Host & Stay | The Garden Flat — Guest Reviews

Great place. Good location to the beach. Easy to check in. Great value.

Great location, comfortable accommodation, would highly recommend and definitely stay again, great value for money

Lovely stay, everything I needed for a longer stay was there. The location was great being close to the train station, short walk to the beach and the town centre. Thank you!

Great place to stay, lots of space, convinient location but not great if you have mobility issues due to lot if steps. Homely, comfortable and had everything we needed for a week stay. Bed and sofas were comfy, kitchen well appointed. We had a wonderful stay and would 100% stay here again.

Lovely flat. Clean, well appointed, homely, warm. Excellent location for both town and sea front. We are walkers, and its a great starting point for the coastal paths. In 3 days we managed 42 miles on various sections of the Cleveland Way. Would deffo go back - excellent all round.

Nice .. Positive: Tge locked box housing the keys was good … Negative: A towel in the kitchen would ve been a bonus .. I wasn t happy with tge cleaning , the cob webs in the kitchen and the dust was awful in the lounge , tge skirting boards hasn t been dusted in a while !!! Either .. the mugs were soo stained too .. I left them out for the cleaners to sort them out , but if they didn t , I woukdn t know .. but if you get complaints , you ll know !!! You need to make sure that the stair s are mentioned as the access , as I hadn t noticed about stairs to door , and I struggled as I m disabled ..

Looked just like the photos. Rooms were spacious and had super high ceilings and such character. We cosied up on the wonderfully comfy sofas for quiet nights in after a day exploring. Close enough to the sea front to go for a stroll on the beach. A good base to relax and to unwind. So much still to see in Yorkshire so we will be back. Only criticism is if the bathroom could have a rail for older, disabled people to steady themselves when showering, otherwise a gem of a find.

Definitely a great base for our holiday. Perfect location just a walk away from town or trains etc but just far enough to be lovely and quiet. Nice cosy flat. We would recommend.

Comfy, Spacious, Clean Positive: Everything in the property was just right for a perfect home from home experience. Negative: Slow Wifi

This is a fabulous place to stay as long as you're not expecting modern chic. The flat was light and airy with lovely big, comfortable rooms and a very large well equipped kitchen. Very clean on arrival. A 10 minute walk to South Bay and all its amenities.

There were a few things that unfortunately let our stay down, but the flat is spacious and nicely furnished and I was so grateful to be able to park either outside or opposite the property. We were able to walk down and up to the beach in a short time and the supermarket was only 3-4 minutes drive, to get supplies. The communication was very good with the hosts

Great location, easy to find and very spacious accommodation

Ok Positive: Nice apartment Negative: Cleanliness was shocking no batteries in tv remote and wifi off no salt pepper condiments

Flat was unclean and smelly

Positive: Location and very spacious Negative: No problem for us but a lot of steps if you have mobility issues

It was a nice apartment. Positive: Its proximity to central locations Negative: Nothing

the weather was superb as was the accomodation Positive: the flat suited us in every way Negative: nothing

Would recommend Positive: Spacious flat. Everything you need. Good heating system. Negative: The steps down from the pavement level.

The stay was great parked car up and did not use till went home. Very close to town and the Spa and beach. The place we stayed was very clean and comfortable. We did speak to owner when coming in one day and they told use to put heating on if cold which is great if you need it

Such a stunning apartment with lots of space, extremely clean and tidy and very well equipped. Would 100% return again to do some more exploring. 10 minute walk into the centre of Scarborough, such a perfect location.

Very comfortable accommodation. It is situated in an ideal place for access to the South bay and the Italian gardens.and in the opposite direction straight into town . We don’t find the steps down a problem but other less able people would . We have been back to this same flat 3 times now , so that speaks for itself.

Positive: The property was lovely and spacious, places to stay usually lack coat hooks/hangers, there were plenty. Sofa was comfortable. Negative: The bed was creaky and felt like we couldn't move, or it moved, causing an uncomfortable sleep. The bath felt unsure underfoot when showering.

