Tasteful design, coffee machine and refills. Location

Car parking space was very tight. Postcode for property didn’t give us correct directions.

The Flat is well situated to explore Whitby, the allocated parking is an absolute, as parking places in Whitby are at a premium. The Flat Kitchen was well stocked with kitchen essentials. Overal the Flat is quiet and comfortable.
We had an issue with Host and Stay regarding the Damage Waive, however this was resolved amicably with Charlie, and all communications with Host and Stay were answered promptly.

We had a lovely stay at Shipwrights. The apartment had everything we needed. Only critique was that we felt that one of the mattresses could be due for a replacement but the other one in the second bedroom was very comfortable so we were fine.
Thanks for a brilliant stay and we’ll certainly be back xx

A modern first floor flat, designed and intended for the rental market. Had two sets of glass doors opening inwards in the lounge, but didn't have any curtains or blinds on them - both sets of windows were overlooked by neighbouring properties and they could see in at night, not ideal when you're trying to relax. Had everything you need, good parking space and ideally located for the town centre

Looks exactly like the photos.
Not much in the way of clothes storage but the apartment was comfy and we felt relaxed there.
There were a few niggles which we let H&S know about, hopefully these are addressed before the new guests arrive. Nothing that would stop us booking again.

Some of the high level cleaning wasn't done, with cobwebs in the bathroom and other areas.
Additional charge to Booking.com site as a deposit incase of breakages is added to the free you pay
One bed needed a new mattress as springs were broken

Everything was spot on and we would stay again. Great to have a designated parking space. One thing worth noting is the requirement to pay a £250 refundable deposit or buy a £25 insurance cover prior to check in information being shared. This is only made clear after the booking has been made and I think it should be made clear in the property description so it’s not a surprise and additional cost.
Other than this everything was as seen in the pictures and the property was well cleaned and stocked with everything you would need. The location is perfect for exploring Whitby and the surrounding area! Thanks for the great stay.

Lovely second floor apartment in a great location. Literally 4 mins walk into centre of Whitby. Allocated parking right in front of the block. Apartment itself very secure. Good size living/dining/kitchen area. Large fridge with the added bonus of a freezer. Would recommend.

Sarah

Good location - short walk into centre. Easy parking. Comfy beds. Good shower over bath.

Cheap furniture - lack of clothes storage in tiny drawers. Hardly any hangers. Bathroom floor Lino was creased. Sturdy good sized dining table but creaky benches.
Didn’t like the way Host & Stay operates…..happy to pay deposit (£250) but think taking a £10 fee before returning this money is such a cheek - never had this happen before! - was not aware of this at booking stage.

Lorna

The property location is excellent. Having a parking space allocated was a bonus to this accommodation. Very modern and airy.

When booking be careful you either have to put another £200.00 deposit down and it takes upto 14 days to receive back to which the host company take a fee of £10.00 or you have to pay £25.00 as a waiver insurance so extra cost.
The property does need a little maintenance. The bathroom shower leaks and needs fixing, you can see the leak has affected the bathroom and its been like it for some time. Blinds should be up in the living room it's been noted on previous reviews and would help with privacy to the property. A couple of chairs on the balcony would be nice and again reviews have been added on this. I think as this is managed by Host & Stay very little is taken on board or changes and improvements would be made.

Whilst I understand some people visiting the property may not look after it, the emails about the security deposit were rude. It wasn’t overly clean and communication with the hosts were difficult.

Hannah

Location was great, good bathroom with excellent shower and the large bed was comfy. The fridge/freezer was a good size too. The property has a parking space, which is a bonus as other properties in the area don't, the space for apartment 3 is 4, as we luckily bumped into the owner of apartment 4 who parks in 3 and told us we needed to park in space 4.

The TV didn't have a signal, so no live TV at all could be watched. I messaged the property, but unfortunately, nobody came back to me so we opted for the LG homescreen apps and watched YouTube! There's a balcony with a space to sit out but no chairs/table, which would have been a nice addition. There are no curtains at the property and blinds on the windows only, which meant you could be seen when sat on the couch or the other way, when you were in the kitchen by other apartments.

We liked the general apartment & good washer/drier.
Comfortable beds. Nice toiletries. Good parking once you discover which one is allocated to you.
Good fridge & easy walk to town.

The guy on the phone thought assisting us verbally was too much trouble. Dave raised his voice when I asked him to repeat the lockbox code(and then repeated it even faster when I mentioned that I didn’t have a pen handy in the car!) Basically there is no hospitality and it’s a do it yourself situation.
We’d never dealt with handles that one needs to raise before attempting to use the key to lock. A note on door to this affect could be helpful.


Martin the handyman was most helpful.
Hooks on the back of doors and in rooms would be useful.
The benches are going to collapse and need urgent maintenance.
Buses to Sandsend are very unreliable.
Outdoor chairs would be nice.

