  Felt very welcome, our little dog felt at home straight away. The town centre is a short stroll away - about 10 minutes. We were left a generous welcome hamper and the house felt very well resourced. We can’t wait to come back

  From the welcome hamper in the kitchen to the sun trap back garden, it was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. We had an issue with the TV and the owner came in person to fix it! We hope to come back here in the future.

• "Just returned after a lovely week at Over Esk."

  We would highly recommend this property. Very comfortable and dog friendly house. We felt at home as soon as we entered the property. Whitby is our favourite place to bring our 2 dogs with us returning to the area on a regular basis. This is the best property we have stayed in within Whitby and we will be looking to book again in the future. The welcome basket and additional nights stay was a lovely gesture. Thank you

  You are very very welcome Joanne. Property Owner

• "Over Esk was a very comfortable cottage which was just sitting on the towns edge which suited us."

  The generous welcome pack was lovely too. All amenties where close at hand and we loved Whitby so will be returning. Just a couple of things, the tap for the shower is really difficult to turn on and off so needs looking at and the back door was stiff to open and shut.

  Thanks Kath our Plumber has sorted the shower and back door sorted too. Cheers. Property Owner

• "Had a great week here with 4 adults and 2 small dogs."

  Welcome hamper was fantastic. The house and garden were lovely. The main bedroom was big. The 2nd bedroom had 2 singles and nothing else but it wasn’t a problem because all you do is sleep in there anyway. Would definitely recommend. Only 10 minutes walk to town and we parked 2 cars outside no problem. Thanks for having us.

  Thanks Paul much appreciated. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage."

  Short walk into town. Plenty of utensils, bin bags,kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets and plenty more things. Extremely dog friendly. Throws provided for furniture treats and dog bowls. A number of Sky tv channels and wonderful back garden. Safe and secure for dogs. Very well maintained. Decking area with garden furniture. The owners very kindly contacted us prior to our holiday and invited us to come the day before free of charge. On arrival there was a very generous welcome pack. Along with beer wine and buns and a lovely note from the owners wishing my husband a happy birthday. A lovely time had by all. We would not hesitate to recommend over Esk.

  Thanks for such a detailed review. Sorry for delay I’ve just realised how to respond to reviews. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely week at Over Esk, it was so welcoming and cosy."

  The house is perfect for a holiday with your dogs: the garden is secure and so is the front garden once you close the gate. Throws are provided for the sofas and there are even dog bowls, toys, leads and treats! Our two cockers settled in immediately. From Over Esk, there is a view of the abbey and a good view of the town, it is a ten minute maximum walk into the heart of Whitby. We managed to get a parking spot outside the cottage every day. The house is fully equipped and I enjoyed cooking a couple of nights in the kitchen. There are lots of books, we took games and cards with us. There is Sky TV with all available apps like Netflix and Prime. The only slight criticism I have is that the pillows were hard and I wish I’d taken one from home, but this is probably just me - I have felt this before! It is worth mentioning too that the second bedroom is very small, it has two single beds but no furniture; this was fine for us with children, but would be too small for two sets of adults. Other than these niggles, the cottage is perfect and a real home from home. Whitby is the most atmospheric, beautiful place to stay. It is exactly as Bram Stoker described it. Please make sure you go down to the beach at sunset, it is awe inspiring. We especially liked Staithes and Runswick Bay, the beach at Runswick is great with dogs. Robin Hood’s Bay has to be visited (best cakes too!) but the beach was disappointing, not nice clear sand, very rocky and covered in seaweed. We had mixed weather but actually it was perfect as there is so much to see and do around Whitby, you could never be bored! The walking is brilliant. We can’t wait to go back to Whitby and do all the things we missed! We will definitely return to lovely Over Esk.

  Many thanks. Re pillows we now have spares at the house. We also now have a Simba Hybrid mattress which is very comfy. Property Owner

• "On arrival we were really delighted with the welcome pack, it was fabulous, we were also extremely pleased with the Sky TV provided, however on arrival we had to give the bathroom a clean it wasn’t up to scratch, the mattress on the small double bed was way to soft for us, which I know is a personal preference."

  The location of Over Esk is excellent a nice walk to the centre with a great pub pit stop along the way.

• "Excellent location."

  House as described, thoughtfully presented & very well equipped. Excellent shower. Lovely welcome hamper which was an unexpected surprise, thank you. Sky tv a great extra, thank you. Never had this in a cottage before. Whitby is a lovely town. Lots of history and exploring to do. We loved the piers. We were lucky with the weather. Lots of dog walks very close by. We were also lucky enough to see the Tour of Britain cycle race come down our street :) We walked along river Esk a lot. We walked to Larpool viaduct. Lots of birds to see including a kingfisher. Plenty of places to visit close by. We went to Robin Hoods Bay, Goathland and Thornton Le Dale. Lots of lovely independent shops in Whitby which was lovely to see. Our bins were emptied on Wednesday morning very early on so this was a good thing too. We know we can trust Sykes listings as have used several times before.

  Thanks for a lovely review we walk down near the viaduct a lot and the birds are amazing down there as are the riverside cafes. Property Owner

  Property position very good , housekeeping very poor , the ceramic hob was in a very poor condition my wife spent 30 mins cleaning it , the 2 frying pans had to be cleaned underneath to prevent further damage to hob ,the large utensils in the yellow boot next to hob were all caked in grease all had to be washed before use ,one of my dogs was shedding hair we found the dyson to use it was so clodded up it wouldnt start until it was emptied , the tv unit had not been dusted in ages not value for money compared with previous property near Ruswarp

  Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your recent stay at our property. We were very disappointed to hear we did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We take on board all your comments and will address them as we see fit. The ceramic hob has recently been installed and has had very little use.The pans were new in April but we will look to replace these. The hoover will also be replaced to avoid any further issues in the future. We make sure all areas are cleaned prior to guests arriving using anti bacterial sprays and wipes, whilst we value constructive criticismdid feel some oof your comments were a little unfair. We are constantly upgrading and renewing fixtures and fittings to maintain the high standards we provide for our guests.Previous reviews reflect the efforts we put into our property and the positive comments we achieve by doing this.We do hope you enjoyed our lovely garden and decking area with its quality rattan furniture, a perfect place to enjoy the generous welcome pack we provided for you.

• "Great location within easy walking distance of Whitby just a short 10 -15 minutes walk, would be quicker if we didnt have a couple of miniature dachshunds in toe with little legs."

  Over Esk was exceptionally clean with a lovely welcome pack on arrival, even catered for the dogs with treats and dog toys. Great addition was the SKY TV, I dont think we've ever been anywhere where you can catch up on your soaps on the TV and are not scrambling for something to watch of an evening when you want to relax. Garden is an added bonus and sun trap, with nice furniture to relax in. Every little detail catered for, we will definately be back. Only let down was the small double bed when you are used to a King size.

  Thanks Louise. New Simba mattress now and always trying to improve. Property Owner

• "The owners have done everything to ensure a relaxed and comfortable holiday."

  Such a warm house, we hardly had the heating on at all for the week. The hamper was fantastic. Very safe enclosed garden. The only issue was parking as it was chaotic with residents of the flats across the main road parking in dangerous places and blocking access, but this is outside the control of the owners. Everything about the cottage was otherwise perfect.
