Host & Stay | Northville Arrifana — Guest Reviews

We had a wonderful stay over the Christmas period. Communication was great and Charlie who answered all my queries was quick and helpful in all responses. Some reviews mentioned noise but we had a lovely peaceful stay. Great place to have pets, my puppy was more than comfortable. would definitely recommend and stay again. I have family in Whitley Bay and this will be my go to to stay again. Thankyou

Beautiful decor. Our stay was quite tricky. Bright green security lights, tiny almost impossible shower, hard towels, no fitted sheets. We stayed with two dogs and would have liked access to a brush and pan or vacuum cleaner. Such a shame as potentially it could have been a luxurious apartment.

It has been good stay, with a short walk to beach front for daily run with dog.

We enjoyed our stay at Northville. The flat is lovely and really nicely furnished. As other people have mentioned, the shower is very tight for space but we managed. The only negative for us was that there isn’t much soundproofing and so noise of people in the flat above and entering and leaving the building is easily audible. This shouldn’t be an issue for most people but if you have a dog with you like we did then it can set them with doors banging in the morning. Overall a lovely place and well located for both the beach and local amenities.

Lovely space. Beautifully appointed and great for a base whilst visiting our resident Newcastle student. Tyne mouth is excellent for eating and the dog absolutely loved the beach which was moments away.

Just back from a two night stay at Northville Arrifana and it was superb. Spotlessly clean which is incredibly important to us. The decor is stunning and every thing had been chosen with such style, care and attention. Located minutes from the sea and easy access to lovely eateries and coffee shops all around you. Dog friendly too, we cannot wait to return. 100% recommend. We loved the apartment and we loved Whitley Bay.

Great location , nice apartment spoiled by the inadequate bathroom size Positive: The Location of the property was brilliant The size of the lounge and bedroom very good Negative: The bathroom was far too small you can’t move in the shower my partner struggled to have a wet shave in the tiny basin there was no where to dry the towels after a shower the radiator in the shower room did not work. No Hairdryer, no iron this was listed in the facilities no toaster which we found very strange for a modern apartment we were only left 1 hand towel and 2 bath towels which wasn’t sufficient for 3 nights we were only left 1 toilet roll we had to purchase more The information sheet that was left did not tell you how to operate any of the electrical goods

Nice apartment and comfortable for the 2 of us and our dog. Responsive agent when we reported beeping from an electrical box which kept us up the first night. Was pleased they sorted it out promptly. The bathroom is quite small which I think is the only downside.

Just back from a 2 night stay and it honestly felt like a home from home. The apartment was gorgeous and finished to a really high standard and I loved the decor. The bed was super comfy and it was in a great location. Was so cosy inside and myself and my partner would love to come back. There is roadworks outside the property just now however we had no issues parking and managed to get right outside the apartment both nights when we returned back to the apartment. Thank you.

Beautiful apartment Gorgeous apartment with little touches that make it feel luxurious. The photos do not do it justice! So clean and comfortable-a real home from home. We will be booking again!

Positive: Nice,clean property

Positive: Great location, very cosy and well equipped Negative: Needed a deep clean, heating could not be controlled by guests and needed doing remotely which was frustrating.

A great stay with a great host. Thank you!

挺不错的 Positive: 房间很大很舒适，地理位置好，离火车站近，出门就是大海 Negative: 房间里的灯不能全关掉，有点儿影响睡眠。暖气也会发出噪音

More cleaning equipment as wanted to leave it sand and pet hair free .

We had a very comfortable stay here for a few days. Would stay again.

Good place to stay in whitley bay. Clean, quiet and very comfortable.

Awful experience, heating in this place does not work, the heaters are electric and controlled via a screen on each radiotor (two for the whole apartment) the screens however are locked and you can not access them, I assume this is accessed remotely via an app by the accommodation owner, only the property is managed by “host & stay” so you can’t actually contact the owner, we raised this issue in excess of 8 times during our 2 day stay, even telephoning the number provided on the guest info. They were extremely unhelpful and suggested we bleed the boiler, a ridiculous suggestion made even more ridiculous by the fact that the apartment doesn’t even have a boiler. It was apparent they manage multiple properties and don’t know the amenities or systems of each one. When I kept raising the issue they eventually just began to ignore me but would respond to other messages and ignore the ones about the heating, whole place was 7 degrees and freezing for the whole stay. It was also filthy.

