Great Habton Cottage

Very cosy and quite loved the log burner little walks out it was perfect

Grapes Inn up the road did us a superb meal. Highly recommend

Lovely little cottage, home from home lovely local friendly pub within walking distance.

peaceful location comfy beds Good as a base to explore yorkshire Nearest pub restaurant closed on Mondays and Tuesdays

The cottage is beautiful, the location is very quiet, everything would be perfect if it was clean We pulled the sofa forward to be closer to the tv and it was filthy behind there. The shower head is covered in grime and needs a deep clean, the bathroom walls have toothpaste splatted on it, around the basin made me feel sick, please ask the cleaner to clean the whole way around the sink. The lamp in the bedroom is draping with cobwebs. The shower only does scorching hot or freezing cold.. definitely needs some maintenance. I am not writing this for everyone to see, it’s so taht you can get this sorted for the next customers. It is not pleasurable staying somewhere dirty

Great Cottage, with all the facilities we needed for a family break Relaxing surroundings - a pleasurable stay in north Yorkshire Convenient parking, Clean and Tidy , little girl loved the bunk bed. Beautifully decorated throughout. Home from home. If you are eating out Sundays, need to eat before 4pm limited choice Cottage is fabulous and done to a high spec, however in need of some tlc in areas to maintain the premium cottage rating it truly deserves.

Lovely little cottage, perfect for couple or small family. Just down the road from Flamingo land, super comfy beds, lovely location. Would love to know what brand the master bedroom pillows were, my wife hasn't stopped going on about them Nothing in particular

The location was lovely, in a quiet rural area close to Malton & Pickering. Check in was easy although we had to pay a £25 non refundable damage deposit to get the check in details, which we preferred over the other choice of £250. We arrived at the property on Friday at 11:30pm to be greeted with an infestation of slugs in the kitchen and living room, please see photos attached. We then spent the first hour removing the slugs and cleaning the property. Not only this but the general cleanliness of the property was severely lacking, from cobwebs, dead insects to various stains throughout. The bathroom had a mouldy shower screen and grouting also needed cleaning. From a party of 5 we were all exceedingly disappointed, especially in light of the price we paid. Whereas we appreciate this is an old cottage where you may get the odd cobweb, we don’t expect to clean it upon arrival and be worried about germs during our stay. We still have not heard back from anyone and wouldn’t stay again.

All the constant emails and instructions multiple times Advised about what goes in what bins - but where were they?

Quite a cosy cottage, comfy sofas, and nice having a wood burner. Couple of issues but we're sorted immediately via host and stay Bath was a wee bit grubby. Tiny rooms..not like the photos , they looked big in them.

The location is really nice, very close to Malton in a beautiful rural area. The kitchen has many things for cooking, there living areas and bedrooms were comfy and they were very nice. Overall we really enjoyed our time there. Everything was very nice, just a couple of simple details that I think can help in future: there was only 1 toilet roll for 4 people/4 days so we had to buy a pack, and although there was washing liquid there weren't sponges to do the washing up, so again we had to go out to buy some. Not a great inconvenience, just mentioning it as it's an easy fix and it helps to have basic things, specially if you get in the place late :)

A very comfortable and well-appointed cottage which would be lovely and cosy in the winter. Not sure you could park two cars outside, but parking further down the street wouldn’t be an issue.

Lovely cottage within strolling distance of the local pub serving great food and a short drive to Malton Boiler went awry but the owners did all they could to try and rectify this and helped us out with heaters and lots of logs for the burner

The property was very clean and very comfortable No issues with the property

Overall nice cottage in a good location for our needs.

The cottage was in a small quiet village but central to York and Scarborough, with Flamingo Land only a couple of miles away, so lots to entertain the g/kids. The local pub served a good meal (except Mondays and Tuesdays) and welcomed children to dine there too. There isn’t a local shop within walking distance (so be aware to take supplies) but basic tea,coffee sachet milk were provided. Everything we needed was available to hand and importantly clear instructions on how to use each appliance. All worked well! Communications with the agent on anything we needed to know were excellent. Even the WiFi worked! The bed was so comfortable we searched the make online to get one for home ? We have a lovely time in September cottage. Thank you! An extra loo roll would have been handy.

