We stayed at the birds nest for mine and my partners anniversary, it was the most beautiful little flat, super cosy and close to the heart of Whitby! Dale was super helpful and gave lots of information and recommendations, would definitely stay again 🩷x

No parking space available as suggested in the description, as the space was occupied by another car our entire stay. Customer service was not helpful with this issue and we had to find alternative parking away from the accommodation. Slight stains on the bed sheets and a bad smell upon arrival. Overall not worth the price they charge, would suggest finding alternative accommodation.

Had a lovely time in Whitby. Location is close to the harbour and having somewhere to park was a bonus. Plenty of room for a small car. Accommodation was comfortable and cosy. Lots of windows with light paper blinds so it was difficult to sleep late in the morning. But the seagulls woke us up anyway!!! Would definitely recommend.

Location was ideal . 10 minute walk from the centre of Whitby and the restaurant we had booked . Quiet location/roads . Nice view from the window . Room was generally very clean and tidy . Modern decor . Although we didn’t use any as we only stayed one night , kitchen facilities all looked spot on . Instant coffees / tea and milk was a nice touch . Would stay again :)

Nothing Major , big shower head had a crack in the centre so didn’t work properly. Bathroom was a bit tight for space but that was expected and manageable. I noticed there was a few suspicious looking stains on the Sofa however I didn’t take a close look . Overall a very nice apartment .

The apartment was compact, and there were plenty of kitchen utensils and equipment

The bedroom has very low eaves, which caused you to bang your head constantly. There is not enough storage space to keep clothes. Would advise an additional wardrobe. Also, may a coat rack be added in the hallway. Their are two flights of steps leading up to the flat, I wouldn't recommend this for elderly people.

Good location and nicely decorated. Bed was comfy.

Bathroom very small but adequate for a couple of nights stay. Unfortunately there was a really bad smell when we entered the apartment. It was like bad drains. I think a plumber needs to investigate where the smell originates. Like a sewerage smell and was overpowering so we didn’t want to spend too much time in the room. It’s a nice apartment but this really needs addressing.
Kitchen area was good and well equipped. Parking space too small for our car so parked by the bins.

The location was good. Heating worked well. Nice decor/ carpets. Interesting layout uses the available space well… but mind your head. Lots of cooking/ dinning stuff provided. Included tea coffee and sugar plus salt. Wine fridge as well but did not seem to work. Internet worked well. Shower was very good.

Unfortunate aroma in the toilet/ bathroom. We had to buy air freshener. The toilet seat was misaligned at 1st but I managed to nudge it position. It was good to have a parking space but it’s very small and tight. My car was blocked in for at least 24 hours by a car not parked in an allocated space. The heating boiler also boomed at times which was a little disconcerting. The oven trays and grille were a little yucky but then there was no way of cleaning them other than regular washing up liquid and dish cloth.

The property was clearly once a great but small apartment, located a 5/10min walk from the centre of Whitby, parking is included but there is a height restriction my discovery and roof tent only just got in.

The advert is simply not accurate and this isn’t really acceptable, it’s not clear there is an additional £20 insurance, there isn’t a coffee machine, hairdryer, drying rail or any toiletries not even soap to wash your hands.

On the whole the location was great, being so close to the centre plus other attractions. Walking distance. The parking is really tough, it should say in description that for a small car only. The signage and door number could do with updating to make more clear. The apartment did smell a little on arrival of stagnant water, we bleached every day and it did stay away. Not sure what they could have done as we did notice every street in Whitby had drains that were blocked. Very limited cutlery, only a bread knife to chop,cut things. We did enjoy it and were able to cope with what they had. Just missed little touches like cleaning the velux windows, moping the floor, crumbs all over the sofa, stained mugs. Just felt like it could do with a deep clean and some fresh mugs etc. Good location which helped as once I had managed to park the car I didn’t fancy moving it again. We were lucky that the parking space next to ours had a small car and was understanding.

Good location and comfortable.

Difficult to find the property. The address we were given on the booking confirmation/directions was number 8 but the property was actually number 6. The sign for the property was very hidden. The 2 apartment doors were not numbered so we had to try both doors.

Poor kitchen utensils, everything to thrown into a draw and not organised. Cups and plates were dirty. Only saucepans, no frying pan which is quite a common item needed for breakfast. No washing up liquid provided, which would explain why the things in the cupboard were dirty.

Die Wohnung ist klein und eigentlich für 2 Personen zum Wohlfühlen geeignet. Leider war die Wohnung sehr schmutzig. Die Oberflächen waren schmierig, auf dem Boden waren Haare, das Sofa krümelig. In den Schränken waren die Ablagen unsauber. Die Lampen eingestaubt. Auf die Reklamation wurde verspätet reagiert. Eine sorgfältige Grundreinigung wäre notwendig.
Die Lage ist sehr gut und Whitby hat viel zu bieten.
Für die Kaution, die zwingend zu entrichten ist, müssen noch 10 Pfund Bearbeitungsgebühr bezahlt werden. Das hat uns auch gestört.

