Host & Stay | Iburn House — Guest Reviews

A lovely comfortable spacious home with all you need for a perfect family stay. Thank you Positive: Spacious new modern house in a great location. With home to home amenities. Negative: Some areas of the house could have been a little cleaner. Eg couch and cushions and carpet could have done with a clean. Cutlery,utensils, cups and plates and pans needed washing before using. But Nothing too much of a problem impacting our stay.

A wonderful house in a lovely location. The house is a new build and very modern. There was sufficient utensils although the two frying pans were unusable and need replacing, thankfully our family were coming the next day and brought ours. We did mention it to the host who asked if he could help, we didn’t need it but hopefully you change the pans for your next customers. Also the location on your map didn’t take us to the property, so it took us a while to find. When I was inside the house I sent the pin location on google maps to my family and it brought them straight to the house so maybe update that. Everywhere was very clean, though the carpet in the living area was well vacuumed, it would probably benefit from a good professional clean. We had good food in the Plough which was a short ride away and on our second night we had another lovely meal in the bridge pub in Ruswarp. Great house and would definitely stay again

We have just enjoyed two nights at Iburn House, it was clean and tidy and plenty of room for 5 adults a toddler and a daft cocker spaniel! I was a little worried about cleanliness and how comfy the beds were looking at previous reviews but it was spotless and all the beds were comfortable. As mentioned in previous reviews there are only two bathrooms (the floor plan shows three)...a family one on the first floor and an ensuite on the second floor. Tip: Take a small sharp knife and a tin opener with you as there are only two large knives and the tin opener didn't work! There was parking for two cars and all in all we had a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

Nice family break but some little issues that could do with fixing. Positive: Lovely and spacious. Plenty of room for 6 adults and a child Negative: Unfortunately we ended up with the bedroom on the top floor and the mattress desperately needs replacing. It’s two beds pushed together but with single mattresses. Both sides were uncomfy but one of the sides was horrendous. You can feel every spring and it almost feels to be on a slant with hard metal frames either side. The others beds were ok. Also felt the cleanliness wasn’t the best, lots of cobwebs and dust still knocking about but it’s possible nobody had been in just before us and maybe that just gathered, wasn’t anything too terrible overall was good. We had a lovely time still together as a family but probably wouldn’t return if I’m totally honest. The communication with the hosts was fab, couldn’t fault them. Just some little changes needed to make it perfect.

This place was just brilliant for us and our family of three kids and grandparents and uncle! Ample space huge house. Only thing was literally nothing child focused we had to bring everything from high chairs to travel cots to toys and children’s cutlery/plates etc. so perhaps just this small addition would be enormously helpful to families who need all the packing space we can get. However this takes nothing away from our most amazing stay!!! Thank you so much!

Very helpful hosts who provide a link to a Guest Guidebook which we found really useful. We visited with 6 adults and 1 child and the property was large and comfortable enough to fit us all in. Great location, we visited Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay very easily. Loved the open plan living area, great for socialising, with bifolding doors leading to a flagged area to the rear and up a few steps to a grassed area which was all enclosed, perfect for our 5 year old. Wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again, or any other property managed by Host & Stay. Thank you

Poor - wouldn’t recommend in current state Positive: Great location, lovely area with easy access to surrounding areas Could be a fantastic property if the problems are sorted. Negative: Not sure where to start with this one, overall cleanliness of the house was really poor. Dirty stained carpet downstairs (multiple stains not just one) Badly marked and stained flooring in kitchen area Multiple marks on walls Crumbs in cupboards Dirty oven and pots Weeds in garden front and rear (and used bar of soap in front of house) 5 forks for a house suitable for 7 (general lack of kitchen equipment) No mattress protector Frayed pillows with hairs Tried to hoover but gave up due to horrendous wet dog smell the hoover emitted En-suite bathroom gave off nasty drain smell for first few days We were unable to open the bifold doors fully as there were broken keys in the locks We reported the cleanliness issue on arrival through Host & Stay link that was sent but it took them 6 days to respond. If we hadn’t had family already travelling to meet us at the property we would have contacted Host & Stay and asked for alternative accommodation on arrival. I have raised a complaint with Host & Stay but after 10 days they are ‘still investigating’. I do have photos of all issues raised above.

