Sadly my stay wasn't great. I think when the flat was new it must have been lovely but it's sadly run down, especially the entrance which sets your expectations low. The flat it was not clean- there was toothpaste and hair all over the sink, there was mud or food splattered up the kitchen sides, it was absolutely covered in dog hair and there were stains on the bed. Bar some bleach down the toilet I'm confident it wasn't cleaned. There was also a random screeching noise every couple of seconds in the bedroom which kept me awake. I tried to message the host but I got auto replies from the company and no help. I was unable to stay the second night due to cleanliness and noise. I requested a refund and was sent all over the show trying to speak to someone. I'm really thankful I booked through air BnB as they resolved this for me. I love Whitby and will visit again but I definitely won't be staying here, I will however use air BnB who were great.

My Partner and I stayed at The Abbey Hus from Monday till Friday. Upon arrival it was a straight forward check in, the stairs on the way up were very steep but was ok. The apartment was as described, beautiful abbey views. The bed was super comfy, and the shower was pleasant! We have a couple of small advisories/ feedback; The living room area has a beautiful bay window, I presume due to safety reasons you can’t open them, the room was very warm and could not get rid of food smell. It was stuffy in there the majority of our stay. Maybe provide a fan. The carpet in the bedroom was extremely dirty, we also noticed quite a lot of dust throughout the apartment, which is a shame as it is beautiful. We were provided with two sachets of coffee and tea ( we were there for 4 nights ), and a coffee machine with no provided pods. I don’t see the point in having the coffee machine if there’s no pods provided? Personally, the little personal touches make the stay far more enjoyable.

This was a fantastic place to stay in the heart of Whitby! Very comfortable flat with everything you’d need for a great stay. Communication was great and ease of access too. Keep in mind Whitby is very hilly and this flat is upstairs so make sure you’ve got something left in the tank when you walk back.

We had a lovely stay in Whitby. Pictures were accurate, amenities were good and the view of the abbey was fantastic. The apartment was clean, as others have mentioned, it could benefit from a few touch ups on the walls from where previous guests have not been very careful, but this doesn’t take away from your stay at all. The stairs up to the apartment are quite steep, so bear this in mind if this is something you consider. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely recommend for the view and location! Some amazing breakfast spots close by!

a great place to stay within walking distance of the harbour. A short walk along the road to the left to the beach perfect for the pooch.Found a car park within a 2 minute walking distance from the apartment so easy to unload. the apartment was cosy and warm with everything needed.

was a really nice place to stay but for the amount we payed it didn't feel very personal of a location, alot of the air bnb hosts tend to be very accommodating but all the messages were very auto and there was nothing in the room to greet us which didn't add any touch of personality. for the accident and damage amount you pay for insurance almost feels like a set up as I we was worried the whole time as the furniture wasnt the most sturdy, the sofa feels abit jenky me and my friend are are slim so I do worry anyone bigger then us may end up breaking a leg then may end up been charged for this?, also the bar stool was damaged on arrival and stains in the bedroom. very nice views and location amazing but wish it wasn't priced as high with the lack of personality? honestly though that's an easy fix it is a beautiful home

Overall Abby Haus was a great choice for a short stay away. The apartment is easy to access from a security perspective but is up steep steps so worth being aware. The condition of the flat isn’t exactly like the images with some staining on carpets, dirt under the sofa and in between the cushions and poor care on some hard fixings. But overall good. Easily walkable to lots of cafes and bars. Would recommend for future guests and also suggest a deep clean to the owners.

Some may ask why I chose to stay here again after my last visit in July. Well we had already pre booked so thought maybe they’ll have improved issues. They THANKFULLY have amended the carpet to flooring in the hall & fixed the main door locks. Props to that. BUT broken glass left under the sofa was extremely dangerous to crawling baby and dog. Also empty water bottle under bed… do you not have cleaners check these key things? Host&Stay correspondent Charlie as per usual very apologetic for all issues but feels very fake in communication and nothing is ever actually resolved. We pre booked when they had parking (which was a big factor in our choice of property having a dog and a baby) but they decided to get rid of this amenity … think given we had pre booked this should have been honoured. Bathroom time sensitive light is a nightmare for getting up and waking the baby! A lamp in the bedroom for less direct light would be ideal! Again why only 3 plates / forks? No glasses? Uh.

Host & Stay were super communicative and I felt really confident checking in that someone would be available should I need help. They were in touch at every step of the way and even provided some great recommendations for a birthday meal. A couple of things were missing that said would be provided (cooking oil, S+P) which was a shame. Unfortunately the time of year meant we had some noisy seagulls outside the bedroom in the early hours! But the location was great and we were super close to some great coffee spots/bars, and a short walk to the seafront. The bathroom could’ve been a little cleaner, but overall it was good and the toiletries/teas/coffee pods were a nice touch. It also took us til the last day to locate the iron as it’s in a cupboard with no handles! Overall a good stay with an amazing view of the abbey, and a great location. PS Ditto (a few doors down) is a must-try if staying in the flat. Amazing meal!

