  : The property was in a good location, modern, clean.
  : Advert misleading regarding parking as it states its with parking and then in the small print stated its an extra charge for 5 pound aday but dose not state where and it actually cost us 10. Beds needed a mattress topper could feel and here the springs as you turned over

  : Quaint cottage in a great location. Clean, bright, modernised but still 'cottagey'. Small, but big enough.
  : There was a foisty smell in the cottage. There was no signs of damp but maybe air fresheners and even a dehumidifier could have helped. Also a better seal on the bottom of the shower door would stop the water leaking onto the bathroom floor.

  : Location.
  : Filthy! The shower walls and bathroom floor need a deep clean with a scrubbing brush as does the stain on the carpet in the bedroom. Too many emails when booking and an excessive breakage deposit.

  : The location of the cottage. Not in the potentially noisy beach area, but still centrally located.I like the skills of the photographer to make the small, dark, dingy lounge/kitchen diner look so bright and airy.
  : Absolute rip-off. 154.80 for a Thursday night in September. They then had the cheek to demand a further 250 'damage waiver' at the last minute, 4pm, when I was trying to check in. They wouldn't hand over the door code until they got their grubby little mit's on their hidden 'extra' stealth charge. This wasn't easy to 'phone through, as there is NO Vodafone signal in Staithes. I had to go to the highest point of village carpark, 0.4 mile away on the outskirts of Staithes and wave my phone in the air to get a patchy signal. As I had no idea of this charge, I didn't budget for it and ended up with an overdrawn bank account. I don't think a reputable cottage letting firm, e.g. cottages.com, Sykes, etc. would touch this cottage with a bargepole!Not that there's much to damage. No washing machine, for example. When I finally got into the cottage, 50 minutes late, I was greeted by a weird smell, similar to 'garlic breath'. It seemed to be largely confined to the ground floor lounge/kitchen diner. The second floor main bedroom was quite pleasant. I had to keep the ground floor windows open to try and freshen it up a bit, but had to be careful, as I didn't want a gust of wind, or an intruder to break anything!
