Guests say
Church View in Whitby is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its prime location near the beach and town, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. Guests appreciate the clean bedding and towels, and the property's spaciousness adds to a pleasant stay. While parking can be challenging, the provided scratch cards are helpful. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, but overall, guests report a satisfying experience and many would return.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests noting clean bedding and towels. However, there are isolated complaints about a mouldy washing machine and a damp smell due to a leak, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to both the town centre and the beach, making it an ideal spot for guests. The only drawback mentioned is the parking difficulty, which is a common issue in Whitby.
Guests find the property comfortable, highlighting the quality of the bed and sofa. Some guests mention the duvet being too warm and a desire for alternative bedding options, but overall comfort is rated highly.
Facilities are generally good, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, good shower, and technology like smart TV and WiFi. Maintenance issues like crooked pictures, loose toilet roll holders, and a lack of recycling instructions slightly affect the score.
The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and there are inconsistencies in provisions due to COVID-19, the score reflects this uncertainty.

It became nigh on impossible to watch live TV or to navigate between 3000 channels as there was 'no information'. A maintenance man attended and said he would recommend to the office that a TV engineer attend. We heard no more despite messaging the office a day after his visit. We considered this level of support to be unsatisfactory. We were thinking of the next occupants as much as ourselves.

Really good facilities and great support from local agents. Very comfortable furnishings, particularly the bed. Only suggestion is that a shaver point would be very handy as would a couple of USB outlets on a couple of the power sockets for charging phones etc. Will certainly visit again in the future.

Our only minor prpblem was not finding a blue bin that we could use for our recycling, which did not affect the enjoyment of the week.