Comfy little cottage perfect for a family of four . Close to local attractions and in a pretty village. Lots of kitchen equipment for self catering. Host and Stay sent several messages during the stay via Booking.com asking us to book another night at a discounted rate. Sending this message once would have been adequate.

Property was clean and tidy and great location to flamingo land to were we were going I would highly recommend staying here

The cottage was very nice and comfortable. We never did the TV to work very good but that did not matter to us. We messed up thinking we were staying another day and took the keys with us on our sightseeing but the host, Chris, worked with us and we were able to extend our stay long enough to remove all of our belongings! There could have been some small amenities in the kitchen such as a roll of paper towel and some facial tissues. I know this seems trite but the nearest store to purchase same is about 15-20 minutes (that we knew of).

Made our own If we stayed longer

Stunning cottage, perfect for a weekend get away in Yorkshire with a small family. The place is well equipped (our daughter is 10 months old) and there was ample facility and space. The pub down the road was lovely and just a couple minutes walk. The check in instructions were disjointed and the cottage was tricky to find as the wrong address was listed. Albeit it was down the road. I would definitely return and get a better experience now knowing where to find the cottage and what to do before setting off.

Great little cottage, suited our requirements for a Christmas shopping break. The plaque on the cottage is deceiving, it's named September cottage not Great Habton cottage. What made it even more confusing was the key box pin code that we received from booking.com was incorrect. If it wasn't for some friendly neighbours, we would have struggled to find the place. A phone call to Host and Stay solved the incorrect key box code. Issues you dont want to face on a cold, dark, rainy night after a 3 hour drive.

Beautiful cottage, very quiet, peaceful setting, close to the pub. Cottage was professionally presented, it even had a Christmas tree and decorations. Nothing.

Beautiful cottage, great location. Suggest clarifying the location in the village before arrival, especially if due to check in late at night.

The jacuzzi bath was very popular from the 5 year old to the 71 year old. The property was always referred to as Great Habton Cottage. This was the property we struggled to find, even when google maps insisted we were there, all we could find was September Cottage. Eventually we noticed September cottage had a key safe and the key code we had been given gave access to the cottage. Even inside, notices referred to Great Habton Cottage. Very confusing. Post codes are even worse, please start using What3Words to guide people to your properties. It is so accurate it will lead holiday makers quite literally to the doorstep. Couldn't get the dishwasher to work, seemed to be out of rinse aid ? But not a problem as we had very little washing up for our brief stay.

On arrival, we had to wash all the pans, pots and cutlery as there was coffee stains down the outside of the mugs and food on the cutlery etc. All the worktops were sticky, the coasters were stuck together ! The cottage was lovely but not clean !! The cobwebs especially in the main bedroom were everywhere. A real shame as the cottage was let down by the standard of cleanliness.

Wonderful town and area. Very scenic and lots of walks to enjoy.

Such a beautiful stay in a lovely cottage which had everything we needed. The location was perfect for a quiet getaway, close by for day trips into local towns and also made a trip to Whitby. Really comfy beds and so quiet which allowed some of the best nights sleep we’ve had in a long time! Also can’t recommend the local pub highly enough, food and atmosphere absolutely perfect. Thanks for a lovely stay, would definitely visit again and so lovely that we could bring the dogs with us, thank you!

Quiet location with parking space, a cosy cottage. Comfortable sitting room. Good sized light bathroom with bath and shower. Kitchen very well equipped. Main bedroom well fitted out. Second bedroom was very small with bunk beds, so not suitable for two adults wanting separate rooms. There was nowhere here to put your clothes, not even a chair. Bathroom - the washbasin was very high and had no plug so not useful for anything.

A beautiful well located cottage, for Yorkshire walks, Flamingo Land and many lovely towns and villages. A stones throw really, in car. The premises are very well maintained, plenty of room for 3-5 people, good modern equipment. Nice value for money local pub only 400 metres away .. Just the job for a relaxing few days. many thanks highly recommend.

