What our customers say about their holidays

  I tried many times to contact Sykes but found your company must be one of the worst I have come across to speak with.

  For instance, Chat line - busy contact, What's App - busy - contact us by text message and wait several days only then did I hear from you, but you did not answer my question even then. One week before I did eventually get a reply from Ian (I think) and managed from there. Do you not realize actually speaking to someone on the phone is the best Customer Service anyone can offer and takes away so much frustration. The cottage itself - heating excellent - upstairs comfortable and situated central which were all good. However, the dishwashes soap holder was broken so we could not use it, only half the kitchen lights worked, the downstairs lights were too dim so could not read from them at night, and the shower head fell off the top floor shower and we had to buy some more rubbish bags. Really and end of season situation which at the cottage price is really not good enough. We did manage to have a decent holiday though,

  Property was very comfortable/clean and well maintained.

  Well equipped throughout and easily usable. Spaceous shower area and good sized bedrooms. Living/Dining and Kitchen areas nicely planned. Really loved the additional blackberry bush out back. Nice views over the harbour. Ovengloves would be useful for the kitchen, as would cleaning fluid, for the shower areas as well. Glass surface protectors tend to blunt knives so a timber chopping board would be benificial. Blinds in the shower areas and at the bottom of the staircase would improve privacy. The garage is a major bonus. It would be improved by clearing out all the stuff in there totally. It was just long enough to fit my Insignia in but didn't leave much width with the bench unit being there, making it difficult to get in and out of. Maybe would allow two cars to be parked in there.

  On arrival the apartment was everything we wanted for our Christmas break it was very clean with beautiful furniture and a real home from home.

  It was extremely cold on entering as the heating was on a very low heat level and I don’t think there had been any occupants the previous week to air it through!! We turned the heating on full and also tried to use the gas fire but it wouldn’t light at all. This made the upstairs unbearably hot but still very cold in the living areas and a draught seemed to be coming from somewhere. We contacted the owner about this but he said that due to it being the Christmas period he had been unable to find anyone to fix the problem with the fire. Perhaps it would be a good idea to provide some kind of portable heater especially at this time of year. Other than this we had a great time in Odd Sock Cottage and would gladly return but probably in the warmer months.

  Lovely, well appointed cottage centrally situated in a quiet street leading up to West Cliff.

  Parking for one car a real bonus. We stayed as a family of 6 with parents, 2 young children and grandparents, the layout suited us as grandparents took the top floor and the family the first floor, all had their own bath/shower rooms . We did get a supermarket delivery which stretched the storage space in the kitchen, and ended up moving the cleaning products into the under stairs cupboard for the duration of our stay. It would have been nice to have a recycling bin (no room at the back) however we found a can and plastic bottle recycling point on the front near the boats, maybe this should be mentioned in the welcome info. This was our first stay in Whitby and we loved it.

  Cottage was lovely.

  Perfectly situated, less than 5 minutes to the harbour and local amenities. Rooms were lovely, albeit one of the double rooms quite small. Parking for one car just at the side of the cottage. Scratch cards can be purchased for additional parking if needed, which we did. Please note that these cannot be used in the parking spaces directly outside the cottage, as one of our family members realised when he got a hefty parking fine. Please note that although it states that there is a BBQ there isn’t, just in case, like us, you were planning to have a BBQ. All in all I would definitely recommend this place for anyone considering staying in Whitby.
