The location to all the things to do in Whitby was great and central
We’re do I start ,the entrance upon arrival there was a big pile of pigeon mess before you even enter the cottage and also fag ends and rubbish ,upon entering there we’re at least 4 bolts on the front door but only one worked ,the baseboard Infront of the fridge was missing ,a cleaning cupboard under the stairs was in full view ,the log burner (no logs supplied ) had not been cleaned out ,the door of burner didn’t close properly and no poker or brush etc ,upon going to get cutlery for meal we found only enough knife and folks for three guest when there were four of us ,paint all coming off on stairs like it had been mouldy ,stair carpet needed cleaning ,dirty marks on side tables and dressing tables also mould in showers , a lot of these points had been made over a year ago but had still not been sorted by host and stay ,and as you can expect we will not be staying in a host and stay cottage again ,and defiantly not this one

Lovely cozy little house, great location. Perfect base for a family stay and much more enjoyable than a hotel.
A couple of fixtures and fittings like the shower doors could do with updating but these are very small details

The location was convenient and it looked nice on the pictures.
The 25 quid damage deposit,honestly the place is ready for a refurb and nothing like the pictures, once we actually found the cottage as the directions were awful.we discovered not only is it nothing like the pictures but it's right next to a night club that plays music until 2am.. ,it certainly wasn't clean with cobwebs in multiple places ,mould in both showers,and very dusty. We also found a dummy just under the bed when we dropped something and it rolled under there,aswell as a tablet of the medicinal variety..not ideal if you go with dogs or children. The beds were awful almost like they were made out of old slinky's,as previous reviews have stated,as were the sofas.the walls downstairs have had mould wiped off near the stairs but you can still see the spores coming through, downstairs under the stairs is exposed and full of boxes and cleaning products,I'm not sure why as they clearly weren't used. There is also a second door downstairs which would have helped to keep the noise out but it is currently hanging off its hinges and can't be shut,the main entrance door the top left panel has been kicked in and repaired very badly, certainly wouldn't regard the property as secure. The plinth near the fridge needs re fitting ,the floor downstairs was sticky,the TV unit is peeling,the middle bedroom carpet was stained as is the stairs carpet. Also the majority of the internal doors that are on their hinges are difficult to shut,if possible at all.. the middle bathroom cabinet had toothpaste stains from the previous guests where they had stood electric toothbrushes up,and the upstairs toilet the handle spins all the way around before it flushes. The windows were also mouldy throughout. The stairs also are nowhere near what I would regard as pet friendly,never mind friendly towards children or the elderly.there honestly is probably more but this is just off the top of my head.

Delightful cottage, centrally located. Absolutely ideal for exploring Whitby or as a base for the wider area.
A little more attention to dusting and hovering.

Situated near the harbour, very convenient for the town, comfortable bedrooms, nice bathroom facilities.
Heating system took a long time to get going, not really powerful enough for February. There was a log burner - but no logs! TV setup was unusual, we weren't used to a Sky box.

Lovely little cottage, great location.
Living room door didn't close properly so when you were sitting in living room it was very very cold. Only other issue we had was the stairs, quite narrow and steep, I know nothing can be done about them but worth mentioning in case you have mobility problems.
7.0
Good central location and quiet. Warm in winter. Sky TV not Freeview. Modern bathroom showers etc.. Booking agent (Host & Stay) gave very good information.
Wi-fi poor ( 300kbps when tested). Stove would not close properly. Strange collection of cutlery, OK if you only use spoons! Furniture rather old.

Very central, cosy cottage. Bedroom was spacious.
No parking anywhere near property. Blind in living room fell down not long after getting there - although it had looked like it had fallen down many times before as the paint was chipped around the window. Odd bits of paint/plaster missing around the place. Crumbs on the sofas downstairs. Downstairs was very cold even with heater on full blast. Shower had no pressure at all. Internet also didn’t work, we were connected but it had zero signal.

