Host & Stay | The Old Sweet Shop
Entire rental unit in Whitby, United Kingdom
Once occupied by the towns famous ‘Aunty Alice’ this old sweet shop was well known by all the locals.
The apartment has on-site private parking for one car.
The space
This bright ground floor apartment has been renovated to an extremely high standard creating a perfect space to enjoy a short stay by the coast. With a pale, neutral colour palette the apartment gives a real sense of calm.On entering the apartment you step directly into the open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The two cool blue sofas frame the living area, surrounding a white wooden coffee table and metallic thread rug. From the feature window seat you can see the infamous Whitby Abbey, watch the world go by or enjoy the latest drama on the wall mounted, flatscreen tv.
The dining area comfortably seats four people at the simple, white and wood rectangle dining table. Centred between the kitchen and living area you can enjoy a feast for four or a romantic meal for two.
The fully equipped kitchen features cool grey doors with white speckle effect worktops and marble effect grey metro tiles. The kitchen has everything you would need for a short break including a fridge, oven, ceramic hob, microwave, kettle and washing machine. You’ll also find little luxuries such as a Nespresso coffee machine and a dishwasher. Adding a pop of colour to this open plan area are some Whitby themed fine art prints by Bridget Wilkinson.
This whole area is flooded with light from the large sash style windows. With ample space you can cook, dine and relax as a group during your stay.
Head down the hallway from the dining area and you’ll find the first of the two bedrooms. With a zip and link bed you have the option to configure this as one kingsize bed or two small singles. The bed features an upholstered, Chelsea style headboard and is dressed with grey toned cushions and bed throw. With marble style bedside tables and matching lamps the room is simple and symmetrical.
Head back to the hallway and you’ll find the bathroom. The bathroom includes a WC, basin and large walk in shower. It feels fresh and modern with chrome fixtures and fittings and large white ceramic tiles on the walls and floor.
The second bedroom can be found at the end of the hallway. This room features a double bed with a mink coloured fabric headboard and dressed with blue and grey patterned cushions. The room is finished off with geometric patterned lamps and artwork by Bridget Wilkinson.
Taking its name from what it once was, The Old Sweet Shop is a generous, bright and airy space, ideal for those looking for a little bit of calm away from the busy cobbled streets of Whitby.
Once a hidden trove of delicious hard boiled sweets and tasty chocolates, the children would scurry down the hill to use the coin machines at the front of the shop. Aunty Alice and her sisters ran the shop right through the war years and into the early 1980’s creating many sweet memories during some hard times.

10 minute walk (tops) into the centre. Great Fish & Chip shop just down the road - reccommend the Curry sauce (nice n spicy). Parking with the digs a real bonus.

Location is brilliant, shirt walk to the town centre. Apartment was nice and well equipped. Yes as mentioned in other reviews the sofas aren't the biggest/most comfortable but didn't travel to stay in all day/night.
The parking was a great bonus considering the location however it's not as clearly marked as described in the welcome info and someone else had parked in it when we got there. Maybe clearer signage could be used with a strict warning as to who is allowed to park there.

Property was ideal for our little get away with friends. Great location, everything you need including parking. Nice luxuries included such as coffee machine, tea, coffee & UHT milk plus toiletries. Will definitely look to book here again if we stay in Whitby.
There was nothing really any of us could say we didn’t like. The only things we all said we would maybe advise would be the mattresses in both bed rooms all be it we slept they could probably do with being upgraded as one was soft if offered no support & the zip & link were 2 separate singles together that were completely different in height when in bed due to one dipping in the middle. Also as we were a party of 4 adults the sofas just weren’t big enough to sit comfortably on a night after our king walks, but as said above these did not make are stay unpleasant we really loved the littke apartment and it had everything we needed.

After a long journey 400 miles we arrived late at night to an unserviced apartment will no clean towels, dirty bathroom & kitchen, bins full of rubbish, personal belongings of the last resident, towels with fake tan on, beds that had been slept in and more. It took an hour to contact the host and then we were given another unit for the night which was about 20mins drive away in the pitch dark, not ideal after a long day travelling with a child under 10 who needs to go to bed. The other unit was lovely but did not excuse the one we booked not being clean, I filled out the complaint form and sent messages but no further contact was made or compensation offered. The unit was nice and had a good location, the beds and sofas were small though and not comfortable. The parking is down the rd under an archway & the space not well marked. Nice enough flat but not worth what I paid, especially after arriving to it dirty. I don't recommend Host & Stay. Whitby itself was lovely though!

