Uggleby House is a delightful home in a small cul-de-sac in the delightful village of Sleights. It looks deceptively compact from outside, but is surprisingly spacious, with parking for three cars. We stayed for a family gathering with our children, their partners and our grandson, and it worked extremely well. The ground floor is open plan, with a large lounge, kitchen and dining area, plus a utility room and downstairs toilet. There is a small but perfectly adequate garden. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms provide plenty of space. Our grandson loved his room because he could hear the steam trains on the nearby North Yorkshire Moors Railway each morning! The house is well equipped and ideally placed for exploring. Whitby is about ten minutes away, Grosmont and Goathland around fifteen minutes, and Pickering about half an hour. Perry's Plants, close by, does wonderful breakfasts overlooking the River Esk. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Uggleby House.

Good place to stay. Ideal for the 7 of us as a base. We asked for the beds to be split into two singles in one of the rooms but this was not done unfortunately. When we split the beds ourselves there were crisps packets and crumbs under the bed. Other than that the place was clean enough and axgood location away from the centre of Whitby.

The property has the potential to be really lovely but unfortunately wasn’t very clean on arrival, and is a bit run down, eg a broken blind and dirty windows - also a horrendous smell at the front door, like sour milk. We weren’t sent the pre- check in form until several hours after check in time, meaning we didn’t have the code to access the property on arrival. The responses to messages are all automated from the management company as well, which isn’t helpful. I did try to flag these issues privately but just another automated response, so assume it hasn’t been clocked. A shame as the house itself is really lovely, a great size and nice location - just needs some TLC and better check in process.

we booked this about 6 months ago, for 6 of us and a dog, we wanted to get away as a family and my daughters in-laws to join us and her dog, my daughter is 19 weeks pregnant, and just 2 days before we was meant to arrive, she end up in hospital with heavy bleeding and thought we was gonna lose the baby and she was quite poorly. so we knew we was too late for a refund, I message the host and asked if its possible to move over the dates as we didn't want to leave my daughter and her fiance, so the host refused and this resulted in us asking airbnb to step in, the host still wouldn't allow us to move dates. The host had no empathy or sympathy and no thought for anyone in this awful situation, he was just thinking of himself , wrong house number dirty stained carpets mould in bathroom lamps dont work in one room, weeds in garden . back door catches when open, stain mark on bathroom wall, look like poo . was offered 10%discount if we book again, nope ! NOT A VERY NICE HOST

The property is located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, just a few miles from Whitby. It is a modern, semi-detached three-story house with spacious bedrooms and plenty of room for guests. The property is well equipped with all the essential amenities, including a clothes dryer, which made the stay very convenient especially when you are traveling with kids. Although we stayed for only two nights, we found the accommodation extremely comfortable. The host/management is very quick to quick to respond our requests. There is ample parking available for two to three cars directly in front of the property. Overall, we had a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Good - location , size of property , no of en suite rooms ,peaceful area , could be a beautiful house but let down in many areas . Bad - property dirty on arrival with dust and cobwebs everywhere . Windows are filthy and covered in cobwebs and dirt . Cigarette holder outside in garden full and smelly on arrival . Dirty pots in cupboard and dirty foil in ovens . Garden very overgrown with weeds , thistles and dog dirt ! Bed in 2nd bedroom is two singles pushed together with gap in middle and very uncomfortable , sheets had hole in them.

We had a lovely stay at the property which was in a gorgeous location and only 10 minutes from Whitby town centre. We felt right at home the moment we got there and it was a great base to explore Whitby during the day and enjoy a family night in the evening. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again !!

The house could be beautiful but unfortunately our experience was tainted by it being dirty. There was mould in the bathroom, dirty pots and plates in the kitchen cupboards, stained carpets and the handrail on the stairs was very dirty . Alongside this the garden had a lot of someone else’s dog mess still in it and the patio was full of weeds, rendering the garden unusable. There was also no offer of compensation when I complained and sent the pictures through. Had we not have just driven 5 hrs and arrived late we wouldn’t have stayed and I would have requested a full refund.

When we arrived the front door to the property was not locked and we didn't need to use the key safe as that was unlocked also .. The garden was not great lawn to long and weeds everywhere so couldn't really sit outside . The reason we booked this property was because of the dog, who we ended up taking for walks mattress in the second bedroom needed replacing, stains on the carpets, radiators downstairs did not work but upstairs was like a green house (struggled to sleep )

Our stay at Uggleby House was just what we were hoping for, a large open living area downstairs for our family gathering with a large dining table etc.Bedrooms were clean and comfortable with three bathrooms and the added bonus of a downstairs toilet. We would certainly stay here again.

