  We really loved our stay.

  It is a lovely well equiped house with a very comfortable bed. Unfortunately, on arrival, I had to clean all work surfaces. Window sills, bedroom furniture, all mirrors in the bedroom & bathroom. It was quite dirty in places. The banister leading upstairs was filthy. The cloth I used was black. I think it 8s a major oversight as in this day & age, cleanliness needs to be paramount. This was most definitely an accumulation of dust & dirt. It's clearly not getting a thorough clean after each guest. The house itself is so nice with some really nice items. They just need a good clean & to be honest the whole place needs freshening up with a paint. I would use the word grubby. Also, the outside space on the photos looked so nice. Sadly, it was nothing like the photos. The planters were completely overgrown with weeds & there was a very old rusted small round table & 2 rusted chairs. This could really be lovely if it was looked after. Because I had to clean on arrival, the owners allowed us to stay an extra night for free which was nice. We have stayed in Whitby every year tor around 10 years now & never had to clean a property on arrival. Please clean & freshen this place up as it is such a nice house in a great central place. We are considering booking "Tuksumdoin" the house next door for next time as the cleaner was in the property when we walked past one day & she let us have a look around. Looks really nice & also has an extra bedroom. Sykes themselves were helpful once I finally reached someone. The process took 5 days to resolve. If I had known sooner that wots app was available then this would of been much quicker.

  We have been to Park View twice this year, July and September.

  We enjoyed both stays. The apartment is very comfortable, well situated for all amenities. Close to the harbour and opposite Pannet Park. It is very very comfortable for 3 people. The second bedroom is quite small, the bed is up against the wall, so some may struggle to get in and out of the bed if there was two people. Again this is only an issue if there is mobility problems, but feel people should know this before they choose to book. Another issue is, there are two steep flights of stairs to the apartment which when carrying heavy luggage or for anyone with mobility problems would be a real problem. There is no parking at the property, we have been fortunate to find on street free parking, as we know Whitby well, but if you don't manage to find anywhere, the cost of parking for the weeks stay would be pricey. Park View is a great place to stay, we have had a super time. The reason I pointed out the stairs and bed is we took my elder sister with us one of the stays and she struggled with the stairs, but other than that had a great time.

  Well located apartment, and a good size for 3, with everything we needed for a good stay.

  We had a couple of hiccups though; Noise from the resistant upstairs-it might be worth noting in the description that the apartments are mixed holiday and residential. The tv didn’t work for the duration of our stay, the property owner was quick to help but was told a new part was required and not available until our return date. Another landlord spotted that an electric switch in the communal area had been set to off, this had prevented the tv and the communal hall/stair lights from working. We left the keys in the door lock of the apartment (as we were intending on going straight back out) and out of habit my daughter turned the catch inside. This effectively deadlocked the lock, meaning we were locked in the apartment. A neighbour heard us knocking and released us fortunately. Serious issue potentially, especially in case of fire. We found the double bed, with the footboard a little too small in the master bedroom. The flat owner couldn’t have gone more to help with the issues.

  The cottage is in an excellent location.

  It is a 2 minute walk from the West side of the swing bridge, right in the middle of the action. Despite this, it was very quiet inside with no external noise. The view is of rooftops with a sliver of sea. The abbey is visible on the other side of the river. The cottage is very well appointed with ample glasses, crockery etc. The bed was comfy (and huge). All furniture was modern, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was modern and clean with instant hot water in the shower. The whole accommodation looks brand new and was spotlessly clean. The only issue we had was parking… we were provided with a parking pass for W designated streets but, in the time we were there, we were unable to find a single parking space on those streets (although it was Goth weekend so extremely busy). However, with a bit of planning, we found we could use Whitby’s car parks cost effectively. I would stay there again and would recommend it to anyone else unless they needed to have designated, on-property parking.

  The property was lovely and in a nice condition, the overall area was really nice and only a 5 minute walk into the main areas of Whitby!

  The traffic noise was there due to being on a busy road but they have done everything they can to cancel this out such as adding another window screen. I personally don’t mind the noise but if your looking for quiet this would not be the place for you :) The facilities were one of the best we have come across in a long while and you can tell the care that has been taken within the property. Unfortunately there were a few things that I would like to mention :( There were a few items left in the bedside table (corkscrew) and a few cobwebs in the main living area. With regards to the lock box please label it! It would make it so much easier. We did not have the best nights sleep on the main bedroom bed provided as it was really hard and we did have some pain when waking up which is such a shame due to everything else being better than what we could ask for! Thank you for a lovely stay and we wish you all the best x
