  The location of the property is fantastic, and the promise of off road parking was a big incentive.

  The apartments are finished to a very high specification and Helen provided lots of pre visit information and recommendations. The Evening Star is much smaller than other apartments that are priced the same so we expected them to be the same, however in reality the living space is very small and dark, we are tall and barely fitted in the double beds, especially in room two when there is no room at the end of the bed for long legs. The apartment is on the ground level as you walk into the building but in reality it is in the roof of the Shed, thus the windows are all below shoulder level, so you have to bend well down to look out and there is thick frames and heavy black Iron grating, giving the impression of a prison cell, so although we could technically see the abbey and the river, it was only if we knelt on the floor. Also the 2nd bedroom is so small that you can’t walk round the bed, so the person sleeping next to the window (approx 6 feet from the 6.30am train on the track right next to it) has to climb over their partner for any night time bathroom visit. There needs to be some sort of procedure, perhaps a locking pole at the end of each parking spot, with a key for each flat as it was clear that some people used more than their one space allocation, we were not the only couple who had to park on the road, despite paying for this premium Property on a promise of off road parking. We would definitely stay at the Engine shed again, but definitely not in the Evening star if it stays the same price as the bigger apartments.

  We loved our stay at the Engine Sheds.

  It was a gorgeous apartment in a brilliant location. Very central to Whitby (Less than 5 mins walk to the centre) but not bang in the middle of everything so it wasn’t noisy. The underground parking space was brilliant and the whole place felt very secure. The apartment itself was brilliant, lovely facilities, clean and new. You really do have everything you need, even a washing machine. If I was being really picky then it is useful to know that when it is warm although you can open the windows, we chose not to because the seagulls are so loud and also some trains do come past relatively early. Also there is no outside space at the apartment so it’s not like you can sit out on an evening, although you are so close to everything that you can go for a walk, etc. We would definitely stay there again.

  On arrival at the property things looked great and felt very spacious, however each room (particularly the kitchen/lounge area) was tiny and although well equipped, the sofa was hard and uncomfortable.

  There was hardly enough space in each bedroom (you can’t walk around the beds very easily and in the second bedroom, it’s impossible) and one tiny wardrobe was not enough storage for a weeks stay. Both beds were the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept on and even our 11 year old daughter (who could usually sleep anywhere) complained of back ache. Seriously, the beds felt like slabs of stone. The noise outside the apartment was also terrible due to seagulls and noisy neighbours but understandable that is outside of the owners control. The apartment was super clean and well equipped but unfortunately we didn’t receive the welcome pack as described and due to how uncomfortable the beds were, we left after 2 nights (we planned to stay for 5 nights). Lots to improve on….

  We love this cottage, have stayed twice now and have rebooked for next year. It’s a no frills, practical, warm, clean cottage with everything you need and just a short stroll along the estuary to the town and beaches.The beds are comfortable, bedding and towels are good quality and there is a well equipped kitchen. There are throws to put on the sofa if you have a pet, and dog bowls are provided. There are also beach toys for children. The cottage does involve steps so not good if you have any mobility issues and parking is a gamble on the road but it is free parking if you manage to find a space, which is a bonus! Around the corner is a fabulous fruit/veg wholesalers who also sell to the public, it was also brilliant for the day to day bits we needed, milk, bread, eggs etc.

  We enjoyed our stay but there was some issues.

  First I got stuck in the bathroom because of the lock, luckily the owners came quickly to let me out but it's not the point. Either fix the lock or remove it. Secondly the bedroom blinds make it very difficult to get a good night sleep, there is a light outside the building so with it being light grey blinds light easily came in so it was difficult to sleep. Please change the blinds to black or add some curtains. And final thing is the bath shower, the glass covering is not enough, whenever I had a shower water would get all over the floor which made it dangerous when getting out of the bath/shower. Please get a floor mat or a shower curtain. Other than these issues it is a nice apartment but I have stayed in better.
