  It's a beautiful village in a fabulous area. I liked the cottage interior apart from the niggles listed below. The crockery was quite nice. Loved the Rosella mugs! How long have you got? The initial entry sequence around the back was most unimpressive - walking past services, wheelie bins, other open bins and so much old junk that should have been skipped years ago. There was no bread knife supplied and no man sized towels either. The main living room light wasn't working. The internal step is a tripping hazard. The attractive external sitting area shown on Booking.com for this property didn't actually exist, so the cottage exterior was actually misrepresented. That's unacceptable. The lack of an external sitting area and the mass of wheelie bins was a massive disappointment. That desperately needs to be re-organised by the introduction of a bin store that needs to cover up the unsightly external services too. The stairs are extremely steep and don't comply with modern building reg's. I expect you'll tell me that these are the original stairs, so that would explain that. The grille pan was left in a disgusting state by the previous tenants but your cleaners couldn't be bothered to wash it. I cleaned it for you. There were no instructions for the oven or hob but I figured it out. The TV's are installed far too high in the living room and bedroom - I will probably have to get my neck worked out by a chiropractor due to having to tilt my head up so high to view them. What on earth were you thinking? This is a cottage not a pub bar or an airport departure lounge!

  The location of the property was excellent within easy walk to the sea front, town centre and the local pub, which was literally next door. Access was easy albeit we had agreed an earlier arrival which caused a little confusion but all sorted. The layout of the accommodation is great but be aware there is a cast iron spiral staircase to the upper level so may not suite everyone. the kitchen is very well equipped with everything you may need and the added bonus is having the courtyard, particularly great if you have a dog and would be fantastic had we had a little more sun to sit out on the evening after days out walking. Shower is fantastic and more than enough storage space for clothing etc. Fab stay and will definitely be back. Thanks! Nothing really to dislike. Perhaps take out the single chair and put in a two seater sofa in the lounge area if possible as it was slightly cosy for two adults who wanted to stretch out in the evenings. By far not a deal breaker to be honest. The bed was great but the mattress for us was very soft (personal preference!). What would be a great addition is a BBQ to make the most of the outside space in the warmer months and maybe a small outside cabinet to put muddy boots.

  Cottage itself is lovely, situated in a very lovely part of North Yorkshire. However, our stay was disrupted by having to deal with the cleanliness issues we encountered upon arrival, mainly within the kitchen; it simply had not been cleaned at all from previous occupiers. Looking at a few reviews elsewhere on the internet for this property, it unfortunately does not appear to be a ‘one-off’. We raised these immediately with ‘Host & Stay’ but after a day or so, it was informed to us that the issue was not able to be resolved during our stay, prompting further action from our side. While we did get our ‘cleaning fee’ back (as a result of escalating to Airbnb, hot Host & Stay refused to refund anything). It doesn’t really compensate not being able to use the cottage as a self-catering facility and the amount of time spent between Host & Stay and Airbnb trying to get the issue resolved, which did spoil our time away somewhat. While the 20% discount on future stays with ‘Host & Stay’ was appreciated, it doesn’t unfortunately tempt us based on this experience. Overall, lovely property in a picturesque location but just a shame on the experience we had. Hopefully others will differ and be much better.

  On opening the gate I was surprised to see a spacious courtyard and a well presented living quarter that was off the side of a large say Victorian era house. Entering the accomodation there was a welcoming card ,chocolate biscuits,milk and a loaf of bread supplied by the hosts whom I met a little later giving me a warm welcome and then left me to my hols ...nice people. The accomodation was quite spacious with a large open kitchen ,dinning room and comfy living room with TV. Up the spiral staircase you enter into the one main bedroom again a big comfy king-size double bed plenty of pillows clean bedding. Off the bedroom was the modern bathroom all kept well hot running water great large shower ,towels , toilet rolls and soap packs The courtyard was secure enough for me to let the dog out and the accomodation is situated about 5 mins from the beach front and is in a nice botanical gardens type of area. There is a bar just round the corner that looks popular and serves food also if you carry on up the road just round the corner there is a convenience shop(Morrisons). All in all great value for money off road parking and I would and hope to stay here again!!! The foggy Scarborough mist ??
