Beachfront

We loved our accommodation.

It was walking distance to everything. Parking can be difficult on weekends.

This was our second trip here , first one was after initial lockdown was lifted.

Have to say, some of the comments around tired in places are accurate and finding dirty dishes put away is not a great start to a holiday. Location in terms of views was great as expected but a lot more noise this time, boy racers up racing up the Khyber pass each night and a bar playing louder music than last time. Do not come here if you dream of just listening to the sea until the early hours. Would we return, no, i don't think we will.

Beautiful property, we had a lovely few days at beachfront, the beds were very comfortable, it was spotlessly clean and in the perfect location.

The welcome pack was a lovely surprise too, We will definitely be back

This was our second visit to Beachfront!

Amazing! Comfortable, clean, convenient. Parking so easy. Not sure about booking it for a summer break though but would definitely return out of season.

Our second stay at the property.

Nothing to fault it. We’ll be back…

My 10 day Christmas holiday was perfect thanks to this lovely clean accommodation, the views were outstanding from every window, I was mesmerized.

The Christmas tree was a lovely suprise and the welcome pack. It was right on the beach and it was lovely hearing the waves, the pubs & shops were only a few minutes walk away... I am looking forward to coming here again. Only negative which is a peti one..... There wasn't a potato masher , so I had to mash my potatoes with a spoon on Christmas day lol ... But obviously everything else made up for that ... So Thank you very much for a lovely stay ❤️

Very nice stay wecome pack was nice surprise we loved it

My husband and I come up to Whitby at least 3 times a year and always use Sykes cottages but this has got to one of the best properties we've stayed in!

The position is great. The parking brilliant. The property is spotless, well equipped and with magnificent views. The only very little niggle was that, at only just over 5ft, I couldn't use the mirror in either bedroom! Thank you so much for the welcome pack.

A lovely property in a great location.

We particularly enjoyed the views from the property of the harbour, abbey and beach.

Absolutely beautiful nothing wrong with the apartment at all would give 100% the views are amazing close to all amenities beach, shops, food, we were there for Regatta so was a little hectic for 1st 3 days if you are looking for quiet be mindful there are childrens rides outside which are noisy but not too bad and they close around 7- 7.

30 but overall it's a fantastic location

The property was absolutely spotless, beautifully presented and had everything we needed.

We will be hard pushed to find a property to top this one.

We loved our stay at beachfront.

The views are spectacular.We even had a treat for our dog in the welcome pack.Everything had been catered for and the flat was very clean and comfortable.will definitely be returning .

Desperately needs a coat of paint.

Looking shabby. Mold in the bathroom

Thank you for a wonderful weeks stay.

The location is amazing and the property is very warm and comfortable. The welcome tray of goodies was great and meant we could have a cuppa and a biscuit when we arrived. The childrens fairground outside the front was noisy when it was operating but we were expecting that, it was only open for the weekend so that wasnt a problem. The views of the harbour from all windows meant a lot of time was sat just watched was going on in the harbour and on the piers. At night it was lovely to just sit and watch the lights and sunset. Thank you.

It was very clean and comfortable - and great location except for being directly across from The House of Mouse, which was rather noisy during the day but happily they closed before evening.

There were even welcome snacks provided, and helpful tourist information. We felt right at home. Very enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and the apartment was lovely, quirky and nicely decorated.

To improve things the WiFi needs to be better as it kept dropping out. I expected condiments such as salt, pepper and sugar to be provided but we. Had to buy them. There was a scratching noise in the twin bedroom that we first thought was mice but it was nesting starlings that had got under the roof tiles. A heads up to the owner is that some of the flashing have failed in the window areas of the lounge and there is evidence of damp. The vinyl is lifting in the bathroom and needs refitting. The toilet is difficult to use for anybody who is tall as it has very little leg room. The internal cladding is falling off internally and a section in the shower needs refining as it has dropped. Omh and a potato masher would have been useful. The noise from the arcade below was louder than we thought it would be but we were out most of the time so not a major issue, and you did warn us. I hope to these comments are of use to you. We would definitely use the apartment again and had a great holiday.

The property was ideal for us.

The view over the sea and dock is wonderful. Whitby is a great place to visit for a short break.

Superb views.

Very well equipped. Great location, although parking is a bit of an issue. Perhaps a bit more light for reading in the lounge area is needed. However, highly recommended and we are already booked in for another stay this year.

Location great lovely views very comfortable beds and seating.

Wifi slightly ropey in certain parts of the cottage. Christmas tree was a nice touch. The welcome pack was great and the bottle of milk in the fridge was very welcome.

The property was delightful.

