Church View

The accommodation inside was once again spotless and had everything needed for our stay Perfect location for us and managed to get parked outside on our 3rd day there.

The outside is looking tired and in need of a tidy up on the front and back. A handrail leading up to the front door would be a good idea as the steps are a bit steep. This hasn’t put us off as we are looking forward to staying again October and will be booking for next year.

Absolutely loved our holiday in Whitby.

The accommodation was great, everything thought of . Milk in fridge, a complimentary bag of goodies from Botham’s bakery. Church View was a great location, walking distance to town, a great local pub. Parking would have been difficult if not for the fact my husband has a blue disability card. We parked in car park behind church, as from 1st April 2026 blue badge holders can park for free in a North Yorkshire council car park. My husband is bad on his feet and would have liked a handrail at outside entrance of 19 Hudson Street. All in all we had a wonderful time and was very impressed with the property and Whitby.

Really comfortable accommodation in a great location.

A very generous welcome pack was a nice gesture,very comfortable bed.

In a very good location only a few minutes from all amenities. Would definitely book this property again. Thank you.

Great property with everything you need.

Marked down slightly on cleanliness as a few utensils and the bin were a little mucky. I tend to wash before I use anyway. Parking the first couple of days was a bit of a lottery (Friday and Saturday) but we did get lucky, great not to have to pay for parking though. All in all a great place to stay , thank you x

Lovely clean, tidy apartment, fab location and a thoughtful goodie bag.

Highly recommend this place

Very nice weeks stay.

It had everything needed. All information left for us and everything was smooth.

Fabulous property in a great area for exploring Whitby.

Spacious and clean and equipped to a high standard. We will definitely be returning to and recommending this accommodation.

Just returned from a lovely weekend in Whitby at Church View.

The apartment was clean, well equipped and only a short stroll to the town centre with all its attractions. The apartment is well equipped with everything we needed. Our only problem ( and it’s only minor ) was that the electric fire was quite noisy and as the weather was cold, we needed it on when we first got back from our days out.

The flat was very comfortable and nicely set out in general.

Was disappointed that there wasn’t an empty cupboard for storing the food I had brought with me. Very delighted to see the lovely Christmas decorations.

Lovely flat in a great position for accessing all of Whitby's many delights.

Spacious and the layout makes the most of the space. Street parking with provided vouchers and an awesome welcome pack. Great value for money

Fantastic location, no problem parking Apartment was spotless and had everything needed for our stay including dog bowls Bed was very comfortable Welcome pack was great, thank you x Have already booked to stay again next year

Good clean flat, very well equipped, great location, lovely welcome pack on arrival, free car parking voucher, would definitely stay again.

We have stayed in this flat 3 times now, very clean, comfortable.

excellent shower. Handy location for nearby dog walks around the leisure centre behind St Hilda's Church, and along the headland. 10 minutes walk into the centre, easy to park in W area. (though we don't go peak season). The yard is secure for dogs. We had great back up support from the team, and the office is just down the road on Skinner Street, so easy to pop in. A great location for access to all that Whitby offers.

The apartment was really nice, we had everything we needed to have a good time, we will book it again in the future.

SUPERB!

... A fabulous apartment, we do love this location, (stayed in Church square 3 times and the old Metropole hotel) but never came across Church view before? ... glad we did! All on the ground floor with a good bathroom & kitchen, a lovely lounge with a huge TV and best of all the huge bay window, this apartment has everything we needed but also so much more! 2 minutes to the Royal crescent, 5 minutes to the Pavilion the coast and the cliff walks, our Labrador (Holly) has had a wonderful time and so have we! Thank you. Eric & Joan.

The apartment was clean and comfortable.

The kitchen well equipped even though we don't tend to cook when we are on holiday. The bathroom was large and the shower was easy to operate. The enclosed yard was excellent for the 2 dogs. The parking scratch card was an added bonus and we were overwhelmed with the welcome pack. We are booking again for next year

4th year we've stayed at Church View and hopefully back next year.

I think that says it all.

No condiments ie.

Salt pepper

Great location for both dog friendly beach, and to town centre very comfortable bed.

