  • "Excellent house, superb location."

    Comfy and cosy. Lovely welcome tray with tea, coffee and biscuits. Beds are oh so comfortable. Only thing missing is a foot stool for the living room (and that’s only my personal opinion) will definitely be coming back.

  • "It was not made clear that the parking was not near the property."

    I had selected only properties with parking and was disappointed firtsly that when I emailed Sykes, no one got back to me and secondly that when I searched reviews I found out there was no parking with the property. In the end we had to sepnd £11 per day on parking. Secondly we had no heating until the eveing before we left. We reported it to 'Maid in Whitby' but she did not come until the Tuesday evening ( we left on Wednesday morning). By this time, the light in the main bathroom ( no windows) had also gone. Very disappointing, it was freezing!

    Thank you for your feedback. It does clearly state on the website that council parking permits are provided. We also leave clear guidance in the property to call Maid in Whitby if you experience any issues. If you contacted the team initially we would have been able to provide some scratch cards for you. With regards to the heating issue we did arrange for somebody to attend when we were made aware of the problem. I am sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience in your opinion. Please call us if you would like to discuss your feedback further. Property Owner

  • "We found the property smelling fusty and dank throughout our stay."

    The previous occupant's rubbish was left in the hallway and no council refuse sack to dispose with. A search to find one behind the door in the hallway revealed a horribly mouldy, dilapidated external toilet. A good location to explore Whitby being situated on a main shopping street, but we could hear noise from the street through the single sheet windows and music from downstairs beneath the living room. The parking here is unfortunate being at times a distance to walk to Zone W depending on how lucky you are finding a space, this is of course more to deal with the influx of tourists than the property. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

  • "The apartment was well equipped and decorated ."

    It has 2 toilets which was great when 2 families occupying . The spiral stairs were a challenge for older visitors but we were expecting that . We needed to prop kitchen window open as very warm during our visit . Seagulls a bit of a nuisance but that’s everywhere in Whitby ! ( ear plugs provided) .I would have liked a pouffe to put feet up after a day’s walking !

  • "Lovely property right in the heart of Whitby."

    However it should be made clearer that there is no off road parking (which at time of booking was listed as available in the accommodation), and that due to the accommodation being in a pedestrianised area you cannot park nearby. There is a parking permit provided, this is for Zone W which is worth looking up before you book, in case you are not able to carry your luggage across the town. We ended up paying for parking in a car park about 1 min walk away (£10.80 per day) rather than hunt for a space across the bridge in the free parking area. We had a lovely stay, but I feel more accurate info re parking and access would have been useful.

Then, head through to the sitting room and relax on the plush sofa and armchair while you watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV.

As the night rolls in, venture to the second floor to find two double bedrooms neatly presented, along with a shower room where you can freshen up.

The final bedroom sits on the third attic floor with exposed beams and offers another King-size bed.

Explore Whitby, a stunning coastal town, where you can discover a range of cultural attractions and activities to enjoy.

Take a peaceful stroll along the beach, where you can admire the fresh sea air and take in the unending views.

If you’re feeling adventurous, take a trip to Whitby Abbey, a spectacular ruin perched atop the cliff edge, or to the charming Church of Saint Mary, both steeped in history.

If you are looking for something a bit more activity-filled, why not take a boat trip around the harbor or try out the local fishing boats.

For a unique experience, visit Whitby’s famous 199 Steps, where you can take in magnificent views of the town from the Abbey headland.

When it comes to dining out, sample the delicious local seafood on offer, or stop by a traditional fish and chip shop, for a quintessentially British meal.

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 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy 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.