Great for a short break for a young family as walkable to Whitby and Abbey. Has everything you need. Double bed very comfortable, but list a star for the twin/double as you couls feel the springs through the mattress and wasn't comfortable. So better for a couple only needing the one bed until the mattresses on the twin are sorted.
Stacey

I stayed here 2 years ago and I choose to come back as it has a parking space and it’s a short walk into the old town, it has a well equipped kitchen
This time I was greeted by dirty ,stained sofas, dust,cobwebs,badly rusted towel rail in bathroom and toilet roll holder, clogged up and dirty extractor fan in bathroom. The largest of the beds was 2single mattresses that are supposed to zip together and one of the mattresses was completely collapsed making it impossible to sleep on. Thank fully Host and Stay sorted and alternative accommodation for us but we did spend our first day wandering Whitby whilst waiting for phone calls and emails to sort out situation

Good location, modern apartment and facilities, close to town, parking space,
The parking space needs to be clearly marked so that other residents don't park in the space, as someone else was parked in it when we arrived, which wasn't a good start!
The apartment needs to be cleaned better, carpets need a good vacuum, bathroom tiles going black in the grouting, bathroom radiator all rusting next to toilet ! Lounge seats very grubby and stained, Lots of traffic noise from road.
Jo
on Airbnb1 year ago
The cottage is in a good location with a 10 mins walk to all the central shops & restaurants. It is however on the main road & the traffic noise when you are in the lounge/kitchen is loud - luckily the bedrooms are at the back of the property so the noise doesn’t interfere with sleep.
The 2 blue lounge sofas that look lovely & new on the photos are actually narrow & small - almost child size, the seat cushions are really lumpy & uncomfortable & they are covered in stains.
In the bathroom, the shower cubicle tiles/grout need a good clean with bleach. There is mould on the ceiling above the shower unit & the radiator & toilet roll holder are rusty.
Overall this small light filled cottage is convenient & neat - but it needs a refresh & definitely some new sofas.
Kate

Nothing.
Everything. The advertising for this place is misleading as it shows the apartment when newly decorated and describes it in very positive terms. On arrival, it was dirty and the furnishings showed hard wear and tear. The tiles in the bathroom were dirty. The letting agent was contacted about this and cleaners were sent in the next day. However, the improvement after cleaning was non-existent. We had to find alternative accommodation for the first night and did not return to this apartment because of its condition so we only spent three hours there in total. The listing for this apartment is false advertising as neither description nor photographs bear any relationship to the reality. The letting agent has to be chased as they have not rung when they said they were going to. The worst holiday experience I have ever had.
Jean
on Airbnb1 year ago
A disappointing stay. The main bed desperately needed new mattresses. Springs were noisy and lumpy. Uncomfortable and lumpy sofas. King size bed with only a double size duvet. The neighbourhood was unsavoury with local youth kicking and knocking the windows and doors, on one occasion a firework was let off right outside the door. The front door leads directly out on to a busy road which made it noisy, especially with the local boy racers. No instructions for the tv. Toilet seat was loose. Dirty saucepans. Would not recommend this place. Whitby however, was lovely, but accommodation was not worth the money. No problems with host and stay as we had to report the slow drain away in the shower and they responded immediately. The whole idea of this break was for a restful week as my husband has recently had open heart surgery and we both needed to de-stress. Sadly the property did not allow this to happen.

The lovely blue sofas in the photos advertising the property are actually dirty, badly stained and lumpy. The whole property was dusty and in need of a deep clean especially the bathroom. The shower area was very dirty and the grout which should have been white was dark brown. Host and stay did send a cleaner the day after our arrival and the shower area was better afterwards. The property is in a brilliant location and a good bonus was the parking slot which comes with the rental. This property will be perfect after a really good spring clean.