Positive: Location. The apartment. Local places to eat. The sea.

Lovely apartment and a great deal for the bank holiday weekend. Perfect location to get to the metro and beach - I’d definitely visit again!

This was a perfect place to stay for a two nights. It's a beautiful flat and feels homely and comfortable.

Lovely spot in Whitley Bay, close to the beach and the town centre. Nicely done up and comfortable.

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. The apartment was dirty upon arrival, with hair and dust balls on the floor, dead flies on the window sills, and an unclean toilet. The heating is controlled through an app we didn’t have access to, so we couldn’t adjust the temperature. The house was freezing, only 6°C on the first night, and this continued for three days until the host unlocked just one radiator. It remained very cold throughout our stay. The kitchen is poorly equipped and there was no hairdryer. It’s a shame because the place is nicely decorated and in a good location, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Lovely place

Negative: The mattress was uncomfortable. Extra pillows and a blanket should have been available. Also, a king size cover on a double duvet doesn't work well!

A lovely place for a short break Positive: Lovely bedroom in a period property Negative: The bathroom was small and the shower was very small.

love to stay again Positive: easy Negative: nothing

We had a wonderful stay. Thank you :)

Positive: Die Ausstattung war sehr gut. Die Räume waren sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Negative: Es hätte ein wenig sauberer sein können. Das Waschbecken und die Dusche hätten größer sein können.

The kitchen, living and bedroom were fine with the exception of a bright green fire alarm light which meant the bedroom never got truly dark and affected sleep. The yard is not advertised as shared but was accessed a couple of times unexpectedly to us which was concerning given the backdoor sees straight into next to the bathroom. I’m hoping some frosted glass will be added to give more privacy and the fact it is a shared yard added to the listing. The shower is really very very small and not sure the description really does that justice. Location is great with the exception of Saturday night which can get a bit lairy with nearby late bars and the taxi rank outside. We also unfortunately had someone access the front porch (which is left unlocked) and set off the fire alarm in the middle of the night. There is also a decent amount of noise from the upstairs flat which meant we were awake before 7am every day. It’s a nice place and a few tweaks will improve some things.

Very clean and well appointed flat. The host was very communicative and friendly

Great little air bnb tastefully decorated. And immaculately clean. Perfectly situated for the seafront and lots of cool eateries nearby. Would definately stay again

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is beautifully presented and in a great location for the beach. Check-in was very easy with the lockbox.

We had a great stay. The apartment is beautiful with only a short walk to the beach

Beautiful rooms Positive: The decor and details in the house are beautiful!

The Northville apartment is lovely, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and a great location - easy walking distance of every thing you need. We had no problems parking even on a bank holiday weekend. The listing is accurate- I didn’t look properly so didn’t bring a hairdryer. The only slight downside is the shower which really is small - and I’m the size of a hobbit. The communication is through a company and they require a deposit or damage waiver - these are both in the listing but I didn’t spot them so was a bit surprised.

Enjoyable Positive: Lovely flat. Beautiful decor & furnishings. Well equipped kitchen & every utensil you could want. Negative: Shower too small for comfort. Basin so small it was a joke. Property managers Host & Stay need lessons in what is expected when you arrive at a property. No welcome pack, no washing up liquid, no loo cleaner & single sheet loo roll….,!? Come on! After all we’d paid they had the cheek to try & charge us for clean sheets & towels our 2nd week. Our lovely owner Becky who lives on the property stepped in & we got our clean sheets etc as is to be expected.

房间很好，很整洁，位置很便利，出门就能看见大海，附近有很多超市和菜市。但是房间隔音不太好，能听见楼上走路的声音，然后就是浴室非常的小，可能一个稍微高一点壮一点的人洗澡就会很困难。
