Honey Cottage

Enjoyed our stay

Location<br/><br/>Not clean , I have taken photos and will be contacting the property. Some photos shown below

Although the property is quiet small it had everything you needed and more. Having the lovely courtyard at the back and bench at the front was great, we could catch the sun anywhere. Only a short walk to 2 pubs. The food in the Badger Hound was lovely, ate there both nights. Great walk to Runswick Bay along the cliff tops.<br/><br/>Nothing to do with the cottage it was great. What I didn't like was Host & Stay making me either pay £30 for 'breakage' insurance or having to pay a large deposit for damages which I would get back in 14 days minus £10 admin fee. I think this is a rip off and makes me question whether i will book another Host & Stay which is a shame as the ones i have booked have been lovely.

Honey Cottage was lovely. Location is great with beautiful coastal walks. Front garden and back yard are small but very pleasant.

Lovely cottage and location for a break on the North Yorks coast.

Lovely stay in this beautiful little cottage. Very comfortable and homely.

Perfect location if you happen to be attending a function in Hinderwell Village Hall which we were.

Lovely few days away with my little girl, great location for exploring lots of beaches, coves and bays

Few essential items missing; oven gloves and stove glove - we have to use the only tea towel in the place as a replacement for both so it got dirty quickly mix. Also - seemingly only wood / coal for one night - perhaps there was more but not clear

Easy walking distance of pubs and public transport links<br/><br/>The boiler came on in the afternoon but when it went off it got slightly cold. I was unable to start the boiler again due to there being no instructions. The log fire was a nice touch.

Lovely little spot.<br/>Perfect as a little hideaway from the hustle and bustle of normal life.

Cosy cottage, very comfortable. Just the right size for us and our two dogs<br/><br/>Nothing

A cosy little bolt hole with excellent facilities close to the North Yorkshire Moors and picturesque Yorkshire Coastline. Can’t go wrong!

ideal location<br/><br/>stringent check out date - hoped for a level of flexibility under unforseen circumstances

Mattress needs replacement <br/>Toaster didn’t work<br/>Bathroom waste pipes partially blocked<br/>Mould around bath rim<br/>Bathroom fan not working<br/>Bath plug chain missing<br/>Tiles in the bathroom loose<br/>Toilet seat loose<br/>Cistern valve fault<br/>Bathroom rad air locked needs bleeding <br/>Boiler noise due to above??<br/>Stairwell carpet loose<br/>Mouldy inside dormer window frame

The location the parking and the price in comparison to other options.<br/><br/>The damage waiver/ deposit policy.<br/>The toaster needs replacing

Nice and quiet

Good location.<br/><br/>Very small for 3 adults. Very expensive for what it is. Toaster didn’t work.<br/>Very uncomfortable beds. Dark marks on sheet on double bed.

Lovely place to stay and the cottage was great. I’d like to say that above all the owner, David, was responsive, helpful and quick to sort out the problem of a power cut when we arrived. He was very apologetic and reimbursed us for the inconvenience, without prompting. Host & Stay however were less than helpful - on contacting them in the first instance they sent me a very generic message and then failed to respond to my reply, simply sending me an automated message asking me how my check in went. I had an apology from another member of the H&S team the next morning but by then I’d already sorted the issue by liaising with David and a neighbour. In contrast to the personal and helpful response I got from David - who I only managed to contact after being given the number by the very helpful neighbour, Host & Stay’s service was poor. I don’t have a bad word to say about the cottage or about David, which we’re both great - Host & Stay however were less than satisfactory.

Beautiful little cottage in very pretty village. Good proximity to lovely nearby beaches, Staithes, Robins Bay, Whitby, Saltburn on Sea.<br/>Great!<br/>Thank you.

Beautiful cottage. VERY clean with everything you could want for your stay. Lovely comfortable beds with fluffy pillows....best few nights sleep ive had in a long time !! Lovely location, ideal as a base for exploring the surroundings. We loved that there was a notebook in a drawer that some guests have written in, it was lovely reading what they had written on where to go and what to do., places to eat etc. We took their advice and had wonderful meals out locally.....just a small idea that made a huge difference....and the owners stay periodically and read the book too which is lovely. They take note and look into any suggestions made by guests and write their own comments in their too. <br/>All directions and entry instructions were spot on.<br/><br/>Not saying I didint like it...but a suggestion i made was the seating area out the back could benefit from somekind of sun/rain cover....in my opinion....but this is by no means any kind of complaint !!!

