It was an absolutely lovely stay and we had a great time. Only thing was there was quite a few black hairs left in the bathroom behind the bin and on the sink which were easily removed. The place itself was stunning with a really nice view of the abbey and a perfect place to stay for a couple days.

generally very clean and very tidy, clutter free, clean bed linens and towels. Nice clear view of the abbey from the living room window. coffee machine and pods provided with milk sachets in the fridge, and dishwasher(incl tabs). looks like photos. lots of communication from host. only real let downs are the stairs (which tbf is expected due to it being called the loft, but theres 4 flights and no fire escape in case of emergency) and the fact that there are no blinds in the living room. wouldn't usually have been bothered but theres another buildings window facing directly opposite the window above the tv so felt lacking privacy a little.

A beautifully appointed apartment in a prime position overlooking Whitby Abbey. Absolutely loved my stay, wish I was staying longer. Would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of visiting the area. very central to the shops and restaurants too.

great location and looks just like the pictures. plenty of kitchen ware and cooking tools which was great. only downside was that it wasn’t the cleanest. i appreciate that it is dog friendly so stains on rugs etc are expected - however cabinets and bed side tables etc were very dusty.

Had a lovely 2 night stay here! The host was very responsive for any questions we had and instructions were clear and helpful. Location was spot on, close to most things all around 10 minute walk! Car park was round the corner and around £10 for 24 hours. The apartment itself was very spacious and would definitely visit again!

Beautiful property with lovely fixtures and fittings however considering you pay a large cleaning fee the cleanliness was very poor. The property also needs some attention as well flaking off wall. When it was first done it would be amazing, just needs more attention to detail.

Me and my wife stayed here for 3 nights, it was a loft apartment so quiet a few stairs but once inside the view was amazing. The apartment was clean and comfortable modern bathroom and kitchen. All in all a great few days away right in the heart of Whitby we will be back .

At a glance the property is well decorated, but does require a lot of maintenance which is a shame as they were really simple fixes. E.g. holes had been filled but not sanded and painted, painting peeling in main bedroom, broken furniture. I only express these as we paid for the damage cover on the property but felt like if we did make any damage it wouldn’t have been noticeable due to the amount of damage already. I think the property has a lot of potential and is in a perfect location with amazing view, but the overall price with the hidden fees was a little high especially in the low season

The loft was a wonderful place to stay. Skinner street was a great location with privacy but also plenty to do. The loft was really well equipped for a few days away and had beautiful views as was read in the description. The decor was stunning and was just up our street. The windows in the loft provided lovely ventilation. The loft is EXCELLENT value for money and I’d stay here again in a heart beat. The hosts should be extremely proud of this air B&B and we’d like to thank them for a lovely stay.

As the cleaning was sub standard I feel the charge for cleaning was over priced. There’s lots of accommodation in Whitby therefore a lot of competition so these standards should be top notch, the furniture & soft furnishings is the wrong choice for multi guests staying. The bedroom needs repainting & all the carpets need a deep clean/replaced. Sofa is stained, pouffe is stained, rug is stained, cushions are stained as is the carpet. It is however a beautiful apartment, just needs some TLC, however as along as guests are prepared to pay the price then I don’t imagine that there will be any significant changes made

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at The Loft. The views over Whitby are stunning, and the apartment is lovely - well equipped and decorated nicely. The host’s communication was fantastic, and they were responsive prior and during our stay. The location is spot on - so easy to access the town and beach, and is surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and pubs. I would have given 5 stars, however, the cleanliness of the apartment let it down. Upon check-in, this included: - Heavily stained carpet on the stairs and rug in the living room - The furniture and surfaces (TV stand, bedside tables, bathroom unit, toaster) haven’t been polished for a while, as they were covered a thick layer of dust - There was a large clump of hair in the shower grid - Kitchen cupboards were covered in greasy marks and water stains. All of this is so rectifiable, and would recommend this be looked into. I’d also suggest providing a hoover & putting a permanent light in the bathroom over the sensor one 😊

Lack of communication from Host & Stay resulted in us not even staying there. We didn’t receive any check in instructions, I had to chase them, waited for an hour then finally got the instructions. Got into the accommodation to find it was filthy and had not been cleaned since the last check out. I then had to call them again only to be left on hold, the call centre dealing with it did not seem to know what to do, said they’d call me back once a cleaner had been round, but that never happened. I tried to call back to find out what was going on but was left on hold again, wasted over 3 hours of my time trying to sort out their problem. In the end we had to book alternative accommodation, was not the start to our break away that we wanted and how Host and Stay dealt with the matter was very poor. Airbnb was very helpful with the refund. The ‘damage deposit’ taken directly from host and stay has taken much longer to refundand the fact they charged a £10 fee for the deposit is outrageous

Great place! Amazing views and great decor, everywhere is within walking distance. It is worth noting that getting up to the room requires several flights of stairs (which I personally didn’t find a problem with, but it’s not something I was aware of beforehand). Overall, highly recommend!