Nicely presented house in a lovely small village, close to the coast. Ideal for us and family.

Clean, comfy house. Great layout for us (my family plus MiL).

Lovely modern house well suited to a family gathering. Clean and spacious 2 miles to Whitby with loads of great pubs and restaurants. There is a greatdog friendly pub/restaurant 5 minutes from the house ( The Stables ) We would highly recommend this house

Five adults, two children and a dog had three lovely nights in Briggswath. The place was extremely spacious and safe for the children and dog. The sun was shining the whole time and we had a wonderful break.

Lovely house perfect for our family get away .

Lovely house, beautifully furnished. Very comfortable seating in living room and good to have extra TVs in the house when the adults wanted a movie downstairs and the kids could play on the genes consoles they brought with them. Bedrooms were lovely too. It’s a four rather than five star from us as there were a few items in the kitchen that I’d have expected to have in a house for 7. I’m sure that could be sorted easily though!

The house is in a lovely quiet location. Very spacious, well equipped and clean. Lovely fluffy towels. No visitor book so couldn’t leave review or suggestions for other guests and no information book or leaflets so you need to do your own research for getting about, places to visit and where to eat etc. We can recommend The Bridge inn at Ruswarp just 5 minutes in a car. Good menu and excellent food and a great Sunday roast too. Easy walk into Whitby by the railway track from Ruswarp but advise you don’t walk on the road from the house to Ruswarp as there are no footpaths on certain parts of the road. All in all could recommend this house for a family and a good base for visiting nearby coastal areas.

We really enjoyed our stay at Iburne House. Perfect for our small family and the establishment had lots of space. It was all very open and light and beds were very comfortable. Felt like a little home from home in the mist beautiful surrounding areas.

Beautiful home for a large family get away. Had the wow factor! And the open plan ground floor was perfect for our dogs.

We have just enjoyed a great long weekend at Iburn House. It was my wife's 60th birthday and we had my two daughter's and partners, my granddaughter and the dog. The house was perfect for us all, especially the enclosed back garden for Benson the dog! The location is fantastic ... 10 minutes from Whitby and the same from a lovely walk at May Beck and Falling Foss Falls. The house itself is very well designed, clean and tidy and was simply a superb location for our time away.

Good accommodation. Perfect for families. Would recommend

Lovely place to stay, love the open plan downstairs was a lovely area for the family to all be together. Close enough to Whitby, but benefits from a being situated in a nice quiet area, just what we wanted

Great place to stay with family or friends if you want to get away for a long weekend. The place was spotless and has a huge kitchen/living area for gatherings. The village of Briggswath is picturesque and perfect for country walks, Whitby is a 10 minute drive too!

Positives: Host & Stay were very responsive throughout, assisting with issues we had and offering to reimburse for items we had to purchase. The location was good for visiting surrounding towns. The property was warm and the beds were comfortable. The garden was secure. Negatives: Only 1 bin bag - no spares Only 1 toilet roll per toilet - no spares No dustpan and brush No door mat at back door so wet feet and paws made a mess! Grass in garden ridiculously overgrown No baby gate No basics such as oil, pepper, cling film. No games or books - not even a pen or piece of paper. Carpets dirty Stains on chairs Vacuum cleaner smelled of dogs Cleaning sprays but no kitchen roll to clean Just one dish cloth No bins in bedrooms Only one remote control for two bedrooms Parking confusing as signage and instructions not the same Noise from next door property No coffee as indicated Things previous guests raised have not addressed despite asking before our stay and told they had.