We had a really good stay here, lots of nice finishing touches, plenty of kitchen utensils to use and a nice surprise to have some milk etc to use! Only 1 downside from the whole house and that was the sofa it was VERY uncomfortable and a struggle to fit 2 adults on 1 sofa.
Great location only a 10 min walk into the town and the pub half way is a definite stopping point you need to make.
Overall really happy and would book again. Thank you!!
Suzy
on booking.com1 year ago
The location was good, opposite the harbour and close to the old town.
There is NO designated parking space, we would never have booked had we know. Luckily we did manage most of the time to park opposite, all the parking behind the archway is designated to the flats there. The flat info book was generic so unhelpful. Almost all of the shower room's grouting was black or very badly stained - not pleasant !! The pale blue settees were very stained. Really suprised by these conditions, so have taken photos to alert others.
There were lots of problems with 'Host & Stay' Trying to get verification, multiple emails and phone calls

We had a nice break. A little out of the town but a nice walk in alongside the harbour and only takes around 10 minutes. The accommodation on the whole was great but the sofa and bed could probably do with looking at for replacement soon. Overall a nice stay, 8/10.

However parking spaces aren’t clearly marked for the apartment we stayed in.
Also within the apartment information say the check is 12pm but every communication we had from host and stay said 10am.
But the stay was lovely and host and stay provided us with lots of information about the area

Once we had paid for the stay we were directed to an out sourced damage deposit website.
No Mention of this in the booking. Choice of paying £250 refundable deposit or £25.00 non refundable damage waiver.
We tried to call the firm re check in details but were diverted to a call centre who were very vague. We only received the code at 12 noon on the day of arrival
The Wi-Fi was weak and kept dropping out. We could not use our laptops and had a 2 year old with us who is easily entertained with CBBC. It would have been nice to chill in the evenings with a film. Very disappointing.
Advice to next guest, bring an HDMI cable and a fire stick.
No Dishwasher tablets. Weak bin bags that split over the kitchen floor.
1 inch of dish soap. Cheap loo rolls. No hand soap in the bathroom or toiletries.
However the décor is lovely, we slept well, parking great. location great very easy to find.
Sofas not comfortable and not enough room for 4 to sit comfortably.

We had a great couple of days here. On arriving we did have an issue that someone had parked in the allocated parking space we should have had, however the team were quick to recommend some nearby places we might find free parking (they’re not based on site so could only suggest we leave a polite note on the car which did get it sorted for us in the end).
The property itself was plenty big enough for us as a family of 4 (only mistake we made was letting the kids choose their bedroom as the one they chose had a much comfier bed!). The kitchen was nice and clean and had plenty of crockery for us (maybe some kid friendly stuff too would be good).
We were out and about in Whitby most of the day but we did find the road outside very busy and noisy in the evening and in the night. The sofas were not particularly comfy to sit on, but for a quick bit of TV watching in the evening they were okay. Also watch your legs on the radiator in the bathroom if you need the loo when the heating is on!

The location of the property was ideal only a 5-10 minute walk into town and the parking space was a great bonus. Accessibility was great all ground floor for our pram and many baby items! Very clean with all the home comforts we needed I.E wifi/washing machine/Netflix etc
The mattresses were very soft and spongy so didn’t get a great night sleep, but this might be personal preference as we prefer a firm mattress.

We stayed for three nights. Had a wonderful time. Apartment was spotless and well equipped. Would definitely come back again. I would definitely recommend the old sweet shop as a little jewel.
Lisa

We arrived to find the cleaner had left mid clean. Towels left, bin bags left, unmade beds. Kerry was very friendly. They couldn't get another cleaner so we had to move apartments. Then move back again the next day. Host and Stay refused to even partially refund. Also a surprise 'insurance' fee after booking. Unclear check out time. This was supposed to be a lovely surprise birthday celebration for my husband. Completely ruined.

Nice but just missing the finishing touches that you get from some air bnbs, the sofas are really not that comfortable to chill out on at night and only really fit one person on it, shower was a bit grubby and there’s no shelves in the bathroom to put anything, the car parking spaces are not clearly marked at all in fact a few people where struggling to see especially in the dark,
Apart from that very good haha!

