“Cottage was lovely. Just right for two and had all we needed. Was in a quiet area. Bed was comfy. We didn't move the car all week. Either walked from cottage each day or caught the little bus which runs every half hour. Lovely walks nearby and also visited Howarth. There is lots more to see and do,we shall be back. Plenty of good coffee/eating places. We enjoyed a couple of visits to the cafe at the the PO just up the road too.”
“In my experience Sykes Cottages are reliable and easy to deal with. I have used Sykes on a number of occasions but as I have never had any problems it is difficult to comment on how effectively they sort issues.
I am happy to recommend Sykes to any prospective customers.”
“The appartment at 32a bank st was great! Ideal for what we wanted - central, great access to shops, warm and very comfortable. Thank you! Could have done with a few more items in the kitchen - tin opener, cafetière, larger bowls, grater etc but otherwise the appartment was very well equipped and great location”
“Lovely cottage, well equipped, spotlessly clean, beautiful interior. Would highly recommend. Only 2 small issues - take your own fire stick as TV is not smart TV. We did find one in drawer which must have been left by previous occupants but had this not been left we could not of watched films etc.
We visited 1st week of February, it was cold and wet, the heating does come on 3 times but as soon as goes off the downstairs becomes quite cold. Maybe leave on at a lower temperature as would maintain a certain warmth and probably be cheaper in long run. Saying that the log burner was fabulous.”
“The house was in a perfect location in central Whitby. It was warm, comfortable and well equipped with plenty of logs. It was quiet at night and our two cars were parked on the driveway.”
“Efficient booking system however extremely elevated prices compared to the same property on different sites. We found ours was almost a third of the cost of elsewhere.”
“This was an amazing house. Very spacious and well equipped. Very clean. The upstairs area was great. We had great fun playing pool tournaments. Would definitely recommend and go back. Ross was a great host.”
“A beautiful cottage down a track with bags of character. Plenty of room to spread out to enjoy your stay but near enough to the village not to feel isolated”
“We were extremely disappointed with our stay. We specifically booked this lodge because it advertised an on-site swimming pool, and we planned to use it daily during our six-night stay.
Upon arrival, we were informed that the boiler had broken but had supposedly been fixed, and that it would take one day to return to the correct temperature. However, each time we enquired throughout our stay, we were told there was still an issue and to try again the following day.
Unfortunately, it felt as though we were being fobbed off. When we raised our disappointment upon departure, we were then told that the boiler actually needed to be completely rebuilt and that they believed we had been aware of this — which was absolutely not the case.
The swimming pool was one of the main reasons we chose this particular lodge and justified the significant cost of our booking. Given that this key facility was unavailable for the entirety of our stay, we believe a partial refund would be appropriate.”
“Very warm, fairly well equipped but no freezer or dishwasher. One or two bulbs weren’t working and no signal on tv in bedroom. Very foggy when I stayed but countryside probably very scenic”
