Host & Stay | Salty Bay — Guest Reviews

This was our 5th Airbnb in Saltburn and I have to say it was our favourite so far. Loved the location and the flat suited all our needs. Great courtyard too for dogs.

Wonderful stay such a fantastic property. High ceilings. It has a backyard for the dog (not very dog friendly as tiny stones)

Great location and views of the sea. Well appointed. Dog friendly. Saltburn has many bars and restaurants. We’ll return for sure!

Absolutely stunning seafront apartment - recently renovated with high quality furnishings. We have stayed in many Airbnb's all over the country & this is by far the nicest! And it was dog friendly too! Easy access to the beach (via loads of steps or the funicular) and plenty of bars & places to eat. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing location, right on the see front with amazing views of the sea that the pictures don’t do justice! If you can get up and watch a sunrise; you won’t regret it. Modern, spacious and clean throughout with lovely detail and decor without being cluttered at all. Nice to have a coffee machine. Extra bits like salt and pepper, tea and coffee etc (basic pantry style stuff that you don’t think to pack/buy when staying away) would have been fab. Perhaps they usually do but we had one sachet of coffee and one tea bag! Free parking right outside the as great, we parked up and then didn’t need the car again until check out. Lush that dogs are allowed in such a modern, lovely space. Contact from the host felt quite incessant but perhaps that’s as I’m a low key guest who can manage from one email with all info in and not daily reminders for everything. Would 100% stay here again and/or book with host and stay. Thank you!

Firstly the actual apartment was stunning with a perfect location but that's where the good review ends. The apartment was unclean with thick layers of dust throughout, it clearly only gets a a surface clean likely taking a matter of minutes between guests. The bathroom mirror was dirty along with the tap. On the throw in the bedroom was a suspicious looking stain, this clearly doesn't get washed between guests( or checked). On the first night I showered and later on during our first evening we then had a maintenance man call twice unexpected at 2030-2045 to notify that the shower was leaking and that we could not use the shower again. My partner had not showered at this point. We were informed we could not shower in the morning and would need to be about in the morning for the shower to be fixed. Disturbed on the first night and unable to shower and again the following morning. I have tried to raise this and communicate this with host and stay and 16 days later have had no contact

We came for a 4-day get away an wanted to be near the seaside. Charlie's apartment right above the beach was absolutely perfect. The living space (one room kitchen, living and ding) was perfect size for the two of us and our 2 dogs. The kitchen had everything we needed for breakfasts in the morning and there were enough amazing restaurants and pubs nearby for a noon time pint and/or an evening meal. The Ship Inn was a perfect stop for a pint and the Seaview restaurant has amazing local seafood that did not disappoint. The apartment bedroom had plenty of storage and the bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom/shower was also very nice but the absolute best part of staying here was the view and closeness to the beach. We spent a large amount of our 4 days on the beach with the dogs. We walked along the beach as far as Marske and while the tide was out, over to Hunt Cliff exploring rock pools and searching for fossils. A 10 out of 10 for the location, the apartment and the host!

Nice apartment for 2 in a good location Positive: The location was great, it was easy to park and the bed was comfy. Good communication from the hosts. We would stay again. Negative: Couldn’t get live TV as couldn’t get the main channels to work due to a poor signal. Don’t like having to pay the extra insurance premium when using Host & Stay properties.

Enjoyed a fabulous weekend at this quality apartment. Perfect for 2. Great location and very comfortable. A stone’s throw from beautiful Saltburn beach with restaurants, shops and pubs easily accessible. Would thoroughly recommend.

Perfect little apartment for a cute weekend away. Perfect location, clean and beautiful views

Good location and well priced comfortable accommodation Positive: Location very good

Great place on the front, well worth the price and very stylish apartment.

Great value and a great location, property was beautifully kitted out Positive: the location was great, central but quiet and great views Negative: Beds could have been a bit comfier, but hubby has RA so its always a difficult one

Nice place to stay worth the money would definitely return.

