The property is lovely and in a great location. Nice and quiet with a view of the river. The place is clean with a fully equipped kitchen (except extractor fan)There is everything you need close by, and the parking space was a bonus.

Beware! You book through Booking.com but it’s Host and Stay that you deal with. They want an additional £30 insurance on top of the price you pay with booking.com. The amount of emails, messages and information required from them is just too much. The kitchen needs an extractor fan or the back door fixing so it can be opened, we only cooked a bacon sandwich and the whole place smelt. The doorway into the living room is very low and my dad nearly knocked himself out. A warning or some padding might be a good idea.

Great location centre of Staithes, great views overlooking beck. Property was cosy with good facilities. Comfy bed & good bathrooms. Came with parking space across road which was a bonus even though booking said no parking. Close to shops & next door to cafe selling ice-cream & pizza. Host's App was good with loads of info.

A few issues spoilt the overall experience which is a shame. Sofas need replacing and windows needed a clean (not just the unavoidable seagull poo). Piles of stuff behind the sofa, no table outside, awkwardly high dining table - had to sit on cushions, missing bedside lamp. The non-refundable £10 fee for the deposit was not mentioned when booking. The number of messages from Host & Stay were a bit overwhelming.

We liked the location in Staites. We were able to go to all the other villages on the coast within a 1/2 hour. In the village of Staites, we liked the food, drink, and Dotty's Cafe fire morning Scones.

We had a difficult time getting the code for the lock box. One of the villagers, from the pub, helped us with that. After we got in, I was sent the property damage disclaimer document. Reverse that! Also, there is a reason they call it Gull's Haven. There are tons of pigeons and ses gull and in turn bird "poop." When we were sitting outside, one of the birds pooped on my friends new blouse. They need to get a scary fake plastic owl. There were no instructions for the heaters. We had to turn on the hot water right away. If you are handicapped or have walking issues, Straites is not the village for you.

location, layout, character, view, well heated,

terrible dripping kitchen tap no extractor fan in kitchen and back door wouldn’t open very noisy water system when water used upstairs and this made the downstairs drip worse too many annoying and unnecessary e mails from host

Fabulous location

Beds need a bit of attention

location, parking space, roomy and quirky. outlook pleasant and standards good. everything worked. comfortable.

constant emails and multiple daily communications from the property management company. very long documents with a bullying and threatening tone, before we had even got there. The hardest and most legalistic arrangement through booking . com that I have every made and daily emails during the stay are intrusive!

Nothing

The full cottage is run down ready for a revamp .

Breakfast was not applicable. Location was good. Comfortable beds.

It was advertised as providing toiletries and there was none, only hand wash. Worktops in kitchen felt tacky. No cloths provided for cleaning. There needs to be safety measures put in place on the outside patio wall. It’s unsafe for children and animals, the wall is low and there is a sheer drop on the other side. Not enough drinking glasses.
