The Space
Stylish and modern, with plenty of the cosy comforts of home on offer, Abbey Nook could be your next ideal getaway.

At the heart of this property is the combined kitchen and living area. Offering you the chance to camp down and relax after a long day exploring the best of what Whitby has to offer.

LIVING AREA
You can recline yourself out on the two seater sofa and enjoy the wall-mounted flatscreen. There is also the addition of an armchair, well cushioned and with a coffee table for your additional comfort.

KITCHEN
The kitchen area is well equipped, sleek and modern. Dominated by the central island, it offers plenty of storage space for all the dinnerware, cutlery and crockery, as well as being equipped with two stools that could make it the ideal breakfast bar for your mornings. Additionally, the kitchen is also fitted with the essentials and a few extras for you: electric stove; kettle; microwave; dishwasher; oven; kettle; washing machine and coffee maker - all of these are free for you to use at your leisure throughout your stay.

DINING AREA
Finally, there is also a dining table with seating for two for you to make the most of enjoying your meals together.

BEDROOM
In the bedroom you will find a spacious double bed, armoured in luxurious cushions, and bedecked in soft, fine linens and bedware for the perfect night's sleep. You will also find a make-up table and mirror for your convenience, as well as a set of bedside tables and reading lamps, either side of the bed.

BATHROOM
Lastly we come to the bathroom, stylishly adorned with shining white tiles throughout, the great work of this room is the luxurious walk-in shower, with its plenty of room to stretch and manoeuvre in, as well as the added bonus of the rainfall shower head above, allowing you to add to you immersion in hot water.

Neighborhood
The centre of Whitby and Whitby Harbour are just a few short steps away from Abbey Nook, so it’s ideal if you want to experience what life is like living by the sea.

The area is famous for the quality of its fish and chip restaurants, and there are plenty of places where you can sink your teeth into a fresh catch. When you fancy a drink, you’ll find a variety of bars as well as pubs and shops in the local area.

Whitby is also famous for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’. You’ll find plenty of sites near the apartment with historic interest relating to the story. The main inspiration can be found at the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey.

Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. In particular, Dalby Forest and Guisborough Forest, just a short drive away and they both have various beautiful walking and cycling routes to explore.

Getting Around
Abbey Nook is just a short walk to the town centre, Whitby Harbour and the bus and train station. Villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.

good location<br/><br/>past negative comments not sorted, sticking door/stiff key/loose stair carpet/not parling permits provided/damage waiver also stair light on mostly all the time, no fire exstinguisher ( fire blankert provided)/toilet fan not working/floor covering looking tired

Good location,every thing you need for self catering was there.<br/><br/>Dirty stain on the large rug in lounge,also very dirty windows in that room.Entrance and stair carpet was also dirty.Adress these items and it would be 10 out of 10

Gail

Location perfect. A comfortable and bright flat.<br/><br/>Later than average access, earlier than average vacate time, not flexible, guess because of number of properties. Contact not personally tailored and staff didn't answer email re parking.

Overall stay at Abbey Nook was good. The location was brilliant with everything close-by and walkable, modern interior and decor, it was easy to find and check-in was simple and easy. (The key wasn’t in great condition so stiff to get in). Got a few reminders on check out time via email and text which seemed OTT. <br/>I would say that there was a couple of negatives which I need to mention hence reduction in rating. <br/>The first, the damage waiver. This came as a surprise a week before check in and had to be paid before you can get check-in instructions. Whilst not a huge amount of money, it’s the only time I’ve had to pay anything like this and it is not at any point mentioned until you get the email. <br/>The second, overall the property was not really clean. There’s a relatively high price for cleaning fees when booking, however upon arrival quite a lot of the property was dusty in most of the rooms.

Claire

12/07/2024

Modern,.clean, funky flat in ideal location.<br/><br/>When I booked, a parking permit for zone W was included as part of the accommodation offering. However on arrival this wasn't the case. It meant we had to pay an additional £10.80 per day for parking and had to keep going back to the car park to renew this each day.

Great location and property fitted out nicely. There were some areas that could be improved however. The entrance had quite a few weeds around and the door key was very stiff to insert/remove. The entrance stair carpet was very grubby and a bit smelly but that didnt carry on into the property. The inside appeared at first to be clean but there was lots of dust on artificial plants and the living room window frame. The windows themselves were also very dirty. Some extras that would be nice include a soap dish/dispenser in the bathroom and some more clothes storage. We really enjoyed it and just a little attention to detail is what we'd recommend.

