Location very central to Whitby town centre , approximately 5 minute walk , perfect for exploring . The only minor issue was the front door was hard to lock but apart from that lovely home

Two small repairs could be done, the cold cock in the main bathroom was leaking and the light for shaver did not work. Heating valves do not work correctly. The owner could save energy costs. Otherwise all fine as usual.

We were slightly worried having read a few reviews. However, once again, we trusted Sykes Cottages, and they certainly didn t disappoint. The house was absolutely spotless, location excellent. There was everything we needed, glasses, crockery was more than ample. The house was lovely and warm. I can never understand the trivial grumbles. We would definitely return, and would highly recommend Sykes Cottages AND this property. Alan Benton Rotherham South Yorks.
