Lovely place - kids loved having 4 floors to explore! Recommended. Just make sure you are aware of the loading and parking that is required. Some people seemed to be occupying the parking spaces far longer than 30 mins which made loading the car at the end of the trip a bit more of a trek. Only thing I couldn't find in the house was a cafetiere.
We had a great holiday in Staithes, it is a fantastic place. Unfortunately, this cottage is not as good. It is badly in need of updating and a good clean. Some windows don't close, there are loose door handles (and many doors don't shut properly), bath taps need looking at and the outside space was filthy. The decor and furniture are old fashioned, and yes, they still have Christmas decorations up!! We were fine with 4 floors and lots of stairs but I don't think the description adequately described that.
nice sized accomedation, well equiped and in a good location. disappointed not to have a welcome pack, no tea towels or ice cube containers ! and all blinds and some curtains need fixing or replacing also Christmas decorations still hung up ?
Overall a great property in a great location within the village- plenty of space for us all and the kitchen area was great social area for us all plenty of storage
We were lucky with the weather so was nice sitting out in our little space outside!
Wonderful location, great communication with host, cottage was ideally located and in such a lovely village, its my first time there but certainly hope to be back.
Fantastic stay in a large property with everything you need in the heart of the village. So close to everything, just step outside the front door and you are there. Parking was easy but the steep hill may not suit some. If you do a grocery shop Tesco wont deliver to the house but others will apparently. Had such a great time we booked an extra night.
Had wonderful stay . Enjoyed Staithes with the walking , car free, crabbing , lovely meals out . Location of property is great and bonus is a private parking slot
Host is very responsive. Good communication. Had a small issue which was addressed
We enjoyed our stay, though it wouldn't suit people who don't like stairs as there are a lot. The kitchen was fantastically equipped! Though the smell of damp caused my husband breathing difficulties, it seems its only in the bottom half of the kitchen cupboards, couldn't get main oven to work, luckily had top oven (3 children to cook for) couldn't get any hot water but host quickly rectifyed. It is what it is, and we needed a break. It was clean apart from the grill hadn't been cleaned and crumbs on the side. It's great you can bring your dog but be mindful that the outdoor garden is enough for them is tiny. I think if the house book could be left on the table it would be helpful, Nothing major just leaving an honest review.
Fantastic location and lovely property. Would definitely stay there again. However could not leave first floor bedroom window open as wasn't secure if windy.
Wonderful house on 4 floors with very steep stairs. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location and very spacious property. Would benefit from garden but thatâs impossible with these lively old cottages.
We love Staithes and the local area. Great walks, friendly people.
Didn't like the kitchen. Too dark. Smelled damp all the time even after heating it. Cooking very difficult there because the pans were wrong for the type of cooker. Took 45 mins to boil potatoes cut up small and placed in boiling water from the kettle. So something is wrong. Liked the living room. Floor of main bedroom sloped so head below feet. My side of bed sloped so I felt I was going to fall out. We propped up the legs to stop this happening.
I know it's an old property and loved the quirky features but some things need addressing. Like brighter bulbs in the kitchen and bathroom.
Wouldn't stay in that property again and couldn't recommend it
Belmont is well located and provides good size rooms and enough equipment to cook etc. but would benefit from some tlc and coordinated thought to the interiors and functional maintenance. Pluses: comfy beds, hot decent bath and shower. Downsides: decor is very tired and a bit cluttered, too many random bits of furniture and bric-a-brac, old towels and curtains. Every room has a tv but unfortunately only half of them are hooked up to a signal so just more clutter unless you bring your own amazon box to connect. The drainage of the shower is poor and we had to empty the kitchen sink trap to get that to drain properly too. The bathroom door lock needs a new bolt as does top floor window and none of the sash windows open. The hob in the kitchen doesnt work and whilst plug-in hobs have been provided, its an inconvenient wotkaround.
So all in all, I had hoped for slightly nicer accommodations but they could be easily improved. The location was great, house was comfortable for the 4 of us and owner very helpful when i had questions!