The location was great, very central. The property has a lot of potential but was not in good repair or as clean as it might be. There was an additional charge for property insurance from the letting company which wasn’t mentioned , expected to welcome.
The furniture could be in better repair. He showerhead in the bathroom was dirty. Opened sachets of body wash were left in the shower, not sure how this complies with Covid or hygiene policies. The mattresses were worn out. Additional, unexpected charge from letting company.

log burner door latch was broken and the door didn’t seal at all. this could’ve been really dangerous! property looked and could’ve done with a lick of paint here and there.

the location is ideal. bang in the middle of Whitby! a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle! it was semi clean, and for somewhere to change and rest your head- it will do!
loved the no extra cost for dogs! well done threadneedle!
starting off with the smell of damp, which is bearable, just a smell throughout the cottage.
the furniture is the cheapest of cheap-which is fine as it does the jobs, however the beds. for the love of Mike, the most uncomfortable beds!! they sink, and can feel every spring! and once you get as comfortable as you can, you realise you can feel the top of the divan! please, change the mattresses!!!
in the first bedroom, there was an mysterious odd wet patch on the floor (no where near the window) we wasn’t able to work out where it came from-it was wet for the entire 3 days we were there! maybe one of whitbys many ghosts?

The location is brilliant, close to the train station, shops pubs and harbour. Lovely little cottage in a cobbled alley. Everything we needed for a 2 night stay, could have stayed longer. We took wood for the fire, very cosy.
The Cottage appeared loads bigger on the photos but is was so cute you couldn't help but fall in love with it.

location was superb. clean and tidy. quirky property.
bird poo outside front door should be cleaned between stays. they obviously sit on the sky dish directly above door. very awkward to get in an out without treading in it and bringing it into property.

The location was central
The Cottage was starting to show signs of wear and tear, it’s was a bit dingy due to the location. The stairs came off from the main living area and there was no door for the under stair storage, all the contents were on display, Henry the hoover, mop bucket, ironing board etc. This array of housekeeping items met us every time we walked through the door, and we sat next to them whilst eating. The sofas were tired and generally the cottage needed some TLC. It’s was nicely renovated overall and was modern, on first appearance it looked positive, but once Staying it revealed it was looking a little jaded.

Stayed two nights previously in another cottage fab place, moved for one night to this cottage which was just as good.
Very clean 2 bed 2 bathroom fabulous. Will definitely be booking this lovely cottage again, again left us tea, coffee & milk
There was nothing to not like, perfect for what we needed
8.0
Very small but quaint property & great location close to the harbour & town centre restaurants, shops & bars.
Lovely relaxed but modern decor, nice soft furnishings etc & modern & well equipped kitchen.
Host & Stay we're very helpful with all the local information such as parking, cafes & restaurants & attractions. I checked a few things over the phone with them & they were really helpful & great hosts.
Perfect base for sight seeing in whitby & easy walk to most of the main attractions & shops etc
Would be nice to know the history of the cproperty, we guessed it was probably an old fisherman's cottage with being so close to the Harbour.
The noise from the local bar on Saturday night. Very loud live music till 2am. Not great for a family with kids but no problem if you're there to party for a weekend.
The noise on Sunday night was quieter & finished around 11pm.
We're not dog owners but the lounge floor near the fire was still covered in white dog hairs from the previous guests.
Not an issue for us personally but the stair case to both 1st & second floor is very steep. Worth considering for people with limited mobility or younger children.
All in all we had a great stay &.would use Host & Stay cottages via booking.com again without a doubt.

Location was perfect! Right in the middle of the town, everything you need right on the doorstep. Very easy check in and access via the key code box. We got exactly what we booked and thank you!
5.0
The location was very close to the town centre
The construction going on in the adjoining property. On speaking to call centre staff they said that the neighbours had not made them aware of this. Surely it is up to the owner of the property to know what is going on in the close vicinity and if they don't, the cleaners/maintance staff should report this. It was a total rip out with heavy duty drilling starting at 8 in the morning. Had we been notified that this was likely, we would have reconsidered our stay. The noise from the pubs that the cottage is extremely close too was also an issue. The lounge/kitchen is very very small and would really only be comfortable for short stays for 4 people
The stairs up to the bedrooms should be described almost as a spiral staircase. Anyone with any kind of mobility issues would struggle to get to the toilets or bedrooms and it would be hazardous for young children too. The toilet on the landing looked lovely but trying the shower, the riser rod fell off and the shower head was leaking water. The toilet roll holder fell off and the toilet seat was not secured so when you sat on it, it would fall off the base. The WiFI was almost unusable and my husband recorded it as 6kb/sec! I notice now that this has already appeared on reviews and should have been dealt with or removed as a viable option
