Great location and plenty of room for us as a large group. The beds were also really comfy and it was nice to have a bit of outside space.
Parts of the house could have been cleaner e.g. there was a lot of dust on the banister.
Also the downstairs shower wasn't great and the kitchen could do with an upgrade in terms of utensils etc.

Great location for the beautiful town of Whitby.
The beds were super comfortable and the house was warm and welcoming.
We had 2 cars and were able to park both on the driveway.

Nothing much to dislike, comfortable, great location, shower on ground floor wasn’t great but served its purpose

Excellent location- parking a real bonus! Enough space for a large family trip.
Not as clean as it could have been- certainly not filthy but definitely not spotless. Yard could have done with a tidy too, it was a little overgrown.

Didn’t understand how to use dishwasher which would have been helpful when you have a large family

Location and space in the property was great. Well equipped kitchen and nice to have milk tea and coffee could provide some alternatives to caffeine drinks as stated luxury stay also salt and pepper.
Needs a deep clean and needs to be more frequently maintained in order to be able to describe it as luxury

Good location, easy to walk into the town but far enough away to feel very quiet and secure. Parking was a nice bonus for this location as was the small garden area
Could have done with some TV instructions

Location is perfect being able to walk Into Whitby in 10 minutes a pub and fish and chip shop 2 minutes away and views of Whitby just across the road couldn’t ask for more.
It’s ideal for a dog and children lots of nice walks and a children’s play area at rear of the property.
This is not a criticism but one of our party is a wheelchair user and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom were perfect also entry to the property but as she couldn’t come upstairs to the lounge and kitchen she was a bit cut off we were very lucky with the weather so able to eat in the garden but it would be a bit isolating if the weather was bad.she also couldn’t use the shower as it was in a bath but she thoroughly enjoyed it anyway.
Maybe a small TV in there would be nice.

We couldn't get the bottom oven to work. Some instructions would have been useful.

The kitchen table was nice
On arrival there was rubbish and cigarettes all round the front, side and back of house, the house itself is filthy never seen a cleaner in there cobwebs absolutely everywhere, all over the side lamps, sofa was very sticky like it needed a good clean the floors where sticky and the stairs hadn’t been vacuumed, the bedding had what looked like yellow crust or dried food all over the pillows and bottom sheets.
Because only the stairs have carpet everywhere else is hard flood the whole house echoes it’s so noisy so if one person is up at 5am everyone is getting up
I did make host and stay aware with a response of shall we send a re clean well actually it shouldn’t have to be re cleaned it should of been right from the beginning and it was an inconvenience to us

Property was nicely presented. Well-equipped kitchen and comfy lounge. Around 20 mins stroll to the centre of Whitby. Small play park for young children just behind.
The worst part by far was was dealing with Host & Stay. Despite paying extra for free cancellation the deposit was deducted straightaway. The balance was deducted early. The online system to pay £25 damage insurance (actually £27.50 - some sort of extra admin fee l think) would not work. Finally got details to pay manually over a month before holiday and paid the same day but less than a week before the stay we were being chased for payment. Only got confirmation of payment and check in less than 48 hours before set off.
Property had some minor issues - dirty sock in wardrobe, marks on some walls, jets not working in downstairs bath and no washing machine

Location far enough from the town centre for some quiet time but close enough to walk down to the town centre. The property was large enough for all 8 of us plenty of room.
Some small things Squeaky floor boards, no washing machine/dryer, couldn't get the tv to tune in ( a problem for the kids)
some instructions for the kitchen equipment (dish washer, oven etc). and defrost the freezer.

The property was very well suited to our needs as we had 7 people in our party. We had a problem with one of the radiators in the main bedroom and we were impressed that someone came out to us on Christmas Eve to fix the problem. Great response. Well equipped, quiet property. Good location, a short walk into Whitby. Christmas tree was a nice touch.
The cleaning of the property was a little patchy. It did not look as though the stairs carpets had been vacuumed and one of the bins had not been emptied since the last stay. The freezer also needs to be defrosted as it was difficult to close the door at times due to the ice build up.
