Host & Stay - The Alby

We were a group of over 50 lol motorbikers who wanted to visit Whitby and ride the surrounding area. We arrived at this great property with everything you need and more. Spacious for 7 people. Very much home from home. 10 minutes from town centre accessible for all shops and sightseeing. 2 parking spaces provided. Host & Stay who managed the property have excellent communication from the minute you start your booking and would certainly recommend. More than likely will return. The area for riding is amazing 👏

Nothing at all. We were so very impressed

Sleeps 10...comfy beds. Well fitted kitchen.

Very unimpressed with the property. There is a God awful smell in the house...coming from the basement level....kitchen and living room but permeating throughout. Absolutely ruined our holiday. A serious damp problem.  Secondly, the rugs/carpets are very badly stained..especially in the lower bedroom room nearest to the front door. I took photos because I was so aghast and the skirting  boards are filthy. I know it's September -  the end of the summer season but an air bnb should be in tip top condition 24/7.  The crockery/glassware was fine but the house sleeps 10. The 2 sofas seat 6.  There were always people without a comfy seat.  Who wants to sit on a hard bench?  There was only one set of keys. The doors cannot be opened inside without a key. I left at 5.30 this morning but the others left later. How was I supposed to lock the front door after me? If I put the keys in the keysafe, how would the other family members locate them? They were then locked in! An absolute health and safety issue.  Like wise the back door. I had to wake someone up at 5 30am to lock the door behind me.   Yesterday, my husband went out and locked the front door and took the key with him as we were going to be apart for the day and I would not be home to let him in. I said I'd use the back key.  I sat in the back yard with a drink but then the sun moved to the front. ButI could not I not access the front!  I voukd walk through the house but thefront door was locked. So I had to pick up my glass and walk down the back road, round and up into the next road to sit in the front garden. But then could still not access the house, so had to walk back later.  Completely impractical. There should be at least 2 sets. Also we arrived to find a grubby damp towel hanging behind the en-suite.  Finally I do not think the advert makes it clear enough that it is unsuitable for disabled guests.  We were very disappointed.

Lovely accommodation, good location, everything we needed in the house is there. Kids loved the room, comfy bed, toys to play well spacious kitchen plus dining for 6 people. Thanks we had a lovely stay in Whitby, bonding with friends and family.

None

The property was in a great location with good sized bedrooms

The bottom floor which includes the kitchen and living area smelt damp and had to be aired out by us

Comfy beds and sofas. Spacious kitchen area Good shower and nice deep bath. Close to centre of town. Room for parking 2 cars

Broken door handle in one of the bedrooms. Broken/loose light pull in bathroom, dangerous, needs fixing asap. Table and bench seating in living room too large for the room, made it far too cramped. Not very clean, surfaces in kitchen and the table top were sandy when we arrived. Needs a blind in the bathroom, felt very on show at night as there was no window covering. Alot of rubbish, plastic bags etc where we parked the cars, looked a mess, not a great first impression.
