About this property
Perched in the bustling town of Whitby, North Yorkshire, is this superb seven-bedroom Victorian house, Pannett Park View. Enjoying a prime location just moments away from gorgeous Blue Flag beaches and within the stunning surroundings of the North York Moors National Park, Pannett Park View is a fantastic dwelling for a group or family of seven seeking the very best of Yorkshire’s coast and country. Look forward to cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, ready to savour the fruits of your labour at the dining table for 13 over celebratory bottles of fizz. After dinner, why not head out into the rear garden where you can enjoy the last of the day’s rays with an indulgent dip in the hot tub? Just off the kitchen, you will find a utility for your convenience. As the evening grows darker, retire to the sitting room where you can gather your loved ones and enjoy a family movie night on the TV. Climb the stairs up to the second-floor, where you can freshen up after a day of hiking through the moors with a soak in the bath, or a refreshing rinse in the overhead shower. There is also a separate cloakroom nearby. When sleep calls, you will find three well-appointed bedrooms on this floor, a super-king-size with views overlooking the park, a king-size and a twin. Continue up to the second-floor, where four more king-size bedrooms await, two of which have zip/link, ensuring flexible sleeping arrangements for all parties. There is also a bathroom on this floor where you can prepare for the day in style. Pack-up your bathing suits, swimming trunks and towels and head straight for the glorious sands of Whitby Beach, where you can bathe, paddle the shores, enjoy a leisurely stroll up to Whitby Harbour Lighthouse or hook your catch of the day along the West Pier. Within the town you will be spoilt for choice for things to do, with panoramic views atop the 199 Steps, the wonders of the Gothic Whitby Abbey, the fun-filled Dracula Experience, the picturesque Pannett Park which is home to the Whitby Museum and the Captain Cook Museum. The Michelin listed 'The Star Inn The Harbour' is well worth a visit! For a truly memorable day out, why not a whale watching boat trip to spot the local marine life? Keen walkers and outdoor enthusiasts will delight at the easy access to the fabulous surroundings of the North York Moors National Park, where you can visit Mulgrave Castle, tackle The Wainstones and Ingleby Incline and enjoy walks through the wooded river valleys and hikes through the vast moorlands.

Fantastic location minutes from town. We had parking for 4 cars two on road two in drive - which is steep but usable. On the basis of others reviews the fridge freezer issues have been rectified, the toilet seats are fine, there is a dishwasher not sure if this new as wasnât on listing. Plenty of kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery. Large dining room fitting all round a table. Big room huge TV great for karaoke! The bathrooms were fine and functional the top floor toilet is plumbed into the hot water so beware but usable. The bedrooms again nice size and warm (we had to turn heaters off). Only downside it has been restored on the cheap so donât expect a luxury finish. The garden needs attention and the hot tub is usable but the decking round it is a bit wobbly. The windows donât open or donât close but all in keeping with the character. The internal doors some close some donât not a big issue. The stairs at the front are very steep but you can access via a path at the side which is more of a slope through a back door once you are inside. All in all if itâs a big group all about getting together enjoying Whitby and each others company great property look past the decor and external facade and enjoy the splendour of a itâs age, size and location.

Good position in town, within walking distance of beach and town centre, and opposite the park with a good playground. However, the holiday was marred by a number of issues. The most significant was the non- functioning freezer and a fridge which whilst it worked continually ran with water. Additionally there were over 20 other "snagging" faults from loose toilet seats, missing door handles, very stiff toilet door locks and a toilet which flushed with hot water. Some of these issues have appeared on reviews several months ago, but had not been addressed before our visit. Reported the faulty freezer to Sykes, along with other issues, who passed on to the owners. No engineer or contact from the owner during our week stay, and now two weeks after our return home, we have still no received any communication, not even an apology, from either the owners, or Sykes. Stay here as it is a large property in a good location but be aware it is not perfect and you may have difficulty getting any response if you have problems.

The location is great but the property itself needs work as finish is not to a great standard. On arrival key code was wrong so had to phone for support which we did get straight away. The bedrooms are nicely decorated but some curtains are falling down, the toilet door upstairs does shut therefore unable to lock, the upstairs toilet flushes warm water probably why we ran out of water on the Saturday. There was no toilet paper provided and no towels in bathrooms just the ones in bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped however pans and plates were dirty and needed washing before use there was no dish cloths or t-towels. The back patio doors were very difficult to lock needing a slight lift to get it into the frame. The back garden is poor to look at has not been weeded and looks a mess, the next door property is in poor state which you can see and rats were seen overnight in garden. The steps at front of house are steep and feel this should be noted in case guests have disability, steps need replacing as all cracked. The overall cleanliness was not great itâs such a shame as property had a lot of potential due to location and size but finish is poor, eg radiators on wonky, toilet seats donât sit right. Despite this we had a good time due to company.