The location was great, the place was brill, would stay there again
The only criticism was the toilet pan was yellow, clean but yellow so I went out and bought a bottle of bleach and put it in the pan, an hoir5later it was brilliant white, ask cleaners to use bleach, otherwise everything was spot on
Sue
on booking.com2 years ago
everything you need, even down to a pint of milk on arrival . huge bonus is the parking spot which is a huge bonus especially this time of year.
The sofas are not very comfortable, a couple of recliners would be nice after long days walking about visiting the local sights.
Gareth
on booking.com2 years ago
Excellent location in terms of a town walk.
The kitchen is nice.
Having stayed in other local apartments/cottages in the same area we were not hugely impressed. The living room area is very uncomfortable as the small sofas are not suitable for relaxing on in the evening, they were also a little dirty so we didn’t entertain it. (We are not snobby either) A little frustrating after a long day with the kids and wanting to relax on the sofa.
Not a big issue but it would of been better if the bedrooms had TVs. The window blinds were snapped and damaged upon arrival so informed the owner.
We have family in Whitby so come here all of the time but unfortunately will not be coming back to this apartment.
Jody
on booking.com2 years ago
A great apartment, close to all amenities and a short walk into the town centre. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with lots of room. It was located on roadside but the traffic noise was minimal and we didn't really notice it (apart from the odd boy racer with a noisy exhaust).
Parking was awful, someone had parked in our space so we ended up blocking them in and leaving a note on our dashboard to call us if we needed to move. They were told by the cleaner (apparently) that no one was expected in our apartment and they could park there as their space was impossible to park in as it was so small for their car. We couldn't of got in it either! They did offer to move but were happy for us to leave it where it was. I called the main number to ask them about the parking and was told that there was on-street parking available. We only ever book places to stay with allocated parking and when we looked (when walking into town) there were no spaces anywhere (even at night!).

Location was perfect, it was a short pleasant walk in to the town, and was lovely and quiet at night .
Beds were comfy, nice clean linen and towels .
Shower was great , really good water pressure.
Also the kitchen was extremely well equipped.
The sofas in the lounge area were very uncomfortable!
( A minor problem!!)

it had everything needed, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, teabags, sugar, coffee, etc etc etc. everywhere was very clean. was close to the abbey, harbour and beach
The ‘large double’ room is 2 single beds and therefore isn’t the most comfortable as there is a gap in the middle. The parking space was also used when we arrived and we got blocked in twice.

It was really simple to gain access, and communication ahead of arriving was prompt and helpful. The accommodation was really comfortable, great use of space, comfy beds and lovely shower. Really lovely to have milk tea and coffee available when we arrived. We really enjoyed walking to a spot to crab with the children in the evening.
As the accommodation slept 4 people, it was a shame that there were missing wine glasses and small tumblers. It would have been nice to have had a chopping board and salad bowl.

The apartment is in a great location! It is only a few minutes away from the main centre and shops. Inside it is lovely and just as the pictures show.
We loved our stay and will hopefully come back in the future.
The only thing that caused us a bit of trouble was the parking. We did have a parking spot but getting in and out of it was hard/sometimes impossible due to other people parking where there wasn’t a parking place.

Good location just a short walk into the old town, parking space behind cottage in courtyard is a bonus.
Brilliant kitchen with dish washer and washing machine. 2 good sized bedrooms.
one bedroom has no wardrobe but has drawers and the other has wardrobe no drawers. We were ok as their was only 2 of us we had a bedroom each and we shared the wardrobe. The bedroom with the wardrobe only has little tables next to the bed. proper bedside drawer units would be better .

The property is a great location for Whitby which is only a 10 min walk at a steady pace into town. Ideal having a parking space too, although that is a little tight for bigger cars.
The bathroom felt a little cramped, but considering you are only in there for washing and using toilet it serves its purpose.

Spotlessly clean, furnished to a very high standard, with a full kitchen and extras you wouldn’t expect (Nespresso machine, washing machine and dishwasher), reasonably priced with a private parking space and in a great location…about 5 minute walk into Whitby.
Greeted with a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge.
The property is on a main road, and there is some road noise when in the kitchen/lounge but the bedrooms are set towards the back of the property where the noise isn’t noticeable at all.
Would highly recommend and definitely stay again!

