Host & Stay - Shipwrights

Comfortable and a great location.

We loved location was 2 minute walk into town

Where do i start. Upon arrival we paid 29 pound for insurance so we looked into damages stains etc done prior to we getting there. There was mould in batbroom lino was black with dirt and had been effected by damp so was lifting the toilet seat was broken, there was what looked like blood stains on both bathroom carpets. Going into kitchen there waa mould on oven top sealant a big gauge in front door and handle was broken to toilet. All in all a very bad experience.

Location was good, 5 min walk away from town

The tv remote didn’t work, frying pan was disgusting, furniture was grubby, bathroom was very tired. Reported remote & frying pan to hosts, nothing was dealt with during our stay.

Location was good, just a 5 minute walk into town. There was a designated parking space but it was quite small, not too easy if you have a bigger car. The location is quiet, no road noise or noise from any people/bars etc, just seagulls, which is the soundtrack to any UK seaside holiday. One of the beds was comfortable.

I was disappointed with the cleanliness and condition of some elements in the apartment. The bathroom and living area could benefit from a deep clean and some maintenance; the toilet seat was loose, some furnishings were stained or unclean, and a few fittings were rusty or dusty. One of the mattresses was also very uncomfortable. Although these are all relatively easy fixes, they did affect our comfort during the stay. Small touches like a welcome pack (even just a pint of milk or some biscuits) would also have been appreciated, as they’re common in other local rentals. With a bit of attention to detail and care, this could be a really lovely place to stay. Unfortunately, as it stands, I wouldn’t choose to return.

Generally good level of cleanliness (especially bedding, towels and inside kitchen appliances) and well-equipped. Dishwasher was a bonus and big fridge and freezer. Parking space was provided (although some issues with access)

A bit stingy on providing some essentials such as only 1 dishwasher tablet, no coffee pods for the machine, no kitchen roll, almost empty hand soap in bathroom, no hairdryer. It’s not obvious from photos but the furnishings and some kitchen ware (cutlery/pans) very used. The kitchen seating benches were almost falling apart. The bigger bedroom mattress was really uncomfortable and worn so had to opt to use the smaller one (which was not ideal when sharing with a 1 year old). We didn’t get a good nights sleep all of our stay. We had a lot of issues with actually being able to park in the space provided due to works vans using it and the hosts basically just told us to find our own parking elsewhere when this was raised. Our main disappointment was we booked this accommodation as stated suitable for under 2s and families, however no high chair could be provided and no child friendly table wear.

All the facilities were good as expected as the flat is relatively modern and new. The property had little in the way of storage for clothes ,but this was a minor problem for such a short stay of 5 days. The property is well sited for the city centre being only a few 100 yards away.

Had great difficulty with opening the key box. It took half dozen attempts on arrival as well leaving. Did report it to host. Parking was also a problem being very tight. It was not helped that the property opposites being renovated with builders vans blocking the crescent. Also the Electricity Board had dug a large open hole to lay a cable which remained unfilled during our stay making it extra awkward getting out. Did also report this to host. A minor problem was there was only one toilet roll in the property with our having to buy extra as there were 3 of us staying.

Lovely apartment warm and cozy, great location. We had everything we needed

Comfy bed and decent location

Good location, nicely decorated, clean

Bathroom woodwork needs a touch up, but minor point

Comfortable, well equipped clean apartment. Parking space which is great in whitby. Excellent location- easy walk in to centre.

A few more wine glasses and some seating for the balcony would have been ideal. Some might find the bed a bit hard.
