  Apartment 6 is FANTASTIC.

  It’s a wonderful and perfectly appointed apartment, in a stunningly beautiful (and secure) building. The pictures will give you a good idea of how lovely this place is - it really is as great as it looks - but in addition: Great communication from the owner - clear and timely instructions. The fittings and furnishings in the apartment are very high quality. It was literally spotlessly clean. The apartment is on the first floor, accessed via two wide flights of stairs in the extremely grand entrance hall. I am pretty sure there is a lift, but DO check this with the owner if this is important to you. We didn’t use any of the cooking facilities in the apartment as we ate out, but I would be confident it’s equipped with what you might need. The parking for two vehicles is at the front of the property, and clearly marked. It’s on flat gravel. The building entrance and parking is illuminated early dusk/dark and sensor lighting thereafter - you can see your car/s from the apartment. It’s very peaceful! It’s an easy 10/15 min walk into Ripon. We felt very safe in the area, even walking back fairly late at night. Loads of nice places to eat and drink in Ripon. It was quite busy, even mid-week. A large M&S Food is a short drive away, as is a Morrisons. We’ve been using cottages and apartments for short breaks for years, and this is by far the best place we have stayed. We’d love to go back - but it’s so lovely, we suspect it will never be available again!!!

  Beautiful building & a great location, close enough to the city to be convenient yet far enough away to be quiet.

  Private parking. The 2 bed apartment was spacious & modern & very well equipped. There was an iron but no board, no washing machine which we were aware of but there is a laundry service in the town centre. No hoover so guests can’t maintain the cleanliness. Guests are asked to strip the beds on leaving which is fine but what I did not expect to see was stained mattress protectors (although i believe that has been mentioned before!!) Also mentioned previously was the “Welcome Pack” Ours was a pint of milk!!!!! I believe there was a similar review re the welcome pack as well as the premium price tag. We also paid a premium for this apartment for a week in July , to say we were disappointed was an understatement. Usually we’ve been very fortunate with Sykes holiday rentals… Milk,Juice,Fruit,Jams,Biscuits,Beer,Wine & other local produce. We appreciate Sykes have no control of the above but there should at least be a minimum standard as some guests may not arrive until late in the evening.

  Hi the flat was lovely and clean and in a nice area.

  Enjoyed our stay two elephants would have been good so both of us could put our feet up . This was a last minute booking and was a bit stressed about it all not the owner’s fault or the Sykes company. Loved the fact we could get Netflix on the smart tv. Missed not having a washing machine as we travel light . And also was hoping to sit outside in a garden or patio as we aren’t really into sitting outside a noisy pub or bar. But sadly there wasn’t one. I don’t know who was in the flat below but they were a smoker and the entrance smelled awful of cigarettes and a disgusting pot of cigarette butts were sat in the gateway. We are none smokers with asthma so that wasn’t pleasant. Nice area though and apart from the steps down and up Whitby is hilly the flat was in a nice area with captain cooks statue around the corner

  Perfect accommodation, bright airy and spotless.

  Have stayed many times in Whitby always had lovely places to stay but this was the best.So close to everything.Parking permits included. Used the bus all week to get around if we weren’t around Whitby.Everything you could possibly need for a fantastic stay.Shower was exceptional and was hard to jump in and out quickly through sheer reluctance! Towels were extra large and so soft.Couldn’t ask for more as the weather was perfect too. Went whale watching which we discovered for the first time and saw lots of Minky whale plus seals.Whitby is the place to holiday and St Hilda’s corner house is definitely the place to holiday from.The only issue we had to leave and come home! Thank you for an excellent visit.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Apartment 6.

  The hosts were enormously helpful and quick to help out. The location, near Ripon was wonderful to explore- walking and driving. The house and apartment are of the highest quality, we agreed it was the most comfortable bed we had slept in for a long time. We stayed with two of our sons and could not think of anything that could have made our stay better. There are several residents who permanently reside in the house and they were friendly, welcoming and had great recommendations for local places to visit and eat. The original features of this building make this a special place to stay. We would definitely return if in the area.
