  Very convenient for the centre. Top quality and will definitely return.

• "Just a couple of very minor issues upon arrival - bin was broken -this had obviously been done recently as the broken plastic pieces were still on the floor, there was no ironing board cover and no hoover in the cupboard."

  We also had an issue with the dishwasher as it will only was on the 'economy' programme. However, we would like to take the opportunity of praising the services of Marie who dealt with the issues straight away, even coming out in her own time on a Saturday to solve problems. As regular visitors (already booked for next year) please can you ask the owner for a new hoover, the current one does not work effectively and also a new ironing board cover. Oh and new batteries in the kitchen clock please -it has read ten to two for the past 2 years lol. We always love our stay at The Engine Shed and have recommended to several friends. High quality with caring staff. Looking forward to next year.

• "Fabulous! We've stayed many times in Whitby, this is our first time at the Engine Shed."

  Can't believe what we've been missing. Repton was the perfect accommodation for 2 people. Couldn't fault it. Well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge, comfy bedroom. Constantly heated bathroom so towels were always dry. Everything was high spec. & the secure parking was an absolute bonus. Given the location I even checked the timetable for the steam trains, just for a photo or 2... We'll be back soon.

• "We had a wonderful time at Repton, The Engine Shed."

  The apartment was beautiful and was absolutely spotlessly clean. It had a lovely modern kitchen with washer and dishwasher, lovely lounge area with comfy sofa, lovely bathroom and bedroom with very comfy bed. We loved watching the trains passing by the window. The location was great, very close to the centre of Whitby.

• "Another wonderful few days in Repton and the weather was glorious too."

  Our 5th visit to The Engine Shed since it first opened and it won’t be our last. Lovely furnishings, washer / dryer and dishwasher in the kitchen and plenty of utensils if you wish to cook. Nice welcome pack and flowers on arrival too. The main attraction for us is the steam railway which passes by about 4 times a day. Finally the parking space here is great as it’s very difficult to park in Whitby normally. The only downside was having to leave and go home.

• "Very smart, comfortable, clean and despite the train noise otherwise very quiet."

  Very convenient for Whitby town and the nearby Indian ta ki away was superb and excellent value. Fantastic use of an old architecturally interesting building. Very convenient under cover parking.

• "Overall, the stay was a positive experience."

  The facilities and equipment in the apartment are excellent. the kitchen is well-equipped and so is the bathroom. There is a comfortable sofa and overall it was a pleasant place to be. Both of us, however, found the bed to be unbelievably uncomfortable and it was not easy to sleep most nights. There are some beautiful old beams in the building too, but they have quite a thick layer of dust on them which is not ideal from the perspective of someone with allergies such as myself. Otherwise, the apartment was prepared and cleaned nicely in advance. A few checks on small things to ensure they are still OK would be useful. The ironing board had no cover and wouldn't stay up which was a slight annoyance. There was a couple of other things like that too. However, the location of the apartment, the parking, the communal areas are all excellent features of this apartment. I am not sure I would stay again primarily because of the dust and the bed, but bed comfort can be a personal thing and not everyone is bothered by dust, so I wouldn't necessarily discourage people from staying as there is a lot this apartment has to offer.

• "We stayed in Repton for the week and it was stunning."

  The decor is lovely and we never tired of the trains coming past. It's very nice to have parking in the garage too . There was a slight hiccup when the fire alarm was accidentally set off but luckily we were heading out for tea and this was resolved when we were back. Accidents happen and this really did not effect anything for us personally. The Engine Shed is the perfect base for exploring Whitby and we were really sad to leave. Would whole heartedly recommend and would love to come back in the future! The only thing that was missing was a guest book! Would love to have read through past guests visits but that really is me nit picking!

• "Our 3rd visit to this wonderful property."

  Spacious throughout and top quality furnishings. Wonderful bag of goodies and flowers to start the holiday. Secure parking is a must in Whitby and The Engine Shed comes with this too. Although we only came for 4 nights this time it was still worth it and to have the steam trains passing by the doors completed our wonderful stay here. Can’t wait for our next visit. The only downside was having to go home.

• "Really lovely stylish comfortable apartment but a few small things let it down such as: 1."

  No table or floor lamp in the living room. This would have been nice to create mood lighting. Turning the ceiling lights off to watch tv meant we were sitting in the dark and had to use our phones as a torch to see the remote control. Keeping just some of the ceiling lightings on was too bright for watching tv. 2. If you’re a cook, you will be disappointed with the pans provided. Quality of frying pans did not match quality of the kitchen plus the handles were loose. There were 3 small saucepans but no large saucepan for boiling pasta. Also, a wok would have been nice. There is plenty of cupboard space available for extra cookware to be provided. 3. General shortage of kitchenware. Eg, no knife sharpener (some of the knives were blunt), pasta bowls would have been appreciated. The reason most people choose self catering is because they will probably want to stay in at night and cook in their holiday accommodation rather than eating out.

• "A really lovely place to stay very clean and comfortable."

  Close to town which is handy, with the bonus of parking. We would definitely come again. The only bad thing was the occasional joy rider on the car park which was annoying.

• "Very comfortable with excellent kitchen and bathroom ( the walk in shower was great) and comfortable bed."