Me & my partner had a lovely stay here and would definitely come back! A 5 minute walk down the steps to the beautiful beach with great restaurants and pubs surrounding. The free parking was a bonus! The apartment itself was spotless and very cosy and peaceful :) A nice, relaxing couples getaway in a great location, 10/10.

FANTASTIC ACCOMODATION BUT SPOILT VIEW AND CERTAIN OTHER THINGS SPOILT IT. Positive: LOCATION WAS SUPERB , ON THE CLIFFS ( OVERLOOKING THE SEA) . ON FINALLY GETTING INTO THE FLAT IT HAD BEEN BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED OUT WITH CHRISTMAS DECOR AND A LARGE TREE AND WAS SPOTLOUSLY CLEAN . KITCHEN UNITS WERE SPACIOUS AND HUGE LOUNGE WITH 55" SMART SONY TV. (WHICH HAD NET FLIX AND AMAZON AS WELL AS BBCI PLAYER ETC WHICH WAS VERY GOOD INDEED. BATHROOM WAS WELL LAID OUT WITH EXCELLENT SHOWER UNIT . LOVELY LARGE BEDROOM AND VERY COMFORTABLE BEDS AS WELL AS PLENTY OF WARDROBE AND DRAWERS. SALTY BAY FLAT IS IDEAL FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE MOBILITY PROBLEMS AS IT IS GROUND FLOOR (NOT THE BASEMENT OR ONES ABOVE) ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A FEW STEPS TO GET UP TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE. Negative: THESE ARE THE REASONS I DID NOT GIVE SALTY BAY A FULL 5 STAR RATING WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE AS THE FLAT ITSELF IS EXCELLENT............ AFTER A 3 HOUR CAR JOURNEY ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS GET IN TO YOUR ACCOMODATION AND SETTTLE DOWN. NOT SO! KEY CODE BOX WAS OBVIOUSLY PAST ITS SELL BUY DATE AND WAS RIDICULOUSLY AWKWARD TO GET INTO AND JUST WOULDNT WORK EVEN AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING DOING THE EXACT CODES GIVEN. VERY FRUSTRATING AND AGGRAVATING ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS RAINING AND COLD! EVENTUALLY TOOK 20 MINUTES ...DEFINETELY NEEDS REPLACING WITH NEW UNIT. THEN, AFTER FINALLY ENTERING THE FLAT AND BEING WOWED BY THE DECOR AND FACILITIES OFFERED TO MINE AND MY WIFES HORROR THE BEAUTIFUL BAY WINDOW LOOKING OUT TO SEA (AS IN BOOKING.COM PHOTOS ) WAS CRISS CROSSED OVER WITH SCAFFOLDING (WHICH IN FAIRNESS WE HADNT NOTICED THE OUTSIDE DUE TO THE DARK AND TRYING TO GET IN!) AND COME THE MORNING INSTEAD OF A WONDERFUL VIEW OF THE SEA WE HAD STEEL NOUGHTS AND CROSSES TO LOOK AT !!! WE WERE NOT INFORMED THAT THERE WAS WORK IN PROGRESS TO THE BUILDING ON THE EXTERNAL SIDE AND IN FACT HAD WE KNOWN THIS WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY LOOKED FOR OTHE ACCOMODATION. ALSO....IF YOU ARE GOING AT A BUSY TIME OF THE YEAR DO NOT GO BY THE DESCRIPTION HOST AND STAY GIVES OF PARKING.....YES IT IS FREE BUT NO, NOT GUARANTEED, AS ITS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT NO CHARGE AND THERE IS RELATIVELY A SMALL AMOUNT OF ON ROAD PARKING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY AS WE MANAGED TO PARK RIGHT OUTSIDE AND ONLY USED THE CAR ONCE . OTHERWISE PARKING IS WAY AWAY DOWN THE ROAD. SALTBURN IS A LOVELY PLACE AND VERY POPULAR AT ALL TIMES OF THE YEAR SO THIS DOES APPLY WHAT I HAVE SAID. REALISTICALLY A PERMIT SHOULD BE ARRANGED BY HOST AND STAY. FINALLY THE NIGHT BEFORE WE WERE GOING TO LEAVE THE FLAT ABOVE HAD LEFT AND SURPRISINGLY AT AROUND 8PM THERE WERE LARGE NOISES AND BANGING AND HOOVER NOISES WHICH SUGGESTED THAT THE FLAT WAS BEING PREPARED FOR THE NEXT PEOPLE THE FOLLOWING DAY. THIS OF COURSE SHOULD NOT OCCUR