Had a lovely week here, it’s a great flat, felt quite large with two people and had everything we needed while staying. It is in a great location for walking to Scarborough beach and travelling up and down the east coast. The host was also very quick to respond to questions with useful answers which is always a huge help. Would recommend!

If you are considering this as your next holiday base please believe me you won’t find better!! Spotlessly clean, gorgeous furniture & decor the bathroom had both a bath & a shower . Kitchen was huge & again spotless . We came due to work but would not hesitate to book again it’s just perfect!!

Great communication. Rooms very clean and uncluttered. Everything worked. The steps down to the front door could be challenging for a elderly or disabled person, but not impossible. Thanks to all involved. Would book again.

Lovely apartment, classy decor, great location, really quiet, comfortable bed, plenty of hot water. Minor niggles re cleanliness (carpet rather crumby, a couple of hairs in the bath, no scourer only a j-cloth for washing up so pots in the cupboard a bit sticky..) Be aware you are booking with Host and Stay. I've never been asked before in umpteen years using Airbnb to pay a large deposit to cover accidental damage or complete an additional registration form, was rather puzzled by this and tried to message the host via the Airbnb website to clarify but there appears to be a glitch - was only able to contact the host via their call centre or their own email - so didn't bother as Airbnb advises only to contact via the Airbnb website.

We loved our stay here! Great location and the flat was clean and tidy. It had everything you need for your trip. Would recommend!

😃😃 Positive: Nice place to stay Negative: Very comfortable

Short, sweet and comfortable. Positive: The space in each room Negative: It’s not so much about not liking it just needs a little update.

Great place. Well located to the seafront aswell as the surrounding town centre but far enough that it wasn’t noisy. Very spacious and airy. Bed very comfortable and had everything I needed. Will definately stay again

Really spacious apartment, much more so than most other 1 bed AirBnBs. Great location as well. Just dropped a mark as noticed a couple of spots (bedside table and bathroom shelving) hadn’t been dusted very well (not the first time I’ve noticed that cleaning in a host & stay apartment hasn’t been great unfortunately). But a pretty minor gripe in a really nice flat!

Magnifique Positive: L'appartement est magnifique, décoré avec goût et beaucoup de personnalité. Le lieu est propre, et tout est très bien agencé. Situé dans un quartier résidentiel calme, à dix minutes du centre. Je reviendrai très certainement ! Negative: Les voisins vivant au-dessus sont un peu bruyants, sinon tout était parfait.

Had a lovely stay at the Garden Flat, about a 15-20 minute walk to the beach where there is a lot to do! The flat has a large space, comfortable sofas and bed. Found the electric fire works well and heats up quickly, great homely touch. The bathroom, kitchen and bedroom has a lot of room. Overall, it’s a nice place to stay and would recommend.

Positive: Sehr grosszügige Wohnung mit Ausblick in den Garten

Positive: The flat was lovely and comfortable, it had everything we needed, lovely outside area which has the sun all day and evening. Would definitely recommend it. Negative: The toilet seat was positioned to far forward for male use.

Very clean and comfortable.

Lovely flat Positive: It was very spacious, well equipped, warm and comfortable. Able to park close by. Negative: The 12 steps leading down to the flat. I think these should have been mentioned in the description.

Third time stopping here Third time stopping here and won’t be the last . Perfect location for us .

Brilliant place to stay. Positive: Nice flat, comfy rooms, very spacious. Very pleased to have a bath, and also parking directly outside. Location just right for quietness and close enough for the town and beach. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay! Positive: The location was fantastic, close to town and supermarket. The flat was fantastic, clean and very cosy, everything you needed was there and the host was in touch checking in which was great. Negative: All was great

Positive: Nice big garden/basement flat, in a quiet street only about 10 minutes away from South Bay Beach, a big Tesco, and only a couple of minutes more to the town centre. The bed was very comfy (even though it was a bit short, if I had to guess, I would say 140x180 cm, so probably a bit of a tight fit for two people). The kitchen is quite big, toaster, stove, kettle etc. were working fine, kitchen chairs were a bit uncomfortable, though. A washing machine and dryer were present, as I didn't use them I don't know if they work. All in all I had a nice stay. Negative: There were quite a lot of spiderwebs to be found in the flat, e.g, on the upper edge of the bathroom window, underneath a kitchen shelf, behind a trunk in the living room. I also had a spider crawling on my towel in the bathroom when I grabbed it to dry myself! So careful with booking if you are afraid of spiders! You can also hear the people in the flat above talking quite clearly, so I would guess they can hear people in the garden flat talking/moving around as well.

