See Glympse

Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable holiday.

Beautiful and spacious property, very clean and with lots of little extras that you don't always get.

Lots of amenities within the property including plenty of fans which was needed during this summer's hot weather! The only slight downside for us was the very small outside space (common in terraced properties) but it didnt spoil anything as we spent so much time out and about. Great location, just 5 minutes walk into town. If you want a lovely, very well presented property I would 100% recommend See Glimpse.

Excellent accommodation everything you need for a lovely holiday.

Great location for all Whitby has to offer. Would stay again.

This was our 3rd Summer stay at See Glympse and as always, we had a fantastic holiday.

We are a family of 2 adults and 2 toddlers. The house is really well suited for a family to explore Whitby, it's always spotlessly clean, really comfortable and in a great location. The kitchen is compact but very well stocked and has a full size fridge freezer which is rare for a holiday cottage and very useful with children. The master suite is very comfortable and everything has been so thoughtfully decorated. We usually manage to find a parking space close by which, again, is quite rare for Whitby! The walk into the town is steep but we've done it numerous times with various toddlers/ dogs/ prams and never struggled- it takes about 10 minutes from the door to the harbour. We're so glad we found our "home from home" and would happily recommend it to any families looking to stay in Whitby.

Lovely property in a great location.

A short walk to Whitby town centre.

We had a lovely stay.

The accommodation was very nice and had everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable

We stayed in the See Glimpse for Christmas with our family and thoroughly enjoyed it, made even better with all the finishing touches and effort in the house.

A beautiful Christmas tree in the lounge done lovely so comfy, Xmas trees in each bedroom with lights and allsorts of little things dotted around the rooms. There is a fabulous bathroom done beautifully. All bedrooms done to high standard. So much cupboard space in the kitchen dining room with everything you need. Absolutely loved it x

We had a lovely stay.

The property was beautiful. It had everything you needed and was warm and clean. Home from home. Fantastic bathroom, loved the bath and shower. We had a great week despite the weather. Thankyou

Lovely place wish we had booked longer

Inside the house was lovely, with all the amenities you would expect.

Slightly marked down because I wasn't certain that the listing made it clear that the 3rd bedroom on the 3rd floor, shared the bathroom on the 2nd floor. Also lots of clock but none worked. Externally, it's showing a bit of ware around the front door. It was also difficult operating the key safe when dark, without the use of a torch, couldn't see the numbers. Overall, we had a lovely stay in a location close to the heart of Whitby and we were all a little fitter following the walk up to the house

Perfect for our group of 5!

Very clean, comfortable and well furnished with some lovely quirky touches! The owners seem to have thought of everything. We particularly loved the large bathroom with roll top bath and great shower. Would recommend without hesitation, thank you for a lovely stay!

The accommodation was perfect in terms of space, comfort and cleanliness.

The experience was only let down by peripheral but important things. The living room TV had three, yes three, controllers, none of which worked properly. There were no dishwasher tablets, requiring us to wash crockery by hand after every meal.

Only observation is it’s a dog friendly house but the rules when you get there for your dog is he’s not allowed on furniture, not allowed in the bedrooms and not to be left in the house alone.

The 1st two rules I understand but our dog is very nervous of lots of people and children so when eating out at night we have to leave him at home where is feels much safer.

We loved our stay in such a beautiful property

Absolutely fantastic property!

I stayed with 2 toddlers and we all had a fantastic time , the kids loved Whitby. The beds were very comfy, dvd played and games lovely touch for the children. Stairs steep but this is clearly stated in the description so just need to watch kids around them. Very central location. House was beautiful.

Great accommodation, every detail has been thought of, well equipped.

Great location for a short walk into town.

This is a beautiful property with every convenience.

Unusually, there is no welcome pack, so don’t forget to bring the basics of milk and such with you. We had an unfortunate start to our holiday, with a cancelled train and then torrential rain as we arrived at the property. We were unable to get in for an hour as there were two keypads and we mistakenly tried the wrong one. We tried to contact Sykes for advice and they responded twenty four hours later. We were able to get through to another company who also let the house and they told us about the second box, which we had assumed to be a security light! It would be helpful if the faulty box was removed so that other visitors do not make the same mistake. It caused us a very stressful start to our break. Surely, If booking with Sykes, you should be able to contact someone in an emergency ?

Great location, just a short walk into centre.

Parking is tricky on street, just need a little bit of luck! Lovely well equipped property, very clean and decorated to an high standard. Fantastic for up to three couples or a large family

We stayed the top floor.

