This pretty little house is small, but the high ceilings and big windows make it feel larger. Well placed in the centre of Whitby though the steps and stairs are steep so you need to be fit. Recently redecorated in attractive colours, and spotlessly clean, it is let down by the terrible smell of damp and mould in the kitchen. After half an hour over breakfast the first morning my eyes were burning with it. We had to eat all our meals out - could not eat in there. Its a shame as they've obviously made an effort to make the place attractive, with nice bedlinen and a very good shower. But unless they sort out this mould problem, nothing else matters.

We recently spent a week here and I could not fault elements of the property. In contrast to the earlier review we had no issues with the kitchen or any odour, damp etc. The wee house is very well fitted with everything at a hand one could require either for cleaning purposes or in cooking. We were fortunate in that the weather was excellent so lots of using the minute courtyard which provided a tranquil spot albeit the courtyard is not in any way alluring. So all in, the downstairs and first bedroom landing, all worked very well, very clean and comfortable. The second top bedroom really doesn't work, it is very confined, attracts a lot of heat given the attic location and sure you can open the windows but are deafened by the seagulls, so as a bedroom, certainly over summer it doesn't work that well. I anticipate perhaps over autumn/winter it would provide a better fit. However our experience was overwhelmingly positive and once you become accustomed to the vagaries of the parking West End cottage provides the base for exploring the excellent costal paths and beach walks. If you are visiting during the summer take a wetsuit to make full use of the coastal location !

Faeces / blood / urine stained mattresses. Black mould all around the bath in the bathroom. Leaks in the ceiling and attic room - Wet patches on walls. No bannister on sheer drop from child’s bedroom In attic ( not legal). Blind doesn’t open in attic bedroom so it is dark in there during the day. Freezing cold and foul smelling in attic bedroom - Completely unsuitable for a child. Foul smell like wet dogs in the entire house. Absolutely filthy upholstery. Massive pile of fly infested bins outside the door to the property. Revolting courtyard and garden. Shower doesn’t work - impossible to regulate temperature and adjust angle/height. Fire doesn’t work. Sykes cottages completely non-responsive to issues raised. Avoid this place at all costs, as you can see from the small number of photos Tripadvisor allows (max 10), this place is NOTHING like the listing.