Lovely stay. But be warned of neighbours above Positive: Great location. Lovely view. Very high ceilings. Negative: Could hear the neighbours above

Lovely, modern apartment witj fantastic views. Positive: Wonderful views and modem, warm and well appointed apartment. Tastefully decorated and we found free parking directly outside the property every day. Negative: Entry code was only provided once we arrived there. Could be a little more trusting. Price a little on the high side.

Loved the sea view, covenience of shopping, elegant and up to date decor and fittings.

This was our second visit and we weren’t disappointed! Beautifully appointed apartment with everything we need provided. Comfortable and spacious. The highlight of our 6 day stay was spotting dolphins playing some 100m out to sea. We got to see them close up with the, thoughtfully provided, binoculars.

Wonderful stay. Fantastic location & communication from host will definitely stay again.

An apartment to a good standard with modern and well presented facilities with a great outlook and free street parking on the road outside. Location ideal for the coast and North Yorkshire Moors with plenty of transport options and nice walks along the beach. Lots of choice on local restaurants within easy walking distance and friendly and helpful. Host was extremely helpful and responsive to questions. An enjoyable stay and highly recommended if staying in Saltburn.

Fabulous stay with our dog on our first holiday with her Positive: Beautifully decorated and accessorised with good quality bedding and fabulous location Negative: Nothing at all

Had a great few days , location was excellent , straight down to the beach pubs and cafes short walk

We were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the flat. The fridge was very dirty. The lounge when we arrived had a funny dirty smell and was full of blow flies. We killed over 15!!! There were more when we got up the next day! The sheets on the bed were full of hair. The bathroom floor was dirty and dusty with dead flies and wood lice. The whole place had a general unclean feeling. I reported the issues & was promised a cleaner would come the next day but no one turned up or contacted us. I do not recommend this flat to anyone!! It spoilt our weekend.

Highly recommend. Perfect location.

We have an absolutely gorgeous stay in Saltburn. Right on the front, across the beach, could not ask for a more perfect location. Apartment is stunning and has everything you could need. Would highly recommend this place.

Positive: The location was excellent and the flat was very modern and comfortable. Negative: It wasn't very clean.It did not appear if it had a deep clean in a while. The fridge was dirty and tiny freezer compartment was all iced up and in need of a defrost. Some of the cups appeared not to have been cleaned properly. They were heavily stained.The coffee machine didn't work as the pods left were the wrong size.I noticed other reviewers had noted the same issue over a couple of years but it seems to have been ignored. We were left one toilet roll and a heavily used dish scrubber. The toiletries did not match the photo on the website.We approached one of the cleaners who was working in another flat in the building and asked if we could have the bedding changed. She said she would ask her boss but the bedding was never changed in the 11 nights we were there. We would definitely stay here again but would appreciate more attention to the points I have raised.

Really lovely accommodation in a perfect location. Ideal stay with our dog. Positive: Location was brilliant and the apartment was beautiful. Lovely shower and a great wide, comfortable bed. First floor was a great choice and worked especially well with our ‘mature’ dog. Really pleased with the central location and quick access to the gorgeous wide beach and amenities of the town. . Negative: As it was so lovely I don’t like to be churlish and criticise anything but if I have to mention anything that could be improved upon then it would be to remove the heavily scratched non stick baking tin; supply a non-scratch scourer and decent sponge cloth to wipe the sides down.

