Host & Stay - Sleepers @ No.8

The property was spacious and comfortable -the sitting room was particularly cosy with a great sofa. The location was great for walking to the local shops and restaurants.

I did not like the booking process with Host and Stay. Numerous emails and a hefty damage deposit of £250. Check out was tricky due to the position above the bakery/cafe. When we were trying to check out there was a queue of people in the door way as well as a delivery person in and out of the same doorway. Parking is not as easy as the information makes out.

Comfortable bed, living room and bathroom and excellent location being above a fabulous tearoom with an amazing view of the train station.

Patio area was off-putting because it was full of weeds, needed painting, fence needed changing and slabs were unsafe and nearly caused an accident when stood on to move around the table and unsafe. The table outside also had big chip out of it. Inside the velux windows needed opening enabling cleaners to tilt it round and clean so that future guests can look up into clean windows. Bath with shower was lovely but shower hose is broken and when hot water tirned on it leaked nearly burning my hand. In the kitchen oven gloves are required and the large oven didn't work. Also cutlery and crockery need to be checked as although only for two people, four of everything would mean that the dishwasher could be used more economically.

Fantastic location and plenty of space in the apartment.

Nothing at all in relation to the property, even the parking wasn’t an issue. Didn’t really agree with the whole deposit set up and the £10 charge for setting it up. The property price was very reasonable so just add it to the price instead.

location and layout.

Toilet flush wasn’t very good

Great location for central Pickering and for exploring the area. Lovley to hear the steam trains from the station that was opposite the property.

nothing really, if i was nit picking I would say the cutlery and place mats were cheap.

A great location and a lovely place to stay loved all the furniture very tastefully done it's beautiful

Really dont want to write anything bad about this lovely place but dust on the wood work , and cobwebs , we picked around 15 cigarette ends up on the terrace and it needs a good weeding on the terrace but feel if it is written and seen it can be addressed

I thought the apartment was beautiful and decorated to a high standard. It was both modern but cosy. It had everything I needed for my stay and the location was perfect.

This is just to my taste but I did not find the sofa comfortable at all to sit on, it gave me and my boyfriend a bad back. That was the only negative thing about the apartment. I did also feel like the hosts were in too much contact with me throughout my stay, I was only there two nights I was getting emails and texts throughout my stay and I was perfectly aware of my check out date and time so I didn’t need informing multiple times.

Nice location to visit the NY Moors. Accomodation was pretty much as expected from website details.

Pickering itself was very quiet in the evening. Restricted opening times for pubs and eateries. Perhaps the cost of living / weather was having an impact. The same week (last in April) last year in Thornton Le Dale was very active in the evening.

So much space for two people! Loved the terrace which overlooks the tea room terrace but still felt private. Enjoyed being able to order from the tea room via their terrace door and still sit up there in the sunshine. Loved the roll-top bath, the sound and sight of the steam trains outside the window the comfy couch to watch evening TV from.

Only 'staff' contact was remote via booking.com app and not local at all, but they checked we were settled and happy at beginning and end of stay and available to act if necessary. I personally didn't like the step down into the lounge as despite a big sign on the door to the room I still forgot and miss-stepped a couple of times. Also having to go downstairs to the toilet in the middle of the night wasn't great but we knew that when we booked. It's a quirkly arranged appartment, and really nicely fitted out.

No parking that's all .
