We stayed at the apartment for 3 days with our 2 old pugs. It is very stylish with a well equipped kitchen. The bathrooms were very clean and the soap & shower gel felt very high end. Saltburn is an amazing place and the apartment is right in the heart of it. Would definitely recommend.

RichardBooking.comSep 2025

Spacious and comfortable apartment, well located and good value for money. We shall return!! Positive: The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, the en suite to one of the bedrooms was a bonus as we didn't realise there was one. The apartment is in an excellent location situated on the main road through the town, with some lovely bars, cafes and shops as well as a supermarket conveniently located nearby. Parking was never a problem and all the on street parking is free, if we didn't get parked right outside the door then we were less than a minutes walk away. The beach was only a five minute walk away although be prepared for a steep climb back up the steps, also some lovely walks in the nearby valley country park which picks up the Cleveland way, my dog had the best time exploring on woodland walks and along the side of Skelton beck. For an alternative beach walk, Marske is only 5 minutes drive again with free parking for upto 4 hours, or you could walk there in about 40 minutes, Redcar is another couple of miles north of Marske with more chance of walking on the beach The host was great at communicating before, during and after our stay, we will definitely be looking at returning next year Negative: Nothing really that we disliked about the property

great apart from problems mentioned Positive: apartment was great containing all that was needed Negative: key box was next door and took us about 10 minutes to locate we were not warned that there were 4 flights of stairs. i am 82 so struggled with suitcases and access to and fro central heating not working so we had to call someone to fix it Bed too low, struggled to get out

AirbnbAug 2025

The flat was lovely, clean and spacious. I was travelling with elder parents with slight mobility issues and we hadn't realised it was two not one flight of stairs up to the flat which made access a bit difficult for them. I also didn't realise that Saltburn was so steep down to the sea front when booking however there was a regular bus service that my parents could jump on to get up and down the hill while I walked up and down the hill. Local amenities were great with some lovely restaurants and bars and there was really easy access on the train or bus to local towns and villages. Overall a really lovely stay despite some of the mobility issues.

What a lovely spot for a weekend getaway! Saltburn is home to me as I'm from Skelton and I was in the area visiting my parents with a friend. Host was incredibly proactive at sending helpful information and instructions throughout for our arrival, stay and departure. The flat itself was so nice, super bright spaceous and clean. We each had our own comfy bedrooms & bathrooms stocked with plenty of amenities. The flat is about a 10 minute walk from door to beach and is conveniently located right next to the train station/supermarket. Glad I found this place. Will definitely be staying again in future! One tiny feedback is some smaller espresso cups for the coffee machine as the current mugs don't fit under the drip :)

EdwardBooking.comJan 2024

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in the apartment over Saltburn Folk Festival weekend. The apartment was ideally placed at the centre of Saltburn to explore the shops and cafes, plus a short walk to the beach and our young son loved the miniature railway. The accommodation was clean and well presented as per the pictures. We loved our stay and hope to visit again soon.

Artsbank apartment is positioned in the heart of Saltburn. Only a couple of doors down from some lovely bars and restaurants and over the road from Sainsbury’s. Ample free street parking too which is a bonus. 5-10 minutes walk from the beach and more restaurants. The apartment was clean and tidy when we arrived, much bigger than the photos show. We arrived to find that the awful rain and wind had blown the living room window open, allowing rain to be all over the wooden floor, wet curtains and rug. I phoned host and stay and they arranged for the maintenance staff to be there within an hour and a half on New Year’s Eve. The friendly guy came and sorted it for us. Could ask for much more. Really happy with the location and space provided and we would definitely recommend to others.

Great location and renovated building, apartment light and spacious. Its my second time to stay, clean, good beds. Just little disappointed to see no real maintenance mould in the silicone in the showers. Lack of the most basic kitchen utensils, most pans unusable as Teflon scraped off, Two wine glasses etc for four adults, we bought some from Sainsburys across he road. Cafe next door is fab 'The real food company' and also 'Rapps' again a few doors away highly recomend to eat, Great staff

Artsbank Apartment, Saltburn-on-sea is a true gem. The facilities are quality, the space and feel is fabulous. We had a 2 night stay and we were not disappointed. Communication with the hosting company was excellent. Can’t wait to stay again….it’s going to be a regular one for me :-)

Positive: Great location in the centre of Saltburn. Spacious apartment with plenty of room for two couples. Negative: The tiles in the onsuite bathroom are damaged. There was a dirty/mouldy chopping board in one of the kitchen cupboards. The living area could do with another sofa or comfy chair - there is a 3person sofa and separate chair. The separate chair is hard and not comfortable after a while.

Lovely apartment, very well furnished in a great spot. Check in time seems to get later and later each time we book (4pm). Which is a bit tight to be honest. 3pm is more than reasonable. Also the indemnity fee is very unnecessary. It adds £25 each time we book as we travel with small children and don’t want to part with £250 (and a £10 admin fee 🙄)that we potentially won’t get back.

