The house was okay. There are better places to rent. This was okay, but not particularly homely and quite sparse provisions - such as only 2 dish washer tablets and 1 tea towel.

The house was in a perfect location to explore the lovely Whitby, only a 5 minute walk to town in a nice street. The house was lovely and clean with nice touches such as shower gel , soap and shampoo to use. Really useful handbook sent over before arrival.

The house was very well stocked with everything you need. A nice touch would have been a small amount of wood to put fire on when we arrived. The house was mostly clean although my little dog found an old Maltese on the floor when we first arrived and some aspects of the house were a little less clean. The house was lovely and warm. The bathroom had some nice touches with available pouches of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel etc. The bath and showers were lovely with nice towels provided. The dining table was great for getting everyone around the table. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were really comfortable. A couple of walls could do with a pit of a repaint eg on the stairs is a damp patch which has stained the wall. Previous people had put their recycling in plastic bags which meant they weren’t taken away meaning we had to take our recycling back home with us as there wasn’t any space. Whitby is lovely and well worth a visit, lots to see and do.

Location was perfect, within walking distance of the beautiful harbour and town. There were 8 of us and the house felt spacious with plenty of room for us to all relax together in the lounge. Slight issue with the heating but it was solved really quickly as soon as we reported it. Would thoroughly recommend and great value for money given the quality of the property and its location.

Gray Haven is a spacious family home. Tastefully decorated and within easy reach of all Whitby's amenities and within easy driving distance of local hotspots. As well as the many attractions Whitby has to offer a family ( the pirate ship tour is fab) Robin Hoods Bay is a must and so is the amazing Falling Foss and tea rooms, all within a 15 minute drive. Parking is not always possible directly outside the property but with 2 cars we always found somewhere close by to park. The property itself is very well maintained and it was lovely for 8 of us to be able to sit at the spacious dining table together. Considering the close proximity to the center of Whitby the house was very peaceful.

We had a lovely stay at Host & Stay’s. The accommodation was extremely central (5 minutes walk to the centre of whitby) and accommodated for 8 people and a dog. The accommodation was spacious. The only negative was the two rooms on the third floor were a little small because of the low ceilings. Otherwise the stay was perfect. Would recommend.

Fantastic house, with plenty of room for us all. Had everything we needed but felt it could've been cleaner in place's. Easy to get into town, great location.

The house was very nice and in a good location. However our stay was spoiled due to the cot being hard to find (in a wardrobe on the top floor, thought they would have put it out for us as I requested one) and then not being able to find any sheets for the base of the cot. I contacted Host and Stay and they said they do not provide any linen for the cot. Totally ridiculous, it’s like not providing sheets for the bed I stayed in! I had also previously contacted them to double check that there was going to be a cot and sheets. So my baby had to sleep in the bed with me, not ideal. I wouldn’t book with this company again.

We had a lovely stay at the gray haven. The rooms were all clean and comfortable and the little extras like the toddler toile seat and step were really helpful as we had a 3 year old with us. The kitchen floor and the coffee table were a little sticky and we had to give them a clean when we arrived but everywhere else was clean and tidy and we would definitely stay again. The guide book with recommendations was also really useful. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Beautiful place in a great location - had everything we needed for a lovely family trip. So close to the centre of Whitby and an easy drive to Scarborough too! We were worried about parking after reading previous reviews but needn’t had been as we all found spots nearby. Really blummin nice - would recommend!

We had a lovely weekend in the Gray Haven. The only downsides were the steep steps in the house and steps up to the house (which werent ideal for my mum who has mobility limitations) and that finding a nearby parking soace was tricky. However, the steps issue is my fault for not clearly checking that beforehand and neither issue was a major problem. The house was very clean, cosy, comfortable well appointed and the location was excellent. Brilliant value for money and we would definitely stay again if we weren't with my mum.

Fab little home away from home in Whitby! 5 minute walk away from the centre, so fabulous location. Clean and comfy, would recommend! We didn’t really stay in much as there are so many restaurants etc nearby, but the log burner was a great addition!

Apartment was lovely, as described. Easy to find, great location. On arrival our heating wasn’t working because the batteries in the controller had ran out. Host and Stay were slow to respond then told us to go to the shop and replace them. We did and it still didn’t work. Host & Stay didn’t respond when I asked them to send someone as we had a baby and it was very cold. Despite our best effort to reset the boiler the heating still wouldn’t work. I rang them and they said they would contact someone. I received a call back from the owner who arranged to visit us a couple of hours later, around 10.30pm. He wasn’t able to fix it but left us 2 electric radiators. Really appreciated his efforts but spent out first night wrapped in blankets. To his due, the owner came back around 9.30 on Sat morning sorted the heating sorted within an hour. I received multiple messages from Host & Stay after that, no apology or offer of compensation, just reminding us we must be out by 10am Sunday.

Fantastic property in a great location - very clean and with everything you could need to stay on a self-catering property (best kitchen equipment in any Air B&B we have stayed in!) Very comfortable beds with great mattresses, lots of communal space and lovely little touches such as milk in the fridge when we arrived and DVDs and books for the evening.

This is a great house, on three floors and four good double bedrooms, one with en suite with a family bathroom. Good space indoors. No space outdoors at all and tough parking on Gray Street. We managed only to get one of the cars close to the house all stay. But….. house is well stocked with everything you need and a short walk to everything. Recommend

Lovely, well appointed house. Only stayed a couple of nights but would have been very happy to stay a week or more. Plenty of room for 8 as downstairs is spacious and there are two bathrooms. Even dogs are well catered for. Found spare lead, bowls, crate and ball chucker under stairs! Thoroughly recommend.

A lovely property full of character and really close to the centre of Whitby. The house was very clean and well-equipped. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but we had three cars with us and still managed to find at least one space outside the house each day with the others no more than a couple of minutes’ walk away. Whitby is such a great holiday venue and this property is ideally suited to enable you to appreciate it all.

Such a warm and cosy stay. all the family enjoyed the house and we felt right at home, especially cooking in the kitchen and chatting around the dining room.We were visiting for the first year memorial of my mother, but was also able to visit Goathland, where my grandmother is buried. The location is great as well, so my grandson had lots to do.

Thank you so much for making our stay wonderful and so homely. The place had a recently refurbished feel to it and loved the warm feeling it gave. Also loved the little personal details like the dog treats and posh coffee machine and pods. Especially the cookies and Jam on arrival with the welcome booklet. The only suggestion I would make as a partially sighted person would be to make the outside steps more noticeable with either step lights or strips (like painted yellow/white strips on the edges of the steps or similar) so it’s easier to see the depth. Almost had a bit of a tumble but was averted thankfully. Will deffo book this property again in the future. Thanks again X

Good place to stay, close to whitby centre and a clean, nice house. Bit frustrated at being allowed to book for one night and being told it would be cancelled as a 2 night minimum applied, which we've been told is now resolved.
