Host & Stay - Sunbeam House

Modern, fresh and immaculately clean. A wonderfully comfortable home from home.

Nothing

Great location, comfortable, spotlessly clean, clutter free yet with thoughtful things provided- basic condiments, plenty of dishwasher tablets, washing machine powder…. Even spare light bulbs and remote control batteries. My measure of a good holiday rental is ‘is this as comfortable as my own home and what can I learn about good design?’ So well presented… even down to useful private back outdoor space and lovely front garden…. Brilliant in every way.

Everything good

Wir verbrachten 8 Tage in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus. Das Haus liegt ideal in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße und ist trotzdem perfekt gelegen un zu Fuß in die Innenstadt von Saltburn, oder hinab zur Promenade und zum Strand zu kommen. Ca. 15 Minuten Fußweg. Viele Geschäfte und Restaurants/Pubs in der Nähe, genauso wie ein ein Spar oder ein Sainsburys. Das Haus war super sauber und wirklich wunderschön und stilvoll eingerichtet. Viele kleine, Lampen sorgen für gemütliches Licht. Der kleine Hinterhof ist ideal um Wäsche aufzuhängen oder seinen Tee in der Mittagssonne zu trinken. Sehr bequeme Betten, ausreichend Sitzmöglichkeiten im Wohnzimmer. Sehr gut ausgestattete und großzügige Küche. Lichtdurchfluteter Sitzbereich. Wir hatten ein kleines Problem mit dem Ofen, Graham war so nett und kam innerhalb von 10 Minuten vorbei und konnte das Problem lösen. Wir bekamen sogar noch frische Handtücher während unseres Aufenthaltes. Saltburn eignet sich hervorragend, um Ausflüge in alle Richtungen zu unternehmen. ( Zum Beispiel nach Newcastle, Roseberry Topping, Castle Howard, das Moorland) Wir empfehlen Sunbeam House zu 100 Prozent weiter und würden das Haus auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.

Alles bestens, 😊

Comfortable, had all things you would require for your stay, good location (handy for central Saltburn and coast), quiet area. Hosts provided milk and hot cross buns which was a nice touch but could work on their communication approach (see below)

Check-in time is later than most properties - please note you have to pay an additional £30 to check in before 4PM! The neighbours were also quite noisy and you got the impression they did not like visitors staying next door as they made parking very difficult (parking further up from their house to stop you getting in or parking right up to your bumpers to make it difficult getting out). Parking is on a 'first come first serviced' basis as informed by the owners only the day before arrival. Therefore, if you do get a parking space you are reluctant to leave it to explore the area as you may not get it back (particularly after 4pm when the locals return and park up). We only stayed two nights (stayed for work) and in late September but if you are staying longer for a holiday at busier times, this may be a bigger problem. Also, the emails sent by the hosts are worded in quite a patronising way e.g. you are 'reminded' on the evening before you leave that you are due to leave the following day ... as if you do not know this!! Perhaps the email was not meant in this way and was an automated message but it did quite annoy us and spoilt the stay a little (this and struggling to get car out of the parking space being our last impressions), particularly when it was stressed we had to leave before 10am and we had already arranged to leave at 7.30am. The hosts could perhaps work on the wording of these email and respect us as paying guests and not school children!!