The be bathroom drains were a bit whiffy which wasn't great. The location is great for walking to town but parking is tricky. No outdoor space except for a tiny courtyard out the back so in hindsight it wasn't suitable for the dog. Lovely decor, clean and comfortable house.

A very well placed, comfortable and beautifully designed house.

It had everything you need for a wonderful holiday or short break. Everything has been thought of and we would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thank you See Glympse for a lovely weekend full of special family memories.

A beautiful property, very well equipped and tastefully decorated throughout.

Although we couldn't always park outside the property it was possible to park close by. Situated a short walk from the town, the uphills helped us to wear off some of the food and drink we found in the large number of pubs and restaurants.

Had a lovely stay, the house was perfect.

Lovely property clearly renovated to a good standard.

Ideal location for Whitby town centre - only about 5 minutes walk into town As has been said by others, parking can be difficult - on arrival we had to park a couple of roads away but fell lucky when a couple of cars left shortly after and we were able to move our car. We enjoyed our stay and the property suited our requirements for the weekend

We have had the most miserable holiday ever.

This was due to a restrictive clause imposed on our stay, which was only introduced to us after we had fully paid for the holiday. This was that under no circumstances at any time could our dog be left alone in the house. Why was this never made clear in the initial details? We have stayed at many cottages in Whitby before and are used to ‘dog rules’ which are always made clear from the start. We have no problem with these and happily adhere to them. But this restriction, imposed at the last minute, meant that we could not go into town together, go for long walks during the day together, go out in the evening together…all the things we love to do in Whitby. Our dog is a 12 year old Cavalier with a heart condition, he doesn’t do distance or crowds! The only thing we could do as a family all week was to walk him round the block. We are therefore looking for substantial compensation for a ruined holiday. I have spoken with Sykes today who have told me they will set up a case and get back to me. You cannot impose such restrictive conditions at that stage of an agreement. In fact it is illegal to do so, and this is a route we shall take if necessary.

Stayed here as 3 mature elderly couples for 3 nights and had an amazing stay.

The property is in a good location, a 5 minute walk down to the train station and has ample free parking outside the house or on nearby streets. The house itself is very tastefully decorated, with good quality fixtures and fittings and ample seating for 6 people in the lounge and dining room. There is an unbelievable amount of crockery and cutlery and everything else you could possibly need. There are three good sized bedrooms, all with comfortable beds and two bathrooms. We had an issue on arrival about cleaners having not been in but this was very quickly resolved with the agents and the house was left spotlessly clean. We would definitely use again and can highly recommend. Ps not really suitable for anyone with mobility problems as there are lots of steps.

Fabulous comfortable house in a convenient setting, thank you so much, we will be back!

A lovely stay in See Glympse.

Beautiful furniture and thoughtful decoration and very close to the lovely harbour. Very clean and full of household necessities. A lovely little hamper on arrival too. Only drawback was the lack of parking and row of bins behind the property but this was understandable in a built up area. Will recommend.

Beautiful house with excellent facilities.

Location is convenient for whitby attractions.

What a great place to stay!

This house is spotless, beautifully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything that you could need! Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

The property was lovely.

Everything you needed was supplied. The beds were very comfortable . Beautiful bathroom and spotless clean. The only downside was the parking first come first served, but that’s no fault of See Glympse. Will highly recommend to friends and family.

The property itself was comfortable, we struggled with the firmness of the bed which we found very hard.

Personal preference I know. There was only one tea towel at the property so we had to purchase more. The oven hob is defective and needs attention. There was black mould in the shower cubicle.

Lovely town house decorated beautifully, shame about some of the neighbouring houses that let the area down Can’t fault anything about this property, it’s got everything you need for a relaxing couple of days in Whitby The location is brilliant, 5 minutes walk into the centre We will return

The downstairs of the property needed a good clean.

When we arrived the kitchen floor was covered in large spots of fat, when I cleaned this, the cloth I used was filthy suggesting the floor hadn’t been washed at all. Fat was dripping out of the extractor fan suggesting the filter needed changing. Downstairs definitely needed all the furniture moving and the place ‘bottoming’. The advertised outside space, although small was filthy and totally unfit for use. In no way did it resemble the picture in the advertisement. The dishwasher didn’t work and we had to put salt and rinse aid in it. The en-suite shower upstairs smelt very musty and the fan very dusty ( thus was mentioned in a previous review) This spoilt our enjoyment of what was a pleasant room. The house looks beautiful on the pictures but unfortunately the cleanliness issues would stop us using or recommending it again.