Had a nice week Positive: Nice and spacious, good location Negative: Steps leading down to the apartment, but it does state there are steps

We have just spent 6 nights in the garden flat, Scarborough. It was a very comfortable stay. It has everything to make your trip relaxing and stress free. Good location. Near the train station and local buses to explore the area. Would recommend staying here to family and friends. Thank you

Perfect staycation & Love the Apartment Positive: Gorgeous apartment and lovely garden. Quite location, with a short scenic walk into the centre & beach. Nr train station. Second year we've stayed here and will again ! Negative: Not connected with the apartment, but problems paying Insurance via a separate company. Happened last year and again this year, so an issue which needs addressing as very time consuming trying to resolve. Only made the effort because the apartment is so lovely and wanted to stay there again, so Please for guests make Insurance within the actual price. Far easier and uncomplicated for guests

This is our second stay and it won’t be our last Positive: Very clean and spacious! Well equipped and handy location . Close enough to amenities but quiet too .? Negative: Nothing

Enjoyable and relaxing Positive: Cosy and clean Negative: Not a problem for me but the steps down to the front door could be an issue for older people

Lovely spot and the bed was extremely comfortable.

Perfect Garden Flat vacation. Positive: Great location lovely flat Negative: Soundproofing is poor with upstairs, can be a bit noisy.

Host and Stay is unresponsive. You are actually talking to a bot. The answers are premanufactured. After booking you are required to do a verification process which will cost you a further 10 euros or you can buy an insurance for another few bucks. These unexpected verification process should be already done in the booking process. If you have booked but didnt do the verification process because the verification process mail is sent only after few hours later. Personally when i booked an airbnb I have no time to recheck my booking. This verification mail request is an automated mail which I didnt really care much only to know this was a prequisite to enter the apartment or you wont get any check in info. Secondly when I entered the kitchen ware was dirty. The pans were still oily and on some kettles we found a hair inside. The apartment itself is under ground floor and is connected to an apartment on ground floor where kids are running. So quiet noisy.

Clean comfortable property. Positive: The property was clean and tidy. It was in a good location. Negative: The fact we were charged a £10 non refundable administration charge which was not mentioned.

A nice place to stay. Nice location, nice space, a little bit tired in places, but nothing that would put me off staying there again. Can't say I liked handing over a £250 security deposit for a while and paying £10 for the privilege. I didn't think it would bother me, but it did. Feels like being minorly gouged by a cheap airline. I do on occasions travel with the cheap airline as they sometimes are the only one who can take me to where I want to go. However the hosting company here do not have that advantage, so I won't stay in any of their properties again, sadly including this one.

Positive: Clean, spacious well maintained garden flat

fabulous apartment to stay in . great location. very clean very well equipped. great service from host n stay. would definitely stay again. we didn't wsnt to come home

A wonderful grounds floor flat with garden. The flat is well located within Scarborough and is in a nice quiet street. We thought the faculties and comfort of the flat were great. We would have liked to have seen some salt and pepper/oil available but isn’t a big issue. It is a shame about the mandatory £10, which for me is a hidden fee from Airbnbs payment and isn’t really necessary. I still haven’t received my deposit back either after a week, so would have been 5* if not for these final two issues.

Great place to stay.

lovely spacious flat, with pretty sitting out area, in very convenient location.

Will recommend and return Positive: Location, property in general. Negative: Shower screen

Positive: Perfect location, home from home feel

Perfect for a long weekend, could easily walk into town/seafront. Very spacious with everything provided.

fun and homely Positive: space and neatness Negative: Lack of immediate access to public transportation

Very convenient and suited needs. Well equipped in the kitchen and very clean.