Nice comfortable apartment. Clean, light and airy.<br/><br/>The key was a bit faffy to get in and out of front door. The Nespresso machine wasn’t taking the coffee capsule.

Gorgeous little flat. <br/>Exceptionally clean & comfortable. <br/>Great location.<br/>Bed was so comfortable.<br/>Very well equipped kitchen & amazing shower.<br/><br/>The carpet on the stairs leading up to the flat was loose in parts. Which made us feel unsteady going up & down.

I’m splitting this review into two sections; one for the actual property, and one for the management company.<br/>The property itself was lovely. It was exactly as per the photos, with modern tasteful decor throughout. The location was fantastic, easily walkable to all the main attractions in Whitby.<br/>Secondly, we had a terrible experience with the management company. The cleaning fee was 52% of the cost of the stay itself, which for one night is unscrupulous. Also, we were subjected to hidden charges, which I’ve never experienced before. We had to pay to receive the check-in instructions by paying a damage-waiver. Even after paying, the instructions were not sent quickly. Also, we were hassled throughout our stay via Airbnb message to remind us to check out on time.<br/>Overall, we had a lovely time in Whitby, however the management company needs to make their pricing structure fairer and more transparent before booking.

Robyn

24/05/2024

Very convenient location in the centre of Whitby and decorated beautifully. Was very clean on arrival and had great communication throughout. Only negative was that even though I was staying for two nights and there were two of us we were only left two coffee pods and two tea bags which given I was staying for my birthday seemed a little tight!

Lily

Abbey Nook is a well situated and lovely airbnb. We stayed here for two days and the only qualm we had was the carpet on the stairs leading up to the main apartment not being stapled in certain areas which proved to be somewhat of a tripping hazard. Overall the place was generally tidy and well equipped, with all the amenities necessary for a short trip. We had a lovely time and would recommend!

excellent stay. very central to all amenities. this was my 2nd stay will use again

Emma

09/05/2024

Ridiculous service from Host & Stay, plus a smelly dirty apartment to be welcomed into. <br/>Told the booking included on street parking, to arrive and everywhere be permit holders only. Permit left in the room, but you only find that out after paying to park. Unfortunately I am not a mind reader, and as not told about this first, I wasn't expecting to find it there. <br/>Carpet was covered in stains and stunk of dog, and was coming away on multiple steps which was extremely dangerous. Living room blinds were broken, so I couldn't open them, although after seeing how mucky the windows were it may have been for the best!! <br/> <br/>PHONED HOST & STAY TO MAKE A COMPLAINT - WAS SENT A LINK TO A COMPLAINT FORM WHICH CONVENIENTLY DOESNT WORK

Russell

07/05/2024

great location, nice flat with everything we needed for a couple of nights' stay. Bathroom was great and kitchen was nice with coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher etc<br/><br/>Entrance hall was not clean on arrival, sweet wrappers and other bits on the floor - looked like it hadn't been cleaned. Carpet on the stairs up to the flat was loose and great care was needed to get up and down without slipping

Christina

A beautiful stay in a modern apartment in the middle of a bustling Whitby street. A lovely satay and brilliant hosts

Ann

Comfortable, modern apartment in a great location.

Michael

22/04/2024

The location was perfect, just a short walk to the heart of the pier with all the shops and beach etc. Having our own little place to our self rather than a room was very nice. It's a stunning little place with all the facilities to cook and have some more freedom that a hotel wouldn't give you.<br/><br/>There wasn't much we didn't like however the heating was abit unpredictable. One moment it stayed very cold, the next really nice and warm. We also didn't like that there was so little facilities like toilet rolls (1 was given), and nothing really to clean the sides up incase a mess was made. To be fair we only stayed 3 nights but it was a little annoying to go to the shop and get extras to make sure we left the place looking good again etc. Finally the flat upstairs could be quite noisy at times. Have no idea what they was moving at 11 at night but it was very loud. Not this hotels fault at all but just something to be aware off.

Really lovely place to stay in the heart of Whitby!