Well impressed!Communication with host was great,Lockbox checking was a breeze,A really impressive apartment to walk into with its stylish furnishings and such high ceilings that the marketing photos simply don’t do justice.Extremely clean and tidy with all appliances in good working order All in all a great space to be in with a seafront view from the dining table you feel like you’re already taking part in the day before you’ve even left the apartment!The bedroom is set at the back of the building so extremely quiet and peaceful although you may here people pottering in the apartment above from time to time but you’d be a real wet wipe for this to bother you. We took our little dog and it was great for him too as you are straight out of the door and onto the front.Loved it and will certainly be returning.

We enjoyed our short break in Salty Bay the apartment was perfectly placed for the sea views and easy walk into town centre. Very quiet spot on an evening so peaceful for sleeping. The apartment is spacious and well furnished with a large comfy bed and great shower. Everything you could need and we would recommend. There were very few negatives, there was no real welcome pack just a few milk sachets not really a problem as I do take things with us but other places we have stayed have supplied milk, biscuits and even wine! All things considered we would happily stay here again.

Great birthday break away as always Positive: This was the 3rd apartment we have stopped at in this property and all 3 are excellent examples. Negative: Nothing

Great place with a stunning sea view

Beautiful location, stunning sea views. Modern apartment with luxury soft furnishings. Central- walking distance to all attractions and amenities.

Excellent, would highly recommend

Fantastic view of the sea. Easy free street parking. Comfortable mattress. Nice easy apartment that made it feel like a home away from home. Good location!

Sea front getaway Positive: Super clean and comfortable apartment with bay window and view of the sea and cliffs Comfy massive bed, warm and quiet Negative: No suitable coffee pods and scant teabags - its a little thing but it makes a difference Lounge window not closing fully - looks like it needs replacing - there was quite a breeze blowing through it

Oh we did like to be beside the seaside! Positive: Fabulous location with a stunning view of the angry sea Negative: A couple of niggles which we shared privately with the host

Apartment as described and in pictures, lots of space comfortable seating, nice welcome pack, clean and tidy.\nLiterally across the road from the beach (down lots of steps) with sea views from the dining table, plenty of parking.\n5 minutes walk to all amenities recommend the Butchers.

Great location. Great property Positive: It was a great location and the property was spacious and of good standards Negative: The quilt inside the cupboard smelt

Great place and view. Only thing missing is a radio/music player

Great stay, lovely apartment Positive: Great location, really clean and well stocked, Bed is lovely. Negative: Sorry didn’t want to be negative about this property, but the oven needs a professional cleaning as we tried to cook a roast meal and it smoked the apartment out. Please don’t print this part of the review publicy .

A beautiful property and perfect for exploring Saltburn Positive: Superb location and beautifully clean space

Well-furnished warm apartment with comfy bed . Perfect location for beach walks and restaurants/cafes

Second time staying here absolutely lovely place will 100% be staying here again.

Perfect for a short break, especially if you like walking and cafes. Positive: Very spacious period flat with great views. Obviously it’s been modernised recently. Location was perfect. Negative: Flimsy curtains in bedroom - please fit some decent ones that block out light!

Beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed sitting at the table looking out to sea, felt very homely. The bed was super comfortable too providing us with restful nights.

Good place to stay. I booked kinda last minute but the place is way above my expectation.

This is a great place to stay, the beach is right across the road, there is plenty of free parking outside and is only a two minute walk to lots of bars, cafes and restaurants. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and had everything you need. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit Saltburn by the sea.

Loved the place did not like the cleanliness Positive: Lovely location Great property Completed to a high standard Have actually stayed there before as loved it so much Great parking Negative: Cleanliness Finger marks all over kitchen cabinets Dead flies when lifted blinds Disgusting fridge

Positive: Nice and airy, clean and extremely convenient. Negative: Noise carries from the flat above.