Plenty of storage. Nice welcome pack. Although we took our own was a nice touch providing dog bowls. Could do with some scissors and a knife sharpener plus a chopping board. Looks like there might be some damp above bay window

Lovely property in a quite street, but near to amenities, shops and seafront, had a great relaxing time.

A lovely apartment in a great location, clean and comfortable, with everything you could need.

The goody bag was much appreciated. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you

Very comfortable, clean and warm.

Excellent location, easy to park. Lovely welcome pack. This was our second stay and we will definately book again.

Plush, well laid out, cosy, so comfy and quiet with no traffic noise.

Lovely flat wth excellent facilities and heating easy to control and adjust to my liking, especially as it was a chilly

Church View is a beautiful, spacious, comfortable and well equipped apartment.

I stayed for three nights over Christmas and was pleasantly surprised to find a Christmas tree and decorations up when I arrived. Also much appreciated was the “goody bag” containing tea, coffee, cake and biscuits and a pint of milk in the fridge. I had a lovely, peaceful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend to anyone looking for holiday accommodation in Whitby.

Had a problem with locks both external and back door

Generally wonderful experience.

.and can't wait to return. Only a couple of things could be improved (marginal)...never managed to get the TV to work other than on the various apps..maybe clearer instructions for muppets like me...and the parking ticket running out at 10am on leaving day meant having to move the car to enjoy a last bit of Whitby before wecwent home. That's all really (nitpicking) xx

Great location, lovely comfortable apartment with everything you need.

( welcome pack was fabulous). Really enjoyed our holiday. Our greyhound didn't want to leave (so relaxed). Will definately try to book again. Best time in Whitby we have had so far. Loved it

Property was exactly like the listing, clean, well located and restful after a day exploring the beauty of Whitby.

the tv guide stopped working 2 days in to our stay.

It became nigh on impossible to watch live TV or to navigate between 3000 channels as there was 'no information'. A maintenance man attended and said he would recommend to the office that a TV engineer attend. We heard no more despite messaging the office a day after his visit. We considered this level of support to be unsatisfactory. We were thinking of the next occupants as much as ourselves.

Great accomodation, like a home from home.

Really good facilities and great support from local agents. Very comfortable furnishings, particularly the bed. Only suggestion is that a shaver point would be very handy as would a couple of USB outlets on a couple of the power sockets for charging phones etc. Will certainly visit again in the future.

This is a very comfortable property in a good postion for visiting different areas of town and with a great shower.

Our only minor prpblem was not finding a blue bin that we could use for our recycling, which did not affect the enjoyment of the week.

Wow!

My first thoughts when entering this property were - I would love to live here! It is absolutely stunning. All the extras are just so so thoughtful. We loved some of the games there and we’ve bought them ourselves now! TV is amazing, shower is lush, location is perfect, the flat is spacious and so clean. Best place we’ve ever stayed! So many extras which helped with our toddler too. Blown away x

Beautiful, well appointed apartment.

Lovely and clean and well maintained. There was everything you may need, especially in the kitchen. It seemed that every eventuality had been thought of. On arrival the keypad wasn't marked up and it was difficult to get the numbers in line and then actually open it. This is just for feedback though, not a complaint. The very best thing during arrival was the bag of gifts which was a lovey touch. Bowie the dog enjoyed it as well and we would definitely return.

Lovely flat in a prime location.

The welcome pack and goodies were very nice with great recommendations for places to visit/eat. It was lovely that a highchair & travel cot were available for our daughter. You should also advertise the baby bath and dog bowls as welcome additions. Thanks for a lovely stay, we will come again.

Very comfortable.

Shower room good. Such a comfortable bed.

Wonderful find, perfect location, clean comfortable, we hope to return soon.

A delightful holiday flat and absolutely ideal for us and our dogs.

Highly recommended and will be our first choice next time.

Very spacious, clean, had everything we needed for our stay.

The welcome bag was a lovely and the milk in the fridge! Location is great and we got parked right outside. Nice comfy bed and large sofa, perfect for watching tv when it rained

We had a lovely stay.

