The Nutshell is in a great location, a very few minutes walk from everything you want, shops, pubs, restaurants, bus and train station and the harbour, yet it's just off the main streets enough to be quiet. The place itself is very comfy, clean and a really imaginative and efficient use of the space. The owner could not have been more friendly or helpful. For a couple or lone traveller you'd have to go some to beat the Nutshell as a base for exploring this lovely and fascinating town.

Lovely quirky little place in an ideal location. Easy strolling distance to pubs, restaurants, shops etc. The parking permit provided for the duration of our stay was a god send as parking in Whitby can be tricky in busy periods and expensive. The car park was about a 5 to 10 minute walk away which wasn't an issue as you are able to stop outside the property and drop off your bags beforehand and there were plenty of spaces available. The apartment itself was lovely, decorated in a nautical theme. It was all very clean and tidy, kitchen is equipped with all you need for a short stay and we particularly liked the mezzanine room over the living area. Outside table and chairs are provided so you can enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony area after a day exploring Whitby. Owner Andy was brilliant with information before we arrived when I called him regarding key collection, even emailing us maps and explaining how everything would work (underfloor heating in the wet room, hot water etc). Would recommend for couples looking for a nice Getaway. Can't wait to return!

Mrs Spooner, August 2020

The location of the flat was brilliant - central to everything and parking not a problem.. The flat itself was exactly what we wanted and perfect for two people.

Had a lovely time staying in nutshell.. Great location very close to the centre. Parking is not ideal but only a 10 minute walk away from the property. Wifi would have been a bonus but apart from this really enjoyed our stay.

Mr Welsh, August 2019

The shower curtain was dirty as were the joints in the paneling.. The fridge handle was broken as was one of the cupboard door handle. Also the patio was in need of a clean. On the plus side it is a nice quirky cottage and very handy for amenities.

Mrs Spurr

Really nice holiday cottage.. Close to the shops and centre of Whitby, so great for exploring. Clean and comfortable, really enjoyed out stay here. Can image its really nice through the summer to sit outside the front door on the little table and chairs provided. Gorgeous place and would love to stay again!

Mrs Coulthard

September 2018

The cottage was as listed and in a very good location, which meant we did not have to use our car every day.. Plenty of shops nearby, our first visit to Whitby and would book this cottage again. Car park where we left our car was a 10 minute walk, permit provided so not a problem. Cottage warm, so hardly had to put heating on. Loved Whitby and was sorry to leave.

This little gem is perfect for getting away from it all whilst being close enough to all the attractions of Whitby. Excellent cafes and just a short walk from the sea and Whitby Museum. Ideal for 1 or 2 people and the bed is so comfy, I slept better than at home!

The Nutshell is perfectly placed to be near everything you need (cafes, shops and the sea) but still tucked away enough to be quiet and private.. It is ideal for getting away from the rush of everyday life and just relaxing. The bed is amazingly comfortable too, I slept better than at home!

Ms Crompton

December 2017

The location of this property is fabulous.. It is only a 5 minute stroll to the bridge, so the old town, the abbey, the new town and the coastal walks are all wirhin easy reach. We woyld definitely book this property again, and can recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Whitby.

Mrs Collitt

We loved Nutshell! Beautifully designed, the accommodation is immaculately clean and very well thought out. The nautical theme works well and gives a lovely feel to the place. The location is great, quiet street but close to shops and only a short walk to the harbour and beach. We loved staying at Nutshell and look forward to another visit there!

A beautiful little gem of a hideaway for 2, the most inventive use of space I've ever seen. It was very well appointed with everything you might need. Very central with free car parking at the Leisure Centre.
