Blossom Apartment works well for small families or couples after a town-centre base. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom flat occupies the first floor of a Grade II listed property on Yarm high street and sleeps four: there's a double bed in the bedroom, and a sofa bed (suitable for children) in the open-plan living area. The kitchen has an electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer; a wine cooler sits alongside. The bathroom has a bath and walk-in shower. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels come as standard, and a travel cot and highchair are available if needed.
Being on the high street means restaurants, bars and shops are a short walk away. The River Tees and Lovers Walk—a historic riverside path through Yarm—are within easy reach for quieter outings. Off-road parking for one car is available in a communal courtyard. The North York Moors National Park is accessible for day trips. No smoking is permitted inside the apartment.

What guests say
We enjoyed a wonderful break at Buttercup Cottage. The cottage has everything we needed and felt spacious and light. It was immaculate and the kitchen was fully equipped. Located just off Yarm high street, it's the best of both worlds. Quiet and secluded position, but with just a few steps onto the high street filled with great restaurants, bars and independent shops. We look forward to returning in the future.

Dear Gareth in Italy we say dishonesty never pays, and you in fact are a scammer. We booked the Lotus apartment with you in November and you pretended to be paid 800£ by BACS in advance refusing to be paid by credit card. We booked the apartment for 5 nights while we were staying in Yarm to visit family over the Christmas holidays. You very well knew that we would come from Italy to visit our family and you very well knew we are honest people, not like you! On Saturday you contacted my sister who lives in Yarm in the morning stating that the apartment was getting tidied up so possibly it could had been a bit later than agreed before it was ready for us. Then in the afternoon you asked for an extra hour and finally at 6.30 you sent codes to access the property, at which point we were in my sister’s house having tea. Just to clarify on your website you state that check in is available from 3pm. Well that was not the case for us after a long tiring journey from Italy. In hindsight we think you did all of that on purpose to avoid showing in person the mess you reserved for us. It is not possible to rent a house that still smells of paint, is not yet ready to be let , with no heating and with a bathroom that doesn’t work and has just been tiled and hasn’t even been finished! There were exposed electrical wires coming out of the walls! I am not sure you know anything about health and safety laws. The shower was missing the head and the mixer. The bath could not be used as the drain was flooding on the floor. There was no toilet paper and our bath towels were abandoned on the floor that was covered in grout. How do you think people can stay there? From my point of you not even animals could be stabled in such a mess. How do you think we were going to have a shower during our 5 days stay there? Talking about the rest: wardrobes were not put together yet and the refrigerator was off and with shelves and instructions to unpack inside. You left our towels thrown on the table and on the floor as a welcome! The heating was not working either, and radiators had their valves left on the floor next to them. After a very miserable first night there we had to move out and book another accommodation that we obviously had to pay . You didn’t answer our calls and did not reply to our messages , the way you handled this was disgraceful and shocking and you ruined our Christmas. You disappeared like a thief with our money without giving any explanation! Is this the way you usually welcome your guests or was it a special treatment just for us? You are a disgrace in a lovely town like Yarm and everyone must know about it and be careful about coming to your apartments.

Apartment is an unfinished building site, bath empties onto floor, shower not fully fitted so is unusable, toilet doesn’t flush, taps on sink spin round and leak under sink, unfinished tiling, no blind at bathroom window or on any windows, electrical wires hanging out of ceilings including bathroom, none of the radiators worked and leaking, tv unusable, no washing machine as stated, stairs uneven and dangerous, only seating and crockery for 4 people to eat (6 person let), only utensils in kitchen 2 large spoons, windows don’t have latches so can’t be fully closed. Was told we would get a full refund which has not been honoured. Gareth the host stated a refund was contingent on us giving a positive review

My boss’s family came here to enjoy their holiday in Yarm; however, they had problems with the Ridley House apartment. The maintenance of this apartment is horrible, and when someone does come, the repairs are half-done or ineffective, which I find concerning. I do not recommend anyone go to this apartment in Yarm, as there are better ones. Also, the worst thing about it is that the management is unresponsive and unprofessional, making it difficult to get any issues addressed. Additionally, the heating system is unreliable; it’s either freezing or unbearably hot.
