Host & Stay - Harbour Mist Cottage

The quirkiness of the house and the atmosphere and comfort of the upstairs sitting room.

The downstairs sitting room (as you enter) smells musty and damp. It is not convenient to have to eat downstairs when the kitchen is on the first floor…perhaps consider changing the layout? Also, it was impossible to change the shower temperature (which was too hot). There is nowhere to hang used/damp towels.

A well presented little cottage, clean and well equipped. Location is excellent for walking into town.

Parking is difficult and the property was hard to locate as we arrived in the dark. The dining table is on the ground floor but the kitchen is on the first floor which made it difficult when taking food to the table. The second bedroom is very small and cramped and the second single bed is short in length. This room would be much better with only one single bed. The sliding door to this room needs a sign or should be left open when guests arrive so that it is clear that it slides rather than opening in/out.

We couldn't get the TVs to work so just watched catch up

Can't fault this lovely little cottage. It was very well presented & had everything we needed for a short stay plus a washing machine & cleaning products for those staying for longer. The smart TV's meant we could chill out watching a film on Netflix after a day exploring Whitby & the surrounding areas. Location was 10/10 - just a short walk into town plus there's a very nice chip next door.

NA - this property definitely exceeded expectations.

The location was good for visiting Whitby. The decor in the house was nice and the beds were comfy.

Beware of all the hidden fees in the small print. You are charged a cleaning fee of £60 but it was clear that the property was not professionally cleaned as there were bits all ove the kitchen counters, plates were dirty and mould in the shower. They insist on taking a £250 damage deposit and then charge you a £10 admin fee for sending it back to you. Hosts were there 15 mins before checkout time, stood at the door waiting for us to leave which made us feel rushed.
