Mr Dunn September 2020

“I was just unhappy about with the C19 that there was no toilet paper, maybe they forgot that was the only issue”

- Mr Dunn, September 2020

It appears that this was overlooked by one of our cleaners, but glad you enjoyed your stay. With reference to COVID guidelines, toiler roll would not really fall within these terms and would normally be provided and our cleaners do their best to follow the new guidance. Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. Sykes owner relations
Mr Sullivan September 2020

“Advised as luxurious but did not really meet the description, comfortable yes.”

Certain elements needed looking at: 3 lamps missing in lounge:2 lamps missing in bedroom: bedside lights not completely working :toaster not emptied :drain outside front door blocked creating a puddle . However, location excellent for all amenities,with the proviso of the parking to unload your luggage. If you come by train or bus then no problem.

- Mr Sullivan, September 2020
Mr Ryder August 2020

“Lovely accommodation and in a great location for access to Whitby.”

- Mr Ryder, August 2020
Mr Dean August 2020

“Local parking was a nightmare, but local authority did £8 a day through tourist information at the marina car park.”

It's valid in other council car parks also from staines to Filey.

- Mr Dean, August 2020
Mrs Baczynski September 2019

“The Bolthole, Whitby is located within walking distance of the railway station, and the rest of Whitby.”

We travelled by train so that was important. The Bolthole was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, and the sun shone through the large sitting room window so it didn’t feel like a basement.

- Mrs Baczynski, September 2019
Mrs Donally August 2019

“Absolutely loved the location , so close to everything.”

Some might find the parking and loading/unloading a problem but we were fine. Slight smell and noisy plumbing in the bathroom but it is an old property and a basement at that. We really appreciated the spacious, quiet apartment at the end of a busy day exploring all the wonderful things that Whitby has to offer. A bottle of wine and tea and coffee were provided as a lovely welcome touch.

- Mrs Donally, August 2019
Ms Winch June 2019

“The property is described as luxury, however a few things were missing that I would expect in a luxury property.”

A cafetierre A TV that works and is not affected by bad weather A dish washer Enough toilet roll for the duration of the holiday A welcome pack with a few bits of local produce including milk Also the instructions for car parking need to be improved

- Ms Winch, June 2019
Mr Wilkinson May 2019

“Really good location close to St Hilda’s on the lower level.”

Excellent for the bus station. The only let down was that there was no WiFi I think this would make a big difference in booking an apartment.

- Mr Wilkinson, May 2019
Mr Breedon March 2019

“Excellent location, good value for money and plenty to do!”

- Mr Breedon, March 2019
Mrs Laister December 2018

“Lovely, comfortable flat.”

Very central. Parking can be an issue but then this is Whitby. Would definitely book again.

- Mrs Laister, December 2018
Mrs Oflaherty August 2018

“Very noisy toilet system.”

Unable to get out to back of accommodation as door locked and no key . Having a key would have made it easier to unload car as we were able to park on the street at the back of the property. Also a small bottle of milk left in the fridge would have been a welcome especially for those arriving later on in the evenings . Other than that it was lovely .

- Mrs Oflaherty, August 2018
Mrs Kinsella August 2018

“Fantastic apartment, beautiful and comfortable.”

Everything you could want. Thank you for making our stay in Whitby an amazing experience.

- Mrs Kinsella, August 2018
Mrs Madigan August 2018

“Cottage was beautiful however there was a nasty smell coming from the bathroom, we presumed the drains as it is such an old building.”

However as the break went on the smell became less. The TV signal was appalling, to the extent that when we got back to the accommodation after a day exploring/walking we had to listen to the radio as we couldn't get any channels on the TV. Saying that we would book again as right on the doorstep for everything in Whitby

- Mrs Madigan, August 2018
Mr Hazell June 2018

“The apartment is roomy, well furnished and very comfortable.”

We hope to return.

- Mr Hazell, June 2018
Mr Aldrich April 2018

“We had a great stay at The Bolthole very close to town centre which was important :D”

- Mr Aldrich, April 2018
Mr Rhodes March 2018

“When we arrived it was -2c and there was no heating on, the apartment was damp and smelled musty, we took in our luggage adjusted the heating and went to Costa for a warm and a coffee.”

The musty smell continued for the whole week. The tv advertised as freeview well we had ITV on the Friday and Saturday when we arrived and then nothing until the following Thursday only BBC and then nothing again on the Friday. In the summer this would not be such a big issue but in the winter with dark days and long evenings we felt at least we could watch our favourite programmes as your brochure describes ie- freeview. On our previous visit there was rear access / fire escape via a door in the bedroom this is now locked with no key and the opening casement window has been sealed up meaning there was no ventilation which contributed to the musty smell and there was no rear fire escape.

- Mr Rhodes, March 2018
Mr Coyne September 2017

“The property was spacious, spotlessly clean, excellent location and well equipped.”

parking was bit of a problem but we managed eventually.

- Mr Coyne, September 2017
Mrs Mcdonnell August 2017

“The best location if you are coming to Whitby by train .”

Lovely big rooms and comfortable bed . Many steps to get in so need Good mobility. We enjoyed our stay very much .

- Mrs Mcdonnell, August 2017
Mr Breese October 2016

“We had a great time, loved the flat, loved Whitby.”

Would definitely come again.

- Mr Breese, October 2016
Mrs Lawn September 2016

“Parking in Whitby is a nightmare and visitors need to be warned of this!”

Also, we were told where to stop to unload our car - there was no parking outside the property - but no directions of how to get to either of the two streets recommended for on street parking. A map showing the streets would be helpful, and also being told there is a convoluted one way system! The street we needed was behind our property, but was really difficult to access initially. Other than that, we had a very restful time.

- Mrs Lawn, September 2016
Mr Crean July 2016

“Luxurious apartment so close to amenities.”

Very clean and very comfortable, will be back very soon!

- Mr Crean, July 2016
Mrs Dorman October 2015

“The apartment is large and very well set out.”

It is very comfortable and a pleasure to get back to after a day out. It is also ideally situated near to all local amenities and car parking.

- Mrs Dorman, October 2015
Mrs Brougham July 2015

“The Bolthole was comfortable, spacious and centrally located in Whitby.”

- Mrs Brougham, July 2015
Mrs McDermont May 2015

“The flat was very close to all amenities, very handy to bus, train stations, shops and only two minutes walk from the harbour.”

We had a lovely holiday, the flat was furnished to a very high standard with everything matching, and was spotlessly clean. A lovely flat.

- Mrs McDermont, May 2015
Mr Graham February 2015

“A very spacious and cosy property overall.”

We both enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to a friend.

- Mr Graham, February 2015

wolstonlot3640 October 2014

“lovely apartment . would definatly return.!!”

We have just returned from this lovely apartment after spending a very pleasant week there. we found it both welcoming and warm, good quality furniture and fittings, it was a pleasure coming back to after a day out. I really cant believe the last reviewers were at the same place!, yes! Whitby will always have a problem with parking, its because its so popular, and if these people had done their homework they would have known this is the case wherever you stay!! we will definitely return & recommend to friends.