Brad

05/04/2024

Location was fantastic! The apartment was well-equipped and the TV facilities were really good. The shower is incredible too. Parking was fine and the parking scratch was fantastic (thank you).<br/><br/>The apartment needs some tlc (island cupboards chipped, the carpet on the stairs is VERY dirty and needs cleaning, the windows in the living room are also very dirty and the bedroom door is squeaky).

The asthetics were a 10 gorgeous comfy pad and great location . It could have been cleaner dust and palarvour parking and getting in last check in for how pricey it is . No mention of scaffolding taking the window view at time of booking !!!<br/><br/>Lack of clean dust an sand

Bradley

26/03/2024

very clear instructions on where the apartment was along with further infomation about how to check in and the apartment itself.<br/>very clean when we arrived and in a great location.

Martin

23/03/2024

Facilities were comfortable nice spot close to all the shops and pubs if needed.<br/><br/>Scaffolding around the property didn't tell me. got parking fine !!! no permits supplied on arrival. Zone parking which we never got told and trouble with the key box also.

Dawn

22/03/2024

Fresh modern and simple .great location<br/><br/>There must have been some work going on in the property so there were bits of sawdust <br/><br/>.There are a few knocks and marks around the apartment that just need a little attention after every customer to keep it fresh and to standard ( the surround had fallen off the ceiling spotlight in the bedroom ,the bedside lamp was built wrong- we put both of these right / there was a chunk of the kitchen island knocked off near the floor / stair carpet dirty / needs a shower slip mat / needs a solar entry night outside front door as it was dark coming in alone ) .It would be a real shame if it slipped as it's so lovely and we would definitely recommend it

Kerry

15/03/2024

We liked the location. And Whitby is beautiful. This was our first stay so enjoyed our time there.<br/><br/>We didn't like the scaffolding right outside the windows to the living area of the apartment so that was our lovely view for our stay. Very noisy with people coming and going in the adjoining apartments. The room had been cleaned as such but things like the side lamps and the kitchen island had dust on them. Blinds had water stains on them.

Beverly

A really lovely apartment. Loved the location, really comfortable bed, fabulous hot shower. A bit expensive for one night.

Amanda

02/03/2024

Location fab and flat really well appointed. Good facilities such as excellent shower, Tv, etc.<br/><br/>There’s only one reason we wouldn’t use this property again, but it’s an important one - the bed. Too small, unsupportive. Did not give you a good night’s sleep. It’s a shame as rest of property is excellent.

Beth

William

Great location in Whitby. Tidy and well equipped.<br/><br/>Filthy kitchen bin. Holes in bedsheet. Dusty in places. Felt very unsafe only having one key to door in this property. If one person did not chose to leave to property they had to either be locked in or the door (down some stairs) left unlocked.

Location is ideal<br/><br/>Nothing it was all good, the apartment is on the first floor, and I can't recall if that was in the description so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues ...... not a problem for us

Stayed for 3 nights and thought the flat was great. <br/>Nicely decorated, felt homely and looked as it did in the pictures.<br/>Great location on a pretty little street, short walk down to the harbour.<br/>Comfy bed with nice bed linen quality.<br/>Would stay again.

Leanne

27/10/2023

The apartment was great, very clean and a great location. <br/>The communication from the host was really good as well.<br/>The only issue was some air bnb’s have a welcome pack and there was nothing here. <br/>However that didn’t bother me as it was so close to all amenities I didn’t want to stay in and cook and eat

Laura

21/10/2023

Only stayed one night but it was a perfect location to explore Whitby. Very responsive host, lovely apartment with everything we needed.

Michael

Location was excellent ?.<br/><br/>Property was not as clean as we would have liked. Very dusty.

Ashley

07/10/2023

Lovely place, great spot.

Fiona

03/10/2023

Location <br/>Modern decor although some areas need a bit of TLC <br/>Good space<br/><br/>The lights at the stairs and landing work through sensors - found them quite annoying. Would be good if one can decide when to turn them on/off. <br/><br/>No flexibilities with check in/check out time. Check in at 4pm and out at 10am are quite harsh I felt. First time staying in a place where the host didn’t allow some flexibilities. <br/><br/>A LOT of email communications and all felt commercial. A lot of the times it felt like “the computer says no”. <br/><br/>Additional insurance waivers/deposits requested not via bookings.com. I felt these should have been incorporated with the booking.com fee so you can make a fair comparison against other properties.

