the property and narrow staircases in the property so probably wouldn't suit the elderly or infirm. My husband and I stayed here twice in 2019 and we are looking forward to our next stay in 2020.

• "On arrival the apartment was everything we wanted for our Christmas break it was very clean with beautiful furniture and a real home from home."

  It was extremely cold on entering as the heating was on a very low heat level and I don’t think there had been any occupants the previous week to air it through!! We turned the heating on full and also tried to use the gas fire but it wouldn’t light at all. This made the upstairs unbearably hot but still very cold in the living areas and a draught seemed to be coming from somewhere. We contacted the owner about this but he said that due to it being the Christmas period he had been unable to find anyone to fix the problem with the fire. Perhaps it would be a good idea to provide some kind of portable heater especially at this time of year. Other than this we had a great time in Odd Sock Cottage and would gladly return but probably in the warmer months.

  The cottage had many nice touches to make it feel homely. Excellent views of the Marina and Whitby. Very relaxing. Only 5 minutes to walk into the shops etc. Parking is a problem although we did find a spot outside the cottage and left the car there all week. Just one downside with the cottage which is a problem with most cottages near the town centre - lack of outside private space to sit in.

  There were no issues... Very well equipped kitchen, extremely comfortable beds and very clean. Location perfect on the quieter side of the river, close to the town. Car parking wasn't an issue at this time of year, however it possibly may become a little challenging in high season. We would certainly book again without hesitation. Although there is a lock up small garage we didn't make use of it.