Nice place to stay for a couple of days and appreciated that we were allowed to bring the dogs. The kitchen is really well equipped and was very clean. There is even a potty for your child in the bathroom. Nice little village. No backyard but able to take dogs/kids out around for walks or for other activities. Comfy beds. Would recommend. Host really great at replying for questions even on week-ends so very good really.

Very clean. Was so close to flamingoland aswell which is good. Nothing

Lovely little place in the countryside a 10 min drive from Flamingo Land (the purpose of our stay). Beautifully decorated, comfy beds and equipped with everything we needed. We weren't sure what to take with us in terms of tea, coffee, washing up liquid etc but everything provided including dishwasher tablets and coffee pods for the machine. The kitchen is fully equipped and even had a slow cooker so we utilised that for after long days out. Other reviews commenting on the damage deposit. We were aware of it before booking, it's clearly stated in the information that it is required and I can't blame them for doing it either to prevent anyone not respecting the place. You don't get bombarded with emails either as some other reviews put. I think I had 4 or 5 but they were all valid and then 2 more whilst we were there making sure all was ok, reminder about checkout and then a final to leave a review. Nothing I wouldn't expect! We as a family of 5 loved our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again! Not that it would prevent us from coming again but in terms of cleanliness there were quite a few cobwebs. Otherwise it was very clean.

Beautiful cottage, well kitted out for everything you could need. We loved it!

Great place! Very impressed with the equipment for kids - plates, cutlery, cups, 2xhigh chairs, baby bath, non stick bath mat, potty, travel cot! Peaceful and friendly village location. Clean and well decorated house. Comfy beds.

Great house to stay in. The kitchen layout with practical - as we cooked in house, the beds were comfy. Lovely décor. As per other reviews, the booking requirement to pay security bond (which was unexpectedly high) as an extra step, via a third party service after we had already paid upfront and arrived in-country, was a debacle. Even though the booking says "The final price shown is the amount you will pay to the property." - make sure you read the Important Information section. There is also a non refund amount and it is not clear which amount this is. A month later we and do not have our refund. If you travel and use an esim, you will not be able to pay this bond as an overseas visitor. We had to arrange someone else to pay for us. While "Host n Stay" were sympathetic, the lack of flexibility in this process threatened us keeping our booking - even after multiple calls and emails with the online payment service. We never spoke to the owners. The anxiety this placed on us prior to us arriving, not sure that we had secured our stay was unacceptable. However, the property was lovely and met our needs really well.

Lovely cottage in a quiet village. Lots to do in the area.

A lovely cottage, we have really enjoyed our few days away.

A great little cottage with all the facilities needed. Would be happy to stay there again.

The location is ideal if you're visiting Flamingo Land at only an 8 min drive away, the cottage is very well equipped and very cosy. Has everything you need as well as some nice extras such as the wood for the log burner, throws for the sofas and lots of kitchen equipment. We really enjoyed our stay. The booking experience wasn't the best in my opinion, I hadn't realised that I would need to pay a £250 deposit or pay for a £25 insurance waiver. You get hounded by the company really so the lead up to the break is almost spoilt. The floor boards are very loud so if you have an early riser in your group then prepare for everyone to be awake. Also there was no phone signal, which was fine for us mostly as they have good wifi however we ordered food and the company cancelled our order because they couldn't get in touch with us. None of these things are deal breakers but worth to consider.

Nice place, quiet location. all amenitiesas described.

Great stay, as advertised.

Lovely cottage. Great few days for our family of four

Fab thank you!

we enjoyed the space . we will be back

Superb cottage with every facility you could need. Beautifully clean and comfortable!

Absolutely stunning cottage! It was perfect for our stay in the Moors, very spacious in excellent condition, and the most comfortable beds. We really loved our time there and would definitely recommend. The pub down the road, The Grapes Inn was also worth a visit, really nice food and cosy feel to it.

Gezellige en comfortabele cottage met zeer complete uitrusting.

Stunning cottage, lovely location, and great communication. Home from home, thank you

A lovely cottage with everything we required for our short stay. An excellent base for our visit to flamingoland and in a lovely quiet residential area. I would definitely consider visiting again.

Lovely property, quiet area. sat out front to watch the stars as it was so dark. Awesome sight. Pub down the road did lovely food albeit expensive- peppercorn steak = £26! Only had two takeaway options. As it is rural - we got charged £11 just for delivery!! And it was cold.

