New Year Breaks In Whitby

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

  We were so delighted with our Sykes accommodation earlier this year in Ilfracombe, that we booked with Sykes again for Whitby.

  We can not agree with the high rating awarded to The Riddle. We have holidayed at Whitby 4 times now, but this was the first time in Whitby itself. The standard of cleanliness was very good internally, as was the quality of mattress - very much appreciated. Bathroom and bedroom were good although sole wardrobe hanging space being in a boiler cupboard was well below expectation and needed venting to avoid tainting clothing. The lounge was disappointing, lacking a cosy feel and feeling more like an impersonal waiting room. Flooring is worn in lounge. Good sitting out area at front which we enjoyed once we had swept it. The rear courtyard could have been so much more pleasurable with a little tlc and at modest cost. The difficulty of parking would prevent us from staying in Whitby itself again (at least during peak season).

  We stayed here as a last minute booking and chose this over others as it stated parking.

  It wasn't until we received the booking details through Sykes did we realise it was on street parking but that is the nature of Whitby We didn't arrive until 9 o'clock so there were no parking spaces available which was a bit stressful, so we quickly dropped off bags and ended up parking in the overnight facility at the leisure centre. The property itself was lovely, clean and very comfortable. I would say that it would be better with black out blinds or curtains in the bedroom as we were woken early by the sun. The shower was really powerful and the basket of cake/biscuits were a nice touch. The property is fairly central but not too close to the busy areas. I would go back and it would be less stressful as we know what the parking situation is. A lovely weekend stay x

  Really lovely property in a great location in the centre of Whitby. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, roomy lounge and a great patio with all day sun (so long as it's shining!). The top floor bedroom is huge and with an en-suite went down very well with our teenage girls! It's tight to get in and out of the parking spot - the parking area is shared with 2 other properties - so worth bearing in mind, but we didn't have an issue with this and were happy with the arrangement.

  Thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Riddle, amazing location, very clean and tidy, comfortable stay and lots of extras that we weren't expecting.

  You do need to get some milk tho, that's not included in the welcome pack but everything else in there was very much appreciated. Only thing I'd say the flat needs is a slip mat in the shower as this is very slippy when wet. We did have to scrub the chairs outside tho as they was caked in bird poo, must of been like that for ages as they was well stuck but thankfully lots of cleaning gear in the flat. We will deffo be back to stay, totally loved it there!