Dale and the whole team at Host&Stay were helpful and responsive from the moment we booked. The house was perfect for the 6 of us plus 4 active dogs with its large open plan lounge and kitchen area. The garden was perfect and enclosed for the dogs. The bedrooms were all a good size, but the mattresses could be better. The kitchen was a good size for cooking, but the knives were blunt, and the pans were very well used, so luckily we had taken our own. On the whole the house was very clean, though it was a bit disappointing to find long, uncut grass & dog muck left from a previous stay. There was ample parking for 3 cars too. The location is perfect for countryside walks with a couple of pubs within walking distance, and a very easy drive into Robin Hoods Bay & Whitby. There's also a very handy online guide book provided with lots of local info, aswell as some physical books and leaflets. Would 100% recommend this place for a stay, especially if you plan on traveling with dogs

We've just got back from a four night stay, the house was absolutey lovely and very spacious with an enclosed garden which was great as we had our two dogs with us. It's just 2.5 miles from Whitby so very easy to get to everything. We found some fantastic dog and child friendly beaches and we were extremely lucky with the weather! We would definitely visit again and would highly recommend.

Beautiful location, ideal for getting out and about and a really generous sized property- the bed linens were good quality, however the whole place needs a bit of TLC. Walls were scuffed, beds uncomfortable, crockery was chipped, not enough forks or pans. Paltry supplies of toiletries and toilet roll, a few tea bags, sachets of coffee and milk. No hand towel in downstairs bathroom, only one tea towel, two black bin liners and no washing up liquid or sponges. Messaged first day to say no oven glove and toaster broken, which did not get sorted until Wednesday, by which point this was overshadowed by the washing machine backing up with foul smelling water- which was reported Tuesday evening. Grassed area at the back was poor quality and overgrown, so unsuitable for dogs. Asked if it was going to be cut on Monday (at that point chasing toaster and oven glove) to be told someone would come and cut it. No one did. Stayed for 10 days. Won’t stay again.

The kitchen is not stocked well, only 4 wine glasses and 1 pint glass, 6 forks, 4 teaspoons, plenty of knives. No grill pan and not many pans. No veg knife or wooden spoons. No hand soap in the bathrooms. Although advertised for dogs the top grassed area was not cut and very poor grass. The patio doors were great but not good for dogs overnight. The washing machine filled with water and smelt of stale water. The beds were horrendous. Only the double was comfortable. The size of the house is great for a large family or group but is noticeable that this is a rented property and not used by a family which let it out. With a few modifications I would say this was an ideal base for a lovely part of the country

Great place to stay, equally easy for Coast & North Yorks Moors. Lots to do. Comfy, well furnished, dog friendly cottage. The secure, enclosed garden was fantastic

Hi. Our whole stay was just fantastic. The house was beautiful, very spacious, very clean and in a lovely area. Not far from Whitby. There were 7 of us plus a dog and we had loads of room. The village was just great, when walking around the people in the village were very friendly and welcoming.

Such a gorgeous place. Stunning views from the property and the most comfortable bed I've slept in for a long time. The dogs loved the open plan kitchen and could play in the garden. It felt like home.

A great house. Really spacious and well designed. It’s a really good base for exploring the area. We took our dogs and the garden was great for them. Seven of us stayed and it didn’t feel at all cramped, lots of seating in the living area and the bedrooms are a good size.

6 adults and our dog came here for the weekend, lovely place and the host was very helpful sending across info etc, 5 🌟 will definitely be returning. We all had a great time so thanks again! Beautiful house x

Great communication and instructions. The link to navigate to the exact location was helpful and helped us find it very easily in the dark. Very good location for going into Whitby and only a short walk to Staithes station. Overall a lovely weekend with friends, thank you!

We had a brilliant stay here for 7 people, lovely spacious open plan living room and kitchen. We would return to this property in the future.

Great place and location. house is amazing and super spacious. we had 7 in our party and there was more than enough space.

A friend and I stayed at the house for 3 very uncomfortable nights. We had paid £125 for a cleaning service in addition to the rental and arrived to find cobwebs that had been there a long time, outside of the bin was filthy, crumbs on work surfaces and carpet around the seating area. There was also dirty marks on cupboard doors, marks on radiators and walls. The beds were uncomfortable, the large double was zipped together and one side the springs had gone and couldn't be slept on, the other double was uncomfortable also. In the kitchen there were no tumblers, inconsistent number of items such as glasses, chips in plates, tea spoon shortage and the rest was a mismatch and odd numbers. There was no hand soap, hand towel downstairs was a bath mat, drawers for storage in one bedroom but none in the other so lack of storage for a medium to long stay holiday. And extra money demanded just before the holiday for insurance which was not mentioned when booking. No cleaning products nor vac.

