Sunnyvale House Reviews

Tracey
We had several light fittings that needed new bulbs also done if the bedrooms ... We had several light fittings that needed new bulbs also done if the bedrooms would benefit from having a mirror for hair drying etc other than these minor issues Sunnyvale was very clean and comfortable ideally located for a stay on Whitby and to visit surrounding areas
Great stay, everything you need and fab to have the number of rooms and ensuites and good social spaces for large groups. House beautifully cleaned and smelt lovely, quality bedding and accessories. We didnt book hot tub as timings too restrictive but understand the need to consider neighbours and noise levels. Outside courtyard could do with a little TLC, other than that fabulous accommodation and stay, we would rebook
We had a great weekend celebrating with family and the house was perfect for that. Great location,, walking distance to most places in Whitby, comfortable and well equipped. Only things I would mention are the hot tub we were only advised that this would cost an additional 150 well after we booked. Also, there are no parking permits provided so this wasnt easy when there were at least 5 cars between us so we had to find and pay for parking all weekend.
Samantha
We had a fabulous weekend at Sunnyvale House. All the rooms very comfortable and clean. There was everything provided that we needed. There was 13 of us and plenty of room for us all to sit together.
In the accessibility statement it states resident parking permits are available this was important to us as we had someone with a disability in our group. However after discussion with the owner she blamed Sykes for giving us incorrect information,however in their accessibility statement at the property it does state they are available.As from 9am to 7 pm parking is restricted to three hours ,we had to keep moving our cars which is inconvenient.I think this is an issue people should be aware of.
Lovely house! We all really enjoyed our stay here, there was plenty of room for all of us. The fact that we all had our own bathrooms was a real bonus, its unusual to find a place this size with 6 bathrooms fab! The house was really close to everything, only a short 10 min walk down to the harbour no need for taxi'sbuses. Unfortunately we didn't get to use the hot tub as we were out the majority of the time, however this was all set up for us if we wanted to. One slight issue no mirror in one of the bedrooms! We managed though & the ladies used the mirror in our room next door! Definately recommend & we will be back!
Richard
Very nice place with plenty of room and facilities. Parking can be a bit of a problem but West Cliff car park is very near and easy to access.
Philip
Lovely property with an ideal size and location. The shared spaces are a great size for everyone to sit together and the kitchen had ample facilities for the number of guests. Having a bathroom per room was also really useful. A few snagging details have been brought up with the owner which we hope would be altered for the next time we looked to visit. Note that the property advertises parking, however this was not the case due to issues with the parking tickets for the property. There is a car park nearby for bout 9 a day or free on street parking around 10 minutes walk away if you can get a space.