Myself and my family enjoyed our stay at this lovely presented holiday home. The location was perfect as we were only a 10 minute drive from Whitby town centre. The home was very well presented, clean and warm. The bedrooms were great sizes, and the main living area suited us perfectly, as there was 8 of us in total. I would recommend this home for the location, space and cleanliness. Many thanks

A spacious, luxurious property which offers a great space for a group of friends or family to get together. The hosts sent clear instructions and check in with the lockbox was quick and easy. The property was clean and had all the amenities described. The village setting was lovely and the garden was a good size for our dog to wander round. There are a few signs of wear and tear in the property and we would have preferred check out to be 11am, but we would definitely stay again and recommend this place to others!

Overall our stay was lovely the house is in a lovely location and it was big enough for all the family. The open space downstairs is perfect for a family gathering. However the dining table is not fit for purpose. Its bent in the middle so any family would struggle to all have a meal on it which is a shame. Only the two front hobs on the oven worked too making it difficult to cook a full meal. Would recommend The Waterside at Chainbridge, we ate here twice it was amazing!! Fell in love with this place, food is excellent!! Unfortunately downside being run/owned by a company, I personally don't feel like you get the same customer service as you do with a private owner. In all the years I have been staying with air bnb, all private owners have been very accommodating when asking for a slightly earlier check in, more so now we have a baby. Host & Stay wanted to charge through the earth for varies times to check in early. Check ins seem to have got later since Covid and never changed.

Lovely property in a really nice quiet area. It was a perfect base from which to explore the town of Whitby & beyond. The host provided clear instructions from booking through to check out. On the whole we felt comfortable & cosy in the property although we felt that the place really would benefit from some TLC in places. Stains on the living room & staircase carpets, a broken fridge cupboard door & a dirty feel to the kitchen floor are issues that could be easily rectified. I’ve since noticed that some of these things were mentioned in previous reviews from last year. When on holiday you don’t expect to have to mop & hoover the floors on arrival. If the above mentioned issues were sorted out then we’d have felt able to give a 5 star rating although our experience falls slightly below.

Whilst we enjoyed staying at the property, we didn’t expect to have to clean the kitchen nor oven trays on arrival. In addition the freezer door was wide open and in the process of defrosting with guests towels placed on the floor soaking up the water. This was all reported to Host & Stay within 30 minutes of arrival, and 7 days later we’re still awaiting a response from the company. The company also requested that we leave the key in the lock safe for maintenance to attend and change over a mattress during our stay, this was despite checking out the following morning at 10am ….. we stayed because we didn’t want people coming in with our belongings and dog present. Not very professional or organised

Philip

The house is located in an ideal spot to explore the local countryside and coast. We found that communicating with Host and Stay was very cold and lacked the personal touch that you normally get from Airbnb. Automated responses are not helpful and we had to wait up to24 hours for a response. Fortunately our communication was about small items like no tea towel for example. Cleaning fee is excessive especially when the house was not particularly clean. The house desperately needs maintenance to be classed as luxury accommodation. We have stayed at many Airbnb’s which have been wonderful and very welcoming but something about Host &Stay is just lacks personality. For example, No welcome pack, J cloth as a tea towel. Obvious cost cutting measures applied which is inappropriate when billed as luxury accommodation

Overall lovely property which is beautifully decorated. Photos show an accurate representation. Close to Whitby only as short drive. Only negatives was the cleanliness of the house. Kitchen hob and oven dirty, dust and cobwebs everywhere, bag of dog poo left out in the garden and minor damages like stained carpets, broken blinds etc. Had it been cleaned more thoroughly and minor damages fixed it would’ve been 5/5!

My stay with Host & Stay listing was located in lovely area, very close access to the beach and shops. Beautiful house and interior design. The one down side was the small damages around the house. I had to notify Host & Stay to ensure it doesn’t affect my damage insurance. Which was any unexpected extra cost that you need. The kitchen oven and Hob was not cleaned before our arrival. Pots and plates very dirty. We asked for a cleaner and was told that cleaner would come and no cleaner came to clean the kitchen. Overall a lovely stay with family.

This was the first Airbnb I had booked that’s managed by a company rather than it being a persons home and it really showed, the house was clean where you would expect it to be, but it wasn’t maintained very well in other places. We had a few issues and Host and Stay were quick to respond but the general cleanliness/upkeep of the house was lacking. On the first day we got there the freezer had been left open and was completely frozen so that it wouldn’t shut, this was rectified the next day by one of their team. The last night we were there the TV and bracket fell off the wall, which we reported and was hopefully fixed in time for the next guests. The house was in a fantastic location and was a short drive away from Whitby. My only advice would be to read the t&c’s fully before confirming your booking.

