Location was brilliant, so close to everything you need.
Quirky interior, so many amazing pieces of artefacts to enjoy.
Facilities were fab, towels and bedding provided, beds really cosy, property nice and warm.
Well equipped kitchen. Alexa, too.
Loved the pac man,,, so cool
The on line guide was one of best Iv used, so comprehensive and easy to access.
Christmas tree was such a lovely touch- appreciated.
Happy it’s dog friendly and so much cleaner than a lot of other dog friendly properties.
An awful lot of love and care has clearly gone into putting this property together, and it was very much appreciated. So cute n quirky. We loved it.
Don’t let the front door put you off, it’s lovely inside.

Very spacious, clean and a lot of thought put into providing entertainment, which was great when we were there, as we had bad weather. Long time since I played on a full size PAC-Man machine. Also, a number of games and good tv selection, as well as Amazon music etc.
Big bedrooms and cozy warm everywhere in the apartment.
The facilities were very good and it’s unreasonable to expect provision of coffee pods, milk etc, which are all available from Sainsbury’s across the road. However, as someone has previously mentioned, there’s no frying pan. Don’t know if this feedback was ignored or forgotten about.

Nothing to not like would have been nice to have had some coffee pods for the machine

Location was good. Artefacts around house were interesting. Good collection of books. Good Wi-Fi. Lots of TV channels. Shower was hot with good water power. Good size towels. Easy access to keys and door.
Instructions on how to work the TV. Difficult for us to get terrestrial channels. TV in one bedroom not working. Bedrooms - no storage for clothes, poor hanging space. No frying pan. Entrance hall tatty. Too many stairs for carrying luggage up (we were both in our late 70’s).

No shower gel or shampoo, no washing up liquid, door handle loose. Too many things collecting dust. Shabby shower cubicle. Not practical Duvets were too thick and heavy.

Amazing place. We'll equipped everything you would ever need. Very quirky and artistic. Loads of space in every room. Tv is amazing. You've got to go to see why. Ideal location for shops beach and train station. Will be booking again.

It was very Quirky
I don’t think there was anything we didn’t like but could do with a blind in Main bedroom as it’s very light in morning at this time of year

It’s an amazing apartment in a great location. Really interesting place with excellent artwork, interesting books and great facilities. The beds were super comfortable. Parking is outside on the street but there’s plenty of room and it’s safe. Highly recommended!

Facilities were amazing, pac man was a blast from the past! The best property that we've stayed in at Saltburn.
The smoke alarms should have been replaced rather than removed.

Location perfect for bars and supermarkets and a very short walk to the sea front. Accommodation had everything we needed.
Very minor points which we raised with housekeeping for future reference. When we arrived at 4.00 pm on a cold January day the heating was set at 12 deg C. I can understand to save energy but should have been switched on in the morning as we didn’t get the place warmed up til v late. Secondly we struggled to open the inner door with the key which we could see had had some wear and tear.

Great location in the centre of town & easy street parking (beware of the Lime Trees!) close to all amenities, trendy craft ale & wine bars (bit pricey) & traditional pubs. Sainsburys & railway Station close by, good selection of smaller shops & coffee shops. Local 2nd hand market stalls at the weekend.
Then excellent facilities, ice cream, fish & chips, etc. down on the clean sandy beach, pier, funicular railway (good value £1.60 per adult). Also Miniature Railway short walk away, again great value (£2.00 per adult).
Checking in time too late (16:00) & Check-out too early (10:00) - feels like lost part of a full day!
Standard Damages Insurance Retainer £250 (refundable less £10 admin charge) - Question of transparency/trust without need to photo everything in property. Opted for Waiver Insurance £25 for peace of mind.

Netflix
Shower
Milk in fridge
Safety for young children (my son is 4) scissors on bottom shelf in kitchen
Skeleton picture in second bedroom (caused issues with getting little one to sleep in own room)
Only one dishwasher tablet
No detergent
Too many things that could get broken by little people, would have helped if owners had moved things higher up, given that they knew a 4 year old was coming to stay.
PAC man at top of the stairs= death trap, my little boy fell off the stool which is at the top of the stairs, ended up moving the stool into the kitchen to prevent him trying to sit on it.
Although if you have order children be warned there are lots of pictures of beautiful but naked women on the staircase.