A lovely little cottage in a nice and quiet location.

Excellent house, perfect location for Malton, Flamingo Land and Castle Howard. The host was great and i had good communication throughout our stay.

The cottage was filthy. Basically the beds had been changed and that was all. The small bins hadn’t been emptied. There was cobwebs and the kitchen floor hadn’t been swept so I left it in the state I had found it. Very disappointing.

When the electricity problem was sorted it was okay. The cottage name was incorrect and caused a great deal of time wasting and inconvenience as no one knew where the cottage was. We had no signal on our phones. Eventually we looked around for key safes until one worked on a cottage called September Cottage. The electricity sockets bar one in the kitchen were not working which impacted on being able to use the 3 TV's, wi-fi and bedside lamps. Our first day and evening and part of the second day were ruined as we waited for an electrician to arrive. This was a holiday we had looked forward to. We have filled in a complaint form and requested a 50% refund from the owners. As yet we have not had a reply.

A lovely, clean well supplied and appointed cottage. The pub nearby does wonderful food. We really enjoyed our stay.

location electricity ring circuit went off on Saturday then came back on by itself but went off again on Sunday am and was still off when we left at 9:45. There were spiders webs and crisps under the table in the lounge. Bath was dirty with hair in plug hole. Cutlery and pans were dirty

Lovely cottage in quiet surroundings. Cutlery and crockery were a bit dirty but otherwise very happy. Would come back

lovely decor well equipped Alexa and good tv channels no private garden area

Nice little cottage in a quiet location near a pub Cottage wasn't cleaned prior to our arrival so excited toddlers we're diving into someone else's dirty bed linen to 'choose their room' before we knew there was a problem. Dog hair everywhere. Company was barely apologetic and offered only a £15 per person reimbursement which was then withdrawn by the company in poor faith. Though it was cleaned by a 'new cleaning company' there was no checking on us afterwards or any real apology. The poor service really ruined the stay.

Cosy cottage and great location for what we needed, close to flamingo land for sons football tournament. Plenty of amenities and nicely decorated, felt at home.

This is a really nice cosy property which has been thoughtfully decorated. Really well equipped kitchen with everything we needed - even scales - and a jacuzzi bath which was great after a long day in the countryside! Nice quiet location - we never heard our neighbours and could hear all the birds outside. Nice large bath towels. Cosy blankets in the lounge. Nice big dining table. Easy to find. Would stay again. pillows weren’t very comfortable- a bit too solid for us! we couldn’t figure out how to get the coffee machine to work! I received a lot of identical emails from the rental company about payment even though I paid in full upfront through booking.com. finally, I didn’t like SUPERHOG - the company used for onboarding - as they tried to get me to sign up to Ts&Cs I thought were unfair. but I called the rental co and they just said I didn’t have to sign them - so I didn’t!

The location was lovely + quiet The double bed front bedroom mattress ,was very hard + uncomfortable . Also the two sofas in the lounge were uncomfortable when sitting watching tv. There was no hand grab rail ,in the bath to help you get in or out of the bath or shower

Everything Nothing

Lovely cosy cottage is nice location, extremely handy for Malton which has an abundance of unique shops and cafes, Supermarket and plenty of takeaways to choose from. The cottage is on the small size but is more than adequate for a family of four, cleanliness could be improved slightly but not to deter from the cottage itself, it is not privately owned therefore lacks the usual final touches. We used it as a base for taking the kids to Eden Camp which I would highly recommend and is less than 10 mins drive away. The local pub, The Grapes, is also recommended for a drink and food.

Very quiet and peaceful location. Beautiful cottage in a convenient location for accessing some beautiful walks. An ideal size for us with 3 adults and a dog. The host was very organised, friendly and ready to help if we needed anything.

