The location is very good and is quiet, also we were able to park our car near to the house which offered us peace of mind in terms of security.<br/><br/>Nothing really, the bed was a little uncomfortable but that was only due sleeping on a softer mattress at home. <br/>The window in back bedroom nearest to the bathroom also needs attention as we were unable to open this due to a broken lock and the electric socket nearest to this near the wardrobe is very lose and needs attention.

The unit was not too bad needs maintenance and investment. However Host and Stay a singularly rge worst organization in the holiday booking market and should be avoided at all costs you will regret using them if anything goes wrong

Location was good, walking distance to the centre, However, not suitable for people with mobility issues, stair are steep.<br/><br/>Mattress on king bed was hard

A good space to stay in, location good if a little uphill. Not really set up for self-catering though as kitchen lacking a range of pans etc- also no bread knife - but ample plates, mugs etc if all you want to do is sort breakfast before going out for the day. <br/>Excellent over-bath shower & generous supply of towels for a 10 night stay<br/><br/>Cleaning equipment - hard floors could have done with being swept every few days but there was no broom/dustpan & brush

Excellent experience, communication was fantastic! House was in perfect location and really great size for all the family to enjoy.
08/08/2023

Cleanliness of the house. Location was ok.<br/><br/>The rear yard needs some attention. Clean the floor and paint the walls. It would be more inviting to sit out and share a bottle of wine. Get rid of the false flowers and tree in the yard, as they look cheap.

The location was good.<br/><br/>We didn't dislike anything.

Leaving the place.<br/><br/>Access to bathroom is lethal. Bed on floor, no legs to it. Plaster flakes all over beds and floor plus screws sticking out of walls. Extremely steep staircase to second floor with no handrail in places. Main stairs also steep. Loose electrical socket. I could not stay due to the dangerous bathroom access so completely ruined my weekend. Only 5 dining chairs in 6 bed house.

Comfy beds. A Warm and cozy house.<br/><br/>The dinning chairs were very unsteady.
27/03/2023
A great location. Easy walk into Whitby centre. Lovely clean warm and spacious house<br/><br/>It was a little difficult to find a parking spot but once we got one we left the car there and we didn’t need the car again.

It was warm for part of our stay<br/><br/>Toilet seat was broken and had to be removed by us, tried to repair it but was reluctant as it had dried pooh on it so obviously not cleaned properly. Central heating stopped working so had a few backwards and forwards emails so had to follow manual to re set. Easy enough but not what I was expecting.<br/>House up a steep incline so not for anyone with mobility issues.<br/>Also didn't appreciate at least 6 automated emails telling me check out Time.

Good location<br/><br/>A bit tired, stairs to top floor very steep.

it was close to the town centre with a good choice of close by shops, literally streets away.<br/><br/>The climb back up the hill
30/08/2022
Location was really good , beds comfy, house good size and clean.<br/><br/>Not so good for people with poor mobility.. The stair arrangement at top of first flight of stairs and the bathroom was a little difficult ton negotiate if you were unsteady on your feet.

Washer was broken so couldn’t wash under 4’s soiled underwear and general clothes. <br/>The court yard was filthy and not been swept for a long time, so had to sweep it before little one’s go go outside
22/07/2022
The stairs and the steps between the landing and the bathroom would be difficult/unsafe for a less mobile person.
17/07/2022
Convenient place for our family of 6 as we visited Whitby and other coastal towns.
27/06/2022
The size was good and in good proximity to the town centre. It had everything we needed for the weekend.<br/><br/>There was a wobbly chair and only 5 chairs altogether, had there been 6 we would have struggled. The rear yard could have more done to it
21/06/2022
Property was clean and position regarding Whitby was good.<br/><br/>Kitchen equipment was lacking, Drain in the yard was partly blocked. Instructions on using cooker, and washing machine would have been helpful. Washing machine did not work properly. No curtains in the front bedroom so light came in. Cupboards were clearly not checked as there were 3 broken glasses.and some of the crockery was dirty - bearing in mind £90 of the rent was for cleaning.<br/>Just to say that we have never complained about a property before. Did you hire cowboys to do the maintenance?<br/>Also we do not think this property is suitable for people with mobility issues or young children.
12/06/2022
Handy for town. Managed to get parked close by which was good
15/05/2022
proximity to centre of Whitby. well equipped, well presented and clean internally<br/><br/>would have liked a mirror and somewhere to hang clothes in the top bedroom. <br/>stairs configuration by bathroom was a bit dodgy - needed care to avoid any accidents! <br/>outdoor area was not fit to use.

There`s a step going into the bathroom which one of us fell over,there needs to be a sign on the door Mind the step.Apart from that it was a nice place in a good location.
11/04/2022
Location was ok.<br/><br/>There were a few issues with the property, <br/>Toilet roll holder and towel holder were loose on wall. <br/>Shower head was leaking. <br/>Toilet lid/seat had to be held up when taking a pee. <br/>No curtains in 2nd bedroom to block light. <br/>Cheap dining room chair broke when it was sat on. <br/>Curtain pole brackets were loose in dining room. <br/>Door to bathroom location is dangerous - should be at least 600mm from first step of staircase - my partner nearly fell down the whole stairs when she missed the step coming out of the bathroom. <br/>More attention to upkeep of property, could do with a maintenance man to correct a few issues.

Great location and lovely property! Hosts were very easy to communicate with and very responsive.

comfy, great location, easy to find, easy to work heating etc, good instructions and helpful information provided<br/><br/>dust under the sofas and behind doors when we arrived . otherwise very clean snd wel maintained
03/01/2022
There was space<br/><br/>The property went for style over comfort. The stairs were steep and unsafe when going to the toilet in the dark. it was not pet friendly. The light switches are a problem as you have to go up the stairs in the dark before reaching the switch. <br/>There were minimum pans, no instructions how to use the cooker, no cafetiere, minimum number of chairs. The main room did not seat a family of 6 with a dog. What seating there was, was uncomfortable.
06/12/2021
Good communication with owners prior to the visit.<br/>House was clean and comfortable.<br/>5/10 min walk from the centre
24/10/2021
Clean and cosy place in a great location within walking distance of everything. There’s a nice friendly pub literally 30 seconds walking distance from the property. <br/>The beds in the property were very comfortable, had a great nights sleep.<br/><br/>Not a negative on the property but parking can be hard work, best bet is to park up and leave it there for the duration .Parking in Whitby can be hard work in general anyway .
22/10/2021
Bedding very clean, heating good<br/><br/>Sofas uncomfortable stair carpet dirty hall had dog hair's lack of crockery eg egg cups and pyrex dish for the microwave.

Great location, short walk into town and close to restaurants, bars, shops. Spacious bedrooms, well equipped kitchen. Only issue is parking which can be tricky at busy times. we were lucky and managed to get a space right outside the house.
