Very comforable flat in a great location.. The only drawback was the poor condition of the windows in the main room and bedroom. The single glazed sash windows were rotting and flimsy meaning outside noise was intrusive. Perhaps repairs and / or secondary glazing would help. Lastly, just a suggustion to replace the washing machine with a dishwasher. That said, the bed was extremely comfortable, the kitcen was well equipped and the bath / shower very good. Whitby is one of our favourite destinations and you could not do better with this flat for location.

‘What a View’ is a wonderful apartment in a perfect location with fabulous view.. It was ‘dressed’ for Christmas, which was tastefully done without being overboard. The apartment was bright and clean and as always very well equipped. A great addition was WiFi and a TV in the bedroom. The only issue were the grubby cups & glasses and a used wet bath towel we found hung on the back of the bathroom door. Things that shouldn’t really have been missed by the cleaners and let the owner’s property down. Getting in through the building entrance door was tricky as the key was old and the bolt was a poor fit in the lock, however we managed it. Unfortunately, the following evening upon leaving the building and locking the door as required, our key broke in the lock, effectively locking us (and anyone else who had already left) out of the building. We immediately contacted Sykes Cottages and explained our predicament. I have nothing but praise about how we were treated. Staff were empathetic and efficient in trying to resolve the problem; contacting the owner and even looking into booking us a hotel for the night. They kept in contact, checking in on our well-being and progress. With such excellent customer service, we will continue to use Sykes. In the end after managing to gain entry, we took the lock off the door; a locksmith arrived the next morning, refit the old lock and provided us with his spare key for the building and we continued with our holiday.

The apartment is in a fantastic location and very comfortable and homely.. The view is lovely over looking the harbour and the whole holiday from booking and entering the apartment was very easy.

We had a lovely holiday in Whitby.. The apartment was excellent. Everything was of the highest quality. We would love to return in the summer.

Mrs Lee, November 2019

The appartment was fantastic, great location for everything, brilliant view, definately return..

Mr Mccafferty, November 2019

October 2019

The only comment I would make has nothing to do the the accommodation, which was fantastic as always.. Sadly during or visit they were doing some work further up the road and the car park opposite the apartment was being used as a store for there equipment, this included a 2 floor temporary building which faced the apartment's bedroom window. Not only that but there generator they had on site seemed to randomly come on for at an hour around 2am.

Mrs Sherringham, October 2019

Have been here ofter before.. I love or. Very convenient.

Mrs Maclean, October 2019

July 2019

A beautiful comfortable apartment, fabulous location and view of the harbour.. Ideal whatever the weather.

Mrs Berry, July 2019

Great location, and the water was hot (the hot water.. or not hot water, was a problem on our last Sykes cottage. The bath side handle is getting loose and needs tightening. One downside was that the kitchen really needs a good clean. Some of the pots and pans had remnents of a previous guest's breakfast or dinner, and I bet they are still there. I know the guests should clean the pans they use, but obviously some do not and you need to check. We could have cleaned them, but hey we don't pay to go on holiday and clean other people's pans. Apart from that, good.

Mr Payne

The what a view Queyside really lives up to it’s Title.. The location is top drawer and Whitby is fast becoming our favourite location for the two of us. The only thing is it was difficult to find a fish and chip shop!! We will definitely return to the apartment. (WiFi would be a bonus).

Mr Corner

Lovely apartment for two people exactly where you need to be located for the pubs and restaurants

Mrs Bower

Great little apartment.. Lovely and clean and short of nothing. Location ideal for us with lovely views of the river

Mrs Dixon

Booked this on the same day we went.. Great helpful staff who contacted owners and rang me back within ten minutes. Received emails for directions etc within minutes, couldn't ask for more. The apartment had everything you needed iron, hairdryer and lovely fluffy towels. Comfortable bed and cozy living area, great views and minutes walk to everything. Newly painted and fresh. Contact from owner great very helpful and friendly. Looking forward to go back and will recommend without doubt.

Another great stay at this apartment.. Very clean and wel appointed. Again only wifi lacking to make it perfect.

