  Just a mini break from the kids.

  A small basement appartment in walking distance of 2 beautiful fishing villages sounded perfect. On arrival we were greeted by a picnic basket containing fresh baked Soda bread and fruit scones with home made jam and fresh picked flowers from the garden in every room. What a warm and thoughtful welcome. The apartment is small and neat and extremely cosy. I wanted to bring the big brass bed home with me. The most comfortable sleep Ive had in ages. The kitchen is well equipped for all your needs and everything is beautifully maintained. Lunch and breakfast in the garden at the rear of the building where there is a picnic table. Lovely neighbours who are happy to share their knowledge of the area. Neither my husband or I drive so been on the main bus route for this part of the North Yorkshire coast was a god send. Trips to Staithes Harbour, Runswick Bay and Whitby were all achieved via the regular half hourly X4 bus. The village is lovely with lots of history, very friendly locals and a small shop and coffee shop in walking distance. Woodland walks with a babbling stream make this destination very picturesque if you appreciate the simple things in life. If you want a cosy romantic weekend break for two I can't recommend The apartment at Mulgrave House enough. There are other self contained appartments for let in the main house above so if you have an extended family but like your privacy, then Mulgrave House would be perfect as a multi booking. I highly recommend it.

  The cottage, in itself, was everything we expected.

  Very comfortable and ideally situated. We had a few problems with parking - which would have been handy if explained beforehand. Your information seemed to indicate that we could park opposite the sweet shop - which we did, there being no other place to park. As Staithes was extremely busy, we failed to notice that this extension of the 40 mins parking zone was actually a loading only bay. The signage on the road was very faint and the sign further down on the wall minute. Consequently we managed to get landed with a parking fine. We were advised by the parking attendant that a parking disc should be available in our cottage to enable us to park as a 'virtual' resident in the public carpark up the hill. This was not so and we subsequently ended up in the visitor car park which was £10 per day - £70 on top of the holiday cost which we had previously also paid £30 to re-book for July, June not being available to us due to lockdown. It would have been helpful if parking information had been available to us prior to arriving in Staithes. We regularily book cottages through Sykes but feel a bit let down with this one and would welcome your comments.

  This was a lovely central based property in the heart of the village .

  Highly recommend pre booking parking as advertised. We did and this worked out very well as the council car park gets very busy at peak times . We did find the cottage a little difficult to find even with the instructions. Even the locals hadn’t heard of the passage the cottage is located in and there was no signpost? but after eventually finding it , we were very pleased with our choice of accommodation. The cottage is very quirky , clean and well equipped and everything we needed for a great stay . We would happily recommend this property to family and friends. Lots to do locally too . We found fossils , went sea fishing, cycled the cinder trail from Whitby to robin hoods bay , walked to runswick bay , and visited Saltburn on sea and sands end . We love this part of Yorkshire and never fails to deliver .

  This is a well positioned apartment with parking, a bonus in Whitby.

  Only 10 min walk to centre. Another car was parked in allocated space but was soon sorted as belonged to maintenance man. Property is very warm and extremely comfy bed. It was very clean. Very narrow view of estuary if sat in right place. Only one hand towel which used by 2 people over a week, with washing hair etc was not satisfactory. Toilet paper was the thinnest possible. Being on 3rd floor was not a problem even with a small dog as lift was always available. Notice in entrance hall states Fire alarm will be tested every Tuesday between 9.am and 11.am but this did not happen ?? The whole area of Whitehall Landing is very well maintained, walk along estuary block paved area well lit at night,good for taking dog a late walk. Plenty to do in Whitby for all tastes and abilities.

  Lovely little cottage in a beautiful village.

  It is a great location for the local shops/cafes and pubs, with plenty of lovely walks nearby. It was a little hard to find at first but a great, quiet location up a small alleyway. The local contact was very close by and really helpful and friendly. The cottage is very small but cosy and comfy; in fact the only thing missing was a couple of footstools to get your feet up after a day out. Three levels and two flights of stairs might not suit everyone, or the fact that you have to leave vehicles in the pay car park at the top of the village after unloading your luggage - we used the council one as it was cheaper despite what it says on the signpost to the private one! We took a weekday break in June for a much-needed short holiday and had a great relaxing time and hope to be back!
