What our customers say about their holidays

  I'm afraid we were somewhat disappointed by the end of the week.

  On entering the 'Sheds' we noticed that the corridors and stairwell were not clean and it looked as though they had not seen a vacuum cleaner for some time, it was the same when we left one week later. First impressions of our accommodation was good and also thought the car parking situation was secure. We understand that we have been through a time of Covid restrictions etc but felt that having to to strip beds etc at the end of our stay was a bit over the top during current times. We have travelled to the Far East, the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and several places in the UK in recent times and we have never been subject to doing housekeeping work at the end of a holiday. My wife used to be a housekeeper for many years and it was her duty to carry out those tasks, not the guests. We usually go to Whitby every year and will continue to do so, but regrettably, we will not be back to the Engine Sheds.

  Excellent ground floor apartment, furnishings very tasteful and comfy. All the home from home equipment throughout, could not fault and a credit to the owners. As many have said having allotted parking is always a bonus, as Whitby does get busy at times. Very handy to have Sainsburys and Aldi a short drive away. The 199 Steps, yes we did it, but do take care on the steps are quite worn and do get busy, it might help if people didn't take dogs up them. The Cook Museum is extremely interesting, so much he discovered and mapped, not bad for a farm manager's son! Can certainly recommend the fish restaurant at Sandsend, The Fish Cottage. We had an enjoyable week at Whitby, so if you are thinking of going we can certainly recommend The Apartment.

  We really enjoyed the accommodation (we were in Premier, Transit & Lady Hilda @ Engine Shed).

  Initially we could not get in the main door as our code number as incorrect, but we spoke to the contact you gave us (mobile number) and very quickly we were in. We were impressed with the welcome pack (milk, bread, tea, coffee etc - many thanks). The only problem we experienced was the toilet seat was loose (I tried to fix, but its one of those seats that is only accessible before fitting to wall) ... a nice touch was to have Netflix and Amazon Prime on the TV. We loved the train set (1:1) you installed for us I think the only maor change would be to have Air Conditioning. Hopefully, later in the year we will find another similar property for a UK Staycation ;0)

  This accommodation is superb - very high standard in style, furnishings, etc , I can’t praise it enough .

  The steam trains passing right past the window was amazing and not at all intrusive . The owner even bent over backwards to ensure the accommodation my parents took - Duchess of Hamilton, had added essentials for a disabled person . The closeness to the town and harbour was also a bonus . One little suggestion would be good is adding a chair to the lounge area with a standing lamp - only for a reading area . Not by any stretch a necessity but would avoid having to sit in front of the HUGE tv if not wanting to watch it . Well done to the owner having the insight to do what he has with the old buildings which would otherwise have been left to rot . Perfect in every way !!!!!

  The location a few hundred yards from Whitby town meant that everything that we needed or wanted was only minutes away.

  The apartment décor and fittings was well appointed, some of which didn't seem to have been used much as they were in pristine condition, but why would they be with many eating places in the vicinity. Large Co-op a few minutes away provides for any food purchases. The "Welcome" pack was a useful set of provisions to start with. Secured & reliable car parking was an immense benefit. Apartment was well sound proofed and no noise from adjacent apartments our external noise could be heard. Apartment was spacious enough. Plenty of cupboard space. North Yorkshire Moors railway running past the window. A pleasure not having to drive anywhere.
