What our customers say about their holidays

  If you like to spend your 'get away from it all' holiday living under a wooden stage populated by tap dancers wearing clogs then this is the property for you.

  Grimes Nook should be advertised with a noise warning... The lack of any floor covering in the apartment above means that you can share your neighbors holiday with them! Every footfall, word, wag of the dog's tail, opening of a drawer, pull of the loo roll can be yours too! All a special delight if they are early risers!! Sharing is caring but this is beyond unbearable. Add to this the general state of the property... Grimy Nook would be more appropriate. We had to wash everything in the kitchen before we could use it. The mugs (Wilko specials) were stained dark brown, the wine glasses smeary and dirty. Let's hope you don't need to grate cheese... unless you like rust on your spag bol! Let's hope you don't like ice in your gin, either ... the freezer was completely frozen up. We managed to chip the ice tray out but there was no way it was going back in, and I don't go on holiday to defrost other people's freezers. Then, if you manage to cook anything (and you need to be aware that there are NO basic essentials provided in this place at all) beware that the table doesn't collapse as you eat... It's pretty close to it! Maybe after you've eaten you'd like to use the shower room? Well, best to wear gloves when turning the light on. The light pull... a cord with a plastic toggle on the end... was once white... no more. It's now brown and indescribable near the toggle. Really?! These cords cost pence to replace... Unacceptable!! Never mind COVID precautions, what about e-coli! Never mind... let's use the loo. Generosity knows no bounds here with 1 complimentary loo roll! And let's hope you don't need to clean the bowl... You do NOT want to touch the loo brush which is a health hazard and lives in a damp damaged, yellow-stained corner (loo brushes cost a few pounds... surely this could be replaced every month). OK... Now I need a shower to get clean... The shower is ok, as long as you can fit through the tiny opening, but when you get out, the bath towel is not much bigger than a hand towel and the kind of quality you'd get in a charity shop to line your new puppy's bed with. Whilst house training. Still, the location was great... the owners clearly agree because I certainly can't see what else we paid the ridiculously overpriced rental fee for. We left after 4 nights as we could bear it any longer Avoid this place... Its an utter rip off.

  Most of our stay in staithes was good and we would like to return in the future.

  There is a few things that would be ideal for future visitors - Somewhere to keep bathroom toilettes - lamp bulbs / one was out , no WiFi to contact you but we were ok with one lamp , just so you are aware it needs replacing . - broken glasses in cupboards on arrival - more trays / roasting tin for oven maybe - bigger toaster - had to squash bread to fit in very small toaster . - better pillows and the bedding was very bitty and tired . On arrival the cottage looked nice and was warm, so thankyou for pre warming on such a cold day . To my horror both sofas have a lot of mould behind the big cushions, this I know to be a health hazard and I’m very upset about it .. I suffer from asthma so this worried me a great deal . Peace and tranquility!! None of this I’m afraid .. The noise from the tenants above in grimes cottage was horrendous.. on our last night they decided after making so much racket for 3 days and nights to switch the washing machine on which probably ended around 1am . As for there being no Wi-Fi ,and leaving our I pads etc at home to read a good book whilst away , we did not get that holiday , relaxing feel you described in the description details and have returned home tired and a little stressed having very little sleep . My husbands 60th birthday treat was a flop

  We recently visited 1 Burns Yard and had a wonderful stay.

  The property was exceptionally clean and met our high standards of cleanliness. The property is well equipped and has everything that you will need. The linen and towels were lovely too and there were mattress and pillow protectors used; the mattress was new. We took our little dog, who felt very settled and at home. If you struggle with stairs then this would not be the property for you, as there are forty stairs from the hallway up to the third floor. 1 Burns Yard is situated in a central location and literally a few minutes walk from the harbour. There are also some good pubs, a stylish wine bar and restaurants on the doorstep. Judith, our host was very friendly and professional. The only negative we had was that the lead up to the property needed sweeping and jet washing, the wheelie bins were over flowing with garbage which was off-putting. However, this is a shared pathway to four or five properties on Burns Yard and so all residents/property owners have a role to play in keeping the pathway maintained. To this end, we will definitely book this property again without hesitation and would recommend it to our family and friends.

  The positives….

  . situated brilliantly for everything around Whitby. The carpets around the property felt plush. Everything you could need in a kitchen. Heating system easy to use. Communication with owner excellent. The negatives… Seats in lounge were uncomfortable and one of them wasn’t the cleanest. One of the sockets in the living room not working. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned fully. The toilet had fluff behind it and a wooden toilet seat is unsanitary. The shower head was dirty so we didn’t use that. We had to clean the bath and tiles before use because it wasn’t cleaned properly. The radiator in the bathroom didn’t work. The toilet roll holder broke on first use and fell off the wall. The mattress was uncomfortable and the bed frame needs tightening as just breathing makes it move. If you’re allergic to birds, definitely avoid this place. The pigeons love to use the alleyway as a toilet and we slipped on the poo a few times. The cutlery etc was all tinged with a taste of bleach so had to wash before use.

  This really was a great find & an ideal getaway for 2 people.

  The property is all on one level and located minutes from the sea, the main high street and 2 pubs. The living area was clean, comfortable and really cosy, especially when the wood burner was lit. The kitchen area was well equipped and functional, although the table a bit wobbly. But note that there is no mobile signal available at the property, however a short walk to the harbour or pub will resolve this issue. We were a bit worried about the inconvenience of having to park the car at the top of the village, but to be honest it wasn’t an issue as we spend most of our time meandering around the little streets & alleyways and enjoying the coastal walks. Just be prepared and bring groceries and wood for the fire, with you so you don’t have to keep walking back up to the top. This is a beautiful location and we will be back, though not suitable for people with limited mobility as there are steps to navigate to the property.
