“Can't wait to go home!”

........Unfortunately, for our extended stay in Whitby this year, we booked 2 weeks at 'The Sleepers' . After the first week we thought we'd get used to the constantly creaking floor in the living area, but sadly not.... it has driven us mad! (this was mentioned in a review back in May 2024).

........Unfortunately, for our extended stay in Whitby this year, we booked 2 weeks at 'The Sleepers' . After the first week we thought we'd get used to the constantly creaking floor in the living area, but sadly not.... it has driven us mad! (this was mentioned in a review back in May 2024). As it is an upside down house, you cannot place a foot on the floor in the living areas without it creaking, it is impossible for anyone in the bedrooms to sleep in, or have a quiet space if anyone is using the upstairs living area. The bed was starting to feel uncomfortable and the memory foam topper must have a very long memory as it is well furrowed(again previously reviewed Dec 23!)The weather was not too good, we had wet coats hanging over the bannisters and inside the upstairs toilet as there is nowhere to hang coats as you walk in the front door. The heating controls are placed downstairs, so if you want the sleeping accomodation at a reasonable temperature during cooler weather you are being cooked in the upstairs living accomodation as it gets so hot. We sat there with the heating on to warm the downstairs bedrooms with upstairs windows open! The owner of the cleaning company came round halfway through our stay to address some issues and could not be more apologetic for the welcome pack, the bedding, lack of bin bags, cleaning supplies and for the maintenance issues(all previously reported), she also explained she was limited by the resources provided to her by the owners......she was doing her best. Had we signed up for the cancellation option, we would have cancelled. Sadly, we didn't, not a great Sykes Holiday Cottage Experience.......

“We have been visiting Whitby every year for about 10 years now and always enjoyed our stays in various cottages/apartments etc that we have rented through Sykes Holiday Cottages and others.”

Unfortunately, this time, although loving Whitby still, the accommodation on offer by Sykes Holiday Cottages has been very disappointing. The good points are that it has a good location, is a short walk into town, has its own parking and it was clean and warm. The bad points were that we were greeted with tired, rough, well-worn bedding and one of the most frugal welcome packs we have ever experienced in a cottage rented by Sykes Holiday Cottages. The cottage is basic and in need of TLC. Nowhere to hang coats as you enter the front door, a lack of shelves/hooks in the bathroom, kitchen and bathroom bins that need replacing (lids don’t work and the kitchen bin lid keeps falling off (previously reported)). Later, we discovered the TV only had 6 channels until we noticed the coax connector detached from the aerial cable at the back of the TV. However, the most frustrating and annoying thing of all (again, previously reported) was the creaking floor in the kitchen/living area. The flooring could not be stepped on without creaking. This being an upside-down house, anyone trying to sleep-in or have a quiet time in the rooms below were constantly disturbed by ANY footstep or movement upstairs. On our second day we went out and purchased kitchen roll, toilet rolls, washing up liquid, cleaning cloths and a small chopping board, and had we not found a set of decent bedding, my wife was prepared to buy some for her own comfort. Additionally, we had to buy bin bags, as other than those left in the bins by the cleaner, no others were available. I know this is self-catering accommodation, and expect to eventually buy own supplies, but we have always found a reasonable stock of cleaning materials to assist with keeping the accommodation tidy – at least the basics. So overall, very disappointing. We have enjoyed some lovely properties rented through Sykes Holiday Cottages in the past that have clearly been well managed by them and well loved by their owners, but sadly, this recent experience was not one of them.

“Enjoyed our stay everything you could need apart from maybe 1 or 2 casserole dishes.”

Some fresh milk on arrival would be nice and maybe some people biscuits instead of pet ones!! Fantastic to have parking space but outside space a disappointment no privacy could do with little fence to help hide view of car park. Easy access to town, walk to Ruswarp, Railway and bus station.

October 3rd 2025 To whom it may conceived We have staved in these cottages for the last 8 years This one at least twice, How disappointed we where at the state of the cottage I cleaned the windows last time we stayed and I looks like they have not been cleaned since (waiting for me again) Some of the knives spoons and dishes where not cleaned The bin has still not been replaced (lid does not stay shut) Upstairs toilet door does not stay shut (you have to slam to shut) No towel in upstairs toilet Had to go to local shop to get toilet paper ( less than a quarter of a roll in both toilets The welcome pack, Just a few hotel cartons of milk UHT (again local shop to start) a pint of milk is usual, after a long drive you don't expect to go shopping The cottage would benefit from a few coat hangers to put your wet coats (hallway) The down stairs bathroom has no towel rail or shelf This is not the first time we have used SYKES COTTAGES but it is the first time we have NOT had MILK, TEA BAGS, TOILET ROLLS to welcome US There is no where on the website where it tells you to bring your own things as mentioned above Disapointded Brian, Joan and Archie

“The house was very comfortable, and the location was perfect.”

