About Sunnyvale House

Sunnyvale House, a splendid seven-bedroom abode is nestled in the quaint seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire, offering the perfect retreat for families, friends and couples alike. Just a stone’s throw away from local amenities and within easy reach of the beach, as well as being close to the North York Moors National Park, this charming holiday home provides the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding countryside.

Step into the grandeur of your new home-from-home, ready to explore the spacious interiors over four floors. On the ground-floor, discover a fully-equipped kitchen, where the nominated chef of the group rustles up a delicious feast, making use of an impressive array of appliances.

Afterwards, enjoy a family feast around the dining table, before retreating to the sitting room for the evening. If you prefer to dine alfresco and soak up your surroundings a little while longer, meander through the inviting garden and delight in an evening tipple, watching as the stars appear overhead.

When sleep calls, seven bedrooms await, scattered across the first, second and third floors. Choose from five doubles, each boasting their own en-suites, or choose from an additional double or a twin, with its own en-suite shower room, perfect for winding down or getting ready for the day.

In the morning, take a trip to nearby Robin Hood's Bay, a delightful fishing village, with spectacular views and a pleasant stroll along the trail. Moving on, explore Scarborough, a bustling seaside resort with plenty of things to do along the South Bay, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre and Scarborough Castle, the latter of which stands proudly overlooking the North Bay.

Pickering is the perfect spot for a day trip out, with an array of independent shops, cafes and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, offering picturesque views as you ride across the moors. Further afield, Guisborough is a charming market town with a rich heritage, a beautiful Priory and plenty of walking trails.

Sunnyvale House Reviews

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.

The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 10 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 15 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 15 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 16 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 17 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 20 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
Castle Howard - YO60 7DA
about 27 Miles
Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park. There is also a large lake offering boat trips during the summer months. In high season the site is very popular with families and offers organised activities for children including tours, talks, crafting and animal encounters. The site also has a Nature Trail which is fun for the whole family and an Adventure Playground where children can run off some energy.
Yorkshire Lavender - YO60 6PB
about 29 Miles
Yorkshire Lavender is an amazing award winning attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of York, a Café, Plant Nursery and Lavender Gardens. The 60 acre site is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is an excellent choice for a day trip. The onsite shops sells Lavender products such as bath and body treats, skincare, medicine and herbal remedies.