Positive: Location and access to the town Negative: Teenagers were very noisy on the street after dark around 10 or more at a time and the police did attend at one point.

Artsbank Apartment is as advertised - a modernized flat in a historic building. The location in the heart of Saltburn could not be more convenient to the train station and a supermarket. The kitchen is well appointed for those who are interested in eating in although the amenities (e.g., washing up liquid, napkins, spices, etc.) were a little skimpy. Not a fatal flaw but worth noting nonetheless. Bathrooms were spotless and modern. All in all, this is a terrific place for exploring all the Northeast has to offer.

Positive: The location of the apartment. The helpful people. Honey and especially Finn who came out on a Sunday evening to get the boiler working. Negative: Cold and unwelcoming, a broken window by the bed. Not enough comfy seating for the four guests.

Artsbank was a lovely clean property with allworking facilities you would expect for a short stay. The location is central to the town and street parking was available close by.

What a lovely apartment , right in the center of town. No issues parking , shops nearby and a stones throw from a fantastic beach. You have to have a ride in the funicular . Everywhere was so clean and we just loved the beach. Seaview restaurant was really good as we had a person in the party who was gluten free which was not an issue. Looking out at the sea while having your meal was brilliant. Would definitely stay again.

A great apartment in a good location. Great for all amenities and would definitely stay again .

AndyBooking.comOct 2025

A perfect week in a very nice apartment. Positive: Artsbank had everything we needed, a comfy bed a well equipped kitchen and a flat screen TV plus all facilities including a washing machine and a dishwasher. It was also in a prime location in the town, with great cafes and bars on the doorstep, we had a lovely stay. Negative: Only the stairs up.

The apartment was as describe, immaculate and very comfortable. The location was excellent, a short walk to the beach and shops.

AirbnbOct 2025

On arrival it was bright, spacious and comfortable enough. Beds were very comfy to sleep in. There were a couple of areas that could have done with a bit more clean. There were also a few other issues which were mentioned to ‘Host and Stay’, and they were fairly prompt at getting back to us. Occasionally there was some noise from youths congregating outside the pizza place in the evening, but they didn’t stay too long. Overall a reasonable stay.

LeanneBooking.comJul 2025

Lovely location disappointing apartment Positive: Great location, spacious and stylish, good water pressure, nice towels Negative: Not cleaned to high enough standard, pet hair on sofa and rugs, dirty carpet, mouldy tea towel provided! Windows not opening/closing well, no blackout blinds, only 4 mugs for the apartment, no hooks in bathrooms, ensuite basin draining very slowly, strong mouldy smell in bedroom cupboard.

AngelaVrboJul 2025

Great apartment in a lovely central location close to all amenities. Saltburn is a lovely town with a beautiful beach and plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from. Even in July parking outside the apartment wasn’t a problem. We loved it and look forward to returning.

The stay was great. However communication were bad because you used my old email address not my present address. I phoned many times to try and rectify this but the problem continued even with this email

MichaelBooking.comJun 2025

A very comfortable flat in central location in town . Positive: Spacious comfortable flat in a very good location. Negative: Windows needed black out curtains as it was a bright for the summer mornings.

CarolBooking.comMay 2025

Just not up to scratch Positive: Lots of space & nice bright rooms. Very bright on an early morning in May... Comfortable but could do with an extra tub chair in room. Negative: It was quite dusty in places when we arrived so felt the need to go over work tops and tables etc. May have been due to the constant air vent going like the clappers as it was a very windy Bank Holiday weekend. The first bedroom first window would not seal properly so curtains blowing constantly & when bedroom doors closed on an evening constantly banging because of this. So not a restful sleep as hoped. The bed in the first bedroom also dips in the middle a little & mattress too soft for me. The main bathroom hand towel left for us was wringing wet but folded for use so an oversight there. Found a clean dry one in a cupboard in the kitchen so wasn't a problem. On suite shower door wouldn't close properly so leaked through & mopped up but could do with some attention. I've been overall disappointed with Host & Stay properties the last couple of bookings so not sure I will be booking again. It's the attention to detail that's lacking & not the luxury as advertised. It was OK, but who's looking for OK!!

Second visit, great spot. Thanks.

AirbnbApr 2025

The apartment is in the perfect location for exploring Saltburn-by-the-Sea. It’s right at the heart of the town centre, with all the shops, bars and restaurants within a very short walk. Everything is furnished to a very high, stylish and comfortable standard. Despite its proximity to the bars etc. we didn’t experience any real noise. Our only slight issue was that the curtains in the bedrooms aren’t lined, so it was very light after sunrise. An eye mask might be useful for the summer months

IngridBooking.comApr 2025

Lovely clean apartment in the perfect location for our trip. Positive: Great location, comfortable, good decor and comfortable beds. Negative: Mat at the entrance to the flat is very slippy. Only 2 wine glasses.

