Very enjoyable .

Disappointed that on arriving late on a wet & stormy night , nothing left to light wood burner with as was promised a starter pack of fuel . Cleaned glass on wood burner so I could see flames , several cobwebs in lounge & bathroom . Location & ambience of cottage very nice . Tops of kitchen cupboards looks a bit of a bodge job . Would stay again hope my comments are taken as intended constructive to help you improve . Have past on Cottage details to a friend.

Perfect stay in beautiful Staithes

A perfect stay in a lovely cottage located right in the heart of beautiful Staithes village. Log burner was amazing. Beds really comfy. Can’t wait to return 😀

Nothing!!

Lovely cottage

The cottage is lovely! Just perfect location and lovely views! Fire place is magical on cold evenings.

The process of getting entry instructions, just make sure you message/ emsil owner as he doesn't get your details (not his fault) and read the messages to get his details before getting to Staithes as no signal

Cosy stay in a comfortablele and atmospheric cottage with great views

Very cosy cottage. Gorgeous views out to sea. Panelling, stone work and stove were very atmospheric in living room. Short walk down the hill to harbour.

Liked everything about our visit

Restful stay in comfortable cottage

Grimes Cottage is spacious, well equipped and the double bed is very comfortable. Staithes Village is beautiful and we had a restful holiday.

Good enough for a short break.

Great views of the harbour. The cottage was very warm even in the depths of winter with snow and wind outside. The cottage has a very cosy lounge area with character and a log burner.

To be honest, the overall stay was met and reasonably comfortable for my needs. The basic requirement for me was an openfire/logburner. Which worked well for me. However.. There were bits that I think require to be addressed; Firstly, the key safe on arrival was rusted shut and took 20 minutes to gain entry. This I did with my own WD40. A thorough dusting, especially the lights in the kitchen. The fridge light didn't work, and neither did the shaver light and power in the bathroom. I had to clean out the outside drains and bath plughole due to hair and leaves, etc. I did have to phone the caretaker to rod out the sewers as they were blocked. But they did fix this within an hour. The pop plug in the bath doesn't work, so you have to prize out the plug with the edge of your nails. A cuboard handle that hides the washing machine just fell off, as did the toilet roll holder and towel ring. The ovens' face showing power levels and grill/oven have worn away, so I had to work out what worked! The different colured bin liners were left in the relevant bins outside, but not in the kitchen, which seemed a little odd? A few extre untentils in the kitchen wouldn't go a miss. For some reason, one of the Kitchen cubards was full of utility bills!?? None of the above affected my overall stay, but these issues need addressing if one is going to rent out a product to the paying public.

It was full of damp,felt damp.The log burner not working,bird nest in chimney pot.Worded controls on cooker missing,Beam on top of stairs very low,kept banging our heads.Plug in bath doesn’t fit,bath plug hole full of grime,disgusting.Heating barely came on,so was cold with damp in house.It needs a updating,never stayed anywhere with so much damp.It’s not child friendly at all.No hand rail,and bannister very loose.Spare bedroom had stonework showing. O Outside was full of weeds,wasn’t welcoming at all.

Traditional Very Old Staithes House

2 minutes from harbour and amenities

Bit disappointed that log burner inop when we arrived we had brought 3 x bags of logs to enjoy cosy nights . Prior notice would of been good . No spare toilet roll , just one on hanger Bath plug leaked so water drained away when having a soak .

Lovely cottage, no problems. Had a fab holiday. Would recommend

Really great size, comfortable, nice outdoor courtyard, great location. Comfortable sofas.

Lack of Wi-Fi, although we knew this when we booked, none of us could get a phone signal unless we went out up top of bank, so felt a little bit awkward if elderly relatives at home needed to get in touch. Would have happily paid a reasonable price for a weeks Wi-Fi

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

Loved Grimes Cottage, it was right where we wanted to be and was cosy and clean and comfortable. Which is all we're looking for in a holiday rental. Staithes is a lovely location, a bit quieter than we thought at first ( we arrived mid-week) but this picked up at the weekend and probably to be expected in winter. Cottage was toasty warm and the fire was worth the effort using . All in all , a really good holiday and highly recommended for anyone looking....

Key collection information went a bit awry which was awkward sorting from Staithes...( no phone/Internet reception in many spots) and hot water was 'interesting' but sort-able. Instructions to get to cottage were vague and maybe a little map would have helped? Nothing too horrendous though.....we loved it!

4.0 / 10.0

disappointed for money.

the view from upstairs window

issues finding it as property below was also a grimes nook tried in rain to get into wrong property. the door is on the side with no light so up a small passage no reception so could not get hold of contact for help and no internet to communicate issues till we left the back yard had timber with nails in it as guttering taken down - not safe with dogs only one proper wine glass. I believe the last managing property has rectified some of these issues. just felt we deserved a discount

Quiet peaceful getaway. Cosy cottage with home comforts. Very close to the Cod & Lobster pub which does very nice food.
