Guests say
Sunnyvale House in Whitby is a spacious property with ample room and en-suite bathrooms, appreciated for its proximity to local attractions. While parking is a noted concern, the house's cleanliness and comfort are generally praised. Some maintenance issues are mentioned, but the property's suitability for large groups and its well-equipped spaces are highlighted.
The property is initially described as clean and presentable, with a beautifully cleaned house and quality bedding. However, some reviews mention dampness and a need for decoration, slightly affecting the overall impression of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded due to its close proximity to Whitby's harbour and local amenities, making it accessible and convenient for guests. The only drawback is the parking situation, which is a recurring theme in the reviews.
Guests find the property comfortable, with plenty of room for large groups and a bonus of having en-suite bathrooms. The house is well-received for its comfortable rooms and social spaces, although one review mentioned a missing mirror in a bedroom.
The facilities are generally good, with ample space and a well-equipped kitchen. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as dampness, missing plugs, and the absence of a promised outside heater, which suggests room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
Sunnyvale House, a splendid seven-bedroom abode is nestled in the quaint seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire, offering the perfect retreat for families, friends and couples alike. Just a stone’s throw away from local amenities and within easy reach of the beach, as well as being close to the North York Moors National Park, this charming holiday home provides the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. Step into the grandeur of your new home-from-home, ready to explore the spacious interiors over four floors. On the ground-floor, discover a fully-equipped kitchen, where the nominated chef of the group rustles up a delicious feast, making use of an impressive array of appliances. Afterwards, enjoy a family feast around the dining table, before retreating to the sitting room for the evening. If you prefer to dine alfresco and soak up your surroundings a little while longer, meander through the inviting garden and delight in an evening tipple, watching as the stars appear overhead. When sleep calls, seven bedrooms await, scattered across the first, second and third floors. Choose from five doubles, each boasting their own en-suites, or choose from an additional double or a twin, with its own en-suite shower room, perfect for winding down or getting ready for the day. In the morning, take a trip to nearby Robin Hood's Bay, a delightful fishing village, with spectacular views and a pleasant stroll along the trail. Moving on, explore Scarborough, a bustling seaside resort with plenty of things to do along the South Bay, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre and Scarborough Castle, the latter of which stands proudly overlooking the North Bay. Pickering is the perfect spot for a day trip out, with an array of independent shops, cafes and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, offering picturesque views as you ride across the moors.

Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close.

House beautifully cleaned and smelt lovely, quality bedding and accessories. We didnât book hot tub as timings too restrictive but understand the need to consider neighbours and noise levels. Outside courtyard could do with a little TLC, other than that fabulous accommodation and stay, we would rebook

Great location,, walking distance to most places in Whitby, comfortable and well equipped. Only things I would mention are the hot tub - we were only advised that this would cost an additional £150 well after we booked. Also, there are no parking permits provided so this wasnât easy when there were at least 5 cars between us so we had to find and pay for parking all weekend.

Upon further inspection not so good: 1. Damp and wet wall left of the window in bedroom facing the rear. 2. Damp on wall and ceiling in the dining room. 3. No plugs in some bathroom sinks. 4. No kitchen linen ie tea towels/kitchen hand towels. 5. No outside heater as informed by owner. 6. The building looks very tired and in need of full decoration. 7. NO HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION PARKING PERMIT SCRATCHCARDS. Also Sykes are totally unhelpful in regard to Whitby location issues. 3 representatives attempted a resolve before we arrived.