Arrived for a week at Christmas to a cold apartment no heating on, no welcome pack and nothing like Christmas not even a small tree. Very small and badly equipped kitchen with only an under counter fridge and ice box. Not a fridge/freezer as advertised so a lot of the frozen food we came prepared with had to be thrown away. No tin foil, no cling film no nothing inadequate kitchen utensils no roasting tins no microwave cookware absolutely disgraceful. One paper thin black bin bag left in smelly and filthy dirty kitchen bin and half a toilet roll left in bathroom. Very little storage room and one of the kitchen cupboards was full of paint cans. Extremely uncomfortable and well past it’s sell by date small two seater sofa only. The owners also tried to charge us £45.00 because two small tiles had fell off the kitchen wall but did not break. Tile adhesive was inadequate we just left the two tiles on the kitchen windowsill. There was also an issue with the shower over the bath the owner alleged we had caused a leak into the downstairs flat. We only had a shower. These are not holiday makers problems especially at Christmas time they are are owners own maintenance issues. Please beware of booking What a View Quayside Apartment at 51 Church Street Whitby. They can’t continue just relying on a harbour view alone. So Mr & Mrs Scrooge get your holiday home in order and do not try and charge holiday makers £45.00 for your own maintenance issues your a disgrace.

Small Cons - our only gripe was that although all the rooms were spotless, the glasses and cups in the cupboard were grubby and had to be washed before use.. We also felt the oven should be ‘refreshed’ before each rental. Although none of these spoiled our stay, they were small fixes that should have been rectified prior to our arrival. BIG Pluses - Communications with Sykes and the owners were spot on. The apartment was lovely, bright and in a perfect position for a short stroll to all that Whitby has to offer. It had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, games, books etc. It was was warm and welcoming and the views (hence the name) were awesome. We could happily have watched the comings and goings, on the river Esk rather than watch TV and the free entertainment of ‘hunt the carpark space’ :-) We will definitely be returning.

November 2018

My third stay at this apartment.. All it lacks is wifi to make it perfect. I will be returning.

Mrs Lifton

October 2018

Fabulous accommodation in perfect location for the town.. Cosy and comfortable, with great facilities. Great communication from the owner regarding parking and getting around. Can't fault anything.

Fantastic apartment.. My second visit. I will be back again. Thank you

Mr Jackson

September 2018

It is a very nice apartment, simple but adequate.. It is in a very good position, close to town centre and overlooking harbour. Only negative is the parking. Car park is right opposite, but is quite small. Expensive at £9 a day (£8 if you buy a permit at the tourist office). WIFI would be a good addition to the facilities.

Everything was great, Just one thing, parking was very expensive and i found out at the end that you can get a parking permit from torist information centre which would have been of interest if we had known at the begining of the holiday

This is our second holiday in What A View .. It is a very good apartment with the best view of Whitby and the harbour.The only slight problem we had was the toilet seat which slipped to the side when you sat down. A little unnerving.It can easily be fixed if you have the tool to do so. I am sure we will be back again some time.

Mr Sleeman

April 2018

The apartment was ideally located with a view of the harbour and had all the facilities needed.. The only minor problem was a lack of parking space which to be fair was a general problem in WHITBY.

Mr Vickers

We had a truly great week! The location was superb, only a few minutes walk to the town with a number of cafes on the way. The view was stunning! we had an uninterrupted view of the harbour, swing bridge and town. The accommodation was very clean, well furnished, well equipped kitchen and we loved the shutters on the windows. I all, we will definitely be going back to Quayside when we next go back to Whitby. On the downside, the mattress really does need changing as it has lost its stability. There is quite a bit of noise from outside with people walking past and the road noise. Also, we decided to pay the £9/24 hours in the car park opposite all week. As the week was quite, we never had a problem parking but during the weekend, this gets much more popular and spaces are at a premium.

This is a fantastic apartment, it had all that we needed for our holiday. It's charming and the view across the harbour is wonderful. It's the sort of place I would want to go back to time and time again. Also, being on the quieter side of the harbour means less hustle and bustle, but you can still see out and watch everything going on. Great - we loved it!

Mrs James

Perfect location, really handy for restaurants and shops. Beautiful apartment for 2.

Whitby is a magical place for a holiday - in our case, honeymoon - and what a view! Quayside Apartment was a haven, a lovely place to stay. The view from the apartment is superb, as is its situation to the heart of Whitby. A great place to stay.

Mrs Summers

The stunning view was even better than expected and the location was perfect for a winter break as you could walk everywhere and didn't need the car once parked. We loved the flat and were so cosy and warm. The sun shone across the harbour in the late afternoon straight opposite the flat - we didn't want to leave!
