Host & Stay - Harbour Cottage

Close to the sea.

Cottage smelt quite damp... Especially the sofa which was quite worn. Steps needed another handrail.

Great location & well equipped property

Some cleanliness issues with bedding, bathroom & kitchen area.

the location of the cottage is fab.pitty about no private parking but thats to be expected in a small fishing village.it doesn't stop us coming back to staithes many times.

we enjoyed our stay in the cottage but a few things need to be sorted.the weather was poor (nobodys fault) but there was no mat either side of the door to wipe your shoes,the switch at the bottom and top of the stairs for the landing light tripped the fuse box so we didn't use them,there didn't seem to be any hot water other than the shower.the cushions on the settee where stained even when we turned them over,the electric hob was really complicated to use but maybe that was just me being not good with electric appliances.the big annoyance though is the hidden costs.we had to pay £30 up front(non refundable )or £300 deposit before getting our key code.we didn't know about this before we had already booked and payed for the cottage.this disgraceful way of booking cottages needs to be addressed,sorted,and stopped because the owners should already have adequate insurance cover in place.if they haven't then they shouldn't own holiday homes.

The location was stunning, very close to the harbour and the pub

The lights kept fusing and there was no hot water for a day and a half

Lovely cottage and great location.

Lack of parking.

Location

The stairs were a scary and we had to really think about what we were doing going up or downstairs

Wonderful location very clean and modern yet quaint.

Couldn’t really find fault.

Cottage was ok but after booking through hotels.com I was contacted by Host & Stay and advised I had to pay an additional fee for a damage waiver. Alternatively I could pay a deposit but they take an admin fee so you don’t get the full amount back plus they state they may take 14 days to refund.

Position is excellent. Was well equipped and comfortable. Plenty of towels. Very clean

The shower needs upgrading

Location fab only a few strides from the harbour and the Cod and Lobster pub which serves lovely food. Huge portions.
