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.

The apartment is small and actually suitable for 2 people to feel comfortable. Unfortunately, the apartment was very dirty. The surfaces were greasy, there was hair on the floor, the sofa crumbly. In the cabinets, the shelves were unclean. The lamps dusted. The complaint was delayed. Careful basic cleaning would be necessary. The location is very good and Whitby has a lot to offer. The security deposit, which is mandatory, still needs to be paid 10 pounds of processing fee. That bothered us too.

Good location easy 5-10 min walk to shops and restaurants. Apartment very compact but had all you needed. Bedroom area has quite a low sloping roof. Nice and quiet.

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!

Great space to explore Whitby and fantastic bonus of a parking space albeit a tight squeeze we managed it in a small suv. Very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you very much.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, perfect size for 2 people. Ideal location only 5 minute walk from town centre. Very clean, tidy and well kept Noticed other reviews regarding finding the location. It is not hard at all, and parking space is only tight if you drive a bus.

Lovely quiet flat despite on a busy daytime route we heard nothing. Ideal walk into Whitby 10 mins. 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.

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.

Great place to stay with dogs too. Very tight parking space as mentioned. Make sure you receive booking instructions before you arrive as I had to argue with David about my Airbnb receipt.

Lovely flat within walking distance of Whitby old town. The parking was a bit tricky, but think that was more down to the other guests. Think the £50 cleaning charge was a bit steep but the flat was spotless. Overall though a nice place to stay.

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.

Great location within easy walking distance of the harbour, bars, restaurants and shops and even a view of the Abbey from the bedroom window! Everything you need for a short break away, would highly recommend for anyone wanting a stay in Whitby.

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.

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.

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).
