    “There are a few Positives for this property which I will mention - Location - ideal for town, beach and sea area; Cleanliness - clean, fresh bedding and towels; Bathroom and kitchen, clean with very clean appliances.”

    Unfortunately I also need to mention the Negatives - I understand that the property is very old, however that doesn’t account for broken door panels, crumbling steps into downstairs toilet and rain pouring into kitchen above window where we had to place a bucket to catch the water. Also we were led to believe this was a pet friendly property with a small outside space - the outside space is very, very small and it is also very unkempt. When we arrived it had two small patio chairs and a table ...

    Unfortunately I also need to mention the Negatives - I understand that the property is very old, however that doesn’t account for broken door panels, crumbling steps into downstairs toilet and rain pouring into kitchen above window where we had to place a bucket to catch the water. Also we were led to believe this was a pet friendly property with a small outside space - the outside space is very, very small and it is also very unkempt. When we arrived it had two small patio chairs and a table which filled the space and were all very dirty. The whole tiny outside space was dirty and I had to brush it before I would allow my small dogs to go out. I really feel Sykes should view this outside space as it cannot be classed as such. Another area which future occupants need to be made aware of is parking. The nearest parking is by the local Co-op which is quite a walk away and costs £10 per 24hrs - individuals may want to consider this when costing for their holiday. We enjoyed our holiday and we love Whitby and all it has to offer but this property doesn’t compare with other holiday properties we have enjoyed with Sykes.
