• "Lovely cottage."

  We chose it due to location, along with the style of the place. It didn't disappoint. So cosy. It's well kitted out and it's obvious it's used and thought through as it felt like home. Clean, maintained, comfortable, and welcoming. Stayed in January as storm Eowyn rocked up and great to rest in the cottage. Owner easy to communicate with. Brill

  Thank you for your feedback. We are excited to be getting a new sofa and chairs in April. We would love you to come and stay again in our lovely cottage. Barbara and David. Property Owner

• "Very cosy. A bit careworn but of a good standard."

  Beds very comfortable. In general cottage was clean. However, three piece suit looked grubby and could do with being replaced or thoroughly cleaned. Intermittent leak in the bathroom needs attending to but owners know this and will deal with it. Position was great. Lovely view of the harbour and very quiet. Able to get free parking all week outside the front on the street.

  The leak in the bathroom is no longer a problem and new furniture is being delivered at the beginning of April 2025. New double glazing has also recently been installed. Thanks for your feedback and we hope you will return to witness our response to your feedback. Barbara and David. Property Owner

  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

  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.

  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.

  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

• "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.