AirbnbMar 2025

This is a very ideal location. You have numerous bars, cafes, and restaurants within a few blocks, as well as the beach. I like the apartment, it was clean and comfortable, with a nice view. My only constructive feedback is for Dale to send less automated messages, as they were excessive and made it difficult to find the pertinent information quickly. But I highly recommend his place and would love to stay there again if I'm ever back in Saltburn.

JulieBooking.comMar 2025

Great place to stay Positive: Great location. Clean, lovely high ceilings Negative: On suite shower a little small

AmyBooking.comMar 2025

Fantastic location with everything you need. Positive: Great communication prior to arrival, duri g and on leaving. Fantastic location.

GeorginaBooking.comMar 2025

Positive: We stayed at this apartment in 2021. The host warned us about scaffolding and works taking place right outside the main living room. We were offered no discount for this despite having to keep the curtains closed for privacy. This time when we stayed, we couldn't believe there was scaffolding outside the bedroom windows and again we had to keep the curtains closed as men we're working just outside our windows. This time we hadn't been warned about the works taking place. The apartment was nice originally but after staying for a second time we noticed that it is a tired and dirty. The check-in at 4pm is very late especially as we were offered an earlier check-in time of 11am (at an extra charge of £30), so if apartment is ready why make people wait until 4pm. And then you have to vacate at 10am which is not good 'time' value for a 2 day stay.

AlanAveryBooking.comFeb 2025

Superb !! Positive: Brilliant venue, ideally located and the hosts were attentive with all the information, the location is superb and so is the property. Negative: Nothing

JeanBooking.comFeb 2025

We love Saltburn so it didn’t take alter our holiday bit it could have been better. Positive: Location, easiness of parking and easy to relax Negative: The bathrooms need an update, mould in the silicone and seals and broken parts. Comfortable seating in the lounge area for 4.

Fantastic flat and location, saltburn is a nice seaside town. way too many messages before during and after from the hosting company. otherwise a fantastic stay

JackieVrboJan 2025

Artsbank -Saltburn The property was perfect, as was the location. Free parking across the road, although Saltburn is quiet mid week in January

AirbnbJan 2025

The flat is very conveniently located on the same street as several good quality cafes, restaurants and independent shops with other facilities just a few minutes walk away. It is also just a few minutes’ walk to the promenade and the beach. Transport links are good and there are regular trains and buses to nearby towns and beyond. The flat was very clean and comfortable and there are good views of New Marske woods from the lounge. It was my third stay there.

JamieVrboJan 2025

Excellent stay Thank you Lovely living area with the 3 large windows Location right in the midst of the main area for cafes and independent shops

FayeBooking.comOct 2024

Perfect relaxation and will definitely return Positive: The space, layout and location were perfect. There was everything we needed during our stay. Negative: The only minor grumbles the bed sheets were too short and the duvets a bit thin and not wide enough. There was a significant draft from the extraction fan in the dining /lounge space. The shower in the en-suite fused after each use. None of which spoiled the stay

AirbnbOct 2024

Artsbank Apartment exceeded our expectations on all accounts, the photographs just didn’t do it justice. You wanted for nothing and the place was immaculate. I would unequivocally recommend Artsbank Apartment to anybody.

GinaBooking.comOct 2024
GraemeBooking.comSep 2024

Apartment was very good but requires more and better lounge seating.

AirbnbSep 2024

Saltburn is a beautiful place, and the Artsbank apartment was really well located for the beach and local shops. Initial impression on entering the apartment was good-looked like the photos, lovely high ceilings and lots of light. I was disappointed with the poor attention to detail. The apartment was described as ‘luxury’, and for the price paid I think that’s a stretch. Previous reviews describe grubby sealant round showers. Still an issue. The shower in the en suite leaked everywhere because the door seal was broken at the bottom. The kitchen was poorly stocked. No oven gloves, limited cookware, few glasses. As lovely as it was to have a coffee machine to use, the only cups suitable for use with it were too large to fit underneath. I don’t think it’s acceptable to spring a surprise breakages deposit on guests and fail to upkeep the property when these things are continuously raised by guests. They’re small things which would make a big difference.

AirbnbSep 2024

Artsbank was really just as it looked on website. Great location. Furnished well, great kitchen area. Met all our needs. Would stay again without a doubt.

MichaelBooking.comSep 2024

Great place to stay but be careful of booking cost w see w Ed d Positive: The place was very nice and excellent location Negative: Clean tidy and great location

AirbnbJul 2024

What a lovely apartment a few minutes walk from the beach with small cafes and wine bars on the same road. The apartment itself was lovely. Large bedrooms and lovely living dining kitchen. The view from all of the windows made the walk to the third floor worth it.

