The accommodation was very smart and comfortable. The beds and bedding were of superior quality. Wonderful view. The location is perfect!<br/><br/>Not much at all to dislike. A touch tiring as the accommodation is over 3 floors..but we knew that.<br/>A couple of kitchen items missing..sharp knife, wooden spoons, a colander, but hey, we managed..oh, and the large clock on the wall without a battery..if I'd had one I would have changed it. <br/>Just needs a little TLC, but all in all, it's a really lovely place to stay..

Fantastic property in a great location within easy reach of everything in Whitby

The location and view over the marina in Whitby. <br/>The large choice of bedrooms.<br/>Stylish well-equipped kitchen.<br/><br/>The bathrooms needed a deep clean, showers had blocked drains which smelt and were not clean in the corners. Dirty towels left in bedroom. Clean ones as well though! <br/>Not very personal or efficient dealing with a company by phone not the owner when help required or issues needed sorting. <br/>Non-refundable damages deposit had to be paid, irrespective of whether the house was left tidy and in good order. <br/>The top floor had no blinds or fans and was uncomfortably hot in July sunshine. The windows didn’t open in the house, (no key?)and the upstairs door stuck at one opening only.

The location of the townhouse is fantastic and a huge bonus to have the open living area onto the balcony with great views of the river. Its in easy reach of the town.<br/><br/>The rooms were smaller than what they appeared to be on the photos and the front bedroom was very hot with only 2 working windows. The noise of the seagulls in the early hours of the morning 4am was quite annoying so ear plugs would be recommended so not to be woken. The overall decor could do with re-doing in places with attention to detail as the photos look superb. We had to hoover on arrival and there was no made bedding for the sofa bed or sheets to use. If you have a car it only accommodates one small car in the garage, not a 7 seater like ours.

Could have been cleaner <br/>……bathrooms a bit shoddy ……no coffee machine toaster didn’t work no oven cloths and useless can opener

Location/balcony & beds were good<br/><br/>I will put a more detailed description later but if you are in this property now I feel sorry for you, front ensuite floor grimy, bathroom overflows-informed Host & Stay immediately with no response so I rang them about the kitchen bin/cupboard smelt of sick and was told it had been bleached then told I could go in the cupboard and throw it away-I did not want to touch it, toaster does not work and other things broken. pairs of pants and socks in the drawers (not ours)-Host & stay do not care-they have your money! The £10 admin fee to take your money is a scam I have complained as all of this has made our stay here ruined they will not return my damage money until up to 14 days when it was clearly cleaned yesterday! Ive seen other complaints and a fob off replies from Host & stay saying sorry. If this is your property get rid of Host & Stay! They are running it into the ground and could not care less about you or the people staying there.

Location<br/><br/>It was unclean, bins not emptied, nuts left on the floor, holes In the bedding, mould in two showers, carpet have not been hoovered, ashtrays full of cigarettes, stick substance on the sofa. We had to fully clean the property on arrive to use it. <br/><br/>There was No blind in the lounge so unable to sit on the sofa due to the sun. There was lots of noice from the pub and house next door. The front door is not safe for kids as they can turn the lock and get out it’s not a key lock <br/><br/>I rang to complain with no answer, I emailed a<br/>Complaint which took well over 24 house and they offered me a cleaner at 5pm the night before leaving. I I was asked to submit a complaint via email which I did, I was then asked to submit a the same information on a complaint form, meaning my complaint had been submitted via phone, messaging service email<br/>And a complaint form. It is not over a month since we have been and my complaint has not been resolved and I am not getting a response to me email sent over a week ago. <br/><br/>When paying over £200+ a night is not the condition or service I expect to receive.

Had aboslutly everything we could possibly need.
28/05/2024
The location was perfect and our view from the townhouse was fantastic. The kitchen had all amenities needed.<br/><br/>Could have done with an extra key because we were 4 adults and a child who wanted to be more flexible. Some shower caddys would be useful for guests to store their toiletries. One of the showers had a notice not to shower for long as drainage slow which needs attention.
22/05/2024
Spacious kitchen/dining table and sitting room with balcony big enough for 8 people.<br/><br/>Cafetiere was broken! Plus I couldn't find a sieve nor colander. <br/>No shelf in bathroom which was a pain for toothbrush n toothpaste n deodorant etc etc.<br/>Elaborate bathroom sink.<br/>Garage quite a neat fit for my car.

15/04/2024
We had a great stay. The house was comfortable, beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. The view from the living room and the front bedroom was fantastic! The house was in a great location and very close to the town.<br/><br/>Even with the heating off, the house was very warm, particularly in the twin room. It would be good to be able to open the skylight or have the use of a fan. <br/><br/>Another toilet roll in the main bathroom please as it is shared between 4 people .

Great location with beautiful view of the bay. High quality specs and communication was great. Would be happy to stay here again :)
04/02/2024
Lovely place everything was great until we realised the heating wasn’t working and reading the guest book they knew about it as the previous guests the week before told them. All in all we would return great location and lovely views of the harbour.

