  The welcome pack, especially the biscuits and wine was a nice surprise.

  Less welcome was the lack of any hand soap in the wet room or elsewhere. The wet room was one of the reasons we chose the bungalow, and it worked well, although those with mobility issues might have found it a bit tight. The rubbish bins were a slight puzzle. We left the recycling bin out to be collected as requested, and this had not been done by the time we left. This was quite tricky as the bench and the step to the back door were in the way and took some manoeuvring. Each of the bins contained a large black bin liner which we hoped was OK. At home the presence of such a liner would have resulted in the bin collectors refusing to touch it. A note about this in the visitor file might be useful. The well maintained back garden with seating was a nice feature. Being reasonably mobile we were able to walk into town, although the very heavy traffic made this slightly unpleasant until we worked out back routes away from the noise and fumes. Some visitors might appreciate some notes on how to do this. We were late also in discovering the access to the cinder track and this again might be a useful addition to the visitor information. If we were to stay in Whitby again we would be happy to book this clean modern bungalow again.

  Good location within 10 mins walk into main town/attraction area.

  Free street parking right outside and the streets nearby, if there are any spaces. We did find a space, so we had no problem. The property itself was generally good and spacious. The kitchen had a huge dining table with all the necessary cutlery, cups and plates. However, there were a few negative things. We couldn't figure out how to control the heating. We went when it was really warm and the radiators were still heating up. One side of the toaster started smoking, so it should be replaced. The washing machine didn't have drying function, so wouldn't be useful unless you were staying there for like a week. The bathroom skylight window was right above the toilet and had no blinds. It is on the top floor and maybe no one can see, but still felt weird and exposed at night time with the light on. There were 2 huge TV's in the top bedroom and the sitting room downstairs, and both did not receive any channels so they were useless. Only the little TV in the kitchen worked with a few channels.

  We had a lovely stay at Sunnybrae.

  The property was clean and tidy with an array of appliances and in a great location. Robin Hood's Bay was close by along with other great tourist locations. The walk to Whitby along the Cinder Track was pleasant and took us 20 minutes (walking slowly). We didn't find the bed in the main room overly comfortable and did have trouble sleeping, unfortunately we couldn't fit our bed in the car :-) The property is close to supermarkets, only a 5 minute drive away and only about 8 minutes into Whitby itself. The bedrooms had plenty of storage and the bathroom was nice and big, my only issue was that there were no hooks on the doors to hang things, would be useful for a towel on the bathroom door. We did have some issues with parking on our stay, there seemed to be more than 1 car per property and there weren't enough spaces. I would recommend Sunnybrae as a great place to stay.

  Location 10/10 just far away enough from bars to not get the noise but close enough to be a short stroll to everything you need.

  Cottage itself 10/10 perfect size and good facilities. However cleanliness was a 3/10 on the day we arrived I felt something under my foot so got the brush and found tie nails and a generally in clean floor. there was no toilet roll provided which is not clearly stated but as we were close to shops this wasn't a major issue. On the day of leaving there is a note asking for you to strip the beds and put into the laundry bags provided! Firstly there were no laundry bags and second I was disgusted to see the state of the mattress topper on the beds! I have a picture I would happily share On the whole we loved the place and would go again if the cleaning was a higher standard or we could get in before 3pm to give it a proper clean before our stay.

  Fab holiday property in a great location about a mile from Whitby along a very good path called the cinder track.

  Sunnybrae was absolutely spotless and had plenty of room for two couples. Very well equipped and we were left a very welcome food pack. If you are lucky enough to stay here we would recommend eating at The Four Seasons restaurant, the Penny Hedge and the Forge Inn for Sunday lunch. The only recommendations we would have is that the although we didn’t have too many problems parking markings would really help as some people are very inconsiderate and do not park correctly. There is also no recycling which in these times cannot believe the local council allows this. We brought ours home !!! We would definitely book this property again and have recommended it to our family and friends.