I know air bnbs are not there to provide all your provisions for a stay but two teabags for a three night stay was a little tight in my opinion. We were also only provided with two dishwasher tablets, I want expecting a whole box but one per day would have been welcomed. Also be aware an email a day before check out said check out time midday but on morning of check out were told it was 10.00hrs. You would think they would get this information correct, luckily we were up early enough that we were out for 10 but could have been charged extra if we hadn’t been. Nice view from the flat however, decor a little tired but clean enough and actually the sofa in the lounge is cleaned by properly as was still a little damp on check in. Fantastic location right in the heart of Whitby.

We stayed for a weekend in February. The location and view are amazing and the kitchen and bedroom are designed really nicely. Unfortunately, the TV had evidently factory reset and was logged out of Amazon so we couldn't use it. We reported it but found the customer service not very helpful. The light timer in the bathroom is annoyingly short if you want to have an evening shower. The flat lacked essential cooking items such as a colander and no cleaning products except the dish-washer, so we had to buy our own. Overall a great stay but a few improvements could have made it even better!

Danny

Great communication throughout our stay the loft certainly has the wow factor, spotlessly clean (apart from stain on carpet as we came in) and looked exactly like the photos, great location and really peaceful. Parking wasn't an issue for us and being able to pay via apps was a bonus we could just top up when we needed to. Agree with others about the bathroom light being on a sensor/timer was a pain it going off when in the shower at night but we worked around it. Overall loved our stay there and would highly recommend host and stay they where always on hand if we needed anything

Ellis

Lovely location, I’d agree with the other reviews that the bathroom light timer is a bit annoying! It goes off every two minutes and leaves you in the dark. Few stains on the carpets and scuffed walls. Same goes for broken toilet seat other people have reviewed, easy fix. Other than that, which I arrived already expecting, everything was great. One thing I’d say is beware of the complimentary parking scratchcards if they leave you them! They aren’t valid for the council pay and display car parks that the host also recommends (??) which cost me £100 in parking tickets - which wasn’t great!

The loft is beautiful, a great space in a reallt convenient location. The parking arrangements suited us well and the flexible check in was easy. The apartment is really tastefully decorated with amazing views. There were a couple of small issues like dusty surfaces, marked carpets and paint missing, which could be easily fixed. The apartment would be outstanding if these were resolved. The bathroom light is automatic and switches off after only a few seconds on non movement. It does not recognise movement while you're in the shower so we found ourselves showering in the dark or with the door open and bedroom light on. I did message the host twice but didn't receive a reply which was disappointing. I could have rang the number, but we left early each day and were on the beach with no signal until dark. Overall we were really happy, would stay again and would recommend to other people.

The Loft was exactly as described, ideally located for pubs & cafes and less than 10 minute walk to the harbour & sea front. Parking is the only slight challenge, hosts provide a parking permit but we found it easier to pay for the car park around the corner. In peak season this might not be so easy. Facilities in the apartment all good.

Ted

Apartment was lovely but do agree with some previous reviews, it could have been less dusty/lots of cobwebs, and whilst we did take our dog, there was evidence of another pet having been with black pet hairs on the furniture even though they ask for pets not be on furniture. Perfect location with a beautiful view of the abbey from the arched window, parking is available very close by, and would visit again happily, perfect place for a weekend away.