Huge and bright house, comfy beds, spick and span bathrooms. Perfect for a big group. 100% recommended.

Charlie was absolutely so responsive to any quwries ihad. We all enjoyed our stay and will be back. A great place for 6 people, a few more blankets in the cold season to cozy in. Whitby near by 3 miles, went to Sands End and Robin's Hood Bay, please pay tge Magpie Cafe Restaurant a view but make sure you book gets very busy. Thanks

I stayed at this property from 16th June to 18th June. On arrival at the check-in time (4pm) we discovered that despite the advertisement detailing that the beds could be split, and us having requested this by message on 2nd of May which Host & Stay replied to, the beds had not been split and there was not enough bed linen for our group. We called Host & Stay multiple times from 4:30pm onward but they were unable to rectify this issue. They also felt that despite us having requested and agreed this service over a month before our stay that we were not due any compensation for not having enough bed linen for our group. The property and location itself are fine and good if you want parking near the coast and can drive to/from the beachside towns each day.

We stayed over Christmas in this cottage. It’s a very nice house - looks like the pictures and very spacious over 3 floors. The bedrooms are a good size and the downstairs space is all open plan so perfect for us all spending time together at Xmas. The only fault I can mention is I asked a question prior to arrival and it took almost 3 weeks to receive an answer which I felt was quite poor. Other than that all great. The house itself is in a cute village which has a pub and only 3 miles from Whitby and lots of lovely walks on the doorstep.

Great short stay for new year eve x Positive: Amazing property x Negative: Nothing

Peaceful, relaxing girls trip to the east coast. Positive: Lovely open plan, light, spacious property with a well equipped kitchen. Easy check in process. Peaceful pretty location. Modern, nicely decorated & furnished. Negative: Little touches that would have been helpful, more toilet rolls; oven gloves, a washing up sponge. The dishwasher couldn’t hold the large dinner plates so had to wash them up by hand. Not a big deal, but could be better.

We stayed at the house for 2 nights in September & loved every second, the kitchen was open plan, clean & was great for hosting. Had every pot, pan, serving dish & utensil you could possibly need which was great as a lot places I have stayed do not accommodate for this but they had literally thought of everything. The house was perfect for our girls weekend away, peaceful & spacious. We took 1 dog so walked into Whitby which took us about an hour and got the bus back which literally drops you off at the end of the road so was great that we never had to take the cars or pay for parking. It has a small enclosed garden so great if you have a dog or children. The link when you receive when you check in is great so you actually don't need to contact the host because all the information you could possibly need is included. I would highly recommend this place & would 100% stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

This property is in a great location. The estate is quiet and easy to get too with parking outside for two cars. It's beautiful, well decorated and modern. The lay out of the property is great for big families. The only downsides to this house are the mattresses are very uncomfortable with springs gone and big dips in the mattress. The two single beds push together and the gap is noticeable when laying in the bed. The lack of cooking and cleaning equipment. To say this property is four bedrooms therefore should be equipped with equipment to cook for eight this is not possible the pans are tiny and made cooking for seven very difficult. We had to go out and buy dishwasher tablets etc. There was no salt, pepper or cooking oil or enough tea, coffee and milk. We even had to buy toilet rolls as you only get one per toilet for the whole stay. This is the only AirB&B that has not provided this. I had to hoover the carpet downstairs myself and dust as this had not been done.

The property was well designed, modern and clean. Good for a short stay but poorly equipped for a self catering holiday. Positive: Nice open plan property. Good for large group Negative: The kitchen was poorly equipped.

Good value for money, starting to look a bit tired and worn, but ideal for what we needed

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Iburn house. It was modern, clean and very well equipped and it enabled us to holiday with three generations of our family, whilst exploring Whitby and the surrounding area.

Great place for a family get together. Positive: Very spacious and modern. Easy parking. Warm and cosy. Negative: Trivial really, but not enough cutlery for 7 people. Dining table only seats 6. Only a couple of hangers in the 2 first level bedrooms. A nice touch would have been milk in the fridge, more toilet rolls, and more bin liners.