Graham

27/09/2023

location is ideal,local to bars,shops,sea front etc....parking is always an issue in Whitby,but parking tokens were supplied for the whole 10 days and wasnt a problem<br/><br/>What we didnt like was the bed,it is way too small and very soft,for the price we paid i would expect far better...also fire doors throughout is agood idea but the fact that they are spring loaded is areal pain and not really necessary in my view.Also with a stay of 10 days i would have expected a change of bed linen and towels to be supplied,but not in this case. Frankly disappointing....overall decor is nice but looking alittle tired,this is my honest opinion

Nichola

19/09/2023

On the whole very good. Nicely decor and furniture.<br/><br/>Parking in area a nightmare. could benefit from allocared spaces somewhere. Property could do with a little tlc but on the whole very good.

James

09/09/2023

Comfortable accommodation,great location.<br/><br/>No complaints.

Lucy

08/09/2023

Stayed here for one night as I needed a base for the evening as I had business locally. Beautifully decorated apartment and very well equipped, but sadly the smell (particularly in the bedroom) tainted this. <br/>Was a kind of fusty/damp smell very overpowering and it actually disturbed my sleep. It is a shame as if it wasn’t for this I would consider it a lovely place to stay. Comfy bed, lovely kitchen, overall very cosy. I did think it looked quite dusty in some areas so think the cleaning standards could be improved. <br/>I’m not sure what the cause of the smell is but perhaps even reed diffusers and plug in fragrance would help!? If this could be rectified I would then considering returning.<br/>Had I been staying longer I would have been in touch about the issue but it seemed pointless at the time considering I was just using the flat to get some rest.

very good location, not far from the sea front<br/><br/>Stairs a bit hard going on old legs

Neal

27/08/2023

Stylish apartment in a great location. Easy walking distance to all of the best parts of Whitby.<br/>Just lacked some of the personal touches we’ve come to expect from other Air B&B experiences -<br/>No coffee pods provided, no hand soap in kitchen and only one milk sachet. Damage insurance/waiver feels like a hidden charge and communications had a very commercial feel.<br/>Despite the above our stay was comfortable and the apartment was a great base from which to explore and enjoy Whitby.

Beth

Lovely flat, great communication. Unfortunately, as seen in some other reviews, there was no parking permit left for us on arrival, and the error code was still showing on the oven. Hosts were very prompt in responding however.

Tracey

Modern, great location. Our dog loved the floor to wall windows :-)<br/><br/>Dimmer switch for the auto lights in the hallway

Christian

18/07/2023

The property is clean, compact but has everything that one needs to relax in comfort during their stay in Whitby. Very Feng Shui and had a good vibe about the place.<br/><br/>The only thing that we didn’t particularly enjoy was the mattress on the bed. This is purely a personal preference but we prefer a firmer mattress. Otherwise all was good.

Amber

13/07/2023

lovely property in an easily accessible area. Host very attentive and responds quickly. would recommend

Graham

05/07/2023

Modern clean and in a good location. Comfortable place to chill and a nicely appointed.<br/><br/>Stairs a bit steep. Squeaky bedroom door just needs a bit of oiling. Parking an issue in Whitby so be prepared to spend time looking for a space, don’t arrive, as we did at 5 o’clock on a Friday.

Dalton

23/06/2023

Good location. Modern facilities. Pet friendly. Good info pack.<br/><br/>Large security deposit and £10 fee for the pleasure. No curtains or blinds on main windows. Uncomfortable bed. Sensor lights that stayed on. Squeaky bedroom door (really annoying). Street noise. Noise from upstairs flat.

Sam

28/05/2023

Really enjoyed our stay and the apartment is lovely and came with everything needed. It is in a great location.

