Guests say
Guests appreciate the central location of 8A Wellington Terrace in Whitby, close to local amenities and attractions. The property offers a comfortable bed and sofa, and the kitchen is well-equipped. However, some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance, such as dampness and the need for updating certain facilities.
Reviews indicate concerns with cleanliness, including unwashed pots and cutlery, and a need for deep cleaning in some areas. However, some guests found the property to be clean, suggesting inconsistency in standards.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre, local shops, and Whitby Abbey, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
The comfort of the beds and sofas is frequently complimented, although there are some remarks about the presence of damp and the compact size of the bathroom affecting overall comfort.
The property is equipped with necessary facilities, but guests have noted issues with maintenance, such as an ancient washing machine and the need for additional shelving in the shower.
There is a mention of a 'welcome pack' consisting of biscuits, but as gifts are not consistently referenced across reviews, it is not possible to accurately assess the thoughtfulness of the hosts, and thus the score is set to null.

Andy
This forced us to eat out every meal which we had not planned on and a further expense as we were expecting cooking some nice meals indoors.we spoke to the caretaker whilst away was told we don,t have time to wash cups,cutlery etc we expect the previous occupier to do that,forgot to mention the cupboards were filthy and all saucepans very dirty we left them as they were when we arrived as i don,t expect to have to clean a kitchen etc before starting my holiday Thanks Andy. Please note photos were took we have tried to submit these to Sykes but have had no response( case ref COR-275223-CF).Awaiting your response. Also the sofa needs a deep clean as an accumulation of dust,dog biscuits etc were found when i dropped my car keys and removed a cushion.

Hubby's knees touch the wall when sat on loo and there was no way he was ever going to get in the shower cubicle. I'm 5'2" and 9.5 stone and could only just manoeuvre myself inside it.

Location is fantastic, central to Whitby but also quiet. Lots of nice pubs, places to eat and chippys within walking distance and close to the beach. Second time weâve stayed and highly recommend.
