Stayed at sunflower cottages northumberland via host and stay. The cottage was fabulous. It was clean and large. Beds were comfortable and provision of bathroom accessories was a surprise. There is even a TV in the bedrooms. We would definitely return. Dont be put off by the financial stuff on damage and insurance. Paying the extra £25 is worth it. Everything there if you needed it. A bit cold at times so take an extra jumper. It is in a place that can easily access the beach, Bamburgh and Alnwick. We even drove to Berwick and took a train to Edinburgh for the day. Seahouses is quite a vibrant area considering it is so small. More life than Bamburgh village. Lots of restaurants.

We are just back from a wonderful stay at Littlebeck house. It’s set in a lovely little hamlet, right next to the ‘little beck’ and close to the railway- the added bonus of hearing the steam train ‘toot’ 4 times a day which was a hit with my 2 year old! It’s literally a 8-10 minute drive to all the attractions in Whitby depending on the time of day, couldn’t have asked for a better location. There’s also the added bonus of a soft play a 3 minute drive away, perfect for the one rainy morning we had. The house itself is beautifully decorated with Hive heating and the comfiest of beds, the decor is beautiful and we loved the comfy sofa. What makes me give it 4 and not 5 stars can be easily rectified- and this would be up there with some of the nicest accommodation we’ve had- The patio and garden are accessed by a side alley- there is no gate, an issue for us with a toddler and a dog. The kitchen was beautifully equipped with all utensils and Crockery, however no other ‘staples’ such as oil, salt pepper and other condiments- this would have been appreciated Limited toilet roll- 4 rolls for 3 bathrooms, and no hand towel in the downstairs loo Cleaning products- we where left with 2 bin bags, 5 dishwasher tablets, one tea towel and 2 j cloths. Some additional cloths towels and a spray cleaner would have been really useful, as the accommodation guide does reiterate several times how it expects the property to be kept clean. The points above are in no way a criticism of the property, mere pointers based on other places we stayed. We had a wonderful week and wouldn’t hesitate to come back- thankyou!

Excellent central location, lovely cottage furnished to a very high standard. We particularly appreciated the finishing touches, like handwash by each sink and cakes on arrival. Would definitely stay again.

Over the summer I have stayed in at least half a dozen different Host & Stay properties for several nights at a time - each one has been immaculate, well equipped & very comfortable. The booking & checkin processes are super simple & communications are easy.

First time user with Host & Stay and would not hesitate to use them again. From my initial booking the Host & Stay staff have been in regular contact with me regarding the booking and giving information regarding my stay. The accommodation is exactly how it was advertised. It was just what we required. We had a slight maintenance issue during our stay. However, when we contacted Host & Stay they organized someone attend whilst we out. The issue was addressed when we arrived back at the accommodation. This was so convenient and impressive. All the staff are very helpful, however a BIG thank you to Lynzi for organizing everything. Thanks everyone and we will return

Absolutely wonderful weekend, superb host and apartment was really nice (clean and ideal location). Building has quite a bit of construction work going on (we were told prior to the stay) so had a slight problem with the parking space however the hosts were very good and this was sorted almost instantly! Other than this it was perfect! Thank you so much and I hope to come back and stay again :)

We had a fantastic stay at the Ellerbeck Cabin in the woods at Ladycross Plantation Park Whitby, The cabin had everything you need for a comfortable stay, it was spotlessly clean and in a lovely peaceful location, yet a quick and easy drive in to Whitby.

Great communication. Great location. Spacious cottage with what could be a lovely outdoor space. Dirty and neglected inside and out. Dust, mould, blocked en-suite sink and broken toilet seat. Cobwebs and flies and too many windows that couldn’t be opened. What a shame …. It feels like the owners and management don’t know what state the cottage is in when guests arrive.

A very new feeling first floor apartment on the West cliff front in Whitby. There are about seven apartments in the block. Ours had a pleasant lounge/kitchen/diner with a big smart TV. There were three bedrooms (one with en suite and second Smart TV) and a bathroom. Getting in was easy with the codes we were sent and we received a parking pass for about 50 metres away. There was milk in the fridge which was all we needed for our two night stay. See pictures for front of building and the view of the very handy ice cream and coffee kiosk. We had two fabulous breakfasts at Cranberry Swamp about 500 metres down the adjacent street, and two sets of Fish and Chips - I would just recommend Magpie cafe over Mr Chips (which was just closing so we had the end of the chips - not their fault) - but there are steps down the cliff to both places.

The location and comfort is outstanding. Really good beds, comfortable seating and TV with Netflix. Beach just across the street, high street 2 blocks away. Parking spaces easy to find. Balcony is extra bonus.

Great location, lovely apartment, very clean and a high standard. Could have done with a bit more cutlery and a bigger bed tho. Having said that, we will definitely be back.