The apartment is well appointed and is handy for the beach down the tramway which goes up and down the steep incline which saves time walking down the many steps. The fare is only £2 per trip. The apartment is spacious and the lounge is large with high ceilings and good views out to sea.

Positive: Sea view large well appointed modern living area

Perfect location Positive: It's gorgeous. Has pretty much everything you'd want, the view from the living room window is incredible and you're as close to the seafront as you can get. Very little noise from people in the above apartments. Negative: Could've done with a fan being provided, struggled to sleep the day it was ~30°, but was fine the other two nights. Probably won't bother you outside of heatwaves.

We love saltburn and it was lovely to have such a great view of the sea, in this lovely fist. Happy to stay there again, highly recommended

Lovely place and stay in Saltburn, so can recommend it - looks better in person than the photos, so overall, a positive experience for the week. Sadly, the management company was disappointing. On the day of check-in, we phoned and politely asked whether there's any possibility of an earlier check-in (2pm rather than 4pm) if the place was ready, or just to drop bags off; something most AirBnB owners are happy to do if it doesn't cause problems with cleaning schedules. In this instance we were greeted with a robust 'you have to pay £30 for anything more than 1hr earlier as you'll have use of the facilities for longer and that's our policy' . Not a great first impression - it's not like you're benefitting from a hotel's spa access! It was mainly clean, but there was considerable dust in some of the clothes drawers which needed wiping out before use and some surfaces had been missed, which is not untypical of AirBNBs, but it could use a deep clean. Coffee machine issue not addressed.

Lovely sea front apartment Positive: Lovely spacious apartment with great proportions. Very well equipped and tastefully decorated. Lovely sea view from bay window. Very comfortable bed. Quiet. Spotlessly clean. Very well situated for access to sea front / station / restaurants etc. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again without hesitation. Negative: Nothing.

Beautiful apartment - perfect for our first stay in Saltburn by the sea. It had everything you need. I had the best nights sleep in the comfy bed. Thank you

Exactly as shown on website. Clean, comfortable, kingsize bed. Responsive hosts. Within walking distance of all Saltburn has to offer. Will definitely visit again!

We enjoy the stay Positive: Super modern, sauber, komfortabel!

Our stay was excellent, can't wait to go back.

absolutely beautiful house in a beautiful location

Great location, great views. The apartment was nice, modern and clean. The front door Yale lock was awkward to open. The kitchen tap was broken but still working (so no problem). No dishwasher tablets left. Overall really good though and I’d definitely stay there again.

Clean comfortable stay at the seaside. Positive: Superb location in a lovely seaside town. Spacious, well furnished rooms. Decent storage and coat hooks. Glorious Seaview and plenty of pubs and restaurants within easy walk. Negative: Shortage of towels. We had to buy hand towels from nearby Sainsbury (and dishwasher tabs)

Great location but a few problems Positive: Great location, lovely views, free parking, comfortable property, large comfortable bed Negative: We had a few problems during our two night stay. The boiler stopped working, so we didn’t have hot water for one day. The shower drain was blocked (and very smelly). The kitchen tap still had a constant drip (even though this was reported by another visitor several months ago). The coffee machine didn’t work as the wrong sized coffee pods were supplied.

We had a lovely stay, shame about the tap! Positive: The sea view, excellent facilities,plenty of everything in the kitchen. The bed was soooo comfortable. Negative: The constantly dripping kitchen tap!

Apartment in a great position for sea views Positive: The views were fantastic and the apartment had a brilliant shower Negative: Cleanliness. When we got in touch with Host and Stay they re-cleaned the apartment the following day. There were also a couple of issues which couldnt be rectified while were there but this maybe because it is the owners responsibility to rectifiy. i.e no plug in sink. I did find Host and Stay difficult to contact as the number given only goes to a person who just passes messages along to other people but once they were aware of our issues they acted quickly to put the issues right. However, this is the second time we have used Host and Stay and the first time was no issues. So, would I use this organisation again? Yes, I would, basically let down by a cleaner.

