Neighborhood
Staithes is the quaint coastal hamlet which was recently named one of Britain’s most beautiful seaside villages. It has high cliffs, winding streets and mismatched cottages bursting with charm.
The village is also known for its abundance of fossils which can be found along the small beach and in the cluster of rockpools. This area is nicknamed the ‘Dinosaur Coast’ as it’s packed with history.
Staithes is a magnet for art and artists alike. Throughout the village you’ll find amazing painted illusions known as the ‘Painted Illusions Trail’ created by the famous artist Paul Czainski. It is also the home to the impressionist art society, known as Staithes Group, and their work can always be seen dotted around.

Just needed cleaning properly...A little more TLC... Otherwise a lovely stay<br/>No washing machine or tumble dryer as per the site suggested.

Ich buchte die Unterkunft sehr lange im vorraus, allerdings wurden die Parkgelegenheit in der Zwischenzeit geändert: man kann sein Auto nur gegen eine Parkgebühr von 7,20 pro 24h am öffentlichen Parkplatz parken, der 8 Minuten Gehzeit (bergauf) liegt (im ursprünglichen Inserat wurde von einer Genhemigung gesprochen, die man erhalten kann; dies wurde jetzt geändert).<br/>Zudem hat die Unterkunft keine Waschmaschine, wie im Inserat angegeben; da dies für uns unbedingt notwendig war, mussten wir die Unterkunft wechslen. Obwohl die Kommunikation promt erfolgt ist, konnten wir keine gemeinsame Lösung finden, weswegen wir schlussendlich stornieren und eine andere Unterkunft suchen mussten. <br/>Insgesamt: schöne Lage wenn man kleine Häfen liebt, aber für längere Aufenthalte warscheinlich nicht gut geeigent (Parkkonditionen und Fehlen der Waschmaschine).

Location. Comfy bed.<br/><br/>Wasn’t very clean. Door handles had come off the wardrobes & drawers in the bedroom so not easy to open. Central heating wasn’t working (electric heaters provided instead). No free parking pass (company providing refund). Windows were dirty.

The house is in a great location in a lovely village, sea views from the bedrooms. We arrived to find a dirty kitchen, and no cleaning supplies to tackle it ourselves. Contacted Host & Stay, very slow to respond. Eventually offered to send someone to clean the kitchen but by this time (2 days later) we were due to check out. Middle floor bathroom light wouldn’t work when the landing light is on. Dishwasher in the kitchen but no dishwasher tabs or cleaning supplies.<br/>Also there is no parking permit as mentioned in other reviews. Parking at the top of the village at £6 per day. <br/>Has the potential to be a great holiday let, but requires better management and a little TLC. Wouldn’t use Host & Stay again after this experience.

Great location for sure, and this is a wonderful location. But… the house was for sale and I wonder if this has impacted some of the cleaning (cobwebs, filthy microwave and rusting knives). The biggest issue was construction going on next door and not being made aware this was taking place in advance (otherwise we would have cancelled). Lots of scaffold over windows, and banging/music going on - this would have been in place for several days/weeks. Stayed here before and love this place but this time it was really disappointing and I don’t think we’d return. Feedback sent and awaiting response.

The house was lovely and in a really great location. The listing has some inaccuracies - a parking permit for ‘nearby’ was mentioned in a couple of places which was partly why we chose the property but there wasn’t one and parking was up a steep hill and £6 a day. The guide we were sent mentioned steaming services but there was none on the main TV. I emailed the host about the parking and go to reply, only generic welcome and goodbye messages. We did think the house was great but more and clear accurate listing information would have helped.

could not get into property because no one contacted me about £25 breakages charge

Good location in the bottom of the village with views of the habour from the bedrooms. Spacious comfortable accommodation. Close to the amenites, a lovely little village with nooks and crannys to investigate through the hidden streets.<br/><br/>The cottage has a small back yard, nothing you would sit in, but it <br/>certainly needed cleaning.

Location was good, right in the centre of the village with views of the sea by the bedrooms. Large master bedroom. Good facilities overall. Clean except for the areas/items outlined below.<br/><br/>The windows were very dirty, as was the back yard, and the lounge rug needs cleaning. Some handles had fallen off cupboards/draws and not been replaced. It could use a washing machine as we discovered it didn’t have one and there was no laundrette nearby.

Good size accomodation and well equipped. Great location.<br/><br/>Back Yard very dirty. Sofas not comfortable.

Perfect location, good size property for a family of 4. It was good to have two bathrooms. The views from the top room were spectacular.<br/><br/>The property was naturally too hot for us, there was no heating on and even when it was cold outside the property was boiling. The dvd player didn’t work and we couldn’t find the outside bins. I didn’t like how host and stay try to get more money for a deposit/deposit waver, after you have booked. This might make me think twice about booking with them again.

great location but on arrival first impression not great - cold and dirty -see below <br/>other than issues below well laid out cottage, nicely furnished and good kitchen bathroom and en-suite facilities -the owners has refurbished it really well - the host company they use needs attention on maintenance and cleaning standards.<br/><br/>1. the OTT extra charges for damage waiver or breakages - it’s a money making con<br/>2. poor cleaning and maintenance by host company<br/>3. inflexibility of check in / out times and the traffic chaos 10am creates for residents and guest when cleaners can only clean one house at a time - the excuse used to get out by 10!<br/><br/>in detail so you can improve:<br/>dirty windows on ground level could’t see out the kitchen door - or lounge windows - took us 10 minutes clean so we could see out - basic stuff that on the ground level the cleaners could easily reach as it’s the first impression it creates- the lounge floor and carpet was filthy - dirty stains and not hovered - the TV cupboard with CD snd books was a mess as was the kitchen sink cupboard - no dish cloth , or cleaning materials and one tea towel - no hover to clean up either for longer stays with kids in and out but this may not bother others it did us as we like things clean and tidy and expect it when we pay for a holiday home of this level and rating.<br/><br/>The bed in the top bedroom kept collapsing - the slats from the bed kept popping out despite us putting back in twice - the loo seat in en-suite needs tighten up as it was hanging off - simple fix maintenance issues and the bottom of the wardrobe was full off untidy kept spare bedding for change over in a ripped bag - just shoddy.

Without question, the location of this property is absolutely wonderful. As is the view from both windows of the sea, the close proximity to the beach and the pub… wonderful! <br/>The house itself was also very comfortable. <br/><br/>I don’t usually have any grumbles, but with this stay unfortunately I do have. <br/>Lesson learned - read T&C’s in more detail. I frequently use Air B&B and have attended online courses re becoming a host myself, so was surprised when, after booking realised I had to pay a damage deposit of £250 (refundable) and then on top of that either a £10 (non refundable) admin charge or spend an extra £25 for extra holiday insurance that I don’t need. <br/><br/>As I understand it, AirB&B offer hosts amazing cover for damage liability. <br/>It seemed unnecessary to ask for such a deposit AND the extra charges I incurred after booking. <br/><br/>Grumble over. <br/><br/>??- Location<br/>??- Homely feel<br/>??- Views<br/>??- Warm and plenty of hot water<br/><br/>?- Extra costs <br/>?- No milk, bread, butter etc.<br/>?- Could be cleaner
