    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Alexander - Verified booking

      A lovely cottage in an ideal location just set back from the High Street away from the any noise but close enough for a short walk to the harbour, shops and pubs!

      Views of the harbour from both the living room and bedrooms, with pretty much everything you need for a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Would we return, most definitely however there are a few snags that must be rectified, in particular the mattresses on the single beds in the twin room. These were awful and almost ruined the holiday as even the kids aged 14 and 9 complained about how uncomfortable they were. Other minor snags were mentioned to the lovely couple that manage the property so we hope they are rectified, such as: Leaking Roof in twin room - By the eaves it slowly dripped water Wheelie Bins - Haven't been emptied for some time, more than the 2 weeks as they smelled pretty bad and were getting maggots Bath plug - Need a knife or long nails to prise it out Shower lead - Needs replacing Toilet Roll holder - Hanging off Garden / Yard - Needs to be cleaned with something like Jeyes fluid as you could smell pet waste Windows - Only a few opened and it felt a bit stuffy and damp, in need of air. It states open the windows where you can but they've been glossed over Finally, whilst it advertises as no parking or wifi, it would really benefit from having a parking space at Bank Top or somewhere up there, I wouldn't have minded paying the extra as it cost me £6 per day anyway, but was a pain sat around waiting for a free space. I loved the fact there was no internet, but with no phone signal as well, during Covid-19 this makes it terribly difficult to plan and book into locations as it meant we had to travel to the pub to steal their wifi to book into places or telephone. It sounds more negative than positive, trust me it wasn't it was a lovely, memorable break away with the family. All that is needed to elevate it is some minor attention, I'm sure you would be able to charge more as well for the privilege.

      Lovely cottage - the owner said they’d had many holidays there and that was what made a difference I think.

      It felt cosy like a real “home” as soon as you walked in. The decor was not the cheap “make do and mend” that you often find - it was really nicely and tastefully done. The cottage was very well equipped and the owners had anticipated most of the needs of visitors. The welcome pack was very welcome. Thank you. The cottage was lovely and clean, very warm and comfortable. It has traditional features (including a few spooky creaks and groans. We swear we heard a young child say “Daddy” just outside the bedroom door one night….. we hid under the duvet) A couple of “even better if’s”: (1) the dishwasher didn’t work properly and after three washes we had to wash the pots by hand as they were not clean at all (2) maybe leave some washing up liquid and a couple of dishwasher tabs for the next visitors (we left dish cloths). (3) The property is very difficult to find. I couldn’t find it on Google Earth so texted for clarification a few days before we went. I did not get a reply. We couldn’t find it where the post code led us, so we scoured the streets - the locals in the pub hadn’t heard of it either. The contact numbers provided were all the same number and not answered (no signal in the village so had to drive a couple of miles out of the village till I could get a signal). At one point, we even considered having to return home or find a Premier Inn for the night. I don’t know if this will help future visitors but I took the “what three words” reference: ///stylist.recorders.signature Somehow, we did spot the cottage on what was our last attempt. Negatives aside, all in all a lovely visit to a lovely cottage in a beautiful village. Our third stay in Staithes and the best cottage so far. We will be back.

      You need to read the feed back and act upon it.

      Most of the cottage was covered in thick dust. One main light bulb was broken and one in the bedroom missing completely. (Should have been checked ) The beds in the second bedroom are still really bad as previously mentioned by a number of previous guests. We first stayed in this cottage 7 years ago but not again. It is a very tired holiday cottage. The chest of draws in the main bedroom has broken draws in the second bedroom they were dirtier on the inside than on the outside. You might want to check on the slug living in the second bedroom. The kitchen had a note asking us to water the plants- what plants every plant pot was growing weeds and stinging nettles. I did cut these down as we wanted to sit outside. You expect bird mess with so many seagulls around but this was the only cottage with bins and the front door caked in it. None of the windows in the lounge would open nor the main one in the kitchen, we had lovely weather but the only way to get air into the lounge was to sit with the front and back doors open. The crockery is a miss match from the local jumble. We managed to find four dinner plates but one was chipped. We bought 4 mugs and donated them at the end of the week. As far as extra cleaning regarding covid 19 I think someone needs to learn the basics of what a duster can do. In 7 years the walls have been painted and the wall art changed but the cottage is no longer presents as your pictures on line show. It is tired, run down and in desperate need of some TLC.

    • Stephanie - Verified booking

      We have already left a hand written letter with the owner.

      My sister and I were so disappointed with the state of the accommodation. Basically the house was grubby and dirty and there was even mould in the bathroom. What did not help was that it is painfully obvious that sea gulls and their excrement dominate the area. This is understandable as Staithes is by the sea bit what is not acceptable is that the owners, or their representatives, have made no effort to clear up the mess left by the sea gulls. The rear courtyard was unusable due to the excrement both on the ground and on the furniture. On approaching the house the flower pots on each side were totally neglected and gave a very poor first impression. Surfaces throughout the house were dirty and sticky and even the table mats stuck to the table. Kitchen pans were disgusting and need replacing. The mould in the bathroom (base of bath and tiles) was clearly visible and we have photos of it. In essence the house was unkempt and had clearly not been cleaned properly. We would have expected some sort of welcome pack as this has been normal for us at other rentals. Least of our worries was that there was only one wine glass!! My sister and I spend a few days every year renting a cottage somewhere in the UK and this accommodation was by far the worst we have experienced. Grimes Cottage by name - Grime by nature! Regards, Stephanie & Rosemary

    • Margaret - Verified booking

      This cottage was a great find.

      Much to my joy, there were fresh flowers in the kitchen, milk in the fridge, crisps, sweets and a local cake awaiting us along with tea and coffee. Tea towels and cleaning products were supplied too. The woodburner was laid and ready to be lit. The owner had obviously listened to previous suggestions and acted on all of them except for supplying an airer. There is an outside line but no pegs. Parking off road at the front was a bonus. New kitchen and bathroom. Courtyard will be a lovely space in the summer with table, chairs and a bbq. Unfortunately, at present, the solar lights were not working but it is only March! Bench in the front garden catches the sun. Would definitely like to return here again. Village has 2 pubs, both serving food, an excellent butcher, petrol station and hairdressers (l think). Close to beaches and on a very efficient bus route.
