Host & Stay - The Cobbles

I like the cottage, i love the village. It was easy to get in and the heating system is excellent.

I stayed here with family in around summer 2020, we loved the cottage and have visited Osmotherley many times. Returning this time was a disappointment, i had read other reviews that said the cottage wasn't well cleaned and I'd have to agree. It needs a thorough deep clean and a lick of paint. The bottle bin was full when we arrived and there was a full drawer of clothes that weren't ours. We had hoped as we were there early December that the Christmas tree would be up, it wasn't. There wasn't enough logs to even have a starter fire, there were none, luckily we took our own. We ran out of toilet paper the first day (there were 6 of us). The sofa's need either renewing or repaired the seats were almost flat. The 'rug' under the coffee table is paper thin. There is an awful stain on the huge lamp shade in the living room, visible from outside. The garden could have doubled as an escape room it is like a jungle. It is only my opinion but i think that there should be blinds at the patio door and covering the front door, it is straight onto the main street and everyone can see in. I think that's enough to be going on with, i would definitely stay again if it was titivated up a bit.

The location, the space and lovely comfy principal bedroom. Plenty of towels, lovely bedding and enough coat hangers plus lots of power sockets and two hairdryers.

The garden needs to be tidied, walls need painting, a proper floor clean where you move furniture and not just clean around them so a deep clean, cutlery is cheap and nasty,. Advised by a villager we shouldn’t be parking on historical cobbles so notified Host & Stay who would take that on board for future guests.

The house is lovely, spacious, well presented. The open space downstairs works really well keeping our family all together. Good available parking. It is situated in a beautiful village with glorious view and lovely walks. Good communication.

It wasn't very clean. Very dusty in places and plenty of cobwebs. I would say it is only surface cleaned between each stay. Also some of the kitchen cupboards need a clean. The garden 'in my opinion' is overgrown. I think the wild flower look is trying to be achieved but it just looks messy and uninviting. 1 dishcloth, 1 tea towel, 2 dishwasher tablets and 3 toilet rolls is not enough for a family of 5 for a week. The bins didn't get emptied as the day we were told to put the bins out was the wrong day!

Another visit to this great holiday let

Garden a mess...there rustic and there's rustic.. furniture well past its best outside and no sun umbrella..for a premium price not good.

Lovely cottage. Great location

No basic supplies. No local information. No instructions about garbage etc. very basic linens. Only 1 tea towel for six people for two weeks and same with towels. Extremely disappointing.

The property was in a lovely location in a beautiful little village and it’s a good size

The property was dirty I had to go and buy some cleaning products to clean up myself the house hadn’t even been hovered and never been mopped for months on end there was cobwebs everywhere thick dust in every window sill and shirting board the kitchen floor was filthy dirty garden all over grown the light in the bathroom was flashing the kitchen table was disgusing I had to bin the cloth I wiped it with it was black with dirty and the walls are ready for a good decorating.

Been here now 8 times...location is great and house has all you need.

It's feeling tired now and I feel we can make this as an objective comment..some of the fittings are decidedly old...the cleaning was not to a full standard...the garden needs work and the cooker hob is pitted...we tried to clean it....its a shame as we have happily paid top money for this place...lots of rental properties in the village now for sale...maybe the margins are not there now....and the investment cannot be made...we last stayed in Feb this year and made some similar comments...no real sign of moving forward and at £1000+ it's now a balance if the value is still there...we love it and will put up with it...just feel a bit sad tbh.

We had to move the sofa and it was filthy behind so not sure how deep cleaned it was...this our 8th visit.

As above

Lovely spacious accommodation with comfortable beds & lounge area. Location was excellent with parking at the door & local pub/restaurants just around the corner

Overgrown back garden- no window covering or opaque glass in main bathroom & hardwood chairs/wooden bench at dining room table.
