Fabulous views, lovely garden. The house is in a great position, easy walk to Robin Hood's Bay, excellent facilities in the village (pub, shop, bakery) and on a regular half hourly bus route between Whitby and Scarborough (as a party of 6 with only one car, the bus was really useful). Great walks straight out of the door. The old railway line or Cinder Path runs along the coastal route as well as the Cleveland way so lots of options for circular routes. The house had all that we needed - in the absence of detailed reviews on the Sykes House page I had scoured reviews on other companies and some had said the facilities were lacking, but they weren't at all. The utility room with its stable door had a good washing machine (that played a little tune when it finished), dishwasher and tumble drier, there was a washing line, pegs, ironing board and iron, two vacuum cleaners (one wasn't working but one of my sons fixed it and emptied it so now there are two). Lots of fridge and freezer space, cafetierres and teapots, lovely range cooker, big dining table for dining and games, good telly for watching Wimbledon on, cute summer house in the garden that was very popular with our party. We couldn't work out the recycling and I asked Sykes and they said only one bin, so were saving things and taking them with us looking for recycling centres. Towards the end of our week we found a note under a chopping board saying that the bin contents will all go to be sorted at a recycling centre so it's a shame we didn't see that sign earlier. If you are reading this you will know you can put everything in the bin with a clear conscience. The only thing missing was oven gloves (I have left the ones I brought at the cottage for the next people) and a door mat front and back would have been really useful as we had showery weather. Also maybe a shoe rack and a couple of extra coat hooks for a house that sleeps 10. There's a nice sage patch in the garden if you want herbs for your dinner - it's near the washing line.

The house was in a beautiful situation with good walks in all directions, we hardly used the car. There was a delightful garden and view from the back of house. A well equipped kitchen and scullery with good washing and washing up machines. The bedrooms were mainly comfortable but throughout the house many of the windows were painted shut with broken sashes which made it rather stuffy on hot days.The window was cracked in the top double room. The sitting room was full of dog hairs and rather dusty.