Really lovely apartment with a cracking view and free parking outside. Busy area but very quiet at night, really enjoyed our stay and thanks again

This is a stunning property, with beautiful sea views, we had a fantastic stay thank you x

This was a stylish, spacious and comfortable apartment in a fantastic location right on the seafront. Parking available within a short distance and sometimes right outside, depending on time of day. Well equipped kitchen.

Great apartment, great location, great views! The main door Yale lock requires attention as it’s not easy to open (you have to really pull the door and turn the key to the right). The apartment door also takes some closing and may need adjusting. I read a few reviews before booking about banging and heard this fairly loudly at 2.30am (no idea what it was but didn’t sound like central heating for example). The apartment was nice and clean, shower was great and we had everything we needed.

Great place

We had a wonderful couple of days. The only slight issue was being woken at 5am by loud banging which sounded like it was the door, then there was shouting. It was only after we went out that morning we realised that there was a care home next door and one of the residents must have been having an episode. The second night was completely peaceful. Once we realised what the noise was it wasn’t an issue and the location and the flat were just perfect we would book again.

beautiful apartment with an amazing view! thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!

Very clean and comfortable with good instructions. Quick response when heating did not come on in the morning so flat was cold.

Lovely Flat, great views over the sea. Had all the things you need in a stay.

GREAT STAYED HERE BEFORE, BED WAS COMFY Negative: TV DIDNT WORK PROPERLY

Comfortable, stylish and well equipped property in a beautiful and accessible location. Positive: The location was perfect- beautiful views, beach and pier and great eateries very accessible. Shops close by and loads of free parking. Communication with host was speedy, friendly and helpful. Negative: The waiver and deposit came as a surprise and was a bit annoying to have to complete separately. I chose Booking.com over Air BnB to avoid hidden costs. Maybe it could all be included in the initial booking so client can book then forget about it until the trip arrives. However, it was not a big problem and didn’t spoil anything!

We really enjoyed our stay, loved Saltburn and apartment. Loved the view over the sea. Great meal out at night. Would lo Positive: Great position, in relationship to sea and town centre. Wonderful large rooms. Bed very comfortable. Great little touches of tea, coffee, milk, washing up and dishwashing tablets. Every thing thought of . Negative: Didn’t like the damage waiver fee with admin costs so either an extra £10 or £25 pounds. The app won’t let me opt for the £10 admin fee. Only option was to pay the £25 or I wouldn’t get key code.

Wonderful! Positive: Fantastic location, clean and tidy, good sized rooms, great facilities. Negative: No bath, not complaining though, shower was excellent.

Salty Seaview Positive: Seaview, spacious, modern, comfortable, great location, free parking Negative: Nothing to complain about, loved the entire apartment!

Spot on location and accommodation. Grahame

Disappointed Positive: Location was excellent. Host and stay had good communication Negative: Entrance steps full of cigarette ends. Entrance hall depressing Passable quality furniture Bed uncomfortable, view of bins No heating instructions, we couldn't regulate temperature or time so cold. We left early

We really enjoyed it and would return to other properties you own Positive: Location . It was modern and a lovely layout Negative: There was a lot of noise and men hanging around next door .

Perfect location and amazing view.

Negative: pillows not very good

Really nice flat, high quality and super clean. Lovely location with amazing views. Managed to spot dolphins from the dining table! Great idea having the online guidebook too. Only small negative was the lack of noiseproofing between floors.

Already recommended to friends and family! we will definitely be back Positive: spacious, bright, airy and immaculately clean. Free parking outside. beach lift so close and lots of lovely bars and restaurants within walking distance! Negative: only negative was the sofa which I think is a bed settee - not very comfortable. but there is a massive chair which is so comfortable