Clean, warm and in a great location. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and will be returning to this cottage

This is our second time staying at this beautiful apartment.

Breath taking views, ideal location right on the pier. Facilities were excellent we had everything we needed and it was spotlessly clean. The welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated.

The rug smelt doggy so both my dogs proceeded to mark it with urine sorry

I stayed for the week with my daughter and dog.

.. we all loved the accommodation, the location was perfect, I loved listening to the waves in the evening..... The views were so good, I loved waking up looking out at the sunrise.... The beds were comfy as was the electric settee, the shower was so powerful, I could look out at the sea and the Abbey whilst having a shower

Lack of Wi-Fi except next to front door, mouldy shower, shower visible from harbour wall with no window coverings in bathroom, toilet too close to opposite wall had to sit sideways, blaring security lighting from children’s ride outside bedroom window, could easily read a book with the poorly fitted curtains closed, “smart” tv could not connect to poor Wi-Fi, general condition poor with floor coverings sliding downhill leaving gaps by skirting boards, doors don’t close properly, light bulbs not working, threshold strips lose and flooring edges exposed, stained cooking equipment, filthy floor rugs, cobwebs, grotty bin store advertised as laundry room, overall condition is poor and in desperate need of maintenance.

The location is fantastic, the mattresses comfortable and clean, the view is good, would definitely NOT stay here again.

Me and my mum had a lovely stay in Whitby at Beachfront.

The location was great with the shops and attractions being so close. So peaceful in the morning and evening. The views from the property were stunning. I will not forget being soothed to sleep by the sounds of the waves and being woken by the sound of the fishing boats leaving the harbour in the morning. And then gazing out to sea with my morning cup of tea!

Cleanest apartment we have stayed in for a long time, what a lovely gesture with the milk, coffee,Tea and biscuits, just what you need on arrival ,we would recommend a stay here to anyone .

Thank you and we will be back.

Could not have picked a better place for our weeks stay in Whitby.

Great sea views from the windows,the accommodation was spacious and very comfortable,the welcome pack we recieved was lovely,having the pint of milk left for us in the fridge was very welcome as we were able to make a cup of tea before we went to the shops for supplies. Would love to stay here again.

Couldn’t find the washing machine, assumed it was in the locked room at the end of the building but our key didn’t work.

Second time here, it’s great

Fantastic place and the location couldn't be better.

Beautiful apartment, superbly presented, immaculately clean, fantastic location.

Heating wasn’t working but plumber arrived with an hour of calling and promptly fixed the problem.

The Old Sailors Rest was a beautiful apartment.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable. The welcome pack was really appreciated. It could not have been closer to the beach and all the attractions at Whitby. The free parking outside was a bonus. We loved our stay there and would definitely recommend it.

We’ve had the most amazing time.

Location is fantastic, views amazing, proximity to everything is just great and the accommodation is perfect. It was tidy, clean and very cosy. We couldn’t be happier! The only thing that made a slight difference was the noise from the House of Mouse outside the property. Other than that we couldn’t recommend it more. We’re already talking about when we’ll be back. Thank you so much for helping make a wonderful holiday!!

No guest book, the property could have been cleaner, the downstairs lobby area was pretty grim.

Despite these areas we had a great holiday. The welcome tray was a nice touch.

No mirror in main bedroom no kind of dressing table to do hair and makeup only very small mirror in other bedroom which we had to share

I went for a week to this property with a friend and once I'd won the fight for the double bed we settled down to have a great time.

The beaches and countryside there are beautiful so we did lots of walking, rode the steam train, visited the local sites and lots of pubs. A lot of reviews mentioned the noise from the children's fairground ride but it was only open on Saturday until 5pm so didn't disturb us at all. If there was anything we would have appreciated having in the flat it would be a salad spinner and servers and more hooks in the bathroom to hang wet towels but nothing that spoilt our stay. Would happily stay at the property again.

Couldn’t find awashing machine which it said there was.

Apart from that everything was great.

Great stay in a fantastic location yous will defo see us again

requires new beds the ones you got are noisy & uncomfy , decor as you walk in needs updating , locks to the property need upgrading , shower head filthy , not a great stay if i'm being honest

The only thing that spoiled it for us was the childrens funfair which is very close.

We realised that it could be from 10-5 but on our first few days there it went on until 9 p.m. It would be quite bearable if it wasnt for the ride with the very loud toot tooting and bell clanging train noise. For this reason we wouldnt go back there. We thought the living area, kitchen and bathroom were very nicely set out.Loved the electric sofa and the kitchen with everything provided was very good. We would definitely recommend this with its lovely views and close proximity to everything if it wasnt for the noise.

This apartment is well equipped and in a great location.