Overall the stay was nice lovely sized house had everything we needed for a couple of days away. For what we paid for the house we would stay again. Cons, on 3 out of the 4 beds the mattresses were terrible, wafer this with no support and could feel every spring. The door on the main bathroom didn’t close or lock without having the physically force the door upwards which was a problem for two of my teenage children. The floor layout is wrong on the pictures advertising the property, we were expecting 2 en-suite bedrooms and a family bathroom, we got 1 en-suite bedroom and 5 guests had to share the family bathroom.

Perfectly lovely home for our hiking trip along the Yorkshire moors. The home was quite spacious and very clean. I have a crawling one-year-old, so that is a must! Location would have been hard to find, if not for the detailed instructions included. Check out was easy, with no finicky requests. I think the price was appropriate; the only negative I have to note is that after confirming booking, the host requested I take out an additional insurance policy. I am familiar with Air BnB policy and know that hosts already have some degrees of insurance built in. This policy was noted within the property's listing, at the very bottom, buried under other minute details. I of course paid it as I should have noted it prior, but was disappointed by an additional fee for a property I thought was already on the pricier end.

Lovely property in a stunning location. Perfect place for to celebrate Mum’s 80th birthday. Bus stop at the end of the road made it very easy to get to Whitby and a lovely walk for those wanting to take in the beautiful countryside. Home from home facilities in the kitchen made it very easy to have the occasional meal in. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

House overall was lovely , location was also good would have liked a few more options to eat out close at hand . This is by no means the fault of anyone’s other than the economy and places are closing down . Lovely river where we enjoyed a afternoon tea and boating . One double bed was vey uncomfortable but we think this was due to been able to separate into 2 .

This is a lovely house in a beautiful location. It is really well located to explore Whitby and East coast. For walkers there are many local walks plus Cleveland Way slightly further afield. A general store in Sleights is about a 15 mins walk so very handy. It is very well equipped and comfortable. Host and Stay were exceptionally quick in their responses to my questions and very helpful. I really recommend it as a place to stay to explore the area.

Reported dirty crockery and stained bedding to host…. No reply Host and stay rang next day and offered to change bedding but we we had already slept in it , we had also washed crockery Garden is dangerous as there is a deep hole that looked like a rabbit hole, couldn’t let young children play safely Awaiting response from complaint form that was completed re cleanliness Such a shame as could have been a lovely place but these issues tarnished the stay especially with such a high cleaning fee being charged

A lovely, bright modern house in a quiet village location with easy access into Whitby.

Very nice place to stay at. Fully recommended.

Had a fabulous stay at Iburn House, very spacious and well equipped and would definitely recommend.

The house is brilliant but it’s just finding the place. I would strongly recommend that the site uses the What 3 Words so you can find the place.

Positive: Spacious, clean & comfortable. Village has good transport links into Whitby.

Nice spacious house in a great location. Would use again if in the area.

Thank you for accommodating us! We stayed here for a weekend break away. We did various activities all of which within close proximity of the property. We was given clear instructions and the opportunity for an early check in. The property was warm and perfect for what we needed. I would add it could do with a fresh paint job as there is wear and tear marks where people have been bagging bags and case against the walls. The bathroom and toilets were very clean and a bonus that the towels are provided. I would suggest anyone staying at the priory to take a blanket for chilling out on the sofa as it did become cool due to the size of the open plan rooms. Local shops are the Spar and Co-op, we never came across a large supermarket so bare this mind. The bedrooms were very nice size and the beds are very comfortable and i slept like a log all weekend. Recommendations for here: The North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Whitby - Magpie Fish and Chip Restaurant, Boat Trip Thank You

Lovely house in a beautiful surroundings, but sadly have to echo what many have said previously re. the cleanliness and lack of kitchen equipment. The place was so dusty when we arrived we could write our names in the dust on the bedside table. We had to clean the place ourselves with the one cloth that was provided in the kitchen. The floor and carpet was visibly dirty. Kitchen was very modern and sleek but lacked equipment to be able to use it properly. No oven gloves! Inconveniently, we only found this out when we needed to get food out of the oven. Many of the pans in the cupboards had clearly not been cleaned. I feel like some corners have been cut here to maximise profit. Such a shame because it is a lovely house in a great location, and it has the potential to be a real winner.

beautiful village with a couple of nice pubs within walking distance. 10 minutes drive to Whitby as well. great finish and plenty of room. thanks

The house itself was a lovely house in a beautiful location. There is plenty to do and go and see around the house. However on arrival the house wasn’t cleaned to a satisfactory level.

