Not the best Air BnB we’ve ever stayed in- house felt quite unloved and not homely at all which was a shame. Needs some TLC- lots of stains on walls, stain on blankets, dusty, holes that need filling in bathroom, missing pieces in all games. It was cold on arrival and no firewood available to start a fire, all local shops shut so unable to buy any, would have been nice for a few to be left or heating to be set to come on for arrival- this would be easy as it had smart thermostat. Loud noise started between 7:30-8am over the weekend right outside due to fisherman fixing crab nets so no lay in unfortunately. It’s also the only place we have had to pay extra after booking for insurance so beware of this extra cost. Parking and dropping off bags was really difficult. Despite the above, it’s in a great location right near the beach and good pubs. Bed was super comfy and they left extras for us such as tea, coffee, milk and toiletries which was nice. All in all probably wouldn’t recommend.

This is a very cosy cottage in a wonderful location. Right near the beach/harbour and everything you need. We were 4 adults and 3 dogs and was a bit of a squeeze but we were out most of the day anyway. Great walks and pubs nearby.

Charming cottage in great location in Staithes. We had a lovely time although wouldn’t stat at another airB&B serviced by Host and Stay out of choice. Lack of instructions although paid an extra £25 (rather than a large deposit and £10 admin fee) for insurance as a hidden extra cost which I’ve not experienced before.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful so well considered comfortable and stylish. The kitchen is really well stocked with all of the equipment you could need and modern appliances. Located in a fabulous place close to the beach. Unfortunately it was absolutely freezing on arrival, we have stayed in Staithes many many times and have benefitted from some complimentary logs left as we arrived on a Sunday check in is pretty late….. so it would have been lovely to have been left a couple of logs given how late check in is…. We know heating is a challenge in Staithes however with the ttechnology available it is possible to work around. also very difficult to open key box took over and hour, didn’t find hot water switch until the next day. We were locked out accidentally which was well responded to but we were then charged an absolute fortune to have the door opened by someone very local!! Would definitely stay again but in warmer months not for older people or young babies at this time of yr

Great location in a beautiful village 25m from a pub! It's small but more than adequate for a few days stay. However the listing says there is free parking on premises. There isn't but there is parking close by for 40 minutes but you then need to park a 7/8 minute walk away up a steep hill. This is free in January and February though.

A compact and nicely renovated cottage, good shower in wet room, good kitchen diner, cosy sitting room, comfortable double bed. This cottage is situated behind Cod and Lobster in a shared passageway, you can park nearby for dropping off luggage. No parking nearby, car parks at top of village. We have been coming to Staithes for several years and love the village.

The cottage is in a perfect location to get around Staithes. We had a great time. As per other reviews, it is a cosy cottage, so would not recommend for four adults or families with older children unless you are planning to be out and about a lot. There are just three of us and our daughter is still little, so it was perfect. Finally, be aware the road down to the cottage is a narrow and parking is charged at £10 for 24 hours.

Nice cottage in an idylic spot. More attention to detail required for the cleaning. Biggest problem is the damage deposit required and the conditions attached. Had to put down a £250 damage deposit (fair enough) and pay a £10 admin fee!!! Baring in mind I had to personally log onto their site and then arrange payment from my bank it would seem that the admin fee is owed to me...... Biggest beef is that the host agency are not clear that the hold you deposit for 14 DAYS after your departure and then state it may take another 10 days for my bank to clear it. How on earth this is justifiable is beyond me. Beware of hostandstay if you don't want them sitting on your deposit for weeks after you stay is over. Leaves a really bad taste.

Our second time in Staithes, we love how friendly everyone is, the great beach and others nearby, love the Cod and Lobster pub, little shops and cafes. A perfect village for a long weekend. Gun Gutter House was incredibly small and we would not stay in this accommodation again, even though the location was 10/10. It does technically sleep 4 people as advertised, but it’s not suitable for 4. The kitchen is perfect but I wouldn’t advise you stay here if you would all like to relax together in the living room of an evening - it is not big enough for this at all. We arrived at around 6pm and the heating had not been put on for our arrival and so the house was ice cold - we could see our own breath it was so cold. Even after putting the heaters on it did not warm up for 24 hours meaning an incredibly uncomfortably cold first night for us, our children and dog. We also could not light a fire to provide warmth until the second day as there was no kindling provided.

This cottage is in an amazing location. We even took our morning cuppa down to the sea front as it was a 30 second walk. It was lovely to be there before all the other tourists arrived, as it was so peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is well equipped with everything you can think of in the kitchen cupboards! However for the price we paid we did expect a slightly higher standard of cottage. It was cute and unique, however a bit tired in areas and needed a refresh. It didn’t feel fresh. Perhaps a deep clean and paint in areas. If you are wanting location this is your place!