Hancock

26/05/2023

Great location<br/><br/>Unable to park car within view of property and difficult to unpack unless you have someone to stay in the car. The traffic wardens are giving out parking tickets at all hours! <br/> <br/>Cleaning standards. Toilet not cleaned and still soiled. Bathroom sink very slow to drain therefore used as little as possible. Floors did not appear well hoovered or mopped. <br/> <br/>Floor to ceiling window in lounge and automatic light in the hall means that we were always in view of the man on his computer across the road. As reported by innumerable reviewers, this window needs some kind of privacy screening (e.g. shutters, voile, curtains)

Owl

16/05/2023

A truly amazing apartment with a great location . very modern spacious and felt like it was brand new<br/><br/>the bay window is an issue for privacy . as there wasn’t a blind or curtains you could see right into the apartment opposite and vice Versa . this would be the only reason as why I wouldn’t stay again . it’s a real shame as this is a truly stunning apartment . bit to many emails as well . must have had 20+ for a simple booking

Rhiannon

14/05/2023

Lovely apartment. Really clean and comfortable. Easily walkable to the main areas. Only thing as others mentioned is the lack of curtains on the front window - can be a bit noisy with traffic and feel a bit cold. But I’m very happy as my 19 month old went straight to sleep both nights as if he were at home - so can’t complain ? thank you!

Stephen

08/05/2023

good location, fairly quiet, well equipped kitchen, good sized TV, parking permits work well as long as you understand the restrictions,<br/><br/>As mentioned in numerous reviews, didn’t like the light on the stairs and landing being on a sensor, slightly worrying when you wake up at 2am and the light is on even though you’re both in bed! Also no curtains in the lounge make it very cold and not good for privacy when you go to make a cup of tea in the morning. Both of these issues have been raised in previous reviews since Sept 2022 and nothing has changed.

The location of the apartment was brilliant! Really centrally located in Whitby with close access to the beach, harbour and town centre. The apartment facilities were fantastic and spotlessly clean.<br/><br/>An overwhelming amount of communication from the host, appreciate a lot of this was automated, however there was an awful amount of information sent in a lot of different messages.

Heather

Perfect location, modern interior a very comfortable stay. Thank you ?

Adam

good location. located in the heart of Whitby and shops only a stone throw away.<br/><br/>no blinds or curtains in the living room. there was also a bad smell on the staircase. could of done with a better clean prior to check in.

Mike

17/03/2023

This is a lovely appartment right in the centre of Whitby. It is very clean and modern with very good facilities. Would stay here again.

Joanne

14/03/2023

The location was great, within walking distance of everything. Loved the modern interior and furniture.<br/><br/>The hall and landing lights were on a timer so there was no way of controlling them which was a bit annoying. No blinds or curtains to the main window which is overlooked by the newsagents opposite.

Vince

Phoebe

17/02/2023

Absolutely brilliant location in Whitby, well decorated with a very bright living area. Was very central and the local cafes & pub were excellent. <br/>Will say that the pans did not work on the induction hob which was quite annoying (pans were not compatible with hob) but if you’re eating out on your trip then this isn’t an issue! Also, there are no blinds or curtains on the large living room window so is very open on an evening.<br/>We arrived a little early and messaged to ask if we could check in earlier and they responded swiftly saying we could which was great! <br/>Very cosy and overall a good trip!

Julie

06/02/2023

great location, clean and had everything we needed. Great that it is dog friendly and as the front door was only for us, we could leave dog towel and walking boots there.<br/><br/>As mentioned in other guests comments - whilst decor is very stylish definitely requires curtains in the living room as it is like sitting in a gold fish bowl not to mention the heat loss from such large windows. Landing light is v annoying far too bright and stays on too long - needs a switch!<br/>Don’t like the £250 bond required as you have our contact details, card info anyway if there were any issues - no need for the money to be taken even tho it was refunded after a week.

Amy

05/02/2023

This flat is the perfect base for a weekend in Whitby and the surrounding coast. <br/><br/>Beautifully modern and decorated, it was a treat to stay here. It was like staying in a show home! <br/><br/>The parking was a little tricky, in that I left the car a 5 min walk away. I usually like to be able to see my car especially at night but it felt safe on the side roads.<br/><br/>Highly recommend for a couples getaway

Julia

23/01/2023

There was a lack of attention to detail. The oven was displaying an error message therefore did not work, although host & stay responded quickly they could only provide an incorrect web link to resolve. I had to find the fix for myself online.<br/>The batteries in the tv remote had run out so we had to buy replacement. <br/>The big bay window in the lounge did not have any curtains or blind this made the room very cold when the rest of the apartment was very warm. Also didn’t feel cosy. Only a 2 day parking permit was left and our stay was for 3, host & stay again responded quickly but did not action the request for a further permit to be provided. We have stayed in Whitby many times and this was the first place that did not provide a welcome pack of some description. The apartment was clean (although a strange smell on the stairs) and in a good location. Overall quite impersonal & things could be improved.

