  The cottage itself is excellent and we enjoyed our stay.

  It is comfortable and well equipped. The location is great. It is against all the many positives that with regret I am leaving what may be seen as negative feedback. I am sorry to do this. The main thing for me was that the cottage was not as clean as I would expect. There were large dusty cobwebs in the living room around the furniture and lamps and across the window and in one of the bedrooms. It is the only time I can recall having to reach for a feather duster shortly after arrival. The floor was not properly clean. A highchair had been left out and there was dirt around it and just under the cupboard and other furniture. Worse still there were lots of large cobwebs hanging in two of the base cupboards and immediately hanging down as you opened the doors. You couldn’t get into the cupboard. Feather dusting kitchen cupboards was a first for me. Some of the crockery was dirty and had not been checked. The two frying pans need replacing. They both stick horribly as the non stick surface has worn off. The handle on one wobbles so much it feels like it will fall off. The side panels of the bath are dirty and need cleaning. The bathroom door is very swollen and sticks horribly. It needs to be freed. The bathroom is otherwise really well fitted with quality appliances and a good shower. It is such a pity. The toilet brush was broken and unusable with the handle completely detached. How did the cleaners not notice? The absence of a useable toilet brush was unacceptable. I am really sorry to have to give what will seem like negative comments. I really didn’t want to do this. The cottage is great but the quality of cleaning detracted from it. We felt the cottage and owners were let down by this.

  The property is situated in a perfect location 2 minutes from Sandsend sea front.

  You do need to climb a few steps to get there though the quaint cottages in the location. On entering the property you enter the kitchen and living room area which are spacious and very well equipped with everything you would need on holiday, including a washing machine, dish washer, slow cooker and coffee pod machine. There are three bedrooms on the next two levels and one bathroom on level two and an en suite on level three. You can see the sea from level three. The beds were very comfy! The garden is levelled and a lovely space with a sea view from the top of the garden. We watched the sun rise from here on one of the days. The property is in a perfect location and you can see Whitby Abbey in the distance. There is a lovely Wits End Cafe 2 minutes one way and The Hart Inn pub 2 minutes the other way. There is on road parking but this is limited, although we were lucky every day that we stayed and managed to get a space. There is a public car park only a minute away though. Unsure of charges. In all I would recommend this property but do think it would benefit from a deep Clean to freshen it up. No complaints from us and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Whitby.

  The apartment, was spacious, well furnished, well stocked ,with kitchen equipment, towels, hand wash in each bathroom, and kitchen.

  A nice Sony TV, an assorted collection of DVDs, for all ages, comfortable sofas, and armchairs, made the evenings enjoyable ! The front windows, facing the balcony, are in need of a little planning, to enable them to be fully closed, it was difficult to engage the catches, which eventually will become detached, and are very draughty ! The electrical socket, in the middle bedroom, supplying power to the 'Wi-Fi', is loose on the wall, and the other, in the 'Dining Room', although secure to the wall, is missing a screw, to the 'Front Plate', making it loose, also, when operating the 'Glen' heater, the plug becomes hot ! These issues aside, we had a very happy time at 'Clarendon House', a mixture of, old rustic charm, with modern facilities ! Had the weather been warmer, evenings could have been spent, on the balcony, fully enjoying the setting sun ! But hey, one can't book the weather ! We would consider, booking again !

  We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the brilliant Treverrion!

  It is a gorgeous property, located on a lovely, quiet street with great sea views and just a short walk to the beach. For those who are keen walkers, Treverrion is also situated perfectly for scenic coastal walks right from the front door. One of our holiday highlights was walking the Dodman Long Loop. We couldn't be happier with the cleanliness of the property. It really was faultless! The comfort in each room and the fact that it was so well-equipped made us feel immediately at home too. I made contact with the owner directly to arrange for a highchair to be made available to us for our stay and they went above and beyond for us! The communication was excellent; enough to reassure me that I could contact them if ever I needed to but not at all overbearing or intrusive. We would definitely recommend this holiday home to others and would happily return ourselves. Thank you for a wonderful week!

  Thanks to the lovely house we had a fantastic holiday in Sandsend!

  ! We would def5stay there again. It was a nice size house and big enough rooms and space that we didn't feel on top of one another. The bed photos were not clear in the advert, I think there were 2 photos of the same bed. It was advertised as 3 double beds but we found and used the folding bed for our 3 Yr old which we were really really happy about! That was a worry for us. It's a shame this wasn't advertised as it would have really helped us. There were toys and other things for children, so children were clearly welcome. It's also a pity a sheet wasn't able to be provided for the folding bed. Again if we had known we could have easily brought one with us. The house was great. The only thing wrong was the dishwasher - it didn't fit things very well and the dinner plates and wine glasses were too big for the dishwasher. So we washed by hand. Thank you for the lovely stay