Lovely place and a great location overlooking the estuary. Very modern with great facilities and all the mod-cons. Would recommend it highly.
25/08/2023
Brilliant view of harbour spent many hours with doors open looking out. Location fantastic. House bri?iant. Recommend 10 out of 10<br/><br/>Everything. Such a well equiped and modern up to date apartment with top notch furniture and fittings <br/>Loved it loved it . Roomy so u could get away from others for some down time if needed <br/>.
24/08/2023
Lovely, modern house, has everything you need. Balcony is great, lovely views. Beds very comfortable. Very close to amenities.<br/><br/>3 storeys not really suitable for anyone not used to stairs. A bit too close to the pub next door, could get noisey. Also only 1 parking space for a place that sleeps 8 is not great.
14/08/2023
The location is great, just a short walk from the restaurants, cafes, shops and beach, but far enough away that it is quiet in the evenings. Would definitely return!
12/08/2023
Rodent problem
19/07/2023
Excellent stay. Fantastic balcony and view. Finishings of the apartment are outstanding and the location is great.<br/>Only improvements that I could suggest are earlier check in then 4pm and later check out then 10am

Amazing stay with friends and children. Will definitely visit again!

Fantastic location in Whitby with fabulous views over the harbour and a lovely balcony to sit and watch the world go by.<br/><br/>The booking system was a huge hassle in terms of trying pay the deposit and then wait a considerable period of time to get it back.
15/04/2023
From the moment we arrived we just could not fault a ything about the property<br/><br/>Have to say l was disappointed in trying to talk to someone about concerns l had prior to my visit very disappointing and persona7l don't consider texts as personal contact and please don't pre judge my response as an age thing as l have had 40 years in business development so have first hand experience in customer service
12/04/2023

14/02/2023
Comfortable stay, spacious, great location<br/><br/>Only problem was hot water tap on the bath didn't work so was unable to bath my young children
29/01/2023
Excellent property in a beautiful setting with great views. Host was great with communication and offered a fantastic guide book for property and location.
22/01/2023
The Townhouse offered luxury accommodation for our recent stay with friends. Beautifully equipped with quality equipment and beautiful home wares and artwork. We will definitely be back next year
16/01/2023
Perfect location, immaculate property, wonderful views.<br/><br/>Nothing, it was perfect
05/01/2023
Fantastic apartment, very nicely decorated and we had a lovely stay. Plenty of kitchen facilities, rooms were all lovely. Garage very handy but you can also park for free on the street opposite (just be careful though as when you get further up near the Fleece Pub the on street parking is chargeable). Easy short walk into Whitby with plenty to do and see. It’s not obvious from the property description but 2 of the double bedrooms are en-suite with a family bathroom serving the other double bedroom and twin room. 2 of the double beds are also very very firm so we didn’t sleep well at all but ok if you like a firm mattress. But that didn’t spoil our stay and we would certainly rebook the same property again.<br/><br/>Firm mattresses
02/01/2023
The property was so lovely and spacious the beds were very comfortable so much so I went today and brought the pillows and duvets they use! The company are very good and helpful and manage the booking really well. There is a garage its quite tight but we got our evoque in fine. There was lovely touches like nice toiletries and tea and coffee avaliable when we got there.<br/><br/>Doorbell didn't work so we had to watch out for our takeaway as living room on 3rd floor so wouldn't hear a knock
19/12/2022
the space the amenities were amazing. we didn’t realise the property was that big. the view of Whitby harbour was fantastic and the location made it easy to walk into town.<br/><br/>word of warning if you are bringing a big car it may not fit in the garage our mini clubman only just squeezed in
20/11/2022
Fantastic location. Parking space was a good addition. Great views of the harbour.<br/><br/>Hot water tap in bath didn't work, freezer was broken.

Lovely apartment with great views and plenty of space. There is a garage for parking one car which is very useful in Whitby, however the space is tight so would check with host if you have a large car.
25/09/2022
Excellent location, lovely accomodation,hard pressed to find anything more convenient with excellent view, very clean with good facilities.we will definitely be back to this accomodation.<br/><br/>Parking could be a problem if More than one car.