location and everything needed<br/><br/>the automatic light that turns on and off seems on wmfor ages so flows through bedroom door , and as noticed from previous reviews some sort of shutter or curtains would be better in living area as still feel exposed on an evening not east to relax … owners should really listen to people staying at their property x but on the whole lovely place well equipped

Great location, very clean and well equipped.<br/><br/>Really needs some blinds in the living room! Also the automatic hall lights were a bit of a shock to the system when getting up in the middle of the night!

Loved our stay, but unsure of either extortionate insurance charges or choosing to deposit £250 with a £10 non refundable admin charge. First place we have stayed where there was no welcome pack.

Brilliant flat in Whitby town Center <br/><br/>Accommodation was clean and comfortable and only a short walk from the Centre of Whitby. Very stylish decor with easy access upon arrival.<br/><br/>Flat is up a flight of stairs but this didn’t bother us. Fantastic quiet location of an evening with bars and cafe just down the road would definitely recommend for couples and pet friendly too!

Beautiful well appointed flat, all modern fittings and appliances. Fantastic location on a little high street with cute shops and restaurants very close-by. Comfy seating and nice decor. Great shower, bed slightly soft for my taste - but otherwise can't fault the flat itself. Gorgeous bay window overlooking the street below. <br/>The parking was a little tricky. When you arrive you should find a spot on the street to unload from (not possible to pull up right outside, as the side street is narrow, but you should find a space close), but then you have to move the car to surrounding streets in parking zone W where the scratch card permit is valid for, as the street right outside is a different zone. I suggest arriving earlier in the day as all surrounding "zone W" streets were full after 7:30pm. Maybe not the easiest if you have lots of heavy bags, or poor mobility.

An excellent stay right in the heart of Whitby. Comfortable bed and amazing pressure in the shower. The apartment is well equipped with all the cooking utensils you need. Host and Stay were great to communicate and resolved any issues we had. Would highly recommend.

Perfect little self contained flat close to everything you would want.<br/><br/>Watch out though that the host will hold your £250 "deposit" (actually a charge) for a full *14* days after checking out even if there are no issues. If you thought, like me, that you could just cover it temporarily on your credit card this could cause you additional charges from the card company.<br/><br/>Host communication was prompt but curt and did not always fully answer the question.

The location was great, and the property was lovely, modern and clean. Just what we were looking for!<br/><br/>The only thing I would change about the property was the lack of curtains in the living area. I would’ve liked to close them for privacy when we were watching tv in the evening. <br/> <br/>The only other thing I would mention was the excess of emails I received prior to the trip. They were a little bit overwhelming and I found that I missed a couple of things as they were buried in the emails. Otherwise very good :)

Lovely, clean and homely apartment. Great location .everything you needed was available .<br/>Shower was really nice ,overall great apartment.<br/><br/>Parking was a bit annoying had to drive around for a long time and ended up paying in the car park even though we had a scratch car .., did manage to park on the second day luckily. <br/> Also I think blinds or curtains in front windows would of been nice .

Just got back from a lovely stay at Abbey Nook. The decor was just to die for. The check in process was great. The property was a few minutes walk from the centre which was perfect for us. We definitely will be returning!

The location and design of the apartment was great and everything needed was provided or easy to buy at the nearby stores and bakery. Would definitely recommend staying here, and I’m sure we will be again

The front of the property and Windows needed cleaning

Rebecca

21/07/2022

Loved the location and key box, the kitchen living area was such a bonus, with dishwasher and washing machine, would definitely return. Perfect for our dogs first holiday!! Loved the extra added touches of tea towel, dishwashing tablets, washing up liquid and a little bottle of milk for the tea and coffee. All extra little bits that definitely make the difference!<br/><br/>The windows in the main living room were sash style so a concern with having the dog, with it being so warm and that being the only window in the main living room, it would be good to have some sort of net to put over it as a precaution/something a guest could fit if they wanted to, e.g baby gate. Also the parking restrictions are a bit of a pain as you only get two days. Other than that could not fault it, amazing little gem of a flat.

