  My first long stay in whitby and this property was a great little hub for the week.

  On arrival we literally parked outside and used the 1hr permit provided to unload our vehicle. Additional long stay permits were provided too but parking in those were tricky. A bit of patience, waiting and circling around usually provided a place when someone left. However there is plenty of free parking available before entering the main permit zones which are a 5mins walk from the accommodation. Other reviews mention the sofas but they are now updated the broadband was high speed and perfect throughout. This property is small and compact which can be a plus or negative based on the visitors own tastes. We liked it alot. Pros : Great location Some parking permits provided Off the main street so added privacy High speed broadband Cozy Clean Dog friendly Cons : Small Little kitchen space Tight steep stairs, potentially problematic for certain people. Overall we found this place good value for money, it was clean, cozy and well located. The doggy shop is literally outside. Parking in whitby as a whole is difficult and not the fault of the property and we were provided with permits for our stay. If we come to whitby again we would actually consider this property again.

  Disappointing stay and unlikely to book again with Sykes.

  The cottage was not clean with dust & cobwebs, black mould on the cracked bathroom tiles & cracked, broken and dirty bath side, no hot water from the taps only the shower - also the shower hose broken. I had to boil the kettle to wash the pots. Exposed wiring to a light fitting and the ceiling boards ?filler hanging down. The beds were uncomfortable, albeit the bedding and towels were laundered. The carpets threadbare and ?tears covered with masking tape, you could feel the sharp carpet grippers when using the stairs. Sadly the cottage smelled foisty and damp and the peeling plaster/paint not repaired or the damp in the second floor bedroom cleaned off the wall. I would never normally give a poor review I would just put it down to 'one of those things', but this week I had my grandchildren with me as a seaside treat & they said the same things, my granddaughter giving it a 1 out of 5 as we left on Friday. It's a real shame because the cottage could be a little gem of a place if it was well maintained and spruced up.

  A lovely period house in Whitby .

  It’s well furnished, comfortable warm and well equipped. This was our second stay at Charlotte House and we thoroughly enjoyed it , even though the weather wasn’t brilliant. It’s nicely located , close to the West Cliff for the beach and a short walk down to the harbour. I always look forward to seeing what is in the Welcome packs and there was a nice selection of goodies from Bothams - which is just around the corner. It’s a dog friendly cottage and ours made themselves at home , one particularly enjoyed barking at all the passers by ! The beds are comfortable and 2 nice bathrooms , one of which has a lovely roll top bath . Parking permits are provided for on street and the West Cliff car park .We will definitely be returning for another stay .

  Lovely house, very well presented with all you could ask for, would highly recommend a stay.

  Heating operating 24-7 therefore always cosy although set around 20 degrees, fine for us as not liking it too hot, there is always the back up of the log burner for a cosy evening.Beautiful walk in shower with plenty of hot water that never ran out. The only criticism is you should have 2 keys available, my wife was I’ll during our stay and I either had to lock her in when going out or leave her in bed with the door unlocked. The door has only one deadlock and no other means of escaping from the building in an emergency, the small courtyard is bolted shut to outside, apart from this comment a wonderful holiday let.

  A lovely apartment, very clean and a fab bedroom. It's lovely and quiet but only a short walk into the town. After a very long drive we left the car and used the steam train and buses to get around. Would recommend The Edge Bistro, fab food and also the Fisherman's Wife, beautiful fresh fish and stunning views. We used the local fish and chip shop that was possibly the best that we've had. Our first visit to Whitby and we wasn't disappointed. We will definitely be back and would recommend the apartment to friends and family.
