New Year Breaks In Whitby

What our customers say about their holidays

  We were in Whitby for the folk week.

  The cottage was ideally situated for the events of interest to us.Some people comment of issues with the stairs but we didn't have any problems even carrying instruments. Seen much worse in Whitby. The windows look out over a busy street but noise was not an issue. The Sykes listing is wrong in two key facts - access time is not 5pm. The cottage documents show earlier than this but it is too late to know after travelling. It would be good to get a text on the arrival day to say that the cottage is ready for us, Further, leave time is a more conventional 10am, not 9 per the website. We were nearly put off booking by the incorrect times. Secondly the listing refers to permit parking nearby so one thinks of the scratch cards but the cottage has a permit to use at West Cliff car park for the duration of the stay. The property has a very well appointed: kitchen which had all required appliances except perhaps a tea strainer. Cupboards full of more glasses, mugs and plates that you ever would need in an accommodation this size. Sink drainer stand not the right size for the crockery though. Furniture is looking a bit battered but comfy enough. There are no fewer than 3 tvs but we did not use having the folk week entertainment Bedrooms are a bit tight for space and we had to move the twin beds across to be able to open the wardrobes. The beds are OK. Access to the bathroom is down 2 steep steps and in the middle of the night one really needs a hand rail to navigate safely. Slippers recommended as the steps dig into bare feet. The walk in shower is good but the operation is very stiff. Although there is a warning in the handbook you haven't read that in the shower on arrival. Better still just sort it. Nice towels but no where to dry them. The radiators are too close to the wall to hang them on. Please provide a heated towel rail.

  Nice apartment in great location just where I wanted to be, central for all amenities including town centre, beach, harbour, shops etc, apartment had everything I needed quiet with all the essentials clean and tidy and well equipped, parking not a problem with permits and availablity. Weather was perfect all week. Left some items in apartment and owner contacted me to let me know and is posting items back out to me so many thanks and grateful for that. Will definetly return again. Whitby and surrounding area is lovely and one of my favourtite destinations.

  Stopped at Seagul Vista, lovely cosy cottage very quiet, the views from room window were stunning. Only ten minutes walk to sea front. Lovely cafe Cranberry Swamp behind d cottage. Loads of shops and restaurants. Towels are supplied and the washer dryer was ideal to get your washing done before you repack for home. Complimentary basket 2 small bottle s of beer and small bottle of prosecco plus lively cookies. All in all a very enjoyable stay would definitely go again. Quick response from Susan the owner when we had a problem with shower but all sorted.

  Stayed in Whitby many times.

  The Seahorse was really excellent accommodation based over two levels which may be a consideration if you are less mobile than we are. Spotlessly clean great kitchen well equipped and nice to have a dinning area. Great added bonus a resident parking space for up near the leisure centre a five minute walk away. In a great area with an excellent fish and chip shop on Silver Street pubs bars and of course the wonderful Bothams bakery and tea rooms. Would recommend Seahorses and we will definitely be returning later in the year.

  We were pleased to see Seahorse when we were looking to stay in Whitby.

  We have stayed there and in the other 2 apartments in the building previously when they were owned by someone else. Seahorse is perfectly located for everything and the apartment provides you with plenty of space to relax and spread out. We really enjoyed our stay and have booked again for next year. The stairs up to apartment certainly give you a work out so if you're not too good on your feet there's no lift to get you upstairs so something to bear in mind. Thank you for sharing your apartment with us all.
