“I think you need to mark your parking bay”
Mrs Bogg March 2019

“Great stay in Whitby, I can reccommend Sykes and the Old Blacksmiths Workshop cottage.”

Its in a great location,really close to everything Whitby has to offer. The parking space is quite small but fine unless you have a big car. The owner was most helpful and kindly text me to let me know the cottage was ready for us before 4pm , so when we arrived we were able to go straight to the cottage which was nice and warm and a box of chocolates waiting for us. As we went early March, the weather was cold but the cottage was always warm with plenty of hot water for showers and baths. I can definantly reccommend this property to anyone who wants a great stay in Whitby.
Mr Foss February 2019

“Lovely accomodation, ideally located.”

Bathroom and kitchen really nice and well laid out. Made for a great family holiday break. Maybe worth considering the size of your vehicle though for the parking space, we struggled with a Focus (but that maybe my parking!). Overall though I wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.
Mr Liversidge January 2019

“Sometimes the actual accommodation does not match the description, but that wasn't the case with the Old Blacksmith Workshop.”

The facilities were excellent as was the location. The parking space was an added bonus. When I visit Whitby again will definitely book this accommodation again. The whole booking process was easy, ( I would recommend downloading the app), and the owner was very helpful.

“Home from home”

Right in the centre of Whitby, a real home from home. Lovely and cosy, everything you could want and need. The beds are comfy with great bedding. Would not hesitate to book again, we loved it. The Wi-fi and a parking space in Whitby that is included is a bonus. We only stayed 2 nights, but if you were here longer there was a washer and dishwasher. Highly recommended.
Ms Tate-Clarkson November 2018

“The host was very friendly and even allowed us to access the cottage early.”

It is a beautiful place and the location is amazing. Everything was clean and decor is exceptional. The only fault if it can be one is the time we had to vacate. 10am is very early on a weekend as we had to be up at 8.30 so all 4 of us could get showered and dressed.
Mrs Toulson November 2018

“It was the third time we have stayed at this property & it was fantastic as always .”

We will definitely be coming back again . Top notch !!!
Ms Ward October 2018

“Sykes failed to send the information explaining where to find the Key safe and the instructions relating to the parking space.”

This resulted in us having to contact the owner on arrival. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, our only complaint about the property was that shower water temperature would run hot then cold which was a pain.

Sykes sent all information for key collection details to the guest. The shower issue had not been brought to owner's attention and is currently being investigated. Sykes owner relations

“Brilliant Cottage , Amazing Owners , Fantastic location , Exactly what my ...”

Brilliant Cottage , Amazing Owners , Fantastic location , Exactly what my partner needed after cancer treatment , Whitby we love you , Old Blacksmiths workshop cottage We ADORED you
Mrs Litchfield October 2018

“We thought this accommodation was extremely clean and well equipped.”

It's in a fantastic location and bonus to have a parking space as well. We would definitely recommend it and plan to return next year as had a fantastic time. My 5 year old daughter was disappointed to leave as loved 'her bedroom'. The owner was also extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing I would say is sykes send emails before hand to advise you to contact owner about a week before to arrange key pick up, where as the owner likes to ring you a day or so before as actually has code to give you as well and assume doesn't like to give out too far in advance. Completely understandable so think Sykes need to update what they send outta customers.
Mr Monro September 2018

“We had have only two suggestions.”

The pillows were most unconfortable we wished we had brought our own. But that did not spoil our stay in any way. The second is due to the steepness of the path outside, my mother had great difficulty in walking to the car. If possible, a handrail on the wall will be helpful. That's all. No dramas. Very clean and relaxing accommodation. Great communication between yourselves and us. I am happy to stay there again. I have already passed on your companies details to friends for their holidays. Thank you.

“Lovely property which lacked nothing.”

A beautiful property, clean, stylish & well equipped kitchen. Spend a warm cosy quiet week with my husband. Property ideally situated in the middle of town less than 5 minutes walk to the harbour & shops. Car parking space a great bonus as long as you have a small car. I have a Clio that just fit in the space. We couldn't have asked for anything finer as every comfort had been thought of. One down side was having to leave the property at 9.30 on the day of departure. But other than that a great find.

“Modern but with a cozy charm”

Cottage was spotlessly clean, well furnished and had everything you could possibly need. It's centrally located and a good size. We really enjoyed our stay and would only say it could do with wifi.

“Weekend break”

My family and I had a lovely time in whitby in febuary 2013. The oldblacksmith. Workshop we could not fault , it was very clean and big enough for the four of us the only let down was the parking we couldn't park in front of the accomandation to off load but we did manage. I would return to the cottage and recomend it to my friends and family.
JillandSteve_18 September 2012

“Excellent location”

We booked well ahead using reviews and photos etc to decide. It was very difficult to find and we had to get a detailed msap from the tourist information in town. Once found the parking is very tight DO NOT take a large car as you will not fit in ! The Blacksmith's is very well laid out and very with everything you need for a short stay. The beds are comfortable enough with good, clean linen. Plenty of storage. The shower / bath is excellent. The lounge / kitchen area has it all... electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, kettle etc and all the instructions are provided and are easy to understand. It was a black spot for internet with the service very weak and very unreliable. Phone service was also very unreliable. I had a Vodafone card. There should also be a second house key provided in case you or your other family members arrive home at different times. I mentioned this to the owner and she did make note of it. The location is great with it being only a 2 minute downhill walk to the harbour front. It is up hill back home, but where in Whitby don'y you have hills? All in all a very pleasant stay and we would thoroughly recommend the Old Blacksmith's to anyone considering a stay in lovely Whitby

“High spec holiday rental”

Well equipped and maintained holiday cottage in one of my favourite towns. High spec, clean and comfortable. Some noise from upstairs on one evening but nothing too bad. Only slight quibble would be the TV which seems to be suffer in comparison to the rest of the cottage.

“we all enjoyed the week.”

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an abundance of activity so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for every interest and time of year. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set, or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Hosting an abundance of leisure facilities, opportunities to explore the natural lands, and plenty of coastal delights, Whitby offers something for everyone. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay full of heritage wonders and scenic spots, and in reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