We were provided with everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was well equipped and there was enough storage space for our food. The view from the window to the abbey was superb. To have a very pleasant house, with its own parking space and within walking distance of restaurants and railway station was perfect.

- Denise, August 2025

“Property well located, just a few minutes to the centre.”

Could do with a little bit of refurbishment. Unfortunately, the beds were very uncomfortable and we did not sleep very well.

“We only booked 3-4 days before we went to Whitby and were very pleased to be able to book one of the railway cottages because of their position and also having a dedicated parking space.”

We have stayed in 2 other railway cottages so were familiar with the layout which is very much like a home from home. The bedrooms being downstairs was definitely a bonus in the hot weather as they kept cool. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay but have dropped a star on the rating because on the negative side we thought the decor could do with a refresh and it was a shame that there was no hospitality tray with a few tea bags, coffee etc to see you through until you got to the shops. On a personal note for us, I didn't like the P bath as I found it difficult to get in and out of as I have limited mobility in one knee and it was quite deep and the taps were in the middle. Also we don't have dogs ourselves and we noticed the living room smelt quite badly of dog, which was really noticeable first thing in the morning in the heat, especially the settee which was fabric.

“We have stayed at Sleeper's quite a few times and wouldn't stay anywhere else in Whitby, it is central for everything you need from either door, We enjoy our stay there & can't fault it!”

!! If anything maybe a TV in bedroom would be good

“Perfect stay at Sleepers.”

Great upside down layout giving full views of river Esk, harbour and abbey. Bonus of occasional steam train passing by. Added bonus of allocated parking space. Very quiet location yet just 5 minutes walk to hustle and bustle of all amenities. Cottage is well equipped, stylish and comfortable. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

- Dianne, June 2025
Marilyn May 2025

“We had a lovely time.”

Central where we wanted to be. Only thing missing was a welcome pack if this is still a normal thing in holiday let’s. I.e. a few t bags, sugar sachets and maybe milk

- Marilyn, May 2025
Joan April 2025

“We had a wonderful weekend the cottage was well placed for all amenities and perfect with its own parking.”

Could maybe have had a spare toilet roll.

“Another lovely stay at Sleepers.”

Great weather too! Cottage is lovely and just right size for the 2 of us plus our little dog. Located in ideal area near bus and rail stations, for getting around doing our walks each day. Facilities are sufficient. Clean and tidy. Nice atmosphere. Good views. Own car parking space is invaluable.

- Ian, March 2025
Linda February 2025

“Would definitely use again , ideal location with parking space and only a 5 to 7 minute walk to all shop's , cafe's & pubs etc.”

The cottage is clean & comfortable but cold do with a bit of a paint refresh in some area's but that wouldn't me booking again. Another positive factor is you have 2 toilets ,1on each level.

Nikki December 2024

“This was our 3rd stay at Sleepers.”

We always check it’s availability first whenever we are planning to visit Whitby. The location is brilliant, only a 5 minute flat walk to the harbour and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. We always find Sleepers Cottage to be comfortable and cosy and has everything we need for a relaxing stay. We noticed that taps which were a little stiff on our last stay had been replaced. The owners are always friendly and helpful if you ever need to contact them. The cottage has lovely views from the lounge windows across the River Esk, across to the harbour and abbey. The cottage has its own off road parking space which is a great bonus in Whitby. We always enjoy our stays at Sleepers Cottage and always recommend it to our friends. We will hopefully be back at Sleepers again soon.

“Wonderful location with handy off street parking.”

Nice and clean and comfortable. Really great watching the trains go past. Enjoyed our stay and would book again.

- Simon, November 2024
Glynn October 2024

“The property is in an Excellent location.”

Short walk to Whitby. With the added bonus of having private parking. All of the following has been said before in reviews - bathroom and toilet taps are difficult to turn on and off. Bed is uncomfortable. To make it properly dog-friendly a fence around outside area would be good.