Great location.
Lovely flat - full of interesting things. After 3 days it felt like home. Would recommend.
Would have liked small sharp kitchen knife. Couldn’t get Netflix to work in the living area - was OK in the bedroom. Note on front door said all guests are asked to decorate a plate - we enjoyed looking at previous guests plates but we didn’t get one and were a bit disappointed.

Loved the videos of the property shown on their website. Unfortunately this must be an old video as quite a few of the features were not included or were now broken / damaged. Loved most of the apartment. I took some cool photos. Location great. Not too noisy but the dog next door does bark a bit.
Communal carpets dirty. Some of the “ornaments” made areas look a little like a jumble sale. Just odd bits scattered around. Lots of personalised, signed bits to “Neil”. The old fading plates on the wall put the kids off eating. Great idea just everything needs a clean / finishing off. I wasn’t going to take photos of the bits that needed attention as it was nothing major. Their website said they offer plates to decorate, we did not see these.
This is the 4th booking we have made this year with H&S. We hadn’t received check in info on the morning we were due to travel. This has not happened before. I emailed but didn’t receive a reply. I called and was told I hadn’t signed a waiver. I had not received this and have not had any for our previous bookings. I was also told I had to pay an £250 for insurance? Then instead I paid £25? Now I’m still unsure whether this was down to H&S or the owner whoever Neil is.
I was then was asked to send ID. It’s either a new thing or Neil is worried about his collection going walkies. My passport is in my maiden name. If I was asked to send ID when I booked our previous 4 stays then I would have known which name to book under. Why this couldn’t have been done last August when I had booked god knows but if I hadn’t called on the morning
to check we would have arrived and my passport would be at home. It’s really put me off booking again to be honest.

Loved the location , decor was cool and fun , beds were very comfortable , loved all of the windows , natural sunlight and fresh air .
neighbours dog barked whenever we passed the front door . some damage to the houses walls and stair railing that have not been fixed . lights in the kids closet had no batteries . sofa was comfortable but felt a bit gritty, which is understandable being a beach house that allows dogs . Sofa and red coffee table could use a deep clean but otherwise the entire house and our stay was wonderful .

Everything! Especially the plate thing! Lots of fun! Location was great! So close to a long stretch of sandy beach and also the local town. Facilities in the apartment were first class. Lots of room. And such an eclectic collection of artwork that even us two pensioners never ran out of conversation pieces to chat about. Loved the Pacman machine too! A competition every evening! Brilliant. So enjoyable! Just 3 nights away but feels like 10 days to re-charge our depleted batteries! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Needs a grab rail in the shower. (Great shower though). And a toilet roll holder stand. Oh...and a bread knife....and some spare light bulbs. Very minor suggestions, but they can make a bit of a difference.

Very artistic apartment. The plates in the kitchen are a nice touch.
Could have done with a clothes airer. Had to wash some muddy clothes and there was nowhere to dry them. Not keen on paying a damage waiver with a £10 admin fee either.

The location is just fine and parking was no problem in December. However, in the summer that might not be the case! Internally, the unique and quirky features were great.
Kitchen facilities were weird! Full of electrical appliances but very few basics. For instance, one sharp knife and one saucepan and frying pan only, but no oven gloves, wooden spoons, measuring jug or bread knife. It's as if the owners didn't expect you to cook. Also, we found two TV remote controls hidden from view - one under a cushion and the other under the bed! Finally, one door handle fell off whilst we were there and others are becoming very loose.

Everything - we love the apartment having been before. The location is brilliant - Saltburn is a gorgeous place. The hosts are amazing and the apartment covers all we could need for a short break. Always a pleasure.
Nothing - there are a lot of steps to the apartment so a heads up for anyone with mobility issues should be aware.