Well positioned accommodation, large, clean and airy with lovely quality bedding and towels! Thank you for the welcome pack - that was a lovely touch :o)

We couldn’t believe the size of the flat.

Very clean and homely. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the welcome pack was great. It was scooter weekend when we first arrived and expected a little noise on the road outside or from surrounding holiday flats, but there wasn’t any. The yard was a good size and easy to maintain with our dog. Overall we loved our stay, the flat was in a great location and we would definitely return. Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay everyt hing was perfect .

Being able to let the dogs out in the secure yard was an added bonus.The location was great too.Thoroughly recommend

An extremely comfortable apartment.

Everything in the description is accurate. I would recommend and most certainly would return. A credit to the owner. Dawn Lockett

suffered a parking fine by an over-zealous traffic warden - we had,nt noticed we had omitted to scratch off the month on our card {be warned }.

the property was ideally placed for exploring Whitby and use of vehicle not required, property had everything we needed and we slept like logs in the soft bed, loads of pubs , shops and eateries within a short walk too. would stay again - Phil

Had a lovely stay , flat very nice and in a great location.

. we enjoyed it so my much we have booked again in June .

Spacious airey flat.

Clean and comfortable. In a great position for access to Whitby and beach walks. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Very comfortable bed. Fabulous shower. Easy parking permit was a bonus never used the car whilst here. Would recommend Thank ypu

Great place to stay.

Excellent location - just a short walk into town and very close to the beach. The parking scratchcard is really handy however we couldn’t park on the road as it was too busy, so after unloading, the car was a couple of streets away. To be expected really in Whitby! Good standard of accommodation and nice shower and comfy bed. Always important! Nice soft towels too. Has everything you need, including an iron (I didn’t see it listed so took one but need not have). Nice touch was the welcome bag and some milk in the fridge. The only downside was the people above. Let’s hope they were only visiting guests too and not residents. Very inconsiderate late at night making noise … dragging things around and sounding like they’d concrete boots on! If they are residents I’d suggest the owners had a word with them in case they don’t realise how annoying they are. At the moment it’s the one thing stopping me rebooking … everything else is spot on!

Everything was fab!

The only issue (nothing that can be done and not owners fault) was noise from upstairs apartment. They were up late and we could hear them

Lovely apartment very modern and clean , not too far from the centre of Whitby, quiet location, the welcome pack was a beautiful addition, everything you would need was thought of,towels cleaning products etc the only reason I didn’t give five stars is that with it being pet friendly, myself a dog owner it had an odour maybe a few air fresheners dotted around would have been lovely to freshen it up.

Excellent, lovely comfy appartment.

The gift bag and milk were a lovely surprise . Everything was close to hand, beach, town … we would definitely stay here again . Thank you

Church view is very comfortable and in a great location for us.

We have booked for next year. A brilliant goody bag-thank you. We again had an issue with the parking vouchers. Only left enough for 4 days, but this was resolved. These vouchers are essential in Whitby.

We have enjoyed our stay at Church View.

The apartment has everything you need for your stay and is in a perfect location making walks on the beach with our pup very easy. The only issue we’ve had is that, when we came, it was raining heavily and the water was leaking through the bay window in the living room. The water was coming through and onto the carpet which resulted in the apartment smelling of damp throughout our stay. This is something that I am sure owners will address in the future. Otherwise, a very good stay.

Lovely comfortable property with easy assess to lovely walks along the promenade.

Fantastic stay at Church View this weekend.

The Apartment was lovely … self contained, spacious and comfortable with attention to detail and very clean! The shower was fantastic and easy to use. Loved the goody bag, very thoughtful. We were provided with scratch cards for our stay for the parking which were easy to use (but not easy to find a parking spot! Blame the tourists not the Owner, the weather was amazing so Whitby was heaving). We loved staying at Church View and had a wonderful couple of days wandering around Whitby, especially lovely to walk along the beach at 8am almost alone in the sunshine! Cooked in one evening and ate out the other (at The Magpie Cafe). We would recommend Church View and would love to come back, many thanks!

A great well equipped flat with good quality bedding and towels.

