Clean and comfortable. Good parking. Spacious well equipped. Lovely area very quiet. Nice to see the horses being exercised.<br/><br/>Settees a little worn but very comfortable.

Clean, quiet, spacious, had what you need.<br/><br/>Poor water pressure in shower.<br/>All the fire signage takes away from the homey feel of the place, a bit overkill and made us feel unsafe and at risk. Very disappointed at the surprise mandatory insurance. This was not part of the description when I booked. I believe it has been added now but I was very put off to receive and email requiring further payment for this rental. Sneaky and definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

Spacious apartment in a great location for our trips to Pickering, Thornton le Dale, Goathland and Whitby.<br/><br/>The shower in the ensuite needs some TLC. <br/><br/>Be careful on the entrance to the property if you have a low car. There's an adjacent driveway that also accesses the property, which is not so steep.<br/><br/>When comparing prices, note the additional £25 for damage insurance, which will be requested before details to access the property are given.

Lovely, well-equipped and comfortable property, in lovely location with great access to explore beautiful Yorkshire. Within walking distance to Malton and its local amenities. Particularly enjoyed waking up to the sound of the race horses setting out for their exercise! Would recommend highly.

The accommodation was nice and comfortable. Unfortunately, we had a towel that had a really nasty stain on it (it looked like it had fallen into a cow pat) and Host and Stay did nothing to replace this. I contacted the owner direct and she was extremely helpful but I felt that Host and Stay let everyone down.

Great size apartment plenty of room comfortable bed ensuite a bit small but main bathroom huge great location very quiet plenty of parking fully equipped kitchen fast wifi.<br/><br/>Having to pay home stay twenty five pound non refundable damage wavier finding out about this after the apartment was paid for or could have sent them a two hundred and fifty pound bond refundable after fourteen days minus ten pound administration fee really after having my money for nearly a month . To me this isn’t justified at all just a bit of money grabbing from home stay .

Really enjoyed staying here. Just as described and so quiet and peaceful. <br/>Only a short taxi ride into Malton for the food festival. <br/>We could have walked if we were more mobile. <br/>Would definitely stay again. <br/>Thankyou.

It was cold as only half the radiators seem to work. Very angry that despite promises to the contrary 8 days after check out we still have not had the £240 refund (minus £10 charge). <br/>Overall property was nice enough but these two issues a sorry let down.

The property was really clean and spacious. The facilities in the property were excellent. There were a few minor issues, extractor fan in bathroom not working, stitching on the sofa which i reported, but apart from that it was a safe, quiet area and definately worth staying in the property.

We enjoyed our stay. It's a 30 minute walk into Malton but there are footpaths alongside the road. The only negative comments we have is that the bathrooms were both cold (it was -4 C outside ) and the apartment was missing a bottle opener. Otherwise a very nice stay.

Pros: Interesting history of horse racing. Large apartment with a beautiful main room. Peaceful location, a 30 minute walk to Malton (not the 10 mins described).<br/>Cons: after booking we had to complete a security deposit with either a non-refundable arrangement fee of £10 or a £25 waiver. This is not on the Airbnb details, and you can't cancel Airbnb booking you lose 50%. The £60 cleaning fee is excessive. The bathrooms and kitchen were very clean but there were dead flies and ladybirds on windowsills and kitchen floor. There's no lit sign from the main road to tell you what drive to take. There is no outside lighting, key safe was difficult to find, the yard is rough underfoot, you need a torch. No central heating and only 1 small electric radiator was on when we arrived, it was freezing in bedrooms. The hot water is operated by an on /off switch. The sofa had a hole in it. No fire alarm in main room, it had been removed. WiFi doesn't work. Ok but overpriced fees

Oversold in photos and description by Host & Stay. Not a particularly well maintained property. very dark outside property with no external lights working.
22/10/2023
overall a lovely place to explore from, good central location , very spacious accommodation, the WiFi not so good which made planning our days a little trickier than we anticipated, but managed all in the end, would recommend

Lovely owner & property -we would like to stay again however we did have a couple of concerns:-<br/>The entrance door has no latch or Yale so literally had to be locked every time. Only one key is provided so it did make it inconvenient when part of the group wanted to go out -when it’s an upstairs stable conversion locking people inside didn’t seem right or pulling the outside door too with a cardboard box behind to avoid it blowing open/letting the heat escape wasn’t ideal. <br/>The property took a €250 bond which was fine but the management agents £10 fee & 10days to reimburse said fee seemed excessive & not what we have experienced before

Perfect location for us.
20/08/2023
Would 100% recommend staying here. The area around the apartment is so private and quiet day and night. It was perfect for us as we have family that live 10 minutes from the apartment. It is really big as well, such a spacious apartment. Everything was really clean and the host was really helpful with recommendations. It had everything you need. <br/>Would 100% stay here again.

Widger Mews is a fantastic and excellent value holiday rental which is a must for horse lovers especially. <br><br>My husbands first words as the first to enter the property were "all I can say is WOW". The location is fabulous for those wishing to use it as a quiet base to make day trips out to the NE coast and York. The apartment is warm and homely and very practical for a family of four, with the bedrooms at the oposite end of a long corridor from the living area. Perfect for relaxing in front of the box with a glass of wine after the kids have gone to bed. There are a few little areas that would benefit from improving, which I have fed back, but nothing that would stop you loving this accomodation as we did.<br><br>If any of you are horse fans, you will love being in the heart of an area with race horse stables all around you and in fact right next door. Our girls loved watching the horses being ridden past the apartment every day to be taken out for their dailly exercise and training.<br><br>Honestly, don't hesitate in booking this holiday rental. You won't regret it!
