What our customers say about their holidays

• Kenneth - Verified booking

  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

  We’ve had a lovely 2 night break in Willow lodge.

  The lodge itself has everything you could need and is immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure and temperature in the showers was great. Fresh towels and crisp bedding provided. The location is fantastic, a couple of miles from the centre of Whitby and a short walk to a great pub. There is a park and ride and petrol station close by. We really enjoyed the hot tub, which again was immaculately clean and set to a great temperature for arrival. A clothes horse or retracing line to hang wet towels would be useful, also additional hot tub towels. We brought our own so not an issue for us. Not a negative, just some feedback which may help the owners keep the lodge in its best condition. We will definitely return…this place is a real gem!!

  We had a lovely three-night stay.

  The cottage is bursting with original character of its age; slightly wonky stairs, the old stove in the bedroom and tiny windows looking out on the square. It takes you back in time somewhat. The central location was really great, we based our days from the house and walked everywhere from there. The bed was really comfortable and we slept very well indeed! Parking was a mild inconvenience being a 1/2 mile walk away, and I had to do a few loops to find a suitable spot, but it was minor in relation to the positives. That said, I expect that if we had gone at a busier time of year, this could have been more of an issue, and for that reason alone, I would opt for parking included if we ever returned during peak time.

  Whilst the position is very good, overall the house was disappointing. There is no table room for 6 people, and the sofas are past their best. The TV cannot be viewed from all the chairs. The down stairs shower room was in our opinion dangerously hot as the temperature control made no difference and you had to turn it off to cool down before continuing. It is also difficult to get into and so small you can barely move. The house heating control is difficult to use as it 'learns' but it generally doeswhat it wants rather than what you want. Instructions regarding waste collection need improving. It wasnt the best weeks holiday and we wont be using the house again.