The parking situation was terrible! The bay is more like half a bay and would only accommodate the smallest of cars. I had to move three giant industrial wheeley bins, just to be able to get out! As well as this, I was sent three separate addresses for the property. This was confusing.

Very very disappointing, I am confused by all the positive reviews.
Pros:
- good location & easy to check in
- had potential to be a nice space if it was clean
Cons:
- smelt awful when we arrived
- unclean, dust everywhere, foil left in the oven, food all over the floor
- hairdryer set on fire, not only did the host not seem to care about this as an electrical hazard, but they did not replace it even though we asked multiple times. They actually said they had replaced it at one point but they hadn’t
- communication was very slow, when reporting incident with hairdryer and reporting cleaning issues, it took a long time to get any response
- towels had holes in them
- fees unclear up front, added on an additional £25 or the option of transferring them £250 (?!) as an insurance fee, with an admin fee to get it back, makes the property appear good value but it’s not in reality
- bed is under eaves which are very low for anyone who isn’t very short
Would absolutely not recommend

The place was lovely and located in the perfect spot. However, some basic essentials were missing from the property. We only had 1 bread knife to use for any food prep which wasn’t ideal, also no oven gloves so had to use the tea towel to get things out the oven. Also the hairdryer was broken and completely unusable. Apart from this everything was great!

Great location and easy to find. Parking space is a little bit tight however it's manageable. Check in was quick and easy. Cleaning in the Kitchen area, such as in the draws and cupboards could have been ever so slightly better as well as the Bathroom however it did not spoil our stay at all. We will absolutely stay at the Bird's Nest again. Thank you!

The quaint feel of the attic space apartment was perfect for us. It felt cosy and was perfect for a couple. The walk into Whitby was quick and easy, with many amenities on the doorstep. The guidebook helped with some suggestions of places to visit and we enjoyed two wonderful meals: Abbey Harbour and Moon and Sixpence, as well as delicious cocktails at Cafe Montmarte. All in all, a wonderful break, where we would be happy to stay again.

For some people, the sloped ceiling might be a problem but it was all part of the fun of an attic studio stay for us.

Despite regular contract prior to arrival. When we arrived the keys were not in the key box.

Never saw it.

Parking, warm, clean, v comfy bed, light and airy modern decor.
Yes a few scuffs on the entrance hallway and some dogs have obviously had a small nibble on the skirting boards but that’s bound to happen with some dogs
This shouldn’t detract from the positive comments oh also great shower. A wine cooler!
Thank you for the stay.

A light modern apartment in a good location. Has parking, though quite a tight space.

The cleanliness wasn't best and on arrival in mid October needing heating, found the heating thermostat batteries flat. Host & Stay did however organise a re-clean and fresh batteries sorted the heating, so once this was in place we had a pleasant stay.

Alissa

great location.

shower was good despite being a tiny shower room.

not obvious which was our parking space and when finally discovered it was a tiny space which you shoehorn yourself into. we phoned Host & stay and they were unhelpful.

the insurance payment ON TOP of the booking!! NEVER EVER had this with any booking! took 2 weeks to get my £250 back. upon arrival, saw dirty marks on the carpet, scuffs on the wall so felt I had to cover myself and video the place, evidencing it was not caused by us. really takes the edge off a trip but this is how this booking made us feel!

2 children in the property below clearly playing football 1st thing in the morning and waking us up!

cups were disgusting and heavily stained! frying pan looked like it had been put back in the draw after use likewise some of the cutlery.

no blackout blinds and really bright.

this could have been a great little stay without all
of the above, the insurance being the biggest issue leading to the fact we will never return to this place.

I never like to leave a bad review and if the above issues were fixed, I would actually recommend, so I hope the feedback is taken is received to not have future guest feeling like we did on what should have been a much needed, quick, relaxing getaway.

Lovely little flat, perfect for 2 people for a couple of days. Location was a bit difficult to find initially due to it sitting just after a blind corner (if coming from one direction) and not showing accurately on the car maps. Parking space is very tight!!
Shower was lovely, powerful and clean. Two different head types to allow for showers without getting hair wet.
No washing up items left so had to buy our own. 2 dishwasher tablets were left for us but there wasn't a dishwasher so these weren't usable.
For note - the hairdryer is low power so if you have long/thick hair consider bringing your own. No full length mirror.
Location was central, making it super easy to walk everywhere, and a lovely view of the fields on one side and the river Esk on the other.
Would 100% stay again.

Close to the town, had a parking space, had everything we needed in the flat.

Bed was really uncomfortable, room was dusty, windows didn’t block any sound and two had no coverings so it was really bright from early in the morning. It looked nice from a distance. Whitby has boy racers that travel a circuit until approx 1am, blowing out their exhausts so we got little sleep.

Not as advertised: there was no dishwasher as I had expected as I deliberately choose this property because of that.
There is nowhere to hang our out door coats or wet clothes as the radiator hanger is quite small.
This also means there is no where to hang your towel after a shower. ( which was lovely and fluffy!)
The on site parking is great, but the space is very small.

It was modern, clean and had everything you could possibly need and was a better option than a hotel room. On-site parking was also a huge bonus as parking on the street appeared to be a bit of a lottery.

