A bit on the small side, not very spacious

Beautiful decorated and clean cottage

Stayed in August 2025

Oven dirty, parking spot tight, very small bathroom and steep stairs

Location and friendly locals

Stayed in August 2025

TV wasn’t great reception. Not a lot to do in evenings. Ended up watching TV.

Very pretty. Ideal with enclosed outside for our dog.

Stayed in June 2025

Ideal for two people but the dining area would be a bit cramped if anymore staying.

Ideal for short stay and close to the coast. Very cosy and has all you need. Parking space was handy.

No problems really but the toilet flush is tricky. Took us a while to work it out, so kept me awake the first night, as water wouldn't stop flowing. Maybe needs looking at?

Liked everything. Having the parking space at the front is a big bonus (we didn't know about this). It's a sweet cottage and very convenient.

Good location nice garden

The grill didn't work on the cooker and it really just needs replaced. Bathroom is dark and very restricted in size.

Very cosy. Good location to explore the area. Enclosed front and rear garden which is good for small dogs. Wood burner with fuel provided.

When i purchased this holiday booking.com advertised it as free cancellation and pay month before. After booking I got a message from host and stay requesting 25percent deposit upfront and full payment 75 days before arrival. On booking. Com there was no mention of a damage waver however as host and stay policy I had to pay a non refundable £25 fee or pay refundable £200 not returned for 14 days with a £10 admin free. This is so wrong as these term should be quoted on the booking prior to making the booking. A damage waiver is incase of breakage yet either way we had to pay £10 or £25 and why would it take 14 days to return? Just another way of charging more money DISGUSTING. On a lighter note it Needed more basic necessities in the house such as scrubbers, more than one tea towel, kitchen roll, salt and pepper

We had a lovely stay in honey cottage. Very Good location. Very cosy cottage and was clean. Had a lovely walk around runswick bay and staithes. Walking distance to the badger hound which was a lovely pub and restaurant which was dog friendly.

The location was great just a short car journey to local attractions

Nothing to do with the cottage it was great. What I didn't like was Host & Stay making me either pay £30 for 'breakage' insurance or having to pay a large deposit for damages which I would get back in 14 days minus £10 admin fee. I think this is a rip off and makes me question whether i will book another Host & Stay which is a shame as the ones i have booked have been lovely.

Although the property is quiet small it had everything you needed and more. Having the lovely courtyard at the back and bench at the front was great, we could catch the sun anywhere. Only a short walk to 2 pubs. The food in the Badger Hound was lovely, ate there both nights. Great walk to Runswick Bay along the cliff tops.

Perfect location if you happen to be attending a function in Hinderwell Village Hall which we were.

The boiler came on in the afternoon but when it went off it got slightly cold. I was unable to start the boiler again due to there being no instructions. The log fire was a nice touch.

Easy walking distance of pubs and public transport links

ideal location

The damage waiver/ deposit policy. The toaster needs replacing

The location the parking and the price in comparison to other options.

Nice and quiet

The cottage was really homely and cosy and the perfect size for us and our little dog. The location was really good as it provided the perfect base for exploring the surrounding areas. It had everything you needed in terms of kitchen equipment and the patio area in the back was secure and really private. It also included a dog washing tap out the back which was really handy after being at the beach.

Nothing!

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Very clean and cosy with everything you need for a short stay. Love the courtyard outside, looked lovely with the fairy lights. Close to Staithes and whitby, great location for exploring the area.

A bit small.

Good location, cosy cottage. well equipped kitchen, good mattress/linen etc

Stayed in June 2023

There were two stains on our bedding. they had clearly been washed but two stubborn stains could still be seen. Would have been nice to have a small freezer even if in the top of the fridge.

the location was excellent. Most of the facilities were great.

Stayed in May 2023

The mattresses very uncomfortable with the springs poking you whenever you moved. A mattress topper may improve the situation. Bathroom a tight fit for more than one but served it’s purpose.

The location was good for visiting other areas. Bus stop a minute away which meant you could go to Whitby etc and save on finding a parking space. Well laid out with and clean kitchen had all you needed ( could do with some egg cups ).

Unfortunately the bedding was dirty, it had dog prints on and mud and dog hair. We put the spare sheets on that we're in the cupboard but they had holes in and were dusty and did not smell fresh. We messaged the hosts who said that they would send someone round the next day to provide clean sheets, however nobody turned up. This was frustrating because we were in waiting and expecting someone to come round. We were told that the customer service team would contact us within 10 working days after we put in a complaint, however after 18 days we have no heard back from them.

We liked the location of the cottage and it was easy to check in.

A few small issues with the property: bathroom light inadequate drinks shelf in fridge has a broken hook which renders it useless linen and blankets had dog hair on them, with a slight smell of wet dog

Location is great, in between a number of great places to explore.
