  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!

  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!

  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!

  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.

  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.