Beautiful accommodation, fantastic location.
13/08/2022
Views and location. Good beds.<br/><br/>1. Two bedrooms have windows that cannot be opened, no ventilation either. <br/>2. Top floor living room is very nice, with fantastic views, however, it gets unbearable hot in summer due to the large window front. Blinds or curtains would be a good idea to keep the heat out (it was more than 50 degrees in the room!) <br/>3. Kitchen utensils: one blunt bread knife- could do with a few paring knives to cut fruit and vegetables. Also only one wooden spoon- to cook a meal for up to 8 people, not very practical! <br/>4. Bin in one bedroom had not been emptied, kitchen bin was filthy and windows had a lot of finger prints on....
26/07/2022
We had the most amazing time. Whitby is beautiful! The Townhouse was as luxurious as the photos portrayed...It was wonderful especially the living room area with the balcony and amazing view of the harbour. It was so spacious and the perfect setting to help celebrate our moms 70th! I have a feeling we will be back!
22/07/2022
Great place and location to stay , the place was spotless. Amazing communication from the hosts. The only thing I would note is the car garage is very small and large cars would struggle to park in there.
21/07/2022
Brilliant apartment, very modern and had everything we needed. Perfect location<br/><br/>Garage was a bit on the small side<br/>Went on a really hot couple of days so maybe a couple of fans would of come in handy
10/07/2022
Fab house
29/05/2022
We checked in at 3pm and we had to be out at 10am not good value for money you pay for 24 hours and they want you out 5 hrs early! NOT HAPPY AT ALL LOCATION AMAZING Communication not so good was waiting over 13 hrs for the host to get bk to us in how to use the cooker as it was an induction hob. At the end of it all I watched a YouTube video to help me use the cooker. We probably would have still been waiting.Will be staying in Whitby but not at the town house as our experience was not so good.
24/05/2022
this apartment is fab <br/>the views are amazing<br/><br/>the bedrooms were hot in the early mornings
18/04/2022
What a beautiful place, the views and location are the best and a pub a stones throw away too which was nice & quiet on a night. Couldn’t fault the townhouse and will definitely stay again.
27/03/2022
Amazing , WOW factor , great place , great location , worth getting up at 6am and just look at the harbour . The town house is better than the pictures show , love our stay
27/02/2022
This property is in a fabulous location overlooking the harbour. We particularly enjoyed the balcony as the weather was glorious during our visit. We felt like we were abroad, which was fantastic!<br/>A few reviews have mentioned the pub next door being noisy but we didn’t find that at all. <br/>Great to be able to park in the garage and this leads directly into the property so fab for unpacking. <br/>The decor and furnishings are really top notch and the beds super comfortable. <br/>We had a really great family time away and I would definitely book again with host and stay.
16/01/2022
Wow- what a fab place! The views from the top floor living area were wonderful, and it was even nicer inside than it looked on the pictures. We were five adults and it felt spacious and relaxing to spend time in- it sleeps eight though, and that might feel a little busy in the living area. Communication was great and check in was super easy. It was spotlessly clean.<br/>The location is great, really easy access to everything in Whitby, but without feeling like you are right in the midst of the tourism. <br/>Our only regret is we weren’t staying for longer!
13/12/2021
Perfect location, spotless clean well equipped property. Will definitely be back.
14/11/2021
Super property, we all thoroughly enjoyed stying there for a weekend. Everything worked, the property was immaculately clean and spacious, great location. Absolutely recommend.
07/11/2021
We had a fantastic stay in a well appointed house with an amazing view of the harbour and beyond. <br/>It was big enough for our large party to fit into without feeling too cramped. The bedrooms were comfortable with lovely bed linen and towels. The bathrooms had great showers. It was very clean. We will definitely return.
26/09/2021
An excellent rental. Lovely modern house in a great location. Highly recommended!
12/09/2021
A great place to stay in Whitby. Brilliant location next to the water and easy to walk into the enter if town. The house was spotless, views across the harbour stunning and accommodation spacious and well laid out. Would definitely recommend.
03/09/2021
Lovely house, everything you could possibly need available.<br/>Good location, easy access to town, beach , buses, trains etc.<br/>We all enjoyed our first visit to Whitby and the accommodation certainly helped. <br/>We did recommend it to people we met and would certainly recommend it to friends.
16/08/2021
It was a lovely apartment with fantastic views of the harbour on the 3rd floor living/kitchen area. Location was excellent, it was only a 10 minute walk over the bridge on to the other side of the harbour where all the restaurants and shops were. The apartment was very well equipped and we were really impressed. All the basics were there, including kitchen essentials - oil, salt, pepper, sugar, tea, coffee, cutlery, pots pans etc, even measuring spoons and peelers, which was very handy as we cooked a few times. Our only negatives would be cleanliness of the bedding - we found a couple of stains and hair etc but once communicated, it was sorted promptly. The bin located in the kitchen cupboards wasn’t cleaned properly as there was a strong odour when we opened it. We resorted to spraying it and then buying a cheap plastic bin to use outside. The wifi could be better as the signal strength was poor at times and we would have to connect our phones to 4G instead and sometimes struggled to load and stream, e.g Netflix. Overall, it was very comfortable and the apartment is decorated to a high standard. We had a very enjoyable stay and I would recommend staying here, just a few little niggles that prevented it from being a 5.
07/08/2021
Very nice house just outside the town centre with great views over the estuary
29/07/2021
A fantastic family stay. Very clean, beautiful views and perfect location. Would highly recommend.
16/07/2021
Excellent location and views from the top floor lounge and balcony are great. Would stay here again. Perfect for family or a group of friends.
11/07/2021
The home and location were both beautiful, even better than the pictures. 5 minute walk from the beach and boat rides. Lots of lovely restaurants and bars nearby. If you’re a light sleeper i would recommend packing yourself some ear plugs, nosy pub next door and walls very thin but other than that we had an amazing stay.