- Glynn, October 2024
Jason October 2024

“Very well equipped holiday cottage, perfectly located as it is a short and lovely walk into the town.”

A few minor issues which the owner is addressing for future occupants but nothing to detract from our lovely peaceful stay.

- Jason, October 2024
Barry September 2024

“A really enjoyable and comfortable 2 wks spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything you needed.”

our only cryticism the toilet seats were lose the hot tap in toilet a job to turn on and the tap in the sink in bathroom to tight to turn on. apart from the these silly little things it was a wonderful couple of wks

Diàna June 2024

“We enjoyed our stay at Sleepers but although the position is fantastic and a haven for train and transport enthusiasts, it was not a place where we had a decent night's sleep.”

Ironic considering the name of the cottage. This was not due to train noise but the uncomfortable bed. There is room for a king size bed but a rather rickety double with a barely adequate duvet is provided. This constantly slipped off the bed when in use. We gave up and my hisband and I used the two single duvets provided on the bunk beds. However the views from the cottage are wonderful and the property is very clean and conveniently situated.

- Diàna, June 2024
Gary June 2024

“A great property, and a great location, parking space was a big bonus.”

Would highly recommend.

Linda May 2024

“This cottage was a huge disappointment the floorboards in the main room was so creaky when you walked on them that it disturbed anyone that was downstairs in bed ,sofa was badly stained,both taps in the toilet and bathroom are loose which made them hard to use ,back ring on the cooker doesn't stay on ,dirty oven trays that need to go in the bin ,the stairs carpet was dirty as was the rugs at the sides of the bed ,also the bed itself was the most uncomfortable bed we've ever slept in and the bedding was so dated ,with no spare bedding which we haven'tcome across before,we've stayed in a lot of cottages including 2 on the same row as this and the owners have thought about the comfort of there guests but not this owner and considering we paid £1064 for this cottage it was a disgrace and should be up to a good standard ,the patio had weeds growing out of the flags , we did leave early as we couldn't face another night in that bed , so I wouldn't recommend this cottage until the owners sort it out.”

Only bonus to us was the parking space .

- Linda, May 2024
Christopher May 2024

“Overall a lovely comfortable holiday cottage.”

Good location and ideal parking. However... The tap on the basin in the bathroom was difficult to operate. A two handed job. We bought a bath mat for our confidence in the shower. The TV aerial was not connected but eventually sussed it out. Back right gas ring not staying on, as reported in the safety report. The others worked efficiently. Looking back, we had a lovely week. Would book again.

- Christopher, May 2024
Sharon April 2024

“Central & car parking was great.”

Unfortunately we asked Sykes if we could be relocated & nothing came of it…It may be dog friendly but NOT dog secure…couldn’t sit out & just leave the dog outside. Cleaning issues re: dirty rim toilet, oven door, cobwebs, bathroom taps need attention, bedding thin (no extra blankets) No welcome pack…Just not enjoyable & expected more!!

- Sharon, April 2024
Shirley March 2024

“Great location, nice property.”

Bunk beds make second room very limited for getting in and out of bed with mobility issues also limits space for getting dressed. Two single beds would be much better. Second room more suitable for children, not adults.

“This is the second time we have stayed at Sleepers and we love it and I’m sure we will be back again in the next year.”

We find it comfortable and cosy and in an ideal location and having the parking space is a god send in Whitby! We think this cottage is great value for money, not overly luxurious but not overly expensive either so think the cottage is of a good standard for the price we pay. The view from the lounge windows is wonderful and we saw some amazing sunrises with the sun rising across the water from us. As in the previous review, there did seem to be an issue with the shower temperature, however, these things happen in holiday cottages just as they might in your own home so we contacted the owners using the details in the information pack and managed to sort out the problem quickly and easily between us. We were then able to enjoy hot showers for the rest of the week. We did not have a problem with the heating or finding the temperature control as it is fixed to the wall. The cottage seemed to get warm very quickly once the heating was on so worked well for us. It’s great that it has 2 toilets especially one by the front door, very useful! Plenty of plates and dishes which makes sense as there is a dishwasher so it meant we could put things in the dishwasher and wait until it was full instead of having to set it I ff half empty because we had run out of plates . There’s plenty of worktop space to store any dry food and a large fridge freezer. We didn’t use the cooker as there are so many restaurants and takeaways in Whitby to try! We found the bed comfortable and had no problems sleeping, maybe the key to this is trying out the many pubs in Whitby! We used the washer dryer which is great as we could wash our clothes when we had got back from walking the dog. The cottage is ideal for us and suits what we need perfectly and we will definitely be back again!