The only real negative was in regards to the bed and it’s position within the room. Due to the roof being at the top of the building the bedroom area has sloped ceilings which meant movement around the end of the bed was restricted and required the person on the right hand side to almost limbo through the gap. It wasn’t too much of a problem for the two nights we where there but we certainly couldn’t live with it if it was longer.

The bed was very comfortable. Nice and quiet. Good walking distance for Whitby. The shower was good.. Nice and warm with heating, we could adjus. Tv good

Sofa was uncomfortable if you sat for a while. Also, tall stools were not comfortable at all. No coat hooks for hanging coats. Parking space is very small. Luckily, no one was in the space next to us, or we wouldn't be able to get in or out. Also, having to pay a security deposit of £250 for just 2 days stay.. Then, you have to wait nearly 2 weeks before you are refunded. Never had this with other holiday companies .

This was a beautiful apartment and I would absolutely love to stay again! I've even suggested this place to stay to a friend who is looking to stay in Whitby in the next few months. There were plenty of pots and pans for cooking, the shower room was small but it was still absolutely perfect and we absolutely love the open plan space!! We took our pooch with us and there was more than enough space for him and us! Personally, I'm rather picky with pillows, but for the first time in a long time i slept so well and was so comfy! 10/10 for location and the car parking spot was a bonus too! I would recommend to anyone!

There is nothing not to like about this beautiful place! The only one small thing which I would have loved to see was maybe some hooks to hang coats? Due to the time of year we had long winter coats with us which we struggled to hang in the wardrobe. So maybe just one small suggestion to maybe place some hooks in the porch area.

Location and clean.

Headroom to get in and out of bed was rediculous, my wife had to walk around the bottom of the bed and banged her head and back a couple of times on the roof slope. The slope stopped me getting to the other side. Ok for 1 night but not good for longer for the price. Thought it was good using a local business but think we will stick to hotels. Especially as you are charged either a damage insurance of £25 for your stay or leave your card details as cover instead but still charged £10 even if all ok. Travelled a lot and never charged extra at any hotel I've ever stayed. I would not recommend this or host and stay if that's their standard approach.

The property was comfortable, well equipped and in a great location from which to explore Whitby.

The Birds Nest is well located and finished to a high standard. Having a parking space was a bonus although it was a very tight space. The accommodation was also very cramped and although well equipped, the kitchen was a little awkward to use and I wouldn't have wanted to tackle much more than tea and toast. The intrusive eaves in the bedroom also became a bit tedious after a couple of days. It was a nice place to stay for a night or two but for the price paid I expected more.

A lovely little flat in a good location. Parking was a bit tight as it's in a corner, but we were able to park behind the space itself with no issues whilst we were there. The flat is a bit smaller than appears in the pictures, but there was enough space for the two of us comfortably. We found a couple of issues with cleanliness (despite the £50 cleaning charge), and it's a shame there are no recycling facilities (only a rubbish bin), however, we were overall pleased with our stay and would consider using the company again for future bookings in Whitby or elsewhere. The flat has been tastefully furnished and decorated, and looking at other listings this seems to be common amongst the host's properties.

Clean and fresh. Staff very efficient even when problem arose and was quickly sorted.
Tea,coffee,sugar and milk waiting for us on arrival.

Nothing..all as said it would be.

There were a few things that weren't working properly at the apartment which we have reported so hopefully they will be fixed for future guests. The apartment had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. It was handy to have a car space. There was everything you needed to make meals and a good size refrigerator. The apartment was very quiet. The location is very hand to all the Whitby stores, restaurants and the abbey. We were there during winter so Whitby was relatively quiet. The apartment was heated very well. Check in and out is very easy.

Great location next to Marina, short walk into Whitby town centre. Dog friendly.

Arrived in the dark, took a second attempt to find Hogarths Yard, easy in the light for sure!!

Very well equipped cosy apartment, excellent location just outside the centre, with the added bonus of a parking space, we will definitely be back

Was just missing some coat hooks which could easily be installed in the inner hallway.

The place was lovely, location was perfect, and the apartment had all the home from home amenities. However the price was really steep, and for what we paid we were really disappointed when we got there to find out the cleaning had not been done properly, there was blood on the sheet, used foil on the baking trays, crumbs on the floor, and the hoover and cleaning equipment had been rammed in the wardrobe making it useless for hanging clothes! When I contacted the owners regarding the cleaning, I was asked if I wanted a reclean I said yes but it never happened. However it was a peaceful location and had lovely views over the harbour.

Lovely little bolt hole. Everything you need. As compact as the birds nest is it’s very well thought out and accommodated 2 adults and 2 dogs. Clean and well situated for a walk into Whitby.

We had a lovely stay at the bird’s nest apart from appliances not working such as heating & the washing machine which was unfortunate given the price we paid for a 5 night stay - however these were quickly fixed when we messaged the team. The flat is great in terms of the river harbour view / location - a short 10 minutes walk into Whitby. Check in was easy and parking was included.

Well situated, beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean studio. Just be aware that the bed is in the eaves and it is difficult to get in and out on one side of the bed. Also parking is not marked Flat 2 - marked BN (quite small space).
