Guests are highly satisfied with the Blue Peter @ Engine Shed, praising its modern amenities, cleanliness, and central location in Whitby. The secure parking and proximity to attractions are appreciated, as are the thoughtful touches like welcome packs. Some guests noted issues with access codes and firm mattresses, but these were minor compared to the overall positive experience.
Reviews consistently mention the property being 'sparkling clean', with high standards of cleanliness, particularly appreciated during the COVID-19 period. Only one minor mention of a greasy plate and pan slightly marred the otherwise impeccable feedback.
The central location is highly praised for its convenience to Whitby town centre, attractions, and transport links. The secure parking is a bonus, and the proximity to the railway is seen as a unique feature rather than a disturbance.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with a spacious layout and modern furnishings. However, some guests found the beds and pillows too firm for their liking, which affects the comfort score.
Facilities are regarded as excellent, with well-equipped kitchens and high-spec bathrooms. Some feedback suggests room for improvement in providing instructions for appliances and addressing minor maintenance issues like missing grout and a non-working extractor fan.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful welcome packs and fresh flowers, contributing to a memorable stay. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such extras, while delightful, are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
