What our customers say about their holidays

  The house is in a great location right on the sea front and close to shops, restaurants and cafes.

  It was clean and comfortable with good quality beds, bedding and towels. We especially loved the large open plan kitchen dining area and the sitting room. As a large family group this was perfect for us. The few niggles we had were firstly on the practical domestic front. We preferred to cook most evenings and discovered the cooker seal had come off so we fixed this. We also found that some toilet roll holders had come off, which we couldn’t fix. Finally, as mentioned in details about the house, the Nook bar next door has live music from Tuesday to Saturday. We were aware of this when booking though discovered that when it is a live guitarist/band that as this is in the front bar right next to the front of the house it is as loud as though you are actually sitting in the bar because there is no noise reduction. Maybe the owner (if they haven’t already) could speak to the Nook about moving this to the back of the bar or adding in some kind of noise reduction. Also, people smoking outside can tend to sit on the front door step and leave cigarette butts and bottles of beer which isn’t so nice when leaving the house in the morning! Coming from London where we live opposite a pub we were expecting and prepared for the noise but found these aspects unfortunate as the house is so lovely.

  The house was lovely and in a lovely location in terms of the beach, nice restaurants, etc.

  The property could benefit from some general redecoration in the circulation areas, hallways, stairs, etc as these were quite scuffed, etc. But the house had everything we needed and more! The property description does say that there are bars on the doorstep and that loud music until the early hours would happen... BUT.... early hours meant 4am at the weekends and 1am every night of the week. After the music turns off, the drinking and loud conversation go on for another hour at least!! Then the clean up and maintenance starts at 7am!! Jet washing outside, etc. I think that maybe the property is listed because it is single pane windows so you can hear everything!! On our 1st night the noise stopped around 5pm but we were then woken at 7am with the clean up and then at 10am the door was banging - a cleaner was there to do the 'change over' as he has been sent the wrong information! Not ideal after the rubbish nights sleep. Having said all that, the house was beautiful and I would return but not with children.

  A Birthday week in Whitby at Pegasus Cottage was just perfect !

  The owner was very helpful and friendly when I made contact for the location of the cottage. The lane to the cottage, off one of the the cobbled streets, is 6ft 6" wide, so this needs to be considered with regards to the vehicle you have. There is long term pay and display parking available in the area if your vehicle is too wide for the lane, and this is cheaper if you go to the local Tourist Office for your ticket/permit (so someone mentioned in the cottage Visitors Book). The cottage was like home from home, spotlessly clean, comfortable, cosy, warm, very well equipped, and had everything you need for a great stay. Whitby itself has lots of attractions, quaint cobbled streets, great cafes/ restaurants/takeaways, friendly atmosphere, varied shops, supermarkets and great Museum, which is well worth a visit. The surrounding area has beautiful countryside, pretty fishing villages and seaside resorts to visit. Whitby, and Pegasus Cottage, provided us with a fantastic week away, and we would visit both again in a heart beat !

  The property is gorgeous.

  There was a few Matinace issues I contacted Sykes and they resolved what they could straight away but there was issues they couldnt resolve.The cleanliness wasn’t the best either as we found a dirty broken plate in one of the draws there was wrappers under one of the beds.the sheets was stained in one of the rooms.the carpet was stained in the main bedroom some of the windowsill was covered in dust.there was empty bottles in one of the kitchen cupboards.as for the house it self it is in a prime location the owners have put the money in to the property as it is high end furniture but I it is right next to a cocktail club that is playing very loud music until 4.00am on Friday and sat and 1.00am the rest of the days.it was a family holiday so if I was aware of that I wouldn’t of booked this property it dose say how close it was to the bars but not that you are right next to a night club.

  This property should come with a clear warning and it should be the first thing you see when you look at the advertisement- NOT SUITABLE FOR A FAMILY HOLIDAY.

  The house itself is outstanding, spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished, however, it is attached to a nightclub, with two more nightclubs attached to that. The Nook, which is the one joined on, plays extremely loud music every single night, outside, with drums, electric guitars and bass speakers until at least 1.30am and weekends until 4am. The rowdy crowd proceed to stay outside, singing, shouting and parting for at least an hour after closing time. It's impossible to get any sleep in any part of the house due to the ridiculous noise level. The accommodation is only suitable for Stag/Hen parties or single groups that fancy a change from Ibiza. Our holiday was completely ruined. The advertisement should make the horrendous noise level very clear and not just say it's on a lively street, what an understatement!!!!