This was a great place to stay for a couple of nights in a beautiful location in a small village outside Whitby, for 6 adults, a child and a dog! The rooms were all spacious for the couples and had ensuites which was great. The downstairs room main living room and kitchen area again very spacious and a lovely place to chill on an evening. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything you needed apart from oven gloves but made do with a tea towel. All rooms were spotless on arrival so can’t fault the cleanliness. Would definitely recommend.

This was like a home from home. So clean and tidy and everything brand new. The downstairs space was perfect for everyone to relax and spend time - such a nice added bonus with the bi-fold doors to open and enjoy the garden space. Really have no faults with the house. We absolutely loved it and would definitely stay again. Plenty of parking for 3 cars. The location was perfect for a staycay in Whitby - we used the park and ride service which was only 5 minutes drive away. The nearby village was beautiful and the estate where the house was situated was so quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Beautiful stay just a 5 minute drive from Whitby which was exactly what we were looking for. House was in great condition and as described so our two family’s (4 adults, 3 children) were able to share the whole house together. Everything worked perfect from Wi-Fi (essential for the kids) to all the kitchen, bathroom appliances. EV charger was a great addition although we did have to clarify that we could use it as the listing said we could but the guide which comes a week ahead of the stay said otherwise (this needs updating). However Host & Stay were responsive to our question and we were able to use it. Would stay again if in the area!

The place was very nice and clean before arrival. But we were very disappointed with the lack of help from the host. We were given less than a quarter of a washing up liquid bottle, when we asked for one we were told it was provided before check-in which was not true. We also asked for dishwasher tablets which were not provided but there was a dishwasher there. Again we were told nothing could be done about that. General things like handwash, kitchen tissues, toilet roll, bin bags, you will probably have to take it yourself as they only give 1/2 of each.

Fantastic property! Incredibly spacious! Better than the photos. Great base for the local area. We stayed as a family of 6 (4 adults 2 children). The cottage was well equipped, cosy, clean and spacious. The additional cleaning bill you pay when booking did come as a shock, however it meant we could relax a bit on holiday. Garden was ideal. Beautiful views and felt very private. Great for our two dogs to have a sniff about before their walks. Our only issues...The stair carpet reaching up to the attic room is in need of fixing...it has come away from its carpet grips and is a danger. I'm sure this can be easily rectified. Comfortable beds in TWO of the rooms, however the double bed in the attic room is unsuitable for adults. As soon as you sat on the mattress you sunk down onto a very hard base. In the end, two adults had to switch bedrooms and this bed was given to one child. The single bed felt much the same, but luckily this was also used by a child. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Although this is a modern and very pleasant property we felt that this isn't being maintained to a very high standard. The downstairs taps sent water flying everywhere when turned on too much, we had power cuts due to a faulty fuse and they don't provide oven gloves meaning that cooking was a nightmare leaving several members of our party burned. Be prepared!

Beware when booking there is a £125 cleaning bill added to your final bill. Although mainly clean , it was not spotless. I had to re clean the fridge and toilet . My husband cut his foot on a shard of glass in the main en suite . Bird poo was all over the bifolds which were not locking correctly ( we notified owners ). No WiFi and generally phone signal is very poor. No welcome pack only a pint of milk, coffee, tea and cleaning gear. Weeds on patio area outside. I sound very picky but this was not cheap accommodation. On a positive note , the open plan layout works very well. All double bedrooms had bathrooms in easy reach and furnishings are very new and modern . Location is good , no noise from roads. We had a lovely weekend but would not stay here again , I feel this is overpriced especially the £125 cleaning bill !

This is a beautiful house which is deceptively large - plenty of space and bathrooms and in excellent condition. It was our first AirBnB with an agency host, and it lacked that personal connection I am used to on booking. As soon as we’d done the deal we received auto requests for passports and photos to an app, along with lots of unfriendly injunctions about recouping costs if damage/noise etc etc. not the perfect first encounter, and no where near as personable as I am used to with AirBNB hosts. Not sure if this is the new standard. The house had no Wi-Fi and no mobile signal- but the bumph said high speed internet was standard in all host and stay properties. We paid £150 for cleaning but still received messages about the cleaning we needed to do before checking out. And finally- get check out time. Is it really necessary to get us out at 10am when check in isn’t before 3pm? We would have preferred a later check out on Sunday morning and felt a bit hurried out. But a beautiful house in a super spot.

We stayed at Ugglesby House between Christmas and New Year and it was such a lovely trip. The house was very new with beautiful decor and modern kitchen and bathrooms. It was spotless on our arrival and the communication from Host & Stay was excellent throughout the trip; answering any questions we had and even making suggestions for local dog-friendly pubs! The location was idyllic, beautiful scenary and walks on our doorstep and close proximity to Whitby and the coast. We highly recommend The Plough pub at the neighbouring village Sleights and White Rose Taxis in Whitby, both of which were happy to accommodate our dog!