Good place, would definitely stay at the accommodation again. Did not like that the deposit came with non-refundable transaction fee.

Good location, nice and clean. Appreciated the biscuits milk tea and coffee.

Clean, tidy and well appointed flat. Fantastic location and good amenities. Would recommend a stay.

Our Host and Stay holiday Positive: Everywhere was spacious and very clean Very satisfied with the parking of our car. The location was really good not far to walk to the shops and attractions. Negative: Wasn't to keen on the steps leading down to the entrance to the property but ok when we got used to them and appreciated the lighting that helped us to get down the steps In the dark

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A very comfortable, spacious and well equipped basement apartment. It was also surprisingly light ... as well as wonderfully characterful. We also really appreciated the parking permit.

Positive: Sitting room was lovely. Bright and spacious and well decorated

Very comfortable, clean. Very good. The steps were a bit of a problem, but nothing too bad.

Very clean apartment in an ideal location for visiting Scarborough. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I would happily recommend this apartment and gladly stay again.

Absolutely loved the place, so so gorgeous and spacious!!! Incredibly clean and well laid out. About 5mins walk from the beach and there’s a super friendly pub just a minute from the location that people should check out. Such an amazing place, was genuinely sad to leave but will definitely be back.

highly recommend good centre location apartment was spotless and very homely

Enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and spacious apartment which is close to Scarborough town centre. Enjoyed sitting in the pretty garden in the sunshine.

Marvelous.. Positive: The apartment was spacious... Clean and airy.. In a good location. Parking was a bonus. Negative: Only a slight issue and I do not think there would be an easy solution but as the bathroom was right at the front of the property within the vestibule and the bedroom at the back.. Middle of the night visits to the loo was a bit of a pain.

Very spacious and comfortable traditional property. Positive: Central location within convenient distance of a wide range of local amenities. Negative: Nothing

Great stay. Lovely flat,so clean and comfortable. Positive: N/A Negative: Steep steps were a very big problem and was not told about them they were not explained on the website.Great stay.

Positive: Great locatiion not far from train station. A garden to relax within. There was access from the front and back of property, the back gate accessed the lower road taking you to the beach/sea front or a scenic walk to the town centre. Well equipped kitchen. Thoughtful extras like blankets to keep you warm when sitting in the garden. They had even left a folder containing instructions manuals for the appliances.

The Garden Flat was an amazing place to stay. Felt homely, it was clean and well presented. Loved the feel of the whole place!! Even had a fresh pint of milk in the fridge when we got there. Incredible!

Excellent flat in a great location south side of Scarborough, in a lovely quiet area with a couple of local pubs/bars nearby. Beautiful living room, big kitchen and really comfortable bed. Would highly recommend, wished we could have stayed longer but just a short trip this time. Will be returning in the future 👍

Very spacious & private flat. Positive: Lovely garden flat... At rear nice garden and views over mature trees. Very secure and private. Great base for exploring the east coast. Parking no problem. Well equipped flat. Helpful but not intrusive hosts. Incredibly spacious. A real Home from home. Would deffintely book again. Negative: Beware of the steps down to the flat if you are infirm. We were well informed about this but just incase you missed this warning.

Amazing garden flat ! Our stay at the garden flat was amazing. The flat was very clean , and incredibly spacious. It was very well equipped too. Lovely to relax in the evening, after walking our legs off all day .We will definitely be booking here again.

Great accomodation, had everything we needed, very comfortable bed and the parking disc provided worked great. Thanks for a lovely stay, would definitely recommend to others.

This is such a lovely flat its more like a house its massive,brilliant location if you go out back gate cross the road go right bit of a hill go through the middle you will find town centre. If you just wall down the hill you will find the beach. host was brilliant too. everything you need inside the flat we loved it and will be back and will recommend to friends thanks for letting us stay me and my wife loved it.

Fantastic flat, great location, very stylish and clean. Parking very easy just outside. Easy check in and equipped with everything you’ll need for your stay.
