“We really enjoyed our stay at Sea Fret in Whitby.”

The house was clean, warm and very well equipped. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The only thing that may be an issue for some is the fact it is at the top of a very steep hill. We didn't mind and enjoyed the fact that the road was very quiet as it isn't a through road.

“Seafret was a lovely property.”

The owners have thought about everything that might be needed. Well maintained. I loved that they had listed where bedding and fixtures and fittings were from which was great as I have looked some of these up and bought for my own home. A welcome pack had been left which shows that they care about people who are visiting the house. On a personal note and due to my health needs a foot stool would be useful.

“Ideal for our little break in Whitby - everything we needed, comfy beds and close to harbour - got out of puff coming back up every day but I'm sure that was good exercise!”

“We loved our stay in Sea Fret.”

The house is really well thought out with all the features you could possibly need. Added bonus was lots of toys for our 1 year old to play with and all of the baby/toddler necessities for any stay - something which is often not included so thank you for that. Really powerful shower, comfy sofas and very soft beds. Lovely, quiet location at the top of a rather large hill. Our only issues were with parking as spaces are limited but we mostly stayed close to Whitby and walked for the majority of our stay but may be inconvenient for anyone staying with mobility issues.

“Whilst Sykes Cottages couldn’t have been more proactive and helpful when I had some concerns over the safety of the electrics, sending out an electrician to rectify the issues, when I had a less important issue with the bedroom TV not working due to a broken remote control, I phoned the owner and received a curt response telling me that she would let maintenance know, then hanging up on me.”

She sent a text the following morning apologising for being abrupt but I called Sykes and they sent back the electrician. He said the remote was broken and bought a replacement. This worked for the TV but not the DVD which he thinks may be broken or jammed. This was the only DVD player in the house so we could not make use of the plentiful DVDs. Sykes said they would try to sort something before the end of our stay but we didn’t hear anything further. The house was not as clean as cottages I have stayed in previously and had quite a ‘doggy’ smell downstairs which I burned candles to try and clear. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was adequately equipped. The route to the town and beach was down a steep road which was fine for us but could be difficult for less able people and parking was very limited so it meant parking in other streets some of the time. We would not return to Sea Fret and think it may be better suited to people with dogs and small children as it had a travel cot, high chair and child gate.

8 Grove Street, a charming three-storey property boasting lots of character is set in the picturesque seaside town of Whitby.

The spacious property enjoys a generous living space with three large bedrooms making it an ideal getaway for friends or a family of 6 with a pet in a beautiful area of North Yorkshire.

Enter through the front yard into the property’s large hallway, and head into the lounge, where you are welcomed by the warmth of the electric fire, ideal for those colder evenings.

Cosy up with your loved one to watch a movie on the Smart TV or enjoy a games night with family.

The open-plan living space makes this a great property for socialising with family or friends around the dining table while still being able to enjoy the comfort of the sofas in the sitting room.

Prepare a meal in the beautifully-styled, high-gloss kitchen with all the appliances and amenities you could wish for during your stay.

Upstairs you will find two spacious double bedrooms, both with plenty of storage space and large windows letting in lots of light.

The family bathroom benefits from having a separate WC so you can have a relaxing soak in the bath after a busy day without being disturbed or opt for a quick rinse in the shower above.

Navigate the steep stairs to the top floor where you’ll find the third bedroom, another spacious room featuring twin beds.

Heading outside to the rear of the property is an enclosed yard where you can enjoy alfresco dining on warmer summer evenings.

From 8 Grove Street, head downhill towards Whitby town centre which is full of amenities, all of which are within easy reach of the property, including a selection of pubs, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, convenience stores and takeaways.

There are many popular attractions and day out opportunities from your doorstep, the 199 Steps, which offers wonderful coastal views from the top and the ruins of Whitby Abbey.

Enjoy the history of the Gothic Abbey and see where Bram Stoker took his inspiration for Dracula.

Whitby Beach is the main attraction in the summer, with its striking and colourful beach huts lining the sand and two lighthouses stood at either side of the harbour, perfect for a day of laying on the sand or taking a dip in the sea, or just for a stroll along the coast.

Further afield, you can venture along the coast to find beaches, coastal resorts and plenty of things to do; Scarborough and Filey are south of Whitby, both known for their sandy beaches, with Scarborough Castle and Peasholm Park the must-visit attractions.

Head to Brampton Cliffs Nature Reserve or enjoy the white cliffs at Flamborough Head.

Enjoy a day trip in the North York Moors National Park, one of the largest expanses of moorland in the UK, where you can walk or cycle across a variety of terrain, from heather moorland to woodland and forest, and keep an eye out for birdlife that inhabits the area.

Dalby Forest is not to be missed, you can even enjoy live music concerts in this incredible setting.
