  The Whitby Engine Sheds are a perfect base for a holiday in Whitby.

  Being close to the centre allowing you to explore on foot but also very quiet. The accommodation has been very well thought out and designed. Secure off road parking for 1 car, each appartment named after a steam engine. Warm, welcoming and comfortable. Fabulous super king beds. Well equipped kitchen and all you would expect from a home from home. Lovely welcome pack which also included bread, butter, selection of jams, Yorkshire tea, coffee and milk. Some flowers and delicious biscuits made in Whitby (We purchased several more packets!!!) Whether you are a steam train enthusiast or not, you cannot fail to be charmed by the daily visits by the steam engines. They are fabulous and literally, right outside the window (the trains do not disturb you, they only run at civilised hours!!) Whitby itself is a lovely town. Very well worth a visit. From the independent shops, cobbled lanes, 199 steps, churches, the Abbey, Dracula stories, the beaches, fossil hunting, boat trips and of course the fish and chips. If you've never been to Whitby, you really should go and stay at the Engine Shed, you won't regret it.

  Actually getting into the property at the start of the holiday was a little difficult.

  Several guests arrived at the same time and a backlog occurred on the road. People were having difficulty accessing keys from the key safes. Once in the garage no one knew where to park...as each bay was numbered. Subsequently we realised the numbers were those of our apartments, however we had to park up before finding our apartment and discovering it’s number. This seemed to be stressing some of the more mature guests. It would therefore be easier if on the booking info you were told the number of your appartment. However although we parked in the wrong bay all week and no one bothered it would simplify arrival. The plush carpets throughout the building were fabulous....as walkers coming back in muddied up it meant we had to strip off outside and then access the garage to leave our wet muddy boots and over trousers, as we didn’t want to make a mess. We felt wooden flooring inside the foyer would have been more appropriate. But we loved the place and will definitely return.

  These apartments are stunning!

  The attention to detail and quality of furnishings is of a very high standard. Flowers, milk and a welcome pack were waiting for our arrival, a lovely touch. Anyone who loves a train of any sort would find this an ideal place to stay. To have a steam train standing opposite your window is a lovely sight and sound. The Engine Shed apartments are centrally situated with FREE, SAFE under cover parking. Only a few minutes walk to the town and all Whitby has to offer. I have stayed in many self catering properties over the last 30 years or so, and can honestly say the Engine Shed apartments truly exceeded all my expectations of a self catering stay. Can highly recommend and will certainly return....

  We found the property smelling fusty and dank throughout our stay.

  The previous occupant's rubbish was left in the hallway and no council refuse sack to dispose with. A search to find one behind the door in the hallway revealed a horribly mouldy, dilapidated external toilet. A good location to explore Whitby being situated on a main shopping street, but we could hear noise from the street through the single sheet windows and music from downstairs beneath the living room. The parking here is unfortunate being at times a distance to walk to Zone W depending on how lucky you are finding a space, this is of course more to deal with the influx of tourists than the property. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

  Lovely and comfortable, the apartment was fantastic.

  Just as described with amenities and in a great spot for access to Whitby. It is great to have a parking space too. The beds were very comfy. The view across the Esk is amazing too. The perfect place to stay. The bedding, towels, bathroom suite were very clean. I understand the cleaning team will be very busy but could have just done with a little more attention to detail, the corners of the bathroom floor could have done with being cleaned properly and things on the kitchen work surface moved as there were crumbs under the microwave and on the table. But only a minor point. Altogether a superb place and we would definitely stay there again.