“Bridget Jones thought she was going on a luxury spa weekend and found herself in a music festival yurt: I know how she felt.”

Entry at the back of the property revealed a lacklustre double room (a stack of cushions you have to shove in the wardrobe does not a bedroom make). The mattress looks and feels like a ploughed field. The second bedroom may well be a delight for toddlers but for an adult…no. We were also aware of a strange odour. The living/kitchen/dining area is quite aesthetically pleasing but the sofas are not particularly comfortable (and what is it about excessive cushions?!?). There are so many plates and bowls in the cupboards there is nowhere to store food. The gas jet mentioned in a previous review is still inoperative. The cooker is a bit dodgy too. The showers on “I’m A Celebrity “ are probably better than the one here: no one managed to have a warm, let alone hot, shower while we were here. This is once you’ve clambered over the bath taps and found your Torville and Dean sense of gravity because there is no shower mat. We tried the bath. It filled with lukewarm brown water so gave up on that. When emptied, it looked as though we had washed bricks in there. The grouting could do with a good scrub too. The information pack is dog eared, full of crossings out and out of date(2022 bus timetable and it’s nearly 2024 and we know COVID restrictions meant changes but we’ve exempt now: time to remove that sheet and maybe put some “non essentials” back). It proudly lists the plethora of crockery (but there are actually 18 bowls not 12) (nowhere to store your cornflakes but 18 bowls to eat them from)) but doesn’t mention where the heating controls are. The neighbours have jet washed the slabs and tried to turn them into a patio. We have returned to all of the many cottages we have rented over the years at least once: we won’t be back here. In fact we left on Thursday. I suggest the owners book themselves in for a week to understand the dismal experience Sleepers offers.

“Not one of the best skyes cottage we have stayed in .”

No welcome pack , bed very uncomfortable taps in shower where very hard to turn on had to get my partner to turn shower on for me and to turn off , it needs a complete overhaul , won't be going again .

- Ducan, November 2023
Brian September 2023

“Most / every cottage we have stayed in has a welcoming pack BUT not this one (no milk, no bread, no salt, no pepper).”

Maintenance of the property was not very good i.e. Boiler pressure was at zero (I am a boiler engineer so fixed it ,it was left working at 1.5Bar) the toilet upstairs push button very stiff, tap in the lower bathroom very stiff my wife could not use it, the windows needed a clean (outside) otherwise the property was clean

- Brian, September 2023
Colin September 2023

“The views from the cottage are brilliant, the interior was a let down, the oven was not very clean and one of the burners would not ignite also the grill pan was just left after being used, the general cleanliness was just about passable, the double bed mattress was very comfy, shame the springs that supported it made squeaking noises every time you moved.”

Our personal view is the cottage was not worth the cost. Whilst we were at Whitby we have found a better cottage a lot cheaper

- Colin, September 2023
Tracy September 2023

“Overall a great place to stay , location is brilliant and with it's own parking space which is a massive bonus .”

The only complaint we had was that the shower was on the cold side , but it certainly would not stop me staying again .

- Tracy, September 2023
Karen August 2023

“It is a lovely property.”

We would have liked a welcome pack… ie some milk, tea, coffee, bread, bottle of wine/beer…..maybe something local as a taster. We had this last year at one of the cottages along from you and it was a nice touch. Thank you for s lovely stay.

- Karen, August 2023
Annette July 2023

“The property was reasonably clean .”

The cooker needed a good clean didn't want to use it .outside space needed tidying up .look at the next door property for example.

- Annette, July 2023
Ross July 2023

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Sleepers.”

It was very convenient for easy access to the town centre and all the attractions of Whitby. Also it was very handy to be able to park the car in the dedicated space so near to the cottage. However the tap in the downstairs bathroom needs repair/replacement as it was very difficult indeed to operate. Also the extractor fan in that room needs attention as it was blowing back into the room. We would happily return for another stay.

- Ross, July 2023
Catherine June 2023

“The location of this cottage must be one of the best in Whitby if you want to be on the flat and have a parking space next to your property as both of these things are extremely rare!”

