Nothing

Cottage was lovely and cosy and well placed for access to all amenities in Staithes.

Nothing not to like

Great cottage in a central location right by the sea and local pub which served good food

Stayed in April 2024

Nothing to dislike, a couple of suggestions: it would be helpful to have some kindling for the open fire, especially for people arriving later in the evening, and it would be helpful to have the location of the switch for the water heater, and the exact location of the cottage (opposite the pub) noted in the otherwise really helpful online guide.

Great location close to the harbour, the narrow street to the cottage is opposite the side entrance to the Cod and Lobster, slightly to the left. There is an excellent kitchen - everything you could need- all clean and well presented. Beds were comfy, good shower, appreciated the under floor heating in bathroom, plenty of hot water. There were 3 of us, all adults and we were cosy and comfortable in the property. Will definitely stay again!

The door handle from living room to stairs was broken

The games selection was excellent

Nothing really for the host but we got hit with a £60 parking fine on our first night because we bought a ticket for the public car park and was fined because we were on the adjoining private one. In the dark and pouring rain the signs are not enough. We won't be returning to this place it made the whole trip a lot more expensive and left a sour note. A warning about this issue could be put in the cottage details. I'm sure we are not the first.

The shower room tile grout is need of good clean. Damp in the shower room. Steep stairs. They charge an extra £10 for looking after your £250 deposit (Shocking). Which is not mentioned on Booking.com or you have to pay £25 damage waiver. £6 or £10 for 24 hours parking.

Traditional Cottage in a good location. Comfortable bed, warm and good shower.

The staircase carpet, which runs into both bedrooms is rather rough to walk on bare footed. Also the shower part of the downstairs toilet needs re-grouting.

Location is based next to the Cob & Lobster at the harbour. The 1 road/street is also close by, which offers the other places to drink or dine. It is a well maintained periodic house with all of todays facilities.

The cottage felt a bit damp and needed airing Couldn't get the heater in the double bedroom working The alleyway leading to the cottage needed a good sweeping and there were 26 dustbins to contend with We had no hot water to begin with The bathroom tiles, although nicely done needed a good clean

Quaint cottage. Good refurbishment with quality fixtures and fittings Quality equipment Comfortable Good quality bedding The supply of coffee, tea etc The supply of cleaning materials

The property was very good, but the experience with Host and Stay (the leasers) was terrible. Unlike every other property I have ever booked, from booking you are then subject to an email avalanche. The first tranche is an attempt to extract more money via a hefty damage deposit or waiver (which is not clear at booking). The payment system for this doesn’t work, and customer service is difficult to get hold of and, once you’ve got through, clearly an outsourced call centre. The deposit is mandatory so you don’t get any property details till you’ve paid. In my case I paid and was then told via one of their numerous emails that I hadn’t (so no check in / location info was provided). Cue numerous attempts to resolve the situation. Then there are numerous emails telling you to verify yourself. All in all, the whole booking experience was full of admin and very cumbersome - no other holiday rental I have ever experienced makes you go through this. I would never stay at a Host and Stay property again, which is a shame because the property itself was very good.

Property clean, good amenities, excellent location.

Availability of parking proximal to the cottage. There’s a public car park 10 minutes away, however is a pain when it’s pouring down rain and blowing a gale.

Tastefully renovated little cottage that was warm, comfortable and very accommodating for families, in particular the availability of board games for rainy days.

Sitting room could have more comfy seats and tv should be bigger

Very clean, beautifully refurbished and very cosy.

Great location. Lovely little cottage.

Stayed in October 2022

Unfortunately, the cottage had a terrible smell. Could not work out if it was gloss paint or paraffin. This impacted on the amount of time that we could spend in the cottage.

Quaint cottage. Great location. Communication with host was good. Car park close by. Comfortable beds and living area.

I felt the cleanliness could have been better, the oven was dirty/greasy and the tiles in the shower were mouldy in parts, it didn't spoil the holiday, but for the price, we expected better. Fans would be a good addition for the bedrooms,

Lovely cottage, good base for visiting other area's, there was everything we needed, right in the heart of the village. The property was very cool downstairs, which was great as the weather was so hot.

Stayed in July 2022

The shower room was extremely cold and water temperature goes cold very quickly.

The log fire was wonderful on the chilly evenings, the location was fantastic.

A little smaller than expected

Excellent location

Stayed in December 2021

the decor was lovely- very modern and clean. the beds were very comfy

There is a problem with the electrics. The power goes off each time you switch on the shower. There is damp in a number of rooms. The toaster didn’t work. Lots of great dvds but no DVD player.

Amazing location. Loved the cosy fire in an evening. Nice and clean.

Stayed in October 2021

if you have the shower on the high setting the electrics trip out. the electric wall heater in the lounge and main bedroom isn’t easy to fathom and could benefit from some clear instructions.

the location is great, gun gutter is a quiet area but close to the harbour and the pub. the property is well equipped with just about everything. the kitchen is modern and well stocked. the tv has sky and Netflix and access to other on demand tv very easily.

Stayed in November 2021

The bathroom needed some work. Had to be very quick in the shower as the wet room started to fill to a worrying level. 50% of the time the shower fused the electrics. I find it hard to believe that this only started to occur during our stay.

Great location. Lovely kitchen with everything you could need. Cosy cottage. Clean. Great use of space considering size of cottage.
