Had to ring land lord for instructions. All drainage on handbasin and shower took forever to drain away, tap on kitchen sink kept falling off landlord said problem was ongoing but it didn't fix problem. Tv was unwatchable as it was constantly freezing or buffering. View of sea was obscured by very dirty windows. Also doormat on entry was a trip hazard. We have always been happy with sykes properties in the past but this one took the shine off our holiday. Especially as it was on the expensive side. So wouldn't recommend this property to anyone.

Excellent location in the centre of whitby. Sea views from the living space. Very comfy sofa. Parking space was very useful (but would not be suitable for large cars). Lots of storage space. High quality toiletries provided. Really useful to have a washer/dryer. There were a few things that could be improved. Mattress was quite hard. No teatowel provided and the ovengloves had a hole in them. Kitchen tap handle repeatedly came off. And the blanket on the bed was dirty when I arrived. Overall I would stay there again but fixing these small details would improve the stay.