We could walk to the co op in 2 mins and the centre of Whitby in 5 mins all on the flat which like I said is near impossible! Apart from that the cottage was comfortable and clean and met all our needs! The views from upstairs ( lounge windows ) were really lovely with a view of Abby etc and the stream trains going past was novel. We have a dog and found a lovely safe walk at the side of the track ( just outside cottage ) that had some amazing views! I would definitely recommend this cottage especially if you struggle with the steep hills that surround the whole of Whitby.

- Catherine, June 2023
Derek June 2023

“We were really disappointed from the minute we opened the door it didn't look, feel or smell clean.”

No basic milk teabags soap. No tv signal all week. Fridge door shelves missing, bottom one broken. No bath mat so very slippery when we had a shower. Shower screen on outside of bath so water splashed onto the floor,not very good when getting out of the shower. The cottage could do with a good clean and upgrade This is the first time we have ever complained about a holiday let. Such a shame definitely won't be returning to sleepers cottage.

- Derek, June 2023
Mandy May 2023

“Loved the Sleepers cottage, it was fully equipped, like home from home, and had it's own off road parking, which is great, is ideally situated a couple of minutes walk to the shops, bars, etc.”

Right next to the railway station, love watching the steam train

- Mandy, May 2023

“Second time visiting Sleepers and a lovely cottage in a perfect location.”

Will go back again in the future if the main bedroom bed can be upgraded as it was not comfortable. Everything else was great!

Jo February 2023

“This is our 7th time staying at Sleepers.”

It’s ideal for a small family or couple. There is no enclosed area for the dog but we have always managed with a lead or extending lead from the doorstep. The sleeping arrangements are great for kids but sadly our offspring are both near 6 foot and we’ve sadly outgrown the cottage! The trains passed in the evening a couple of times and notably at 6:30am. Not an issue for us but late sleepers beware! We make daily use of the coop, and fish and chips, pizza and curry are all a 5 min walk away. The parking space is a real plus too. Views are excellent, house is toasty. Sad we can no longer fit in! Thank you for the last 8 years!!

Nicola December 2022

“We had a brilliant stay at sleepers.”

It is ideally located, very close to shops for supplies, (such as the Co-op) Whitby's attractions, bars and restaurants. The cottage itself is very homely, warm and cosy. It has everything you need, with a well kitted out kitchen and is a great base. The trains passing did not disturb us at all and it was fun to see them going past with the added bonus of being close to the railway path to walk along to Ruswarp in 30 minutes. The washing machine/dryer was very handy especially for a winter stay. The upstairs toilet as you come in to the property as well as the bathroom downstairs is a god send especially when used to this at home. We had the best time in Whitby and this beautiful cottage made our stay perfect.

- Nicola, December 2022
Sarah October 2022

“Absolutely gorgeous cottage in an amazing location!”

We loved watching the steam trains go past and ideally located for strolls into Whitby itself. The only downside to the holiday home was the lack of cleaning products available! I’ve never stayed in a property where there wasn’t even a bottle of surface spray!! The toilet downstairs leaked all the time and there was a dreadful smell from the drain in the bathroom, we kept having to clean up the water on the floor each day. We had to leave a day early due to family illness but struggled to clean due to the vac being blocked and not picking up! I know these are small issues but not things I wished to be facing whilst on holiday!

“Cottage wonderful It had everything that we needed and was walking distance for the centre of Whitby.”

A bit of a carry on getting in as we couldn’t find the key safe. The description re the cottage didn’t say that it was round the back of the cottage but when we rang the office we spoke to the cottage owner who explained the whereabouts of the key Tried to book it again for September but it wasn’t available but managed another one through Sykes. This will be our fourth booking in two years so that says all Carole Estelle Wilson

“Most utensils in the property except for some reason no egg slicer to lift eggs out of frying pan.”

Except for plenty of crockery, plates mugs and knives and forks, they seem short on basic things such as dishes for microwave and oven. Guests do cook meals while on holiday and not always eat out.

Jo February 2022

“We’ve been coming to your cottage for 6 years at Feb half term and love it.”

This year our only complaint was the super complicated toaster, which we gave up on and used the grill! Please can you put a bog standard one in again for next year?!! We have never found the trains intrusive and always have a lovely stay. We’ve also never really got the heating right, but it’s always been warm, this year through storms Eunice and Franklin we were toasty. We always end up with the windows open upstairs later on, when we get too toasty. The location is perfect, the parking space is worth its weight although it’s tight to get in and out of. Booked for next year already. Thank you.

- Jo, February 2022
Jane February 2022

“Wonderful week, Whitby is amazing.”