Hinderwell is a lovely and very friendly place. The pubs there and at Ellerby were good and the food fabulous.<br/>It’s a lovely place to explore the area from

Honey cottage is a beautiful little cottage on the North Yorkshire coast, perfect for dogs with Runswick Bay a pleasant 20- 30 minute walk away.<br/>The buses were a great success, pick up just outside made a day in Whitby with our dog so easy. <br/>There is no shop in the village so be sure to bring stocks with you.

Lovely cottage in quiet neighbourhood. Only a short bus ride to Whitby<br/><br/>Everything was fine, but Perhaps they should have been a card explaining how to work the shower as we found that very difficult. If you’re not used to an electric shower it’s hard to work the switch and also the immersion heater can be mistaken for a pull cord to a fan. We turned this off inadvertently, hence having no hot water for one day.<br/><br/>Then we realised that we had to leave this on. Otherwise I could not fault of the stay.?Perhaps they should have been a card explaining how to work the shower as we found that very difficult.

Lovely little cottage with off road parking and a sweet yard to sit in and relax in the sun. <br/>Host & Stays communicated well and promptly.

Cute cottage very well and thoughtfully decorated, had everything we needed, the outside courtyard area was lovely<br/>Great area, so beautiful the coastline and villages

The cottage was really homely and cosy and the perfect size for us and our little dog. <br/><br/>The location was really good as it provided the perfect base for exploring the surrounding areas. <br/><br/>It had everything you needed in terms of kitchen equipment and the patio area in the back was secure and really private. It also included a dog washing tap out the back which was really handy after being at the beach.

Lovely cottage with private garden. Everything really good apart from the shower wouldn’t work at all. <br/>I would definitely return here as it was very homely and close to lots of lovely beaches.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Very clean and cosy with everything you need for a short stay. Love the courtyard outside, looked lovely with the fairy lights.<br/>Close to Staithes and whitby, great location for exploring the area.<br/><br/>Nothing!

Good location, cosy cottage. well equipped kitchen, good mattress/linen etc<br/><br/>A bit small.

the location was excellent. Most of the facilities were great.<br/><br/>There were two stains on our bedding. they had clearly been washed but two stubborn stains could still be seen. Would have been nice to have a small freezer even if in the top of the fridge.

Charming holiday home in a lovely village. Very close to beautiful Runswick Bay and coastal walks. Host was extremely helpful and provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay,

The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need, for a short to medium length stay. The location is well placed for Whitby, North Yorkshire Moors and the coastal towns; with a regular bus that stops just out front if you don't fancy a walk. It has off road parking and considering its on a main road you can't hear any traffic because it's set back. We would visit again.<br/><br/>Having to deal with Host and Stay and their requirements was a bit tedious. As with all the reviews, be aware of the damage waiver [£250 refundable + £10 admin, or £25 payment]. I'm also allergic to dogs and found I was occasionally being affected by it, there wasn't any smell but considering the £60 cleaning fee there was hair in the carpet etc.

The location was good for visiting other areas. <br/>Bus stop a minute away which meant you could go to Whitby etc and save on finding a parking space. <br/>Well laid out with and clean kitchen had all you needed ( could do with some egg cups ).<br/><br/>The mattresses very uncomfortable with the springs poking you whenever you moved. <br/>A mattress topper may improve the situation. <br/>Bathroom a tight fit for more than one but served it’s purpose.

Lovely cosy accommodation, very clean and nice area. Great information pack from the host and very friendly.

Lovely cosy cottage with nice outside space. The bathroom is narrow, as are the stairs but that's to be expected in an cottage and wasn't a problem at all for us, just something to be aware of. Host and Stay do request a fairly chunky deposit which I feel is unnecessary (particularly when you're already paying £60 for cleaning) and not something we've had to do for other Airbnb stays. There is also a £10 admin charge for the processing of this. Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Honey Cottage though, comfortable bed, clean and tidy and has facilities to wash muddy paws and boots in the courtyard at the back.

Honey cottage was beautiful. The location is perfect for visiting a range of gorgeous seaside towns. The house itself had everything we needed and was decorated to a high standard.