A really generous welcome pack. Very easy parking.

Overall the property met our expectations .

We particularly liked the very comfortable bed , with good quality bedding .

Everything you could ask for.

Great welcome pack.Great location near the whale bones.

The kitchen was a bit tired and found a couple of faults which were reported, overall the parking was a nuisance as was the noisy floor boards from the flat above.

Churchview was a perfect spot to explore Whitby.

Everything was literally on the doorstep. The apartment was well maintained very clean and home from home. Very thoughtful welcome gift waiting on arrival which was very much appreciated and a lovely touch. Would recommend this property 100% without hesitation. Places to visit are Robin hoods Bay ,the humble pie shop was great ,also Magpies for excellent fish and chips along with so many more attractions and stylish little shops up the cobbled streets. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return to Whitby next year.

Its a lovely clean place and well situated will stay again and recommend it

Flat was lovely with everything you need.

It was like home from home with so many nice touches. We felt very comfortable there. Dog loved it too! Was in a perfect location to the centre and beach. Parking was easy to find and the card was easy to use. Loved it and will definitely be back. Thank you.

Very nice apartment, in good location.

Lovely short break, thank you.

Lovely spacious downstairs flat.

Access to shared yard (although no one else used it) was a great plus for our dog. Excellent location and we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Whitby and will definitely return.

We absolutely loved Church View, it was a great location for town.

The accommodation is furnished to a very high standard and everything has been thought about from a hairdryer to Board games and books. It really was a l9vely home from home experience and our dog loved it too. Highly recommended.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

The apartment is really cosy and was impeccably clean. The welcome gifts were a lovely surprise and we managed to park very close each time we returned from a morning out. We would love to stay again.

Lovely stay in beautiful flat, 10 mins walk from the beach.

This is a great place to stay, we love it.

It is now sunday afternoon, pouring with rain and the tv has stopped working and no one to assist. This is such a lovely comfortable flat we will definitely recommend it to all we know ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The shower floor extremely slippy.

The usual tv channels difficult to find. Otherwise a perfect holiday rental. I would certainly stay there again.

Ideal location lovely stay welcoming packs made an extra touch and welcoming and will book again we would like to say thank you for sharing your holiday home with us

The location of Church view is excellent ,very nicely decorated ,very good facilities, excellent shower ,the washing machine a welcome bonus, and comfortable bed.

The bed linen and towels were immaculate.The welcome pack is also a very nice touch.I would have given 5 stars but on arrival the apartment had a very strong unpleasant odour, unfortunately the previous occupant very thoughtlessly and with no respect for the property had obviously allowed their pet to romp on the throw on the bed and all over the large sofa in the lounge ,the result being we couldn't sit down without our clothes collecting pet hairs.We contacted Sykes cottages office and the lady promptly arranged for the apartment to be cleaned ,the cleaning team were there within 30 minutes and very thoroughly vacuumed the sofa and carpets and sprayed deodoriser.So a big thank you to the Sykes cottages office team and the 2 young girls that re cleaned the apartment making for a very pleasant stay.

First of all I would like to say that from the start of booking until the day before we were due to travel Yorkshire cottage holidays were excellent.

They covered everything from travel directions, to door code for keys, to time you can enter, parking tickets and so on. Keeping in touch to ensure nothing was left out, so thank you as it was professional and extremely helpful. We had a lovely relaxing and comfortable week in Whitby at our accommodation which has everything you need in a home from home. Very clean and easily accessible. Parking scratch cards were very easy to use just follow the instructions. Not far from Whitby beach and town centre where there are lots to do and see. Lots of people have dogs however they have to be kept on a lead when out walking but you can find parts of the beach to let them have a runaround. People were welcoming and friendly. We went to robin hood's bay, Filey, Falmouth , York and Scarborough. Walked along the cinder track with the dog and it was a lovely walk. We would definitely return . Thank you for making our holiday a good one.

Absolutely beautiful apartment everything you could wish for superbly equipped and spotlessly clean .

. will definitely be using again. Highly c recommended

After initial problem with parking card which was resolved very quickly our stay was very good.

