  A very nice cottage in a good location.

  The parking space is a real bonus. The sitting room is very comfortable and nicely decorated. Good, powerful showers in the bathrooms and comfy beds. Good wi-fi. Very big, modern kitchen, though we mainly used it for tea & coffee, we didn’t really do any cooking as there are so many good restaurants within a few minutes walk. We quite liked that stairs are behind a door making the upstairs rooms feel separate and private. I couldn’t give top marks for cleanliness and maintenance because of a few niggly things: One of the first things we noticed was that one of the curtains on the rail near the dining table was only hanging by its middle rings. We were also not keen on the grubby, used washing up sponge in the kitchen and part used toilet rolls in the bathrooms. We also found a used cotton bud on the bedroom floor. We have stayed in many holiday cottages and would have to say that his one felt very much as though it is a business for the owner rather than personal. In previous properties we’ve had baskets of local produce left for us, some have even left beer & prosecco but most importantly milk. We had a seven hour drive to reach the cottage arriving late on Friday afternoon, a pint of milk in the fridge would have been very welcome. But these are just minor things and I don’t want to appear negative, overall we would definitely recommend the cottage.

  We have been to Park View twice this year, July and September.

  We enjoyed both stays. The apartment is very comfortable, well situated for all amenities. Close to the harbour and opposite Pannet Park. It is very very comfortable for 3 people. The second bedroom is quite small, the bed is up against the wall, so some may struggle to get in and out of the bed if there was two people. Again this is only an issue if there is mobility problems, but feel people should know this before they choose to book. Another issue is, there are two steep flights of stairs to the apartment which when carrying heavy luggage or for anyone with mobility problems would be a real problem. There is no parking at the property, we have been fortunate to find on street free parking, as we know Whitby well, but if you don't manage to find anywhere, the cost of parking for the weeks stay would be pricey. Park View is a great place to stay, we have had a super time. The reason I pointed out the stairs and bed is we took my elder sister with us one of the stays and she struggled with the stairs, but other than that had a great time.

  Well located apartment, and a good size for 3, with everything we needed for a good stay.

  We had a couple of hiccups though; Noise from the resistant upstairs-it might be worth noting in the description that the apartments are mixed holiday and residential. The tv didn’t work for the duration of our stay, the property owner was quick to help but was told a new part was required and not available until our return date. Another landlord spotted that an electric switch in the communal area had been set to off, this had prevented the tv and the communal hall/stair lights from working. We left the keys in the door lock of the apartment (as we were intending on going straight back out) and out of habit my daughter turned the catch inside. This effectively deadlocked the lock, meaning we were locked in the apartment. A neighbour heard us knocking and released us fortunately. Serious issue potentially, especially in case of fire. We found the double bed, with the footboard a little too small in the master bedroom. The flat owner couldn’t have gone more to help with the issues.

  A very lovely cottage in a perfect location.

  Everything inside was to a high standard and I would very much recommend this cottage as a holiday destination. However there were a few downsides, firstly (as mentioned in another review) there was no welcome pack - even a bottle of milk is much appreciated and the fact that the first thing you see as you walk in, is a bag asking you to strip the beds and put the towels in it citing coronaviros is not acceptable in my view. You don't pay a decent amount to stay in a cottage and then be expected to do much of the work yourself....especially now we are not in the height of the pandemic. It would have been useful to mention in the details how steep the stairs are up to the rooms and we did have the problem of one of the residents telling us off for using an unallocated parking space despite the fact it is right in front of the cottage and wouldn't be used by anyone else. Finally the check in time of 4pm could do with a review. I would have thought 3pm latest is more appropriate

  The property was lovely and in a nice condition, the overall area was really nice and only a 5 minute walk into the main areas of Whitby!

  The traffic noise was there due to being on a busy road but they have done everything they can to cancel this out such as adding another window screen. I personally don’t mind the noise but if your looking for quiet this would not be the place for you :) The facilities were one of the best we have come across in a long while and you can tell the care that has been taken within the property. Unfortunately there were a few things that I would like to mention :( There were a few items left in the bedside table (corkscrew) and a few cobwebs in the main living area. With regards to the lock box please label it! It would make it so much easier. We did not have the best nights sleep on the main bedroom bed provided as it was really hard and we did have some pain when waking up which is such a shame due to everything else being better than what we could ask for! Thank you for a lovely stay and we wish you all the best x