The location was great for getting around Whitby. The apartment was clean and modern, with everything you needed for a weekend break.

We had several issues which we raised as soon as we entered the property. It would have been nice to have had them resolved the next day as advised, but they were still outstanding when we left.

Unusually for me, I left some items of clothing in some drawers in the main bedroom as we were rushing to get out on time. This Included some lovely jeans that were a birthday present from my Mum and sister. I asked for them to be forwarded on to me and I offered to pay. Unfortunately they apparently weren’t there as cleaners didn’t find them. This has never happened to us before. We were very disappointed. So make sure you carefully check you’ve cleared all your things in any properties managed by host & stay as you won’t be seeing them again.

Good location, with parking.

The £250:00 damages deposit after we had booked and the £10 non refundable admin charge for the damage deposit. All charges should be clearly visible when making the booking. Also being bombarded with messages about leaving the property as soon as we arrived. We knew when to check out, we didn’t need reminding twice daily.
The lack of privacy in the main living area, there are 2 french doors with no curtains or blinds and you are overlooked from both sides.
Lack of storage space, the hoover and mop and bucket shared the living space with us.

At first, we didn’t receive any request for a deposit. When we arrived in Whitby and checked Airbnb, we realised that a £250 deposit was required, all of which made checking into the flat very rushed. We struggled to find the address and key box. To be honest, the flat wasn't bad as it wasn't cheap to rent it.

Lucy

excellent location, parking was a bonus, spacious and had everything we needed.

it was abit tired in places like the bathroom flooring not fitting properly, scuffs and chipped paint in areas. Master bedroom matttress could do with being replaced.

Mike

1 year ago

Location was OK and it had a parking space, however the sat nav instructions were poor and took us to the wrong address.

The furniture was cheap and nasty, the bathroom wasn't clean, the mattresses were cheap and beyond their usable life. There were no curtains or blinds at the windows and therefore no privacy from the other properties that directly overlooked Shipwrights. The property lacked storage space, highlighted by the fact the hoover, mop and bucket were in a corner in the kitchen.
Host and Stay physically took a deposit of £250 1-week before arrival and charged me £10 for the privilege (the other option was to pay a £25 insurance fee - another hidden charge!) Some 3-weeks later, despite multiple phone calls, my deposit still has not been refunded. This is tantamount to operating a scam. I would not recommend this property and will avoid Host and Stay on any future bookings.

The location was very good in that only a few minutes walk to the centre of Whitby. Beds were comfy, there was a good deal of space, parking right outside the apartment and the apartment appeared to have everything you needed for a short break.

The apartment had not been cleaned properly as there was mess on the bathroom window, cobwebs throughout the property, marks on all the patio doors and the floor was dirty in places.
Quite difficult to park the car in a tight spot on a small back street especially when there were cars parked on either side of the parking space allocated to this apartment. No views of anything other than other similar properties.
Appears very expensive for what you get when there were better properties in the town centre with sea/harbour views (why you come to Whitby) and lower price.

1st experience of this type of accommodation so was a little wary of what to expect. However, the apartment was stunning, exceptionally clean and even a pint of milk in the fridge for that initial cuppa on arrival. Parking was secure and made a real difference to our stay. Apartment was in a quiet location, only 10 minute stroll to town centre though so handy for everything. Brilliant experience and we had a lovely break away.

No real complaints. Just worthy of a mention is the tv. It claims to have freeview but this is not accurate and you need to log into various tv apps so no live tv other than bbc. However, only really put tv on in the morning during breakfast and last thing at night so not a major issue.

The location is close to the centre. All the amenities within the apartment were all that you could possibly need for our stay.

We found the bed was a little lumpy. Only one of the bedrooms had hanging space for clothes. If there had been more people staying there wouldn’t have been enough comfortable seating.

Self catering so no breakfast available but location was perfect for access into Whitby.
Although we didn't cook the equipment levels were good had we wanted to.
It was a nice touch to find tea coffee and a milk in the apartment
Very easy to walk to the harbour and up to the Abbey.
Being off the main road it was also pleasantly quiet but still very accessible.

The only very minor negative was that the bathroom fan seems to run for ages after using but a really very minor niggle.

From the moment we walked in we knew we'd made the right choice. Not clear exactly where the block was for a start but omce parked up the motorbike never moved till we left. Easy 5 minute walk into town. Handy for everything. Already planning a longer stay than the 2 nights we had this trip. Comfy beds, and everything you could possibly need. We were plenty warm enough so possibly benefit from a fan in the bedroom if it was really warm outside..

Was really handy to have a washing machine/dryer, especially when coming back from the beach.

They provided all the cleaning products, toilet/kitchen roll, even dishwasher and washing machine tablets so we didn’t have to buy anything apart from food!

Could of done with a clothes airer as my daughters baby clothes can’t go in the dryer.
No cupboard space to store food.
No furniture on balcony so you can’t actually sit out there.
