Host & Stay - The Birds Nest

Location / ease / decor

Parking second time we've stayed and the parking spot is difficult at the best of times but on both occasions the person in the parking sport adjacent has diagonal parked and made it almost impossible to park. Not the owners fault but maybe so notification could be provided to the other property owners to make a note to guests to be a little considerate Also a lack of drinking glasses up to other properties we have visited.

Great location, comfortable and spacious with good amenities

The parking space was s very tight to navigate when other cars are parked.

Great location and views. Very smart. Well equipped with most things you would need. To note that it is a second floor apartment without a lift so you need to be fine with stairs.

It was very hot (we were there during a heatwave) and it's a top floor attic apartment which makes it hotter. I knew there was no aircon but a fan would have been very helpful and cheap to add, so would recommend the owners buy one. The heat also made it noisier as you had to have windows open which added to the noise as the seagulls are surprisingly noisy (imagine this applies anywhere in Whitby though). So a lovely apartment most of the year but wouldn't recommend during a heatwave unless the owners provide a fan.

Birds Nest was bright and modern exactly like the photos with in a great location.

The bathroom smells like sewage from the drains and being with the open plan layout this was not great at all, the slide door didn’t close properly so rattled with the bathroom window open. The boiler would made a rattling booming sound that happened all through the night which disturbed our sleep. There was no where to hang coats, coat hooks needed in the entry area. There are 2 windows in the bedroom with no blinds on so very light in the morning. The entry area needed a good clean as the little window cill was thick with dust and the carpets were dirty which was our first impression. Birds nest was clean however the bathroom bin was full on arrival with wipes maybe from the cleaner. We also had no towels so had to contact Charlie from H&S to arrange delivery which we got later that day. Parking space was tight but we have a big car and could park (skills required) although the glass bottle bin was full which was next to our car so did keep checking that as was concerned something could fall on the car.
