Evening Star @ Engine Shed

The apartment was comfortable and clean and we had no problems with our stay.

Views were good, although required some effort to see out of the first floor windows given how the apartments have been fitted into the old building. There is parking for each vehicle, but it requires considerable manoeuvring to enter and exit some of the spaces.

Firstly we would definitely book again.

Good clean, well maintained accommodation in the perfect spot. My only comment would be that in the evening both adults felt unable to completely relax due to the seating in our particular room not being the most comfortable. I felt it was a sofa more for looks than comfortable BUT, it's not a reason to not book. I want to stress it wouldn't stop us coming again. Definitely recommend.

The apartment was lovely, we enjoyed watching the trains go by especially the steam ones, Evening star is very modern and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable.

It is very handy for walking round Whitby and good that there was a car park. Our only slight niggle was the garage door which wasn’t working properly, we reported it and were assured it was going to be sorted.

So Lovely, stayed for 4 nights.

Great location, parking was a big bonus. Amazing having a perfect view of the Abbey and to watch the trains coming in and leaving. Thank you.

We have stayed in a few properties at the Engine Shed over the past three years.

This was our first in the Evening Star and the apartment is on a par with all of the others - Excellent! I have to mention Jo who is in charge of property management. Anything that needs clarifing is resolved quickly and satisfactorily. Ron Hunter

Excellent location, brilliant accommodation.

Very comfortable accommodation, ideally situated.

Parking garage is a bonus.

Great location, spotlessly clean, perfect few days away

Great location - immaculately presented- quiet-Cosy- perfect holiday accommodation.

Parking a bonus - interesting view of the station and steam trains - would recommend and stay again myself .

Excellent apartment Everything provided that was needed On site parking Steam trains just outside

Spotless.

Plenty of space Quiet & great location. Secure parking - no need for finding parking and paying just walked everywhere. Hardly hear the trains but when we did it was a steam train- great site

The only niggle we had with the property was the breakfast bar stools.

We chose the Engine Shed as a property on the upper floor was recommended for people with reduced mobility. These stools were extremely difficult for someone with arthritis to use . (We only found out how to adjust them by accident) A couple of upright chairs and a small table would have been very much appreciated. On the up-side we found the housekeeping staff very knowledgeable and considerate. They were a pleasure to talk to.

Property was absolutely SPOTLESS !

Fantastic location. Peaceful Safe & secure parking. LOVED it - Will def return

What a gem of self catering accommodation so well appointed and in a great location.

The unique heritage of the building and that it is adjacent to the railway line to and from Whitby with trains ambling by from time to time just makes for the accommodation to be unique and truly fabulous. The quality and standard of the accommodation is exemplary and support and advice is readily on hand but one would seldom need to call upon it because everything is clear and well looked after. We will be back to stay again here and for longer! Fabulous accommodation.

We had an excellent stay at this property, it’s the 4th time that we’ve been there.

A special mention goes out to Jo for the phone call that we received a few day’s before our stay, to let us know that we could check in earlier than expected.

Excellent support and fabulous location, Jo and the team were great

This property was spot on.

Really convenient for all things Whitby. The indoor parking was excellent. Will definitely return.

Great base to stay in this wonderful part of the world.

Property, that was nice and clean, was excellent, facilities were more than adequate and location to the town spot on.

Everything we wanted end of the platform for our grandson so could watch hear and feel the trains coming in and out of the station .

We felt welcomed.lWe loved the apartment it had everything we wanted . The only thing we had a problem with was Saturday no hot water for a shower .Sunday back to normal . We would all come back again. Thank you very much ❤️

Fabulous holiday accommodation, ideal location, loved the Evening Star

Absolutely fabulous place to stay.

All mod cons, very clean and comfortable. Ideal location, no need to use the car. Garage is undercover and secure, no need to unpack in the rain, straight through to the appts. Novelty of the trains passing kept us amused. Would seriously recommend a stay.

Fantastic location.

Clean and well equipped. Hot water is so hot and could easily scold someone who was not aware.( Yes I understand the taps are mixers ) beds are on the hard side but manageable. The second bed room is compact ( you just need to be organised). A 9.30 am exit time is very early. Great to have a secure parking space.

Very nice stay, Thank you

Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location.

Clean and well equipped for a great week away. We loved watching the trains rolling in and out of the station, especially the steam ones. The welcome pack was lovely to have after a never ending journey up. A massive thank you to the house keeper for her help in allowing us to stay a few hours longer than we should have due to my Dads health issue, outstanding service. We look forward to returning again some time in the near future.

The apartment was clean and spacious.

It had everything in for us it was like home from home. It is in a great location for exploring with are young daughters. The only down side is that both beds were incredibly hard and we struggled to sleep.

Lovely 3days spent at Whitby the engine shed.

The only downside was the very firm beds and lumpy pillows. Everything else was excellent.

The location was fantastic, close enough to town to enjoy everything but far enough away to avoid the noise people make.

Great apartment. Clean and had everything we needed and more. Great to also have a parking space.

On arrival at the property things looked great and felt very spacious, however each room (particularly the kitchen/lounge area) was tiny and although well equipped, the sofa was hard and uncomfortable.

There was hardly enough space in each bedroom (you can’t walk around the beds very easily and in the second bedroom, it’s impossible) and one tiny wardrobe was not enough storage for a weeks stay. Both beds were the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept on and even our 11 year old daughter (who could usually sleep anywhere) complained of back ache. Seriously, the beds felt like slabs of stone. The noise outside the apartment was also terrible due to seagulls and noisy neighbours but understandable that is outside of the owners control. The apartment was super clean and well equipped but unfortunately we didn’t receive the welcome pack as described and due to how uncomfortable the beds were, we left after 2 nights (we planned to stay for 5 nights). Lots to improve on….