The location was great for the centre of Whitby.
The clean and modern apartment was easy to live in for three nights.
The shower was a bit tricky.

Great location but on a busy road so you can hear the cars drive by.
Parking space was convenient and the wifi was good.

The cottage was beautiful and comfortable the location is really good for the town , kitchen was well equipped
Shower was amazing
Not much storage in one of the bedrooms ok if going for a few days but would struggle for a week maybe a few bedside drawers instead of a table .

Great location and aesthetically pleasing but there were some issues and I wouldn't stay again. Kitchen was lovely but no dishwasher tablets which was frustrating. In one room the mattress desperately needs (Website hidden by Airbnb) has a body sized dip in the middle and isn't comfortable. There was a dirty plate in the cupboard and the shower grouting needs cleaning. There were issues with the car being blocked in and the WiFi wasn't working. Whilst these are all fairly small issues, for the price we paid we felt disappointed.

A clean, well located and nicely decorated place near the heart of Whitby. we had a nice stay but overall not the best value and quite small rooms throughout.

The flat is lovely, perfect location for Whitby. It was very clean and the communication was great. The only small issue I have is we were provided with very few bathroom amenities. For example there were only two toilet rolls for four people over a three nights stay. Just something that could be improved. On the other hand the kitchen was really well equipped.

Great location to use as a base for exploring Whitby. Car space a little tight! Clean and well proportioned place. Would revisit.

This ground floor two bedroom apartment has a great location about 10 minutes flat walk into the town. The area itself is quiet and and felt very safe. The apartment is very smart. It has two bedrooms one contains a king size double bed, which looks as though it can split into twins if required and a queen double, bother are at the back of the property overlooking the courtyard where you can park your car in the designated space. The kitchen contains an oven, hob unit, fridge-freezer and dishwasher along with microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee machine. There is also a large amount of crockery and cutlery as well a cleaning materials and tea & coffee etc. There was even some fresh milk in the fridge for us.
Both rooms share a bathroom which contains the toilet, a small washbasin and a big shower which had brilliant water pressure. All the towels and bed linen are also supplied. The standard of finish is excellent and our party of four had an excellent two night stay. I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to you, if fact this was the first time our friends from Edinburgh had stayed in an AirB&B. They were so impressed they will now look for others whenever they go away.
Well done to team, keep up the good work

Clean and tidy flat with everything we needed for our stay, about a 10 minute walk from the swing bridge and the town centre, parking for one mid sized car in an allocated space to the rear. Plenty of hot water and nice and warm if the heating is needed ,the flat is on a fairly busy road, but the traffic noise wasn’t intrusive. I would come back!

The Old Sweet Shop is a fabulous place to stay. It is as lovely as it looks on the pictures and very spacious and spotlessly clean. It has everything it says in the description and more. The tea, coffee, sugar and even milk in the fridge was a welcome surprise when we arrived after our drive up. The private parking at the back is a bonus as parking seems very limited in the area. The apartment is all on one level (even though there are a few steps up to the front door), and very warm and comfortable. Within easy walking distance of the town centre, it's an ideal home from home while you explore. The only thing we missed was normal terrestrial channels on the TV, even though there was Netflix and all the catch apps, but maybe that's just us being old fashioned. All in all, we would definitely recommend a stay here. Fabulous!

Modern & clean apartment & well placed to explore Whitby. We had request the king bed to be split into 2 singles however this hadn’t been arranged as there was an issue with the bed. The house manager did offer for maintenance to come the morning after & he was very polite & helpful (thank you Callum). Would absolutely recommend & return.

A lovely, fresh and stylish apartment in the heart of Whitby. Good location to the centre and to the beautiful Abbey too. Sparking clean with great attention to detail which is most reassuring in these times. Quiet and peaceful at night which made for a restful sleep. Parking is a bonus! Good and prompt communication. Thanks to you all for a lovely stay!

Gorgeous apartment. Really clean throughout, great facilities and utensils to cook and clean if needed. The beds are extremely comfy. Fabulous location, about a 15 minute walk to the beach front and you can see the abbey from the front window! Will definitely be back!