The welcome pack was very nice couldn't find fault with apartment great location .Owner even sent a goodie over the problem with parking card .Will certainly stay here again

Always enjoy staying at Sykes cottages , would deff book everyone gain .

This one for location and easy parking .

Really cosy apartment a few minutes walk into town.

Everything was clean and welcoming on arrival and the flat itself is lovely. First time to Whitby and we loved it and will definitely be coming back. I couldn’t recommend this apartment enough!

The property was lovely, well stocked with everything we could want and the hamper was a great touch.

Our only issue was that the apartment had no clean bedding or towels when we arrived which I had to contact the company about - I don’t think the flat had been cleaned or prepared for us. This was sorted when we were out but we still had no toilet roll so went out and bought some. The shower head had a leak too. This didn’t affect us too much but will need sorting. We would recommend and stay again as the flat was in such a great location and was so lovely.

Lovely apartment in a great spot!

Well equipped and very dog friendly. Had a lovely break here and would definitely recommend.

Great place to stop.

Clean and tidy and very comfortable. Easy walking distance to everything. It can be quite difficult to find a parking spot, but once we did we left the car all weekend so it wasn't an issue for us. Would go again without hesitation.

Very comfy flat, nice and spacious.

Very well placed for both the town and the beach, 5 -10 minute, leisurely walk to either. Very generous welcome pack! To be nit picky! A pen would have been a very useful addition to save a trek into town straight away to fill in the parking scratch card with our car registration! And to ensure the guest book can be written in.

A lovely apartment in a brilliant location - we will definitely return

Fantastic apartment and location.

Was perfect for our long weekend in Whitby

This is our 2nd stay at Church View.

It's a beautiful place, spotlessly clean, close to all amenities. The décor is lovely too. The goodie bag was amazing. Highly recommend this place and Sykes

The flat was excellent and the welcome pack exceptional we had a fantastic stay and will definitely use again.

The only downside was the inaccurate information from YCC about parking scratch cards which led me to receive a parking ticket and for this reason I have only awarded 8/10 to YCC. The flat was brilliant.

Really cosy and comfortable flat in which to spend the evenings after days out.

The location in the west cliff area was superb, very close to the whalebone arch and beach. In the other direction it was easy to reach the main high street and shopping area. We enjoyed Whitby Abbey and it was worth the walk up the steps. The excellent WiFi , smart tv and extra channels were an added bonus. The owners have put a lot of thought into the furniture they have purchased and it shows that they have your comfort in mind. Will stay again if we return to Whitby.

The accommodation was as good as we expected really nice place!

Sofa and Bed really Comfy would definitely return. Good location to walk into town or to the Beach.

The apartment was clean apart from the washing machine which was absolutely filthy and needs to be put on a boiling wash to get rid of all the mould inside the washing machine door and seal, couldn’t use it due to the mould.

Parking was a nightmare is Whitby, not the fault of Sykes Cottages, I know. Grateful for the parking permits though. Bedding was lovely and clean, as were the towels. I know due to Covid restrictions the “usual” hamper was not available, but a one pint carton of milk, would have been helpful. If the guide could include where the nearest shops that sell bread and milk etc , apart from having to go into Whitby town itself, would be extremely helpful. The centre blinds in the front room didn’t work properly, too high to get up and fix. Everywhere else is set up ready for use and was clean. Good location for the town and beach.

Holiday was spot on as regards the description in your app but you need to make people aware of the parking situation and not just say there are scratchcards available .

It was a nightmare for us. You either found somewhere and then never moved all week or spent hours looking,It spoilt things for us , made it very stressful! Otherwise fantastic apartment, exactly as shown, owners provde everything you need bar the food on the table haha

Church View is a beautiful, clean and comfortable appartment in a great location, we had a great stay and Whitby was lovely, we even had sunshine !

Good location and easy parking was a real bonus.

Lovely bedlinen and sofa very comfortable. Lots of tv channels.

A lovely apartment in a great location

The apartment was very comfortable and clean, everything had been thought of, we really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you

Whitby is lovely - here are some pros and cons about Church View Pros; - Great location, a minute or so from West Cliff and it's beautiful beach and stunning walk to Sands End.