Had to pay £250 extra refundable damage waiver which they cheekily don’t message information about until you’re too close to cancel. Out of the £250 they keep £10 of it as an ‘admin charge’ which is just ludicrous. Huge black stains all over carpets in landing and bedrooms. Living room windows sealed shut so it’s about 40C with sun blaring into it. Wouldn’t return

The appartment is in an ideal location. Probably the highlight. The living/ kitchen space is very modern. Lots of room for lounging & great tv channels (Netflix etc. logged in). Bedroom is lovely, nice comfortable big bed. A modern bathroom . HOWEVER no information that the flat is up several steep staircases — advised we have child (baby) so getting the bags and the pram up there daily was a major challenge. Cleanliness an issue. Dead bugs on window ledge, dust and crumbs on counter tops. Lack of storage for clothes. Lack of kitchen equipment for guests — only glasses were 2 large beer glasses and 4 Prosecco glasses 😂. Says tumble dryer in listing —this is not true. Messaged Host to see if dryer is a rack and where it is.. advised they don’t have one and they never explained why their listing has a dryer. Very strange and unhelpful. Promised scratch cards for parking from host. None provided and lack of communication from host meant we had to go to air bnb support.

Overall a lovely venue, very clean and super good location. However, upon booking, we had to pay a non refundable damage deposit which we were unaware of so weren’t too happy - either £25 nonrefundable or a £500 cover which was refundable… additionally they were very strict about checkout times and appeared at our door within 10 minutes of 10am, which felt very rushed.

Unfortunately, whilst staying here we had no working heating or hot water until the following afternoon, meaning we spent the majority of our first night and only full morning, trying to sort the issue, really dampening our visit. There were also issues with nails sticking out in furniture seats, faulty light and dirty glasses/plates/utensils. I raised our concerns at the time and after our stay, requested a partial refund in light of these issues, through both air bnb and host and stay directly. I have received very little communication and 11 days on still not received a resolution. I understand some issue can’t be helped, but the handling of them after can be and I have been really disappointed with their response. I hoped it would be resolved prior to me writing this review, so I could make a positive comment on their handling of the issue, but they haven’t. Hopefully they will finally respond with the partial refund of the £92 I requested and can reply to this comment if so.

Would have been even better had there been some cleaning materials in order that I could have wiped down kitchen and bathroom before leaving. Also a vacuum cleaner would be useful. A bit miserly on the provision of tea, coffee and milk only enough for two cups of each.

Lovely apartment with good view of the Abbey. Easily accessible for the harbour, old town and all areas of interest in Whitby. The bathroom light is on a timer which is very annoying as it constantly turns off when you're in the shower. Our experience was ruined at the end as the 'helpful' guidebook and message sent via the Airbnb inbox stated that checkout was at 12pm, however about 9am we got a message telling us to vacate at 10am. Whilst polite in their responses Host and Stay did not accept their error, despite seeing it in writing, and told us we needed to leave straight away and then threatened to charge us for late check out. Really poor customer service so I'd recommend triple checking what time they would like you to leave in case they spring an earlier time on you

The location was fabulous, in the neighborhood atop the hill in Whitby. The flat was very nice, clean, and mostly well-stocked. There were a couple of things missing: hand soap in the bathroom, washcloths, curtains or blinds in the hallway, and a blanket (only the duvet on the bed). The freezer had been left open and the resulting ice buildup made it unusable. Additionally, the listing does not mention that the flat is on the third floor. The staircase is steep and musty (there was a note mentioning a recent leak). Anyone with mobility issues would not be able to stay here. There was some conflicting information (that is supposed to be fixed) about check-out time but at least the host company was responsive. Be sure to make note of the required security deposit that is not included in the booking price. Overall, despite several hiccups along the way I still greatly enjoyed my stay here.

Brilliant location and really impressive, stylish apartment! We LOVED Whitby and found this to be a great base for our short visit - fantastic view of the Abbey from the living room window. Parking is simple enough and you’re provided with a visitors scratchcard pass for use in “W” zones - we found the closest of these zones to be very busy for the majority of the time, so used a paid car park 4-5 minutes from the apartment at a somewhat reasonable £8 per 24 hours.

This was a nice place to stay for my wife and I and our baby boy. It wasn’t perfect for the baby due to the hard surfaces in the main area making it difficult to find a safe place to put him, but that was in the description so wasn’t the fault of the host. A couple of small gripes- the bin under the sink wasn’t emptied from the last guests. The apartment didn’t have many supplies and we had to go out to get some kitchen sponges and bathroom supplies. And the bins at the end of the alley were full when we got there. Otherwise it’s a nice apartment in a lovely area of a lovely town. Communications were fast an excellent from the host. Many thanks

Beautiful flat as described in photos, we love the decor but it was not clean at all. Carpet had not been vacuumed and worktops had not been wiped. Walls and ceilings are paper thin, you can hear everything. Not accessible at all if you have a pram or are disabled. Stairs are very steep and narrow so it’s very difficult to get luggage in and out. Great view out of the kitchen window if you can see passed the bird poo and excessively dirty windows. Such a shame we left a night early because of the noise from the flat below and above.

