Host & Stay - The Loft

because it was close and that's it

what I can say about the apartment is that you pay what you need and what you have to pay an additional 25 f, and I don't understand why, there was a lot of stress, because when the e-mail arrived, we had to write 25 f, because if not, we won't get the code for the key to the apartment , so it's better to read the reviews first, because it's hidden, unfortunately..

The loft is a lovely flat very comfortable very clean, comfortable bed good amenities oven kettle microwave toaster and two electric hobs so you can cook a meal. Also lovely views of the abby and a short walk into the centre.

It's a loft so if your unsteady on your legs or have problems walking then this is not for you as there's a few flights of stairs to clime. Also I'm tall and had a bit of trouble with the low ceilings especially in the bathroom and I did bang my head on a few occasions so bare that if your tall.

Nice little apartment

ceilings bit low but it was last minute booking so booked it as it was only for 2 nights

Great location with some lovely views across Whitby. Easy to find and get in the property, and it is decorated well inside. Overall, a useful property for a short, last minute trip where alternatives are limited at such late notice.

The very low ceilings were a problem - even us at 5 foot 7 were somewhat uncomfortable crouching around the property for 2 days. Furthermore, there was no coffee, no toilet roll, and only a handful of tea bags, so be prepared to either bring all your own essentials or go to the shop (which are close by). Finally, we think the additional £25 damage waiver fee (or the £250 deposit, which has a £10 'admin' fee) was a form of penny pinching as surely the property is insured anyway?

Location is excellent and is why i booked it. I needed something in that area. I knew it was small and what you see is what you get. Read all the info and reviews,its all there, stairs and all.the company handling the property were really good. Answered queries and responded quickly.

Not a comfortable bed but does okay as you're exhausted from all the stairs! Very awkward to use the microwave or toaster due to the sloped ceiling but it is possible. One thing i really dont get is why, when there is a large bathroom, do you install the smallest sink I've ever come across. Its a tiny cloakroom sink. Loads of space for a normal size sink which would be way handier.

Great location

Lots of stairs but knew beforehand

Easy to access keys. We parked about 10 minute walk away where we found free parking. Generally clean and tidy - yes ceilings were low but we expected this when we had booked an attic apartment. (Even with one of us 6ft.5!) we did well to not bang our heads! View was brilliant of the church and abbey. We had attended a wedding at the church so was lovely to look at the view. Generally, provided us everything we needed. Yes lots of stairs - no good for people who aren’t as able but we didn’t mind for the exercise!

This was the WORST bed I have ever slept on. I joked and said the bench on the seafront would have been comfier. This was a massive let down for this location and really spoilt it for us. I would have given our stay more of a generous 8/10 but the bed really really let it down. Made me dread going to sleep. This was very disappointing!!! An air mattress would have been comfier. I didn’t feel that the place was worth the money we spent. Especially when you need a good night sleep and it spoilt the holiday with how bad the bed was. I even read the previous reviews regarding the bed, so took a thick sleeping blanket to lay over the mattress to try and help the comfort… this did not improve it. This place is alright if you’re staying for just 1 night but 3 nights was far far far too many on that really horrific bed! Glad to be home now on our comfy beds! I wouldn’t book here again because of this issue alone.