The cottage is very well located and parking a bonus. The cottage was well appointed and nicely furnished. Couple of little niggles we found, broken appliances and utensils which we reported to the owners on the number in the handbook, no response to date which is a little disappointing. Despite this would recommend the cottage.

- Jane, February 2022
Alan December 2021

“A nice clean cottage in the middle of Whitby but in a quiet area.”

Everything you need for a holiday. There are trains going past but that didn't bother us. Had a great stay.

- Alan, December 2021
Valerie October 2021

“We loved our stay in Whitby.”

The cottage is in a fantastic position near to everything but far enough away to be quiet. The trains going by was a bonus for me. Sadly the cottage facilities were a bit tired and lacking; in the kitchen there was a dishwasher but NO dishwasher tablets. The kitchen utensils were poor, broken spatula, pans scratched due to there being no wooden or silicone utensils. Kitchen drawers needed a clean, crumbs and old tea towels and questionable oven gloves. Lounge area very comfortable, TV a bit old (a smart tv with ability for people to use their own Netflix or Prime would be better, especially on a wet day when you might just want to chill) DVD worked but the connector to the TV didn’t fit too well meaning it made a background buzzing throughout. Double bedroom great, comfy bed and lots of storage .Bathroom was good, nice bath and super shower. Dust inside radiator and on extractor fan disappointing and a bit unpleasant Bunkbed room ; overcrowded with furniture which made the room feel claustrophobic and musty. Beds uncomfortable and certainly wouldn’t feel ok with 2 adults in this room. ( perhaps this is why there is not a photograph of this room on the website) Bed linen in this room was very tired bobbled and unpleasant ( luckily found some better in the store cupboard) Overall we did enjoy our stay just feel it needs updating. Deep cleaning and a few new purchases. Finally a welcome pack of at least milk, but a few bits like milk, bread, tea bags, salt and pepper, kitchen roll and dishwasher tablets (all which are standard in holiday let’s nowadays would be an improvement) Sadly we would not stay here again. Would recommend for 2 adults with 2 children but not for 4 adults and a dog as we had booked for in view of bunked room ) Thank you

Thank for your feedback, we were surprised to read this as you gave us a lovely review last year and did not mention any issue at the time with the kettle. If we had known you had a concern, we would have rectified that immediately. We haven't had any other guest mention any concerns about the kettle but we will certainly check it as soon as possible and also the hoover. Thank you for letting us know. Property Owner

“The property needs a good clean as thick dust under beds, wardrobes and units.”

The bath panel has thick dirt at top. When sat in Bath u could see dirt inside under rim of toilet. There seemed a lot of flies . It's a lovely cottage in need of a good clean

Gary July 2021

“Lovely property right by the railway line and the early train did not disturb my sleep and I am a light sleeper.”

My only little grumble, is that though there was a parking space it is a bit difficult to access and reverse into as it is down a track and if you have a really large car it would be difficult to park. # Saying that if I decided to stay in Whitby again, I would consider this property.

“We had a great time again, the only downside was the wooden floor in kitchen/ dining area was sticky and had probably been chewing gum or something similar and the rubber seal on the glass shower could really be taken off and cleaned.”

The bedding was lovely as is the whole cottage except the couple of the above mentioned. This is our second time at the cottage and we will always recommend to others. Location is excellent. I did clean the floor as it was not nice under foot,

“Lovely cottage, well appointed with added benefit of allocated parking space.”

Ideally located close to all the facilities of town and harbour, the cottage is also located at the start of pleasant riverside / railside walk into countryside and nearby village, ideal for dog walking, with refreshments available at village pub. Would also recommend walking the 'Cinder Trail' from Whitby, over the viaduct, towards Robin Hoods Bay, with wonderful views along the way.

“It was impossible for anyone to sleep downstairs if someone was still using the upstairs lounge/kitchen.”

The floor in the lounge/kitchen creeked and cracked when one walked about. We did not feel welcome in this cottage with not one drop of washing up liquid or even one dishwasher tablet.

Our little dog was immediately settled in too.Our children and grandchildren would love this here in whitby. The cottage is in my words perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids or young adults. It really was clean, a place for everything and well stocked .. loved it especially as it was our 44th wedding Anniversary. Cant wait till next year.

“We had a very enjoyable stay in Whitby between Christmas and New Year.”