Beautiful property, perfect size and very clean and a complete pleasure to stay there.

Positive: Everything, the location was great to get the park and ride into Whitby. Lovely little village with a fab garden centre with a great cafe over looking the River Esk. Great accommodation Negative: Very small single bed not quiet a full size single but comfy. Quiet a lot of little spiders in the corner of the rooms. Otherwise perfect.

Having stayed in other Airbnb places which were well equipped, we found this one could improve greatly with a few simple things. All things that previous reviews have mentioned, but have not been actioned. More toilet rolls, bin liners dishwasher tablets, a cleaning cloth, sufficient crockery and adequately sized pans for the number of people staying! A few games, books, toys and dvd's wouldn't come amiss either. Some inaccuracies that were mentioned in past reviews like an ensuite that wasn't there are still showing. Apart from these niggles the location was great and very quiet.

lovely stay:)

Great property in a private cul de sac with ample parking. lots of space and perfect base for exploring Yorkshire ... highly recommend

Overall very good Positive: The area was beautiful, the house was lovely . Very quiet and peaceful. Negative: A few little things such as no can opener, and few sharp knives. The ovens and cooking utensils needed a good clean before use. Parking was difficult as we had a large vehicle and the next house along had two cars

Lovely house on a beautiful village, will book again

Great location, dale was a responsive host. Pictures were spot on as was the description.

Lovely house. Very spacious & great location. Could do with better equipment e.g. only provided 1 bin bag for kitchen, no salt & only v small pans. Would still come again but would bring my own kitchen & cleaning equipment next time.

Location perfect. Accommodation is nice but it’s been fitted out quite cheaply. Could do with new mattresses on the beds. More cleaning things left at the property would be helpful. We have a lovely stay but a few small changes would have made it perfect.

Location superb, clean and spacious, but the floor plan shows an en-suite bathroom for one bedroom on first floor and there isn’t one. Furthermore in August this was mentioned in a review and the hosts said they would change it, they haven’t and are still showing a plan with an en-suite that isn’t there. That’s poor form. Other than that I couldn’t fault the place really.

The property is in a beautiful location. When we got into the property we realised the layout was different to what was on the advert. Before arriving to the property we asked for two of the beds to be split into singles which we were told was possible. This hadn’t been done. The top floor furniture was full of dust and the carpets hadn’t been hoovered. We also found that the pots and pans were greasy. This was all reported back but all we received were apologetic emails. We have requested money back on the cleaning charge but again. Nothing has been sorted. The property is joined to another property which is also a holiday let and you can hear the tenants using the stairs, closing doors and running around. We had to bang on the wall one evening because of the noise they were making. Before checking in there was another £50 charge which was a non refundable damage charge which we didn’t know about until after booking the property!

We loved our stay, lovely house and great location. Hosts were easy to contact and I would recommend staying. Thank you!

Location was good for visiting whitby and surrounding north yorkshire countryside and great downstairs soace and room size. Prior to our stay we had seen other reviews about uncomfortable beds and poorly equipped kitchen so were pre warned. The springs had gone completely in one side of one of the beds, and other was heavily worn. The downstairs carpet was also dirty. Overall this airbnb could be significantly improved by spending a bit of cash on beds and kitchen.

Great Break and we'll located to Whitby. Station close and a lovely little Garden Centre short walk away with beautiful cafe on the banks of the river many thanks

Great house and location. The only negative was the beds. Two of the ‘king size’ beds are twins pushed together with mattresses that are not that comfortable.

A nice property, convenient to Whitby and the Park and ride. Positive: Modern and spacious. Good bedrooms and bathrooms. Open plan living and dining area suitable for 7 Negative: Outside space is limited, no BBQ provided should you be lucky enough to have nice weather. Parking only for one car, two at a squeeze. Attention to detail with regarding to cleaning equipment and provided equipment could have been better.

