There is easy.
access to the Whitby Harbour area and good flat walking if you want to walk in the West Cliff area.
The flat is well equipped with modern kitchen and bathroom areas.
No hesitation in recommending this accommodation.

"Bram's Lair is a lovely flat and provided everything that was required for a comfortable week’s stay."
The only negative would relate to a few minor issues which could easily be rectified. First the window in the front bedroom is extremely draughty around the opener. The bad weather towards the end of the week meant the door had to be shut otherwise the draft would have rendered the central heating less effective around the rest of the flat. We were lucky there was only us but if you had a larger group it would have been an uncomfortable stay for the ones using that room. Some stick on draught exclusion tape would help. Second the kitchen floor has lifted between two joins which creates a bit of a trip hazard. Again this can be easily rectified. The welcome bag was very much appreciated and a lovely touch.
Dear Justin, thank you very much for this review, we really appreciate the feedback. The two mirror points you raise about the window in the front bedroom and the kitchen floor was not something we were aware of and will rectify this. We are pleased to hear you had a comfortable stay and you also appreciated the welcome bag. Best wishes, Neil & Pam.

"Lovely apartment in a beautiful and convenient location."
Owners were fantastic - the only problem we experienced (with the building, not the apartment) was sorted straight away. Everything we needed was provided as well as a much appreciated welcome pack. We managed to find parking spaces nearby using the scratchcard permits provided despite it being particularly busy for Goth Weekend. Will definitely visit again - thank you!

"The holiday flat, was lovely."
The welcome pack great. Parking was horrendous, ( not the holiday letting company’s fault) it took me 2 days to be able to park on the road, luckily my mum has a disabled badge, so we were able to park without paying, in a different street. The toilet seat needs changing, it doesn’t fit, it’s a shame, as the decor is lovely, then you put the wrong size seat on the toilet, doesn’t make sense!
Dear Nicola,
Thank you very much for the feedback, it is always good to hear from our valued guests. It is wonderful to hear you found Bram's Lair lovely, we have had lots of tremendous feedback on our property, as you can see. With regards to the toilet seat, we have never had anyone mention this previously and as owners we check during each changeover, however, we will check this and address if required. Unfortunately your arrival coincided with the busiest weekend of the year being the Whitby Regatta and all the attractions such as the Red Arrows display, so parking that weekend is indeed a challenge for everyone, including residents of Whitby. It is good to hear you were able to use the disabled badge and eventually found somewhere. Thank you once again. Neil & Pam
PS: Since I drafted this I have looked at the toilet seat and it simply needed adjusting, which it has been accordingly.

"I can highly recommend this ground floor accommodation."
It’s location is within a short walking distance to the main part of Whitby without being in it. Parking was easy and we managed to park outside the residence on all the days of our stay. The provision of a parking voucher took the worry away. The accommodation was very clean and you have all the amenities you would need to make your stay comfortable. We would rebook this accommodation without hesitation and would be disappointed not to get it gain. The only suggestion we would have is to provide some oven gloves.
Dear Michael,
Thank you very much for this wonderful review. We are delighted to hear you had such a good stay at Bram’s Lair and hope to see you return again. We do provide an oven glove and these are placed in the apartment every week by our housekeepers during turnover as they are washed; we apologise for their oversight on this occasion. Neil & Pam

"Well placed and spacious apartment."
Convenient for the town but also ideal for a stroll along West Cliff. Only one slight problem, the bathroom lock didn't work. Not too much of a problem as there were only the two of us for most of the week and when our daughter and her husband joined us for a few days we devised a signalling system to indicate in use or not!
Brilliant welcome hamper.
Would definitely stay there again.
