Guests say
Dotties Apartment in Whitby is praised for its beautiful decor, cleanliness, and perfect location opposite Pannett Park, within walking distance to the harbour. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings and the thoughtful touches, although some minor improvements are suggested.
Most guests found the apartment to be spotlessly clean, with high-quality furnishings. However, one review mentioned areas that were not as clean as expected, slightly lowering the overall cleanliness rating.
The location is highly praised for being close to the town centre, beach, and overlooking a beautiful park, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
The apartment is generally considered very comfortable, with a special mention of the beds and couch. Suggestions for lighter duvets during summer months and difficulties with shower controls indicate room for minor improvements.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen and a brilliant shower. However, some guests noted a lack of cleaning materials, a first aid box, and issues with furniture height and wardrobe cleanliness.
Guests felt welcomed with lovely touches and a welcome cake, although it is noted that such gestures are a delightful surprise and not a guaranteed amenity.

The apartment is just across from Pannett Park where the Jurassic Garden is located and it is easy to get to the various sites to see and to enjoy in Whitby. The bed and couch are very comfortable and it was a surprise to have 2 television sets in the apartment. The shower was brilliant and was very good to use after having long walks along the Whitby cliffs. We really did enjoy our stay and it was such a good break to have with us having very hectic schedules to just relax.

The outer rim on the external part of the shower cubicle was dirty as was the top of the flush for the toilet. In the kitchen the work tops hadnât been wiped behind items on it. The kitchen is stocked with very few items required for cooking a meal but over stocked with other items. The beds were comfortable and bedding clean, however the towels were extremely hard and not adequate for showering fortunately we had taken our own. Whilst the corner seating in the living room was comfortable the 2 dining chairs were totally the wrong height for the table and more suitable for a bedroom. The bedroom with the Juliet balconyâs furniture was extremely disappointing, a bedside cabinet and an item that I have difficulty as describing as a wardrobe that was also dirty inside and out. This meant all clothing had to be stored in the other bedroom. Other than a vacuum and dustpan and brush there are no other cleaning materials nor a first aid box. Overall, though comfortable this was a disappointing stay for my first time using Sykes cottages.

Perfect location opposite Pannett Park, within easy walking distance to the harbour. Only minor thing I would recommend is lighter duvets for the summer months, apart from that a truely lovely apartment which I would definitely recommend to family and friends.