It was one of the best self catering properties that we have ever stayed in.

Perfect location, fantastic lay out and everything you could need was provided. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you.

The location of the property is fantastic, and the promise of off road parking was a big incentive.

The apartments are finished to a very high specification and Helen provided lots of pre visit information and recommendations. The Evening Star is much smaller than other apartments that are priced the same so we expected them to be the same, however in reality the living space is very small and dark, we are tall and barely fitted in the double beds, especially in room two when there is no room at the end of the bed for long legs. The apartment is on the ground level as you walk into the building but in reality it is in the roof of the Shed, thus the windows are all below shoulder level, so you have to bend well down to look out and there is thick frames and heavy black Iron grating, giving the impression of a prison cell, so although we could technically see the abbey and the river, it was only if we knelt on the floor. Also the 2nd bedroom is so small that you can’t walk round the bed, so the person sleeping next to the window (approx 6 feet from the 6.30am train on the track right next to it) has to climb over their partner for any night time bathroom visit. There needs to be some sort of procedure, perhaps a locking pole at the end of each parking spot, with a key for each flat as it was clear that some people used more than their one space allocation, we were not the only couple who had to park on the road, despite paying for this premium Property on a promise of off road parking. We would definitely stay at the Engine shed again, but definitely not in the Evening star if it stays the same price as the bigger apartments.

Great location, comfortable clean accommodation with modern utilities.

Tastefully furnished. Good communication prior to visit Re: arrangements, Very helpful staff and particularly the owner.Great access to all services. Our grandson enjoyed watching trains come and go .would definitely recommend and revisit when passing this way again. We had a very memorable family holiday at the Engine Shed and Whitby. Thank you for being very helpful. Vasu

Absolutely spotless accommodation, comfy beds and plenty of kitchen equipment.

Well placed for the town.

We loved the 'Engine Shed' the property/facilities were 'first class' and it was immaculately clean.

Undercover on site parking was great and the location was perfect. We will definitely book again.

We loved our stay at the Engine Sheds.

It was a gorgeous apartment in a brilliant location. Very central to Whitby (Less than 5 mins walk to the centre) but not bang in the middle of everything so it wasn’t noisy. The underground parking space was brilliant and the whole place felt very secure. The apartment itself was brilliant, lovely facilities, clean and new. You really do have everything you need, even a washing machine. If I was being really picky then it is useful to know that when it is warm although you can open the windows, we chose not to because the seagulls are so loud and also some trains do come past relatively early. Also there is no outside space at the apartment so it’s not like you can sit out on an evening, although you are so close to everything that you can go for a walk, etc. We would definitely stay there again.

Whilst we can see the owners have put much effort and cost in to this developement, we cannot consider it 5 star or value for money at £779 for 3 nights.

It is listed for four people. Fortunately it was only two of us - it would have been cramped for 4. The second bedroom was so small you could not walk around the bed and the main bedroom had an "en-suite" with a sink that was only suitable for handwashing. The only option for eating was stools at a breakfast bar and the small seating area had a sofa so uprigt and uncomfortable we could not use it. Looking at the plan in the welcome pack it seems 2 bedrooms had been squeezed in to an area where others are one bedroom. Evening Star would have made a very spacious 1 bedroom apartment. On a positive note, the fixtures and fittings were of a high standard.

A fantastic appartment to stay in a welcome pack milk in the fridge and a bunch of flowers .

The appartment was clean and amazing,heating on was appreciated. Would certainly stay again for a family get together. A 5 mins walk into Whitby and watch the trains pass so close to the window was a highlight of the day for the grandchildren. Every thing was a Wow from walking in through the door,.

A beautiful well equipped apartment very high standards throughout excellent parking and easy access to everything in Whitby.

Loved having the steam trains going past our windows during our (late) breakfast!

The only negative thing was the bathroom basin - turn it up too high and you get covered in water.

The fridge door was incorrectly fitted and the noise it made was annoying---such a small comment really

Really enjoyed our stay at the Evening Star apartment at the Engine Shed Whitby.

The apartment, decor, and fittings were "high end" and obviously new. I would definitely stay there again. Regards Mark.

Great place to stay, ideal location and great facilities.

Great location and the parking a real bonus.

The apartment was smaller than I was expecting which was not a problem as there were only 3 of us but 4 adults would have been difficult. My only criticism is the total lack of any instruction on the appliances and equipment available. In the general instruction book it said they were on the TV stand but the TV was on the wall and we never found any. Good quality accomodation though.

Excellent location, superb facilities and parking was invaluable.

Lovely welcome pack, much appreciated. Very quiet, except when the few trains pass. We had an 8 year old boy with us, who loved seeing the trains go past his bedroom window, but nothing provided for children. Suggestion - a few books/games would be good. Whitby, as always, was great. We avoided bank holiday weekend and although busy, everywhere was accessible with no long queues.

The location of the Engine Shed was brilliant, only a short walk into Whitby.

Our two young sons loved the whole experience, especially seeing the trains right next to the apartment. The apartment itself was beautiful. The facilities were very good - everything we could need was provided and everything was well laid out and spotless clean. Being next to the train station didn't cause any issues with noise.

A great location, superbly renovated, very comfortable and well equipped accommodation.

Amazing spot for train enthusiasts too ☺️