Conversely 10 minutes from the heart of town (although be warned it's climb back up!) Would also recommend a walk to Arch and Abbey Micropub if gin and/or beers are your thing! - Comfortable lounge, great big comfy sofa - Good technology; wifi worked great, the smart TV was perfect for cosy evenings at home with the doggy and we enjoyed Alexa - Free parking with the scratch card Cons; - The bed whilst comfy is definitely not a king size - The bathroom is large but doesn't have anywhere to put your clothes whilst changing - The toilet roll holder was very loose, and all the pictures that were hung around the flat are crooked(?!) - There wasn't many useful essentials in the flat - ie no oil to cook with/ shower gel etc. They said they hadn't left a welcome pack because of covid (although I'm not sure why as guests would use the items and then dispose?!) but they did have blankets and cushions, salt and pepper etc so felt very inconsistent. - I found a pair of disposable gloves in the hall as we entered the flat - No rubbish bins/recycling (some bins were locked away but no instructions!?) - There is plenty of parking but you might be some way away With all that said we did enjoy our stay and the location was so good it was easy to overlook the niggles!

Perfectly situated, top facilities very very clean.

The property was extremely nice and as described.

Whitby has a parking problem which we are well used to. There were no parking permits in the property when we arrived which was a bit frustrating as we had spotted some 'rare' spaces. This took a little while to sort out partly because Sykes is a large company and telephone calls go through to a central call centre which did not understand the problem. It was a small oversight but frustrating for us. We understand the local office was closed because of Covid but it is so much easier to deal with a small local company. Sykes has also taken over a West Country company that I used to use regularly and knew all their properties. I also find Sykes website a problem because it is so vast.

Couldn’t fault the place.

Well-equipped and clean. Key collection no problem. Very likely to return.

Lovely clean apartment in a great location with good facilities and very comfortable.

Ideal for a weekend break.

Church View apartment was simply amazing.

Spotlessly clean, very bright and airy. The goodie bag was fantastic. Had a slight problem with the key safe (our fault) but Yorkshire Coastal Cottages rectified it immediately, nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely loved it. Perfection from start to finish. The living room had Christmas decorations up which made it soooo cozy. Looking forward to booking again for 29th Dec. Thank you so much ❤️

Maybe fill in the scratch card with customers on collection .

(Maybe you won't get a parking ticket then) . Really lovely welcome gift .

My husband and I had a lovely week in 'Church View'.

We felt very comfortable and at home in the property. It was obvious from the way everything was set up that the owners cared that their guests would have a lovely time when visiting. We found the whole flat extremely well-equipped. It was little things that we noticed that realyl made a big difference - like having enough loo roll to last a week, or having some spray cleaner under the sink (so that we could wipe up the inevitable mishaps). It was a pleasure to meet Pip, the housekeeper, just as we were leaving and she was very warm and friendly and pleased to be told about some blinds that weren't working. Two points of constructive criticism... The duvet on the bed was 13.5 tog and very hot(!!) I had quite poor sleep as a result and to have an optional alternative to such an extremely thick duvet would have been very welcome. (There is plenty of available storage in the Ottoman bed for such a thing.) Additionally, the windows were very dirty on the outside, which was a bit of a shame, considering how clean everything else was!

Lovely, peaceful, spacious flat and so handy for the beach and town.

Everyting we needed was in the flat to make our stay very comfortable. It was so nice to be able to walk or cycle everywhere when exploring Whitby. We had such a relaxing week. The welcome bag of Yorkshire treats was really appreciated after a difficult journey to get there. Many thanks to Jill and the office team who were so kind when we were delayed.

Think a curtain or blind on back door due to it being all clear glass and you need to walk past it to go to toilet in the evening/night time.

This would give privacy.

the sun

Ideally located in the West Cliff area. Close to all amenities. Spacious ground floor apartment and dog friendly too! The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Thank you.

The apartment was warm and welcoming. The owners had left a nice booklet with clear instructions. The walk-in shower was excellent. Close proximity to both the town and the beach. We would definitely book again!
