About this property
The Gull's Nest
Welcome to the Gull’s Nest, a charming 2 bedroom maisonette, in the heart of the seaside town of Whitby. Stacked with character and ocean themed- a fantastic haven for families to explore the North Yorkshire coastline.
This spacious apartment comprises of a living area, kitchen and lounge/dining area. There is a large king size bedroom and twin room (which can be made into a king upon request), sleeping four guests comfortably. With a central location it’s easy to eat out at one of the many restaurants or pubs nearby, however for those who are a whizz in the kitchen, there’s all the modern amenities you would expect from a home from home: stove top, oven, microwave, kettle, fridge, dishwasher and coffee machine. The apartment’s bathroom is modern and includes a bath with shower over, and heated towel rail.
The Gull’s Nest was originally built in 1709, and was once used as a Sea Captain’s house, in fact it’s possible to visit Captain Cook’s memorial museum nearby. Whitby has so much to offer and it’s all right on your doorstep: Whitby Abbey, 199 steps, RNLI museum, and the gorgeous beaches of Sandsend and Whitby Beach. If you’re not tired out from a day of exploring, then there’s always the harbour to take a stroll around at the mouth of the River Esk. Whitby is one of the few places in the UK where you can watch the sun rise and set over the sea in the summer.
This apartment is pet friendly and welcomes 2 furry friends.

We had a wonderful short break, and to be able to pop back to the flat was a real treat.
Central location brilliant. The flat was warm, and beautifully presented. Shower amazing. Lots of hanging pegs, which is always helpful.

Lovely stay, would book again definitely!
It was right on the Main Street, very nicely decorated and a good price.
There was no washing machine so clothes etc couldn’t be washed.

Perfectly situated for restaurants and surrounding attractions.
Parking was very difficult because of time of year we visited,the flat could be a little noisy at times in the evening because of position ( above pub) but didn’t really affect our stay , overall a lovely little flat with everything that is needed.

Fantastic apartment in a great location cannot recommend enough we had a fabulous stay
Location was brilliant. There was everything you would need in the apartment and more. The beds were really comfortable and the towels were a nice size for the larger body. The information and instruction booklet was a really nice touch, it was lovely to read about the history of the house.
We loved everything but if I have to put something then instructions on how to work the TV to get radio and how to play DVDS would be good in the instruction booklet. Also (although it wasn’t an issue for us) people need to be aware of the steps both up to the apartment and inside to the bedrooms and bathroom