This is a lovely little apartment let down by Host and Stay. Firstly the unexpected damage waiver / deposit should be advertised or inc in the price on Airbnb Secondly the payment system failed to take payment and H&S didn’t provide any a check in details. A few hours before I was due to arrive with a baby. I had to call them. They wanted me to pay on my phone when I was driving. Had I not called in office hours I would have not been able to enter the property. Finally the nice little appt. Was filthy. The shower had hair in it and used shampoo sachets left from prev guests. Toothpaste marks all over the bathroom cabinet, food and spill on the floor, rug was full of dirt and stains. Dust everywhere, dirty marks on all walls. Like snot. The toilet seat had dried urine on it. We reported it and got told ‘we’ll let house keeping know’ then a message at end telling us to clean and tidy the appt before leaving! Would not recommend H&S

Lovely place to stay in a good location. Decorated really nicely but a little rough around the edges and there was food on the living room floor. Everywhere was visibly dusty. However I understand it must be a popular place to stay with Whitby being busy. Also bad communication about checking out time. Two bits of info say check out was 12pm but it was actually 10am. Overall I enjoyed my stay, just need a little attention to cleaning and accurate info

We had a lovely few days staying in The Loft, the navy blue bedroom is a very relaxing space and the living/room kitchen area is a lovely open space that's pleasant and airy. It has an amazing view over the rooftops and looking out over Whitby Abbey. Would 100% recommend for a couples stay with everything you need in walking distance of The Loft.

If you're looking for a unique stay in Whitby, I recommend this accommodation. The views of the abbey and ocean are undeniable and in my opinion what make this place stand out. The location was excellent, being situated not too far from the main high street, and close to some of the best breakfast places. The added parking pass was appreciated, though we had a hard time finding parking with the "W" zones. The shower was incredible too. As other reviews on here state though, it is the attention to cleanliness that could be improved. There was dust and cobwebs in the bedroom, peeling wallpaper, and the bathroom sink was clogged. I am used to staying in hostels so I am not picky when it comes to cleanliness, however when I am paying $460 CAD for 2 nights, this needs to be set at a high standard. The £25 deposit was also unexpected and unclear if that's being refunded. Overall, was happy to have stayed here for the views and location. But was disappointed at the lack of cleanliness.

Great location. Views were amazing over the Abbey and roof tops. Great property, but…… Stains on the carpet, not cleaned very well, maintained “ok,” had to buy a frying pan as none provided. Bathroom light is on a sensor, so if you showered in the morning, you did it in the dark. I would recommend, but it’s the attention to detail.

Really lovely property in the centre of things, the view was stunning and the kitchen had everything's we needed and was nice to cook in. We had a mix up with the parking pass and host and stay worked with us to sort it out in a quick and friendly way. One note, the ensuite is right on top of the bedroom, so if you're not completely comfortable with the person you're staying with hearing your bathroom activities then I'd take this into consideration. We'd absolutely stay here again.

The parking scratch card ticket was easy to use and very helpful. I would stay here again.

Great location. Quiet. Clean. Good communication. Parking tricky - permit provided for 'W' zones (this entitles overnight street parking and then up to 3hrs between 9am & 7pm. Ask for T&C's of insurance damage deposit prior to booking so you can read up. It takes 14 days after checkout before your money is refunded if you opt to pay the £250. (And there is a £10 admin fee which is non-refundable which all adds to the cost of the stay).

Really cracking little spot in a great location near central Whitby. Only a short walk to the harbour area. Some nice cafes for breakfast right at the door. The parking permits were a godsend with the heavily patrolled permit controlled street parking. Was quite a lot of steps up to The Loft so wouldn’t be ideal for with mobility issues. All of which was stated in the listing. Thanks for a lovely stay.

A very well designed apartment with a spectacular view over Whitby and of the Abbey. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. The navy walls in the bedroom were great for creating a cosy environment. One thing, however, was that the bathroom was at the end of the bed and the bathroom light was motion activated (which we couldn’t find anything to override!)… in the middle of the night, every night, multiple times the light would switch on, waking us up and making my partner paranoid that there were ghosts… the light also meant that when you were in the shower the light would switch off half way through as you are out of range of the motion sensor. The bathroom light really was the only problem we had! Location was great and views from the window are some of the best anywhere in Whitby.

The Loft is in a good location in Whitby near to the harbour and with wonderful views of the Abbey from the window. Parking nearby is difficult though even with the residents parking permit provided it isn't usually possible to get a space in the streets covered by the permit nearby. We found John Street was the best bet but sometimes had to pay to park in a pay and display car park, again not that close to the apartment. The only niggles we had were that there were no coat hangers provided to hang your clothes on the rail in the bedroom, there is nowhere to hang your towel when your showering and the movement activated bathroom light keeps going off while you're in the shower requiring you to keep opening the door to switch the light back on. Also there is nowhere to hang your wet coats.