Everything we needed was located nearby and the Fisherman's Wife restaurant next door is excellent for all seafood . The welcome pack with a handwritten message was a lovely touch from Chris . The apartment even had a set of binoculars which helped us spot seabirds out on the waves. the views are splendid and the deck chairs were great for our beach sundowners. The beach is 5 mins walk away and the cottage provides a permit for parking opposite again easy access to the apartment. I would thoroughly recommend this apartments and will book again .

Views from the apartment were superb, no matter what the sea was doing, we could watch it.

Excellent location, very handy for all that Whitby has to offer. Very comfortable with a lovely welcome tray.

lovely place,great views,not ideal for tall people,windows not safe to have open if there is children about,over all holiday was really enjoyed

A really lovely little apartment in a good location.

We loved being really central in the town and right by the beach, lovely views. Really disappointed however that the listing for the property says there is a bath, which we chose to suit our health/physical ability requirements, and there is not bath - only a walk in shower. A great place to stay, but the listing needs to be amended to reflect what's available in the bathroom.

So the grumpy man who says there is a fairground outside, yes there is.

It is a kids fair, plays some old disco tunes and ran from about 10am til 5pm so not all night and not too early. Given the location of this apartment right on the sea front, i am surprised he didn’t mention noise from walkers, the sea and the seagulls as well..... The quality of this accommodation is amazing , very quirky and we absolutely loved it. Great cleaning and hand gel everywhere and we were sad to leave today. When you can wake up, walk your dog on the seafront and jetty in literally seconds from leaving, why would you not be happy. We really needed a change of scene and sea air was perfect. If you book this property and are grateful for all the plus points, you will not be disappointed .

Lovely apartment .

Sea view rather special .

A perfectly positioned and a well appointed flat spoilt slightly by some minor housekeeping issues and a garish and loud seasonal funfare situated directly in front of the flat.

Communication with the local proved to be an issue as the office was closed and none of the published phone numbers were correct. I also questioned the excessive service fee levied by Homeaway who in fact provided no service whatsoever as all payments and subsequent communications were directly with Sykes. Homeaway have proven to be nearly impossible to communicate with and have simply dismissed my enquiry.

immaculate cottage with the best views in Whitby, would definitely recommend.

Easy to book, easy to arrange access to property.

Lovely flat, comfortable and cosy, would stay again and recommend to others.

This is our fourth stay at this apartment (March 2019) we like to come in the winter / spring months.

As always the views are what we come for they are the best plus easy access to the beach and of course the fact that it’s dog friendly. However this time there were issues, firstly cleaning the place could do with a deep clean, we found a number of cobwebs, and the windows need cleaning inside and out regularly, and the place could do with a refresh it’s looking a little tired Finally TV working so hubby happy but no WIFI we couldn't connect at all - this was not a problem before, so don't know why now? Very disappointing as I'd hope to catch up on some work issues during our break

An absolutely lovely location.

Everything that you could possibly need for a stay in Whitby. The extra package of milk, teabags, and Parkin etc was a nice surprise and very well received. The beds were super comfortable and bedding and towels lovely and clean. The only downside was that we couldn’t get a signal so the TV didn’t work and the main entrance to the apartments could do with a lick of paint but overall a great place to stay, right in the centre if whitby.

We were not informed that there was a funfair outside our window, or that there was building work on the pier.

If we had known this I would not have taken my 86 year old parents to this property. When I emailed about the noise of the funfair and requested financial recompense for this, I was told that the funfair is always there. (It wasnt constructed until late on Friday evening keeping me awake) if it is always there, why was it never mentioned anywhere.

brilliant

Great location for a holiday cottage, easy walk straight from the beach.

Well designed property for using the space in the loft apartment.

The view for the sunset is just awesome. This has been a lovely week for our first stay in Whitby. Thank you.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the accommodation, we look forward to staying again.

A fabulous apartment in a great location.

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely apartment, the best we have stayed in in 10 years

A gorgeous apartment with everything we needed, we will return!

Had a great time, fantastic views and a beautiful apartment.

Fantastic views. Cosy and comfortable accommodation.

Elegant property, great location!

Lovely location. Flat is well equipped and we had everything we neeeded. Would love to come back. Likes the welcome pack - really nice idea. We walked to Sandsend and Robin Hoods Bay - beautiful. Visited Falling Foss.

Enjoyed the stay and would recommend to other people. Thank you for such a lovely environment in which to stay and Rupert (our dog) enjoyed his treats.

This apartment far outweighs our expectations. It is fab; modern, clean, cosy with fab views. We loved the binoculars! We will be back!

Love this apartment and will be back again in the winter months. Wild sea and wild winds - super!
