A bit awkward unloading luggage on street as there is very limited spaces and you only get 40 mins before you have to move car to carpark up the hill. Accessing the bedroom in the attic was a bit dangerous as the ceiling is very low, could do with a warning sign. A bit shabby inside. Could do with a deep clean.

Great location,

The location of the property was good, there was plenty of space for four people with dogs.

The property was beautiful and right in the centre of Staithes.

House was clean but from entering the house smelt of damp dog and was worse the higher you went up. Also didn't like having to use a third party for a £250 breakage deposit which we were charged a £10 admin fee for the privilege. The price should be as shown on booking.com and not have hidden extras. Most just hold your details and do not literally take your money out! and then you have to wait over a week to be refunded.

Nice and spacious, good location. Well equipped. Ideal base for exploring the coast.

Loft room difficult to access via steep stairs and very low roof although can’t really be changed. Uncomfortable settee in the lounge and unable to watch TV comfortably from it. Seating area could be configured differently. Clean inside, but velux window in lounge and outside at the front filthy. Needs a good sweep/clean.

Location perfect Very warm and cosy

We were unsure of how to work the central heating on arrival and the instructions were not readily available so this took us some time to work out the cottage was very cold . The Cottage is in need of some TLC peeling paint, a leg broken on the sofa , and the velux window in the loft was damaged none of these are difficult to repair so we are unsure as to why they have not been maintained the exterior of the property needs sweeping and maintaining. I was not happy that I had to pay a £25 non refundable damage waiver fee but the alternative of them charging £250 to my account for 14 days was not acceptable particularly when we noticed within 30 minutes of our arrival damages I can imagine the fight we would have had had I not notified them immediately.

The location of the cottage was excellent the size of the property was adequate the facilities basic but ok

There are a couple of negatives. The property exterior looks very tired and could with a refresh. On arrival we found the bottom of the fridge was full of water and the stairs noticeably hadn’t been vacuumed, although the rest of the house was very clean. The mattress in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable and is clearly very old. I have stayed in Staithes many times and on most occasions they come with at least one parking permit; unfortunately that meant we had to pay to park two cars for a week at the main car park, which was an added cost. Finally, the price advertised is not accurate. Host and Stay make you pay either a £25 waiver for any damage during your stay, or you have to leave a refundable deposit with a fixed £10 admin fee. So you have to pay the extra whether you break anything or not, which is very poor. These relatively minor negatives are a shame for what is in the round a lovely property in a fantastic location.

The property is a really good size, makes use of the space very well and is very well equipped. The location is excellent on Staithes High Street, just yards from shops, pubs and the beach. Overall, it’s a very good house and we had a great week.

Bed mattress very poor quality and very uncomfortable . Hadn’t been told that outlook from kitchen below street level

Kitchen dining area was of a reasonably good standard and generally well equipped

My son & myself are over 6 ft so the onsuite in the attic was no good with the shelf in the way. We could not find the visitors book to sign. The place was clean but it wasn't a good clean just a flash over. Wee in the shower room toilet. Maybe as the place is up for sale that due care & attention wasn't taken.

Location was perfect the house had everything you require but since we spent the majority outside we didn't use any of the facilities. So all in all just a please to sleep & wash

Very tight headroom up the stairs to the top floor - we are only 5ft 5 but banged our heads on the ceiling numerous times!

Great location, lovely bedrooms, great to have a bath, very nice living space.

Front door keys need attention - lock got stuck at one point.

Loved the location

Stayed in July 2023

The outside of the property was dirty. The windows had a lot of dust and grime and hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. The key safe, which we couldn’t avoid touching was covered in bird droppings and as the cottage had been recently cleaned for our arrival we couldn’t understand why the key safe was so filthy. The TV in the bedroom didn’t work - the remote had no batteries. The Portable TV in the lounge was small and old. (In this day and age I would expect a Smart TV). There was a small bench at the front of the cottage which would have been a nice place to sit and have a coffee or relaxing drink but it was so old and dirty we didn’t risk it!

The property location was excellent, right in the heart of the village. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely, bright and clean even though they were small. The lounge in the roof was a very nice relaxing space to sit in the sun. The lounge and kitchen were open plan and adequately stocked.

Main thing didn't like was the company that hosts. Advertised as fully refundable deposit on booking.com (may have now changed) but they kept £10. Also said taken on arrival but they wanted it 14 days before the stay. Very poor hosting if someone is planning a trip on a budget. Office not helpful at all when contacted them about it. With regards the property, only minor things, sofa not the comfiest, made more uncomfortable when trying to watch tv due to angle had to sit at. Didn't go to watch tv but could have done with a slightly bigger one for on an evening. The upper floor has a few very low ceilings, i'm fairly tall at 6ft 1, to be confident wouldn't bang head going up stairs would climb the last few on knees, not a show stopper but something to consider if taller or not able to bend going up the stairs

Lovely cottage in a great location in an amazing place. Modern kitchen and bathrooms, well decorated, immaculately clean. Plenty of utensils to keep you going until you have enough to fill dishwasher. Kept nice and warm once figured heating out. Tea, coffee and sugar were there to get us started if we had forgot to bring. Plenty of cleaning products available. Shower was nice and powerful with plenty of space. Would highly recommend as a place to stay.

I didn’t actually realise that the property was pet friendly, but when we put the heating on the dog smell was awful. As we are not dog owners it was not very comfortable and it irritated my daughters chest. There was still large dog hairs on the sofa too. it needs deep cleaning in between checkins to ensure that the dog smell is minimised. Just an FYI the toaster needs replacing too as it is faulty on one side and the velux window is also faulty on the top floor and when it’s windy it’s really noisy.

The location was great, right on the high street. Clean beds and bathrooms too.

needs updating. it’s an old property so appreciate the problems that arise with this. cottage would have been excellent if cleaner. There were dog biscuits on the floor when we arrived. I hung my coat on chair in kitchen as it was wet (weather) and the next day there were snail slime marks up my coat. mould around the shower. crockery was not clean which I couldn’t understand as there was a dishwasher. Only needs a good clean!

location excellent! comfortable bed.

By stating "Parking" - i thought this meant free parking. But this is £10 per day at a private car park or £7 at a public unsecure car park next to a caravan park and Large pub. Second toilet seat missing. Living room after a day of raining can smell heavy musty/damp in the evening which was uncomfortable. Upstairs was totally fine. Shower cubicle has spots of mould around grouting. Both TVs has no HDMI cable

Location is superb. Very Modern. Love the top bedroom with separate landing space for reading. Complimentary milk and tea bags. Wifi from fibre 22Mb line which was good for netflixing.

Could do with a new frying pan and scouring pad / washing up liquid as prefer that to dishwasher.

Nice cottage with 2 nice bedrooms. Comfortable and spacious with excellent location

Stayed in July 2022

The house was quite dark and pokey. It was fine as only needed for a base but could do with brightening up. Sofa needs replacing and the layout downstairs didn't work for me. However, the seagulls were so loud it really affected our sleep. Something to consider if you're a light sleeper. This ruined our stay as it was so bad.

The location was fantastic. Staithes is lovely with great places to eat and lovely little shops. Runswick Bay was even nicer so good base to explore.

Stayed in July 2022

The bed wasn't the best, felt like it's had its best day. As there's no where for breakfast in Staithes, unless you wait until 10-30 , I suggest taking your own frying pan .

Beautiful little cottage full of character. Excellent location and very clean.

Unfortunately my husband kept banging his head on the beams, some of the beams going to the third floor are very low.
