Parking isnât great but overall the flat is basic but suits the needs for a holiday. Could have been cleaner. But overall had a great stay here in Whitby.

Though whoever owns it, has gone out of their way to make the holiday property comfortable the damp issue is still there. Whoever is doing there cleaning needs to make a better effort. Body hair in the shower/bath plug hole and human hair in the fridge is unacceptable. Some bleach down the toilet would help between guests. Sykes have this listed as a 4* I question their vetting and scoring regime. Sorry guys need to try harder.

Too bad to sleep in smelled so bad. Bedding and towels musky and damp. Rugs and cushions smell.