This was a lovely retreat in a busy seaside town. The clean, uncluttered, yet comfortable setting was quiet and restful. Away from the noise and bustle of the waterfront, yet easily within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do. The kitchen made it so we didn’t have to go out for every meal and the living area was just right for relaxing after a full day of hiking and exploring the town. The bed was very comfortable. Only slight downside was that the water in the shower wasn’t warm at all, but maybe that’s just a British thing. Also, finding parking was a bear. But that’s more about Whitby itself than this place in particular—parking is at a premium. But once we got there, we never moved the car. There really is no need for one unless you want to tour the countryside, but even that can be done on foot as the Cleveland Way runs right through Whitby. Strongly recommend as a place to spend some time in this town.

Not suitable for anyone with accessibility needs/issues using stairs as stairs to top floor apartment are narrow and windy. Also difficult to unload from vehicles outside the property.

Quite disappointed with this apartment. On entering the stairs up to the flat the carpet was missing which made the steps quite dangerous, it also smelt really damp. The flat is nicely decorated but there are big stains all over the carpet from the hallway right through to the bedroom. The windows in the bedroom and kitchen don’t open and it was boiling while we were there so that was a bit of an issue. The shower doors don’t close properly so water goes everywhere and there’s no where to hang wet towels or anywhere to really put clothes away. No bedside tables or lamps. A glass was broken and generally the place needed some TLC. Great location although parking was an issue. Could be a really nice place to stay but was overpriced for the condition of the flat.

Stay started really well - lovely location and apartment has everything you need. Rang the company for instructions on parking. They talked me through it so Parked the car and left it at that. On the first morning, we woke up to a leak from the tap in kitchen. Rang company to report it. Nobody came to fix it in our stay so we spent the time emptying the pan we put beneath it and cleaning up spillages. Bathroom light is on the most sensitive timer so it is just on the duration of the stay - it flicking on and off in the night is really annoying. Finally, on the morning we left, had a £50 parking ticket on my car despite me following their instructions step by step. Rang company who admitted they should have given me a different parking permit but followed up with the fact they’re not liable to parking charges… so basically, pay the £50 yourself despite it being our mistake. Really disappointing. Wouldn’t recommend.

Where to start with this one. Was looking so forward to staying here as the pictures are beautiful.. it’s obvious it’s quite a new apartment. Well! I got there and check in was good, key safe to the property… great location short walk to the shops. Comfortable bed nice spacious lounge. However woken up each morning at 8:30am by work men in the neighbouring apartment (which was also owned by host & stay as I saw the vans outside) bang bang screwdriver going on and off. Every utensil in the kitchen you could think of.. yet no cutlery?! The window in the bedroom was broken… which meant there was a constant draft on one of the windiest nights. It didn’t help the bedroom door didn’t shut properly so this was rattling all night. And then to top it off.. the lights in the bathroom were on a sensor which was constantly flicking on and off on both nights keeping us awake with the light flooding through the cracks in the door frame. I honestly feel like I am writing a novel with the descriptions but it’s very disappointing when you are paying £100 a night!!! Also £50 cleaning fee for what? The cream carpet throughout was filthy! Will not recommend to anyone and will not be staying here again. I usually like coming back to the apartment at the end of the day but we stayed out as much as we could.

An excellently located base for a Whitby adventure. Clean with an extremely well laid out kitchen so you can properly cook if you want to. Parking permit allocated for your stay, I hopped out of the car on Flowergate and ran up to the apartment to pick it up so we could head out and park up in Zone W straight away. We found a space after a 5min drive around; I’d also recommend downloading the Zone W map for ease.

Décor, fixtures, fittings, etc. all high quality and exactly as you would expect from the photographs. Location is excellent with Botham's bakery just up the road and Silver Street Fisheries in the next street - both highly recommended. And of course the views of the Abbey that change with the weather and time of day. Only downside is the lack of access to a dustbin outside the property, which may leave you looking for somewhere to dispose of your waste once the inside bin is filled.

The apartment was exactly how it is pictured very clean and modern however, due to being the first people to stay there were a few issues and the apartment was lacking some finishing touches ie ( blinds in the front room, rug) There was no parking scratch card provided in the apartment and after asking for one and being told this would be dropped off early in the morning it still hadn’t arrived. Internet was also intermittent as well as the sensor in the bathroom flicking on and off through out the night . Location is perfect super central and close to local amenities. Issues raised were taken on board by the letting company.