A very nice house in a lovely location. Great for getting into Whitby and nearby beaches. the house was clean and finished to a high standard. we had a grocery delivery and found that the kitchen was a little limited on storage. The kitchen could be better equipped in general but these are only small this and didn't take away for the overall stay. Highly recommend.

Fab weekend at this amazing home. Couldn’t fault anything! Loved the open plan layout and the beds are super comfy! Can’t recommend this place enough we will definitely return. Only comment I would make that it was hard to find in the dark. The property is set back off the main road and as there is no street lighting or lights within the yard it took us a while to find - but that is minor thing. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely house with great amenities. Great location and lots of thought put into your stay

Washing machine had water and a towel in it. Carbon monoxide alarm beeping due to low battery. I took battery out to stop noise. Broken glasses had been put back. Shower plug where water goes out had hairs and dirt. And, the address we were given was incorrect. It was garbutts yard, not the info I was assured it was. Spent day before phoning them three times and texting. They gave incorrect and incomplete postcodes and contradictory info from different people! Caused major hassle trying to find it. They need to update the guide book they email out. And the floor plan on photos was incorrect! I’m absolutely sick of Host and Stay. Been miscommunication from when I booked 11 months earlier. The fact the carbon monoxide alarm was faulty is a major issue too!!!!! Plus they not confirming to the new fire risk rules that air b&b brought in 1st oct 23. I’d asked for most senior manager in host and stay to reply to me, but 7 days later got a general email not addressing anything.

The property was clean, presentable and just as described. We enjoyed our stay, the kitchen was well equipped with what we needed. The only thing I would ask for if more cleaning products so we could sufficiently leave the place clean , and the parking could have been better. We had two cars and there wasn’t enough room for both so one of us had to park a street away.

House was lovely and had everything we needed. Everything was clean and host gave really good instructions. Property was modern and decorated ro a high standard. There is plenty of room and the property felt spacious for all of us. I would definitely stop again.

Excellent location. Lovely house, just a shame it hasn’t been looked after. Positive: The location was handy. And property had plenty of bedrooms. Lovely layout and decor. Negative: Lots of scuffs on the walls. Things didn’t seem to have been looked after which was a shame. Not very much cutlery or glasses other than wine glasses.

Lovely house, very clean and spacious. Kitchen was really well equipped although could have done with a bigger frying pan. Bedrooms spacious and bed linen luxurious. Really enjoyed our stay.

A perfect house for what we needed. Great location. Easy to access.

Lovely place, very quiet and just outside the hustle and bustle of Whitby.

A lovely home in a perfect location for exploring Whitby and the surrounding areas. The house was as described on the listing; there was only 4 of us in our party, but even if the maximum of 7 people was reached, there would be ample room for all to enjoy and relax. Everything was cleaned and easy to find, and the hosts were only a message away if needed. Ideal location; 10 minute drive from Whitby with lots to see and explore. Only feedback would be; - A shower mat is needed for the showers as they were very slippery with a couple of near misses! - Re-assess the lock of the front door as we had awful trouble with getting the key out. The family in the house next door also has the same trouble and had to call our Host and Stay. Otherwise a lovely home 😊

There is much to love about Iburn House. The location is brilliant. Very near to amenities, but quiet at night. The house is exactly as described. Very comfortable and well presented.

Had a lovely few days here, the house was lovely very clean just as advertised no complaints at all. Would highly recommend, we will be back x

Lovely house, in peaceful surroundings.

Fantastic house with plenty of room.

We had a great stay at Iburn House. The location is fab, we loved the local bakers and butchers and river cafe with steam train! The house was comfortable and suited 7 of us great. The pros - spacious, modern, good layout. Good showers, nice having TVs in some of the bedrooms. The cons - Not as clean as I’d expect, Lumpy mattresses, Hard towels, Faulty toaster, not enough mugs, glasses for 7 people We reported the faulty toaster but it wasn’t fixed or looked at. We had a great week away, without the niggles we’d have given it 5 stars!

Great place to stay and a great location to explore the surrounding areas!

Suited our needs perfectly and would book again..