  The lighting in the lounge area was a problem; I hate overhead lighting and there was no alternative! The lounge needs a couple of table or standard lamps for more subdued lighting, and a chair near the window to read or train watch. The smart TV was good for the evenings.

• "Excellent accommodation, nothing we would change."

  Everything was done to a very high standard and was very clean and in good repair. Large bedroom, comfy big bed, lots of storage room, power points, mirrors etc. Modern bathroom with big luxury shower. Lots of seating in lounge made it very comfy and big modern kitchen had everything you need and more, even a washing machine. Nice extra touches like an arrival pack with tea, milk etc. The trains are very close but not more than one an hour, they add to the ambience. Will definitely be back, property central for Whitby and also for exploring other places

• "The overall stay was excellent, and really enjoyed the accommodation and its proximity to the town and all the local amenities and restaurants."

  I wondered if being so close to the trainline would be noisy, but we actually got accustomed to the trains fairly quickly. The facilities in the kitchen, living area, and the bathroom were excellent. Lots of storage in the bedroom too though, and I appreciate not everyone likes the same kind of bed, the bed was not the most comfortable and would probably take my own pillows if staying again.... but I definitely would stay again. The one disappointment was that the hot water stopped working mid-way through the stay. I contacted the phone number and email address left in the book in the apartment, but never heard back on either - and still haven't. Fortunately, the same day, the cleaner made contact to see if we wanted fresh bedding and towels. I asked her if she could help. She provided an immediate solution so we could shower that evening, and the water was back on by lunchtime the next day. Thank goodness she got in touch when she did as who knows if I would ever have heard back from the telephone or email contacts. Notwithstanding the glitch with the water and the lack of communication on it, the apartment was excellent. I would stay there again and have already recommended it to several people.

• "An amazing place to stay."

  Loved the decoration and design inside. Gorgeous comfy couch and lovely firm bed. Only criticism was the lack of a shelf or soap dish in the shower. My husband has had both hips replaced and bending down can be quite difficult and uncomfortable for him. Having to keep bending down in the shower wasn’t ideal. A small shelf would’ve made all the difference. Apart from that it was perfect. Loved seeing the steam trains. There are sparrows nesting above the bedroom window which we could constantly hear but we got used to that! Even the 6.30am train service didn’t bother us. We soon fell back to sleep. The parking was a real bonus. We left the car there and got the bus to staithes and Robin hoods bay. Perfect holiday.

  I was not disappointed with anything a fabulous place. If you did want to cook there is everything you need but with the harbour 5 mins walk away ther are plenty places to eat to suit everyone's pocket. The garage parking is superb.

• "The first two days was slightly spoiled by whoever was staying in the apartment directly below us."

  Shouting and also smoking out the window which came directly into our apartment, therefore we had to close the doors. Also with the weather being warm the apartment does needs some sort of fresh air system coming into it. We both thought that the apartment was very nice, in a good location but the cost was overpriced for when there is no outside space.

  It was everything we expected and more. We were not disappointed. In fact the only disappointment was when the holiday came to an end. Repton Engine Shed is right in the heart of Whitby. We were a stones throw from everything. It was fantastic to be able to leave our car safely secured in the garage and everything was in walking distance. We would i definitely return and be keen to stay in one of the other apartments. Repton has been finished to a very high standard. The bed was huge and so comfortable. It really was a fantastic holiday.

• "We had a lovely time during our stay in Whitby."

  The only issue that we had is the lack of windows. The property became very warm and during the summer months I would imagine it to be stifling. There are doors but we had a lot of small birds trying to enter, this would mean that you would be reluctant to leave a door open. The seagulls on the roof were a pain ,this can’t be helped. They did weaken us several times.

• "A couple of minor suggestions."

  .. The quilt cover was too small for the quilt and so not across the bed as it should have been, but placed on short edge and tucked in. took a night to realise why we were battling over the cover in our sleep... lol - the bed a double king size so quilt not square, this was a minot matter. Unavoidably there was maintenance work on the line and a diesel engine was outside windows most of Saturday evening through until 1.00 am.. loud and annoying, maybe worth mentioning as some people may choose not to stay. Your offices very kindly let us have a later check out incase it happened Sunday night and we needed a lie in to catch up on lost sleep. this was really appreciated. May be boils at window so did not have to draw curtains when changing etc. However everything was really great and super and would recommend and return again.

  The high ceilings with beams and the original stone sections of the old engine shed make this an extra special property to stay in. The furnishings and facilities are exceptional, amazing super king-size bed, big smart TV, fully fitted kitchen, huge shower & glass panelled smart heaters that warm the space really well. The indoor car park via the electric garage door is a huge bonus. During our stay, we didn't hear any noise at all from any of the neighbours nor outside of the property, as it is situated just far enough down from the town to be away from it all, but still close enough to be in a pub or restaurant within a few minutes walk. Great views of parts of the harbour and loved the few trains passing by every day. Also upon arrival, we received a welcome gift bag containing sweet treats, a vase of fresh flowers, fresh milk in the fridge, jams, butter, bread, tea, coffee and even pods with a tassimo machine. We could not recommend this place more and will definitely be booking again.
