• "The apartment was wonderful and we have already booked for 2025."

  But we had an issue with the occupants of the apartment above us. For the first fews days we endured late night and very early morning noises from them. Their incessant singing, shouting, and banging about showed a complete disregard for courtesy and social norms. The constant disruption repeatedly shattered our sleep and ruined our enjoyment of what is usually a peaceful and idyllic location. At one point we considered leaving and returning home but luckily mid-week they either left or had their moral compass pointed in the right direction Because of this we can only truly give this stay 3 stars.

• "Beautiful spacious apartment, clean and comfortable."

  Well positioned, only 10 minute walk into Whitby but uphill coming back so could be a problem for the less mobile. Lovely garden to rear of property with plenty of seating. Milk biscuits and wine were very much appreciated. Parking can be awkward but plenty of space on the road. Would not hesitate to recommend this property and would stay there again if visiting the area.

• "Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean!"

  Really comfortable & had everything we needed. On a busy road but you can’t really hear it from the inside. We tended to keep the blinds & curtains closed most of the time for more privacy as people staying in other apartments can see in. Handy for the town, approx a 20 minute walk, then we used local buses most of the time.

• "Very pleased with the flat in Whitby."

  Extremely comfortable, parking on site and near to park and ride and shops. The accommodation had a lovely tranquil feel with a spacious garden and seating area at rear of property while also being located conveniently near to a main road with direct access to shops and Whitby town. The best of both worlds Very pleased

• "We had a good week, the was property was nice ."

  We only had one car but I do think the listing should be more clearer about parking . It says 3 cars but doesn’t mention thats for other apartments in the building as well . The picture makes it look a lot bigger than it is . The bed is comfortable .

• "Absolutely fabulous!"

  A really lovely cottage, really comfortably furnished, great shower, comfortable bed and very clean. Had everything you need for a great break and only 10 minutes walk from centre of Whitby. Beautiful garden and very quiet and peaceful setting. Really nice welcome pack and 2 minutes walk form Lidl and local Pub. We have been visiting Whitby for 20 years and never normally go back to the same cottage but can’t wait to book Stakesby House Apartment 1 again. Owners live near by and are very nice and helpful. Would give it 6 starts if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

• "A lovely property with parking which is a big bonus."

  It is very spacious and was very clean and it felt private too. No silly "house" rules either and the welcome pack was very nice especially the local baker's biscuits! All on one level was another bonus. It's a far step to town but the location of the property gives you choices of whether to walk straight down and get onto the harbour/river bridge area or walk through Pannett park and access the town from the other end.

• "Lovely apartment."

  We really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed walking to Whitby through the park at the bottom of the road. Good bus service, we got the bus to Scarborough. Plenty of parking on the road outside the apartment- we didn’t bother parking on the drive. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Loved the dressing room with the dressing table - great for contact lenses & make up. Good shower.

• "Blinds needed in dressing area and bedroom as being on the ground floor you are overlooked, so we had to have both sets of curtains drawn in the morning until we were dressed from coming out of the bathroom."

  A few more more items in the kitchen would be appreciated such as a baking sheet. Thanks Julie

• "It is hard to understand why Covid is still being used as an excuse for not providing towels and oven gloves, especially as Sykes information stated that towels WERE provided."

  This meant that on arrival we had to go out to buy them. Bedroom would have benefitted from a mirror, ( 1 was provided in the lobby but was not near a plug for a hairdryer). Parking was very tricky, due to the incline of the driveway. If all apartments were occupied, it would potentially have caused problems.

• "The apartment was very clean and comfortable, having parking was a bonus also the communal garden to sit in."

  It was about a 20 minute walk into Whitby. Whitby itself was a perfect place to stay, with plenty to see and do. We enjoyed looking round the Abbey, James Cook Museum and Pannet Park. Also walking round the harbour to see the boats, and the footpath by the river Esk. There are regular short boat trips around the harbour and a steam railway. There were many cafes, restaurants and pubs to choose from all serving quality food and drink. We found it a lively and interesting place to stay. Only one negative- the public toilets were either closed or flooded during our stay!

  Could be the age of the player. Also maybe a smart tv option so people can watch their own streaming sites like Netflix, usually not a big deal but with COVID-19 we didn’t have much choices to do things on a night.

• "We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation."

  A small niggle was the poor internet connection, didn't intend to sit over my laptop while on holiday but I couldn't access the website to check my emails, disappointed with this. With reference to the information booklet for residents, it might be worthwhile including information on using Parking Discs in the disc parking zones in Whitby town. I've never came across them before and in my ignorance managed to get a £50 parking charge. I've found out since that the cards can be obtained free from many local shops, my fault, lesson learnt. Lovely accommodation though and the off street parking very welcome. We spent a few evenings in the very nice back garden enjoying a g and t before we walked into the town centre (about 15 mins) and plenty of taxis to bring you back for £5.00. We ate out for our main meals, having a traditional Sunday lunch at The Stables, a Thai meal, an Italians an Indians at restaurants in the town and of course the traditional fish and chips ( recommend Alexanders opposite the Irish Bar in town ) This is the first time we have used Sykes Cottages but it will not be the last, we were talking about booking this place straight away for next year!!!
