  The apartment was in a good location, close to amenities and beach.

  It was exactly as advertised and we were happy with it, on the whole. The bay it’s self it’s fantastic with a gorgeous dog friendly beach 10 minutes walk away. Positives: Dog friendly Close to amenities As described WiFi worked well Nice views of courtyard from bedroom windows Negatives: There was a couple of areas which we felt let down the property, for example there was only around a quarter of a toilet roll in the bathroom, with no additional rolls provide. Firstly we didn’t feel this was hygienic (From a COVID perspective) as it was obviously left by the previous occupants who would have touched it, and it’s not as though it could have been sanitised afterwards. It was also inconvenient as there is no shop onsite. Also, there was only about 2 ‘squirts’ worth of liquid soap in the bathroom. Again this isn’t great especially at the moment when we’re all so keen to wash hands more often. We did pack hand sanitizer so it wasn’t a massive issue but again, it’s just the details that make you wonder what else has been missed. The fridge was extremely noisy, it seems like the fan isn’t working correctly and there was a constant and fairly loud hum. We were only there for 2 nights so didn’t bother us too much, but it probably would be annoying if staying for longer. We would definitely return to the bay, but we’d likely chose a different property next time around.

  Sunset View is in a great location on the West Cliff, where everything we wanted was only a short walk away.

  The main entrance to the building needs some attention decor wise. Also, the main door was very hard to shut properly & I hurt my wrist after a week of doing that several times a day. Once inside, the apartment is nice. It was clean and contained all that we needed to make our stay pleasant. There was a welcome pack too which was a thoughtful touch. A few things did need sorting - the kitchen mixer tap kept falling off and one of the blinds was broken so we couldn’t shut it at night (people do walk past staring in so we didn’t like that). Also, we found the bed mattress really uncomfortable. It was very soft and ‘bouncy’ and you sort of rolled to the edge when you lay down. We had very poor sleep while we were there. My main disappointment was not being able to fully appreciate the fantastic views we had from our kitchen/lounge windows. We could only see them through s haze of dirt. The windows were filthy and had clearly not been cleaned for a long time. There was a window cleaner doing his rounds the week we were there but he didn’t visit Sunset View… So there were good things & not so good things. We come to Whitby every year so have stayed in quite a few different properties. We probably wouldn’t stay here again due to the bed and because we have stayed in other cottages/flats that have been more spacious or comfy at a cheaper price.

  The flat was clean and in a great location.

  The bed was comfy and it was quiet at night so I slept well. However: The entrance to the shower cubicle was too narrow as it was too close to the toilet. I had to slide in sideways and slide out sideways. On my first day one of the two windows became faulty and I couldn’t close it properly.I reported it to the one listed phone number. There was indeed a problem and it was fixed on the Monday. The communication from the person on the listed number was less than ideal as between Friday and Monday I had no idea when it would be fixed. The flat was a bit stuffy with no views to speak of. The shutter blinds could be opened to let light in via a very flimsy stool once the person on the listed number had informed me how to. There was no dining table so it was just as well I was planning to eat out. The area was very scenic with lots of beautiful places within easy reach by bus and train and I would, will visit the area again. Not the same flat. This would not suit a very large person due to the size of it. I expected it to be larger. I would recommend that it’s suitable for one skinny person or a skinny couple. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

  The holiday started on a bad not as after a long tiring journey the reception on the site told us we weren’t entitled to the leisure pass we’d been promised.

  After a few conversations and contact with Sykes we eventually got the pass which we used everyday. The flat was well equipped for a short stay and was a stones throw from the leisure centre and pub which was very handy. The furniture and bed was very comfortable and we slept well for the whole week. Our little Frenchy Leo loved the area and enjoyed his many walks to the lovely nearby beach. Another problem in the flat was that the dining table was too wobbly to use but again a quick phone call and this was sorted within a couple of days. We enjoy touring the area and visited the three local resorts of Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough. We found parking a bit of a pain as some car parks are cash only or an app called Ringo which we didn’t have and trying to load it on 4g was a pain. If you like pies we highly recommend the local dog friendly Piebald Inn which is a real ale pub and has a massive range of pies to choose from but make sure you are hungry as the portions are very large. All in all we had a lovely time at Sunny Bay which we highly recommend as we would definitely book it again.

  The apartment was well equipped, spacious for a couple.

  The bathroom was good and the hot water was great. The cleanliness of apartment could have been better, lots of dust and the communal hallway had a musty smell. Although there was a notice in the apartment saying extra cleaning had been in place due to covid-19 and the remote controls, hairdryer etc had been sterilise and placed in plastic bags they had not! We brought our own bedding and towels, the bed was not very comfortable but we expected that. The juliet balcony was nice for the late afternoon sun however the occupants below often had a cigarette at their outside table so this filled our bedroom with cigarette smoke. The site was very good, the pub was just across the road, we did use the pub a couple of times but we did not like how many dogs there was in the dining area, people feeding them at the table! We saw one cock its leg on the wall and nobody bothered but we are not dog people. We thought that the apartment was OK but was expensive and the cleanliness let it down, the site was good and it's an ideal base to explore the Yorkshire coast. We would go again but would do more research.