The cottage was in a perfect location. It was lovely, clean, cosy and well equipped. Nice gesture from the owners too leaving us a card, biscuits and fizz to toast the New Year! Would definitely recommend.

- Joanne, December 2018
Linda December 2018

As always Sykes were very helpful when booking our stay.

- Linda, December 2018
Gina September 2018

“We had a fabulous stay in Sleepers and could not fault the cottage at all.”

There are just a couple of points we wanted to make - the ironing board is slightly twisted and does not sit flush to the floor and seems quite dangerous. I had to iron holding the ironing board at all times. Also when we arrived we didn't realise parking was around the rear of the property. As we have a VW van which is low profile we were unsure if we would be able to park. Luckily we did manage the parking and were able to use the gates to the side of the property to get in and out of. We look forward to booking Sleepers again in the future.

- Gina, September 2018
Theresa August 2018

“What a fantastic place to visit.”

Well worth a holiday. The views are spectacular, there us so much to do. Yorkshire Dales view is out of this world. Must have a ride on the steam train,go on a boat trip. Visit Goatham,which was used in Heartbeat as the Aidensfield Arms lovely dinner and walk round the village its as if you were in a scene from the programme. You must walk the steps up to the Abbey in Whitby,tiring but you can say you have done them. Have a ride round the villages, and take in the lovely scenery as if like us everything at home is brick built and built up areas,there its stone,old and spacious. Whitby is big,keeping walking around the streets and you find more and more. Sutcliffes art gallery has lovely black &white prints of the old days. Sherlocks tea rooms is a must, fantastic food,decor is lovely. One thing to be aware of wear flat shoes as steep hills and cobbles everywhere,your be fit by the time you have finished your holiday. Well worth the 7hour car journey.

- Theresa, August 2018
Vic July 2018

“Apart from very hard beds cottage lacked a welcome feel.”

Outdated information regarding tv operation next to none about local area eg location of shops etc. Most places we have stayed before at least put a pint of milk and a few teabags ready but not even a bin bag in Sleepers. Train noise no issue but no mention in the listing of the municipal car park at the front of the property used as an ad-hoc racetrack and boat yard both late at night and early in the morning

- Vic, July 2018
Alan June 2018

“Only a few minutes walk into town, no need to use car as Train and Bus stations close by.”

Very convenient for shops and a good choice of places to eat. Also good view of the Abbey and Harbour. Lovely to see the Steam train passing right by our window.

Kathleen May 2018

“We were not able to locate the free view box for tv, I texted the owner as her mobile number was left should any problems be found.”

Unfortunately she did not reply, as I could also have informed her there was a problem with the gas hob, right side back did not light! Did not spoil the experience, very happy with holiday home in general.

- Kathleen, May 2018
Joanne May 2018

“As this was our 2nd visit to sleepers, we knew what to expect but one or two things let us down a little this year.”

The cottage is beautifully appointed with your every need thought of, unfortunately the standards have fallen since last year. The beds in both rooms were possibly the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept on, ( when you wake up in pain that's not good). There was not enough coat hangers in either wardrobe. The hairdryer that was in the double room last year was missing and as the weather was so warm we had been on the beach and decided to wash our sandy clothes we then discovered that the washing machine would not spin, thankfully it was really warm and we were able to dry our dripping clothes outside. We enjoyed our stay but feel that a little more attention to the things that are very important would have made it better. We really feel that it does not meet the four tick rating that it has.

David February 2018

“Sleepers is an amazing little property; this is our second trip and we’ve already booked again.”

Whitby is stunning and Sleepers makes the most of its location with views over the chandlers yard and up to the abbey if you lean on the windowsills and look left. It’s freezing in February but the cottage is cosy and has everything you could need (apart from a sharp knife). WiFi meant our daughter could nip back and revise for her GCSE mocks and our son could stay connected to his teenage phone world when we weren’t out walking the beaches, steps or wandering through town. Or crabbing- which I’m hoping he’ll have grown out of next year as with a windchill of -1 it was not my idea of fun, although he loved it. Lots of cafés are dog friendly. The best hot choc is takeout kiosk at the foot of the 199 steps, and a trip to fuzzy dogs bakery for dog treats is a must (closed tues/wed). Also if you have an eclectic party like us, the Rusty Shears for gin, cakes, coffee and a good warm up is worth a visit.

“Enjoyed Sleepers cottage I am in the process of booking it again, the cottage was lovely and clean,the views out of the upstairs windows with views of the harbour were great.”

From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself.