Nice 3 nights in Saltburn. Apartment spot on and bang in center of high street. 4 flights of steps to access apartment but warned in advance so we knew what to expect, loads of shops bars and restraurants within minutes walk.

AndrewBooking.comJul 2024

Positive: The location was great. Close to some top places to eat and drink. A short walk to the cliff top and beach..20 minutes drive to Staithes for a visit. Negative: Everything worked for us. Nothing of note on the negative side.

AirbnbJun 2024

The apartment is lovely and in a great location. It was clean and well decorated. We did however, feel like it was quite expensive. Host and Stay come across as impersonal. There were lots of signs stating rules (4 as soon as you enter). We received multiple messages throughout the stay about reporting damage and reminding us to check out. This made us feel unwelcome. There were items missing, like oven gloves and washing up liquid, this made it challenging to cook in the kitchen. the check in and check out are later and earlier than most and had no flexibility. We are unhappy about paying the £25 for insurance. We have never had to do this on air BnB and on top of an expensive property, this seems excessive and unnecessary. We knew that we would have to pay this upon booking, we struggled to find a property that isn't managed by this company. For us, this isn't what we look for in air BnB and we won't be booking a property managed by this company again.

AirbnbMay 2024

It’s not made clear when booking with Host & Stay that ‘all reservations need to have a damage waiver in place, or a damage deposit held prior to arrival’. Only after this payment will they send all check-in details. The demand is made a couple of weeks prior to the arrival date. It’s either £25 damage waiver (non refundable), or £250 security deposit (£240 refunded - £10 admin charge). Because of this policy we will never book accommodation which is managed by Host & Stay again.

AirbnbMay 2024

Nice little home away from home

AirbnbMay 2024

Artsbank apartment was exactly as described on the website. A contemporary feel to the place and well situated for the cafes/ bistros/bars in the town centre. Issues with cleaning however. Worktops in the kitchen were sticky, mirror in main room and internal windows also. Visibly greasy. Minor issues with maintenance in bathroom. Sealant around bath needs replacing due to blackening over time with use, as does the shower screen bath seal needs removing and cleaning. Just observations that would make this place that little more to the rating it deserves. That said, it didn’t detract too much from a really pleasant stay. We would recommend and would come back without hesitation. P.S. Beds were so comfy!!

JulieBooking.comMay 2024

An excellent stay in a pleasant airy apartment. The only problem we had was checking in. The location of the key safe is far from clear and staff in the adjacent shop mentioned that many people had problems finding the key safe. A photo of the key safe location would have helped. It was also very difficult to open the key safe, the buttons needing to be pressed well in to the face plate.

Had a lovely stay at the Artsbank apartment. It was a lovely temperature when we walked in, which was very needed in the cold and wet weather. It is a great size - perfect for our weekend getaway. The linen was extremely clean and the bath and shower rooms were lovely. It makes your holiday so much nicer when you can indulge in a lovely warm bath and powerful shower. Thank you - we will definitely stay again.

Enjoyed a few days break in lovely apartment in the centre of Saltburn By The Sea. Close to all amenities - shops, places to eat/drink and fabulous coastal walks. Well equipped and comfortable apartment which enabled us to relax and settle as soon as we walked through the door.

HelenBooking.comFeb 2024

A nice night away Positive: Location and period features Negative: Sofa/seating: no comfort

AlisonBooking.comFeb 2024

Highly recommended Positive: Very smart and spacious apartment, lovely and light, carpets were positively luxurious. Very comfy beds. Massive fridge and freezer. Excellent wifi. Negative: The kitchen was well equipped however it was let down by there not being quite enough cutlery and wine glasses, no oven gloves and a fairly random supply of saucepans and bits and bobs. The shower in the en-suite was not as good as the one in the other bathroom! Be careful you don’t slip on the doormat by the flat’s front door.

AirbnbJan 2024

Second stay here. Great, convenient location near the station and in the middle of eating places and local shops. A few minutes walk to the beach. Very clean.

AirbnbDec 2023

Artsbank apartment was in a great location, easily assemble to pubs, restaurants, sea front and supermarket. The apartment is beautifully spacious, there were a number of issues that were raised whilst we were there, a number of windows were very drafty and the airvent in lounge diner was blowing a gale. We found there wasn't adequate cooking supplies - very sparce crockery and cutlery, pots and pans. The standard of cleanliness wasn't upto high end accommodation advertised. Seals around both shiweres were dirty, bathtub had scum mark around. Light fittings in lounge - diner very dusty, plus tv and small table not dusted. There was no token of reimbursement of any money just an apology and the company will deal with it and thanks for raising these issues. The cleaning fee is steep and thz checkin and out timings are on the mean side. I did request a later checkout but was told they were unable to honour due to hugh standard of cleaning regime and cleaning schedule!!