Had all necessities you would need Provided high chair and cot upon request No safe area to walk dogs Very small space

location was good, pretty village, good pub, close to tourist areas. cottage attractive, bed comfy, modern interior downstairs hadn’t been cleaned, dog hair in kitchen and living room. hard to get a hot shower in morning, due to water pressure in the village. We had to either get up early or wait until later. also had to actually climb into bath to turn shower on as glass door wouldn’t open, only then to find it was cold. Made it difficult with 4 of us, to get out of house at a reasonable time. The first morning we hand to wash over kitchen sink! upstairs landing was very creaky, which didn’t bother us much, but could easily wake small children or disturb others if using toilet in the night

Location and cleanliness Much smaller than anticipated and in no way could 5 sleep there despite what they claim as only 2 rooms. Also, it would have been nice to receive at least some milk on arrival given the nearest shop was 6 miles away. There is only 1 shower that was very poor andinedfective. Not great for family use.

I absolutely love this cottage....perfect for our little easter break The mattress in the master bedroom was a little uncomfortable

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. We had an amazing 2 night stay. Can really also recommend The Grapes in Pub (2 min walk) for food. Our one year old also loved the horses in the near by field! We’ll be back! Xx

Quiet location but good road links to local attractions. Facilities at the cottage were good. Electric shower - water pressure disappointing.

Nice and cosy. squeaky floorboard and no travel cot.

Amazing property. I’m 6 months pregnant and was desperate for a tranquil weekend away with my partner and pooch, which is just what we got! Lovely location too.

We are return customers and have not been disappointed. Perfect size and great amenities for a short stay with our young family. Close to lots of attractions and the village of Malton is lovely. We’ll be back. Thanks.

Wonderful cottage with everything you need for an enjoyable cosy stay.

Nice comfortable stay

Our family and pup spent four days over Christmas at the cottage and loved it. Beautifully decorated for Christmas and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our festive feast. Very cosy, comfortable beds, lounge perfect for relaxing and logs were supplied for the wood burner. Nice walks nearby. We’d happily return.

The cottage is lovely and in a nice quiet location, comes fully equipped, sofas and bed comfy. As per other reviews the cleanliness wasn’t good. Cob webs, dirty draining board, taps heavily lime scales, dishes and cutlery not clean. Shower is electric and poor flow, ok for a quick shower but difficult to wash hair etc. Such a shame as would happily stay again if it was clean, need to think about sorting that out as lots of people have mentioned it and doesn’t seem to have been sorted

Fabulous cottage with many extras. Alexa for a start! So comfortable and a super log burning stove to make the sitting room cosy in the evening. We loved it, one of the best we’ve stayed in

My partner and I booked a four night stay at summer cottage with our two children (7) and (5) and the family dog. The cottage is in a rural village location but it was a great location as a base for our planned days out (NYMR, Dalby Forrest, Scarborough, Whitby). The cottage is small, but in my opinion, a perfect size for a family of 4 for a short break. It is well kept, cosy and welcoming with all the modern touches (Amazon Alexa, Smart TV, central heating etc….). The contact from the host was excellent and I have nothing negative to say about our stay. It felt like home from home and I would happily make a repeat booking.

Really fab little place, great location! Lovely house! A real pleasure to stay there.

Make sure you bring a travel cot mattress with you if you are travelling with an infant as Stay don’t provide these, much to our surprise. The cottage has a nice kitchen and amenities are good. It could do with a proper clean, however, in areas around and under couches/ beds. Location is fine if you use it as a base to drive to places. Looked like a nice pub in the village but we didn’t make it there.

Lovely cottage, clean and well equipped for our short stay. Easily accessible with parking space, horses, cows and sheep in adjacent fields which kept our dog interested! Beautiful weather while we stayed and cottage was ideally located for trips to the coast. Would definitely look to return if in the area again.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely, quiet location. Perfect location for all tourist attractions. Extremely clean cottage with everything you need for a great holiday.

clean cosy cottage quiet location. well equipped kitchen

Lovely small modern cottage with great local attractions. Maybe needed a little extra clean in some places but bedding and towels lovely and fresh. Well equipped kitchen. Great value for 3nights. Horses in the field opposite, situated in a quiet little village :)

Fabulous house and cracking location. Enjoy future guests!

The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a short break. Easy to find, ample parking and lots of nice little touches to make the most of the space.

A wonderful cottage, in a quiet peaceful location. The cottage was ideal for us (a family of four; kids 7 and 5). Super clean and super cosy.
