Guests say
Pannett Park View is a spacious Victorian cottage with high ceilings and ample room, located minutes from Whitby town. It offers a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a hot tub. While some guests noted maintenance issues, the property's size and location are well-regarded.
Guests reported cleanliness issues such as dirty pans and plates, and an overall lack of attention to cleanliness. However, one review mentioned the property was clean, indicating inconsistency.
The location is highly praised for being within walking distance of Whitby Harbour, the town centre, and opposite a park with a playground, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
The property offers comfortable beds and accommodates large groups well. However, issues with toilet seats, doors not shutting properly, and a non-functioning freezer affected the comfort level for some guests.
While the kitchen is well-equipped and the inclusion of a hot tub is appreciated, numerous maintenance issues such as faulty locks, plumbing problems, and unfinished renovations detract from the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners towards the guests, therefore a score cannot be provided.

The windowsills had either spiders eggs,bird poo ,bits or ivy growing in. The place was seedy and no one used the hot tub and goodness knows what germs were there,The outside decking was warped and only went out once as tripped and who would want to sit in a hot tub with 5 â weeds around them. It did say steep steps but no hand rail as next door so 3 of us really struggles.Also building work next door which should have been mentioned. Rained in in a bedroom.Asked cleaner to come back and they made out the key wasnât in box but we were there with a dog that barks if anyone outside. Actually unsafe as some windows bolted down and smoke alarms not working ,Someone did come but left a an alarm on a bed. Lights flickered.Dangerous and unsafe. Some things nice bedrooms and bathrooms or would have walked out immediately . Told issues in reviews fixed they werenât . We all left early as no response from Sykes.Have tried calling Sykes as wanted to leave immediately.They have not responded except to give me a tel no I had used that goes dead which I have rung 30 times . Will be taking this further and wonât use Sykes ever again.

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.