The property was very nicely decorated, warm ,comfortable and welcoming.

There was a good selection of pots and crockery as well as games and movies. It was obvious that great care and attention had been taken to make visitors enjoy their stay. The property was in a good location and only a short walk to Whitby town centre. Building renovation work is ongoing on the street although generally it is a quiet location. On street parking was difficult on some occasions. It was unfortunate that some areas of cleanliness within the property were not up to the expected standard . For example the oven was not clean although foil had been placed in the grill pan. There were three oven trays which were all unfit to use, however these were quickly replaced by the local sales and support team. The bathroom shower safety mats were unfit to use and these were not replaced during our 7 day vacation. The upper shower room is very compact. The shower itself was really nice, however as a shower water is expected to splash on the base during use but the tray was very slippy. Without a safety mat or bath floor mat to step onto when getting out of the shower the floor was also slippy. There was not much room to move about when getting out of the shower or using the sink. Small issues such as dust under furniture and in air extractor vents were noticed. We were asked to remove bedding on leaving which we did. The top bedding as lovely. However two of the actual quits were stained and four of the pillow protectors were very badly stained and not , in our view, suitable for multiple visitors. While these were small points which did not spoil our stay , once again in our view, they let the property down.

Lovely property with everything you could possibly need.

Good location for walking into town. We enjoyed our 2 night stay and would definitely recommend

Beautiful house 200m from the centre of Whitby.

Accommodation had everything you need for a relaxing stay. Everything done to an excellent standard. We stayed over the Christmas period & all decorations and added extras were there to make a wonderful homely feel. We used both rooms, front room for watching films and the dining room for family games as well as eating. We managed to park outside & while parking wasn't plentiful there were spaces available in surrounding streets.

Excellent property with everything you need.

The house is decorated beautifully (a credit to the owners). Plenty of space in-which to relax and forget about the day-to-day troubles. We had a great time in Whitby and will be visiting again soon.

A superb property.

Well thought out design. See Glympse was an ideal property for my family and I. This was a belated 30th birthday treat for my daughter that had been delayed due to Covid ( now 32).My first holiday with my first grandchild. Overall made our stay in Whitby memorable. 5 stars!! Thank you.

Fabulously decorated, very clean and with everything you could want provided.

Parking is difficult but out of owners control. Loved the welcome pack.

The information regarding the property position was accurate.

It was stated that the house was 10 minutes from the beach however this wasn't accurate it was 10 minutes to the harbour and another 10 minutes to the beach. Also it stated there's parking for one car this wasn't the case there was never space on the street we paid £9 x2 (as we went in 2 cars) per day to park the car in the long stay car park. An additional cost of £63 (1car) which we hadn't budgeted for.

Loved this holiday home.

It was very good.

Beautiful house in the heart on Whitby, the house had everything you could ask for and much much more.

We would definitely book the house again. The only con I have is the parking which was quite an issue.

Excellent holiday cottage with lots of character.

Had everything you need for a holiday stay, and everything worked. Great use of space with the little en suite at the top. Good storage. Comfortable beds. Blackout blinds a must in midsummer, and the fans in the rooms were appreciated. We did sleep with windows shut so as to not hear the gulls quite so loud! I think there must have been soundproofing as once the windows were closed we couldn’t hear much at all. Lovely view to the Abbey from the top floor. Be warned of steep stairs - to be expected in this type of house but those with young children or mobility impairment should be warned.

Lovely house.

Very well equipped and great location. Only criticisms are cooker needs a good clean and parking is difficult. Had a great stay though

Everything you could possibly need and more, well decorated, well laid out and stunning bathroom.

So so clean and everything is quality down to the bed sheets. Can't reccomend highly enough!

The property is finished to a high standard and is very comfortable and cosy.

We had no problems parking right outside the property and the location is ideal very central. I would definitely recommend.

Absolutely brilliant stay in see glympse the house is quality though out finishing to a high standard with everything catered for and only 5 min stroll to station inn defo be back

Excellent location and really nice, well appointed property.

Everything was perfect

The house was beautiful we had a wonderful stay.

Only problem was parking but don't let that put you off this lovely house quite location but minutes walk from whitby centre

A beautiful house done to a high standard everything you could need is provided and is of a high quality hilly 10 minute walk up to the house from the centre but that is to be expected in Whitby .