Perfect accommodation for a lovely 2 nights stay in gorgeous Whitby! Location of the flat couldn't have been better too. Just a short few minutes stroll down to the main center. Would definitely recommend this lovely place!

A lovely apartment & great location, head to the jet black jewel for breakfast you won’t be disappointed!<br/>air con would have been ideal though as the kitchen / lounge was like a green house in the hot weather it was unbearable to sit in there also there were only 3 tea bags so bring your own but there was plenty of coffee . Bedroom was nice and cool, they provided a travel cot for our little girl which was helpful. Parking should be advertised clearer I assumed it was on site but it’s a permit for zones so we had a nightmare finding a spot.<br/>All in all It’s a lovely property in Whitby just could have been a touch cleaner on the floors & clearer about parking on listing x

Stunning apartment in a fantastic location. Beautifully styled, with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. Super comfy bed, spacious shower and well equipped kitchen. The open plan living space is well designed and feels really spacious for a 1 bed apartment. So happy it was dog friendly too. We absolutely loved our stay at Abbey Nook and will definitely be back soon!

We booked for a two night stay and we were not disappointed. Modern, contemporary and beautifully decorated apartment. Had everything you needed for a great stay. Everything within walking distance. Parking scratchcard was a blessing. We did not want to leave... thankyou for a wonderful stay

Lucy

The location was central to all shops and in the hub of it all. The apartment was modern, contemporary and catered to our needs.<br/><br/>Only thing I would say ... the floor to ceiling window... as beautiful as it was.. the morning sun was stunning.. there is no privacy. I would suggest bifold white wooden venetian shutters.. it would be inkeeping with the contemporary look and add a very much needed bit of privacy where needed.

Really well located property, the marked the perfect base for our Whitby getaway. <br/><br/>Modern, and very trendy on the inside. Had everything we needed and would happily stay again, plus will be recommending to friends.<br/><br/>Could feel more private if blinds or curtains were put up in the lounge but otherwise nice and quiet.

Lovely little home in Whitby. Good location. Everything was perfect. Only the parking could be a problem but thats how the council has set it up.

Host and Stay are fantastic, have great communication and are always on hand to help with anything you need. The appartment had everything you needed, would definitely recommend.

The flat was a lot less spacious than the pictures portrayed. As a business, opposed to a private residence it lacked any personal touch.<br/>The plants were all plastic. The automatic light in the hall didn’t turn off and we had to switch off the fuse each night.<br/>The cinema lighting in the bedroom ceiling was blindingly bright. Clearly had the wrong bulbs fitted.<br/>The central counter in the front room/kitchen vibrates as it is rested on the fridge.<br/>Perfectly comfortable but a much cheaper feel to the place than expected.<br/>Having said this the location is good and central and it is reasonably priced. The single glazing does give a lot of street noise particularly on a Friday night with drunken shouting.<br/>There also seemed to be renovation of the flat above during our stay which was unfortunate and quite noisy. Starting Early and continuing throughout the day

Allan

We had a great stay here, it looked recently renovated and was very clean. You are right on top of a shopping street so there may be quieter places to stay in Whitby but the location was really good, only 5 minutes to the water front.

Tracey

Beautiful apartment just like home from home. Everything you need is there. Fabulous large screen tv. Bed was the comfiest ive stayed in. Staff really friendly on the phone. Few issues but if rectified i wouldnt hesitate to book again. Overall excellent!<br/><br/>Main problem for me was the lack of curtains or blinds in living room bay window which was floor to ceiling. It was a complete bare huge window. In the evening when lights on i felt very exposed as windows opposite or people below on street could see straight into apartment. No privacy at all. If you dont mind this you'll be fine. Also, the shop directly below us was being renovated + builders were there after we arrived on the Friday till 5pm. Noise was horrendous..banging and drilling, but at least they didnt return on Saturday. Just think maybe we should have been told about it before booking. Feel sorry for peeps staying mid week, having to listen to that all day long.

Home Truths

Abbey Nook has a very central location in Whitby and lovely views of the streets below but please note the living room window does not have blinds or curtains.

The apartment is located on the first floor and the building doesn't have a lift so you will need to climb stairs to reach it.

Abbey Nook doesn't have a bathtub but it does benefit from a wonderful walk in shower.

Free parking is provided for one vehicle but this will be a few moments from the property.