The house was lovely and cozy and very clean. In a good position for the pub too. We had a problem of not being able to open the back door that was at the bottom of the stairs, which I reported, but just got an email saying hope it didn’t spoil our stay. I was quite anxious in case we needed to get out. I also thought was a bit expensive.

Some places say they are dog friendly and then make it feel like fort knox with the dos and donts. Here they are very accommodating and realistic. We’ll definitely be back.

A really great property in many ways, good location, great facilities, comfortable bed. Great place to stay. One big issue for us - we arrived and found the toilet seat completely unattached and unable to be sat on - as you can imagine, very difficult and we had to use a local pub for certain toilet needs…!! Whilst Host and Stay did send maintenance swiftly the next day (thank you, genuinely), we had a toilet we could not sit on for almost 50% of our stay. I have asked for a partial refund and am currently being offered £32 after paying £400 for the booking. I find this quite insulting, a fully useable toilet is crucial to hygiene needs. Host and Stay could have avoided this entirely by carrying out proper checks on the property before our arrival. First time I’ve had an issue with an Airbnb booking, so a bit disappointed.

Excellent location in the heart of Staithes, very close to the beach and the pub. Lovely and quiet with a very comfy bed and brand new kitchen. The toilet was leaking during our stay which was a shame but hopefully that will be rectified soon. Our first time in Staithes, we had arranged private parking but it was still a good walk up the hill. Excellent ice cream and pizza shop in the village called Cobbles, well worth a visit!

The fire made it so cosy and warm. We had an issue with the lock on the front door on our last night which was resolved quickly and efficiently by the really friendly maintenance team. We will definitely be returning.

We absolutely loved our stay at Gun Gutter House. The place is very well modernised, very clean and warm. We have stayed at many properties in Staithes and this is one of the best. It is a little smaller than expected but it is a lovely place with every you could need. The location is so close to the Cod & Lobster and the beach. We couldn’t recommend this property enough. We loved it.

We enjoyed our stay in Gun Gutter House. The house was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location - less than a minute's walk to the Cod and Lobster - was great and the bed in the main bedroom was comfortable, if a little small. The property does have two bedrooms but from a size perspective I think that with four people it would have felt cramped - it was just about right for the two of us. We had a great time in Staithes - lovely pub, beautiful walking along the cliffs towards Runswick Bay. Thanks for having us....

Staithes is a hidden gem and well work visiting. The property is brilliantly located and as described. Be aware that car parking is at the top of the hill, out of season the small council car park is free, otherwise it is £10 for 24 hours. Loading is permitted near the property, but spaces are limited.

30 second walk to The Cod and Lobster, 60 seconds to the beach! Cottage is very small but perfectly formed for a short break. Great for a couple or for 2 couples if you are well acquainted and using the cottage as a base to explore Staithesand the surrounding area. Beds are super comfy and kitchen well equipped. Bathroom needs some tlc but is perfectly functional.

This is a beautifully appointed cottage in the heart of the village, perfect for accessing all Staithes has to offer but tucked away up a quiet street so you aren't disturbed by many passers by. The cottage is well equipped -the kitchen especially and the table comfortably seats 4 so eating in is easy. Beds are really comfortable with fantastic high quality linen. It was really nice to have plenty of towels provided as well -even though we were only there for a couple of days. The only down side is that while the living room is beautifully furnished it is small and as a family of 4 we weren't able to comfortably watch TV together -not a problem on a short stay but for a longer holiday there isn't much room. Probably not such an issue if your children are small though. The hosts were really helpful and really quick to answer any questions.

Gun Gutter House is a beautifully appointed cosy cottage. The space is very stylish, with a fantastic open fire, everything you could need in the kitchen and a large bathroom. The main bed is wonderfully comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. The location is literally a stone‘S throw from the very picturesque harbour and the local pub is at the end of the street. There are great little coffee shops in the village and lovely coastal walks straight from the front door. We had a couple of queries during our stay and communication with the host was very prompt, very helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again.

This is everything you want from a cottage and more. It is in a tiny ally, that has a certain aroma at the entrance due to the bins of the pub but it is all good once you get to the front door of this authentic cottage. It is so near to the beach that when my wife wanted a coffee, I - yes, I! - could pop back and make her one with the ample supply of capsules provided. Bedding was super crisp and beds comfy. Loved our stay.