Parking is one a first come first served basis we had 3 cars to park and actually managed it in the surrounding streets even after we had been out for the day but that was just luck I could see it being a problem at times . The house is 3 storey the stairs could be a problem for some . We had a very comfortable stay and would recommend See Glympse the house on the whole was clean but under sofas and furniture in the living room and on top of wardrobes were dusty which stopped it getting full marks for cleanliness. I’m not sure who this point refers to wether it’s the owners , the management company or Sykes Cottages but the long list of to do’s before you leave I found a little annoying . I would always always leave a house tidy on leaving but to be told to strip all the beds and put everything in bags is a bit cheeky we paid a lot of money to stay there a service is being provided I’m on holiday to get away from all that I have never been asked that before .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at See Glympse.

The house is extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. The situation is great as it's not in the middle of Whitby which was very busy but still only takes about 10 minutes to walk to the centre.

We felt the floors were not clean.

Under the sofa was dirty and our socks were dirty walking about (we don’t wear shoes in the house at home) parking was a bit trickier than stated ans the garden court yard was tiny! I think if these things were addressed or explained more it would have been ideal The house however was beautiful and had everything you could ever need and more! Lovely little extra touches

Excellent location with parking surprisingly not difficult for Whitby.

The accommodation was excellent quality and well stocked. The only slight problem is one of the bedroom doors on the top floor would not shut properly.

Whilst being a beautiful, well finished house we feel a mention should have been made about the steepness of the staircases which presented a problem to one member of our party with some mobility problems.

Perhaps you could give some idea of the suitability of properties for older people who may have some limited mobility. The house description led us to expect easy free parking close to the house. This wasn't the case. In a street of 38 houses there was parking for only 18 vehicles. Identical problems existed in adjacent streets.

A wonderful cosy house,with everything needed for a great holiday,easy walking distance of the town centre.

We loved the cottage.

An absolute credit to the owners. Beautifully decorated respecting the period of the property. Has everything you could possibly need I would not book through Sykes again though. Treated customers terribly through lockdown. My aunts was outstanding over £2000 for a holiday that they could not go on at the beginning of lockdown. My review in no way reflects in the owner of the property.

Importantly beautiful house and good location but parking was a nightmare.

Arriving and having to search for a parking space for 30 min isn’t the best way to start your holiday.

A fabulous cottage which is fully equipped, the owners have thought of everything to make the cottage extremely comfortable and welcoming!

Lots of extras you wouldn’t normally have in a rental. Thoroughly cleaned with lots of covid additions in place, hand washes, hand gels, hand towels in all toilets, the kitchen and near the front and rear doors. Bedrooms and beds very comfortable and lots of hangers in the wardrobes! Thick bath towels too! Would highly recommend worth every penny!

After being unable to travel to Rome we felt we still had to celebrate my friend's birthday and what a perfect replacement.

Knowing we had our own space was a great idea but what a space. It's a beautiful property with such lovely decor. Everything was well thought of. Couldn't have had a better break. We will hopefully be back for another visit. Thank you

Parking was always an issue, We found ourselves having to park a couple of streets away and walk to the house.

The house however was very well presented, very comfortable clean and warm. The owners had done a great job with this property and a credit to them. Unfortunately the view from the rear of the property dorma bedroom was of an alley way, but apart from that this house is in a perfect location with a 5 mins walk into Whitby. Location wise this is a great property to base yourselves.

Great cottage , good location.

Only complaint the back alley is filthy something the council need to address.

It was lovely dealing with a great company who always obliged whenever i needed any info the cottage was first class as have all the properties we have booked with you previously can highly recommend

Perfect.

Would definitely recommended staying here. Brilliant location 2 minute walk into town.

What a beautiful property!

Well equipped with everything and more that you could ever need. Tastefully decorated, exceptionally clean. Good location- a five minute walk down to the town and parking was always easy. As it’s dog friendly- a small dog bed would be a good addition as dogs aren’t allowed on furniture. Will definitely recommend and return.

This property has been very tastefully renovated and equipped to an exceptionally high standard. Very centrally situated.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful property. The decorations, fixtures, fittings and equipment are allamazing; so full of love and hard work. Soft furnishings are fab!

Spotlessly clean and everything you could need! Would definitely recommend cottage and loved the hamper on arrival!

Great property! Done to a very high standard.

Beautiful House.

Real Home from home. Will recommend to family and friends. Been coming to Whitby over 30 years and one of the best places we have stayed, a credit to the owners. Hope to come back soon X

We love your house!

Perfect for all occasions, we will definitely be back! Thank you!
