About this property

Cosy Cottage in Staithes. North Yorkshire Moors Coast. Weekend Breaks Available

Set right in the heart of the old smuggling & fishing village of Staithes on the beautiful North Yorkshire moors coast. Located just yards from the sea and the beach is this cosy & pet friendly 300 year old small cottage that sleeps 4. Located just a few yards from the nearest pub that serves lovely food. If you prefer a night in then why not enjoy a lovely candlelit bath and a glass of wine whilst enjoying a real log fire! There is lots to keep the kids entertained in the village with the rock pools full of crabs to the small sandy beach for playing & dog walking. Inside the cottage is a selection of games & toys for the kids along with a good choice of DVD's for both the kids & adults too. Free Wifi is also provided in the cottage along with a selection of books & maps to enable you to discover the beautiful North Yorkshire moors and coastline at your leisure.
The master bedroom has a double bed and the 2nd bedroom has a single with pull out single bed. A travel cot & highchair are also available at no extra cost. The cottage has a secure enclosed back yard ideal for pets and storing bikes and canoes etc. The cottage has a bath with shower over however due to height restrictions in the bathroom it's only really suitable for kneeling or sitting under! There is a fully stocked kitchen with electric cooker & microwave and everything you would expect to find.
Ideally situated for exploring the Beautiful Yorkshire coastline by car or on foot. Excellent bus service to nearby Whitby and Middlesbrough and just a short drive to lovely Saltburn by the Sea.

All your Bedding for both bedrooms including Sheets, Pillowcases and towels are provided and the beds will be ready made for your arrival.

There is no public parking in Staithes unfortunately. The floodlit council owned pay and display car park is just at the top of the hill a few minutes walk away however you are allowed to drive down to load and unload the car and there is a space just a few yards from the cottage where you can park up to do this. There is a car park permit for this car park provided free of charge for you and this will be on the dining room table upon arrival. Please display it on your dashboard during your stay and ensure that you park your car in the designated public area of the car park and not in the residents section. Please then leave the permit back at the cottage for the next guests when you leave.

The cottage keys will be provided for your arrival and details of where to obtain these will be emailed.
You can arrive anytime after 3.00PM and if you could vacate by 10.00 AM that would be great. (please advise if either of these times cause you an issue) The post code if you are using a Sat Nav is TS13 5DF. The cottage is right down at the bottom of the village on Barrass Square which is just a few yards from the Cod & Lobster pub. If you have any other questions at all regarding the village or the cottage then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Fantastic hosts and fab little cosy comfortable cottage, just a few steps from the harbour. Chris & Sarah were very friendly and helpful. The cottage has a lovely seaside theme running throughout and contains everything - and more you could wish for. It also has a very spacious outside area from where ... at a stretch ... you can spy the sea. I wanted to stay longer but sadly (for me) it was booked up. We're planning our next visit asap!!

Ideal position

Very small traditional fisherman's cottage. Ok for a couple of days we stayed longer but found the kitchen and bathroom awkward. The staircase doesn't have a bannister which could be an issue for people with mobility issues. Like all Staithes houses the stairs are steep. The cutlery, crockery and glasses were plentiful but the space to cook in is a struggle even for two people and it was a bit of a balancing act. There was more room upstairs but we found the bed uncomfortable and the pillows definitely need replacing. We didn't like the position of the bathroom in the sitting room. I hadn't noticed it stated in the property discription, otherwise I wouldn't have booked it. The yard isn't secure for dogs and wasn't nice to sit in. Being so close to the harbour this didn't matter to much but it was quite disappointing. It really could do with some money investing in it and some TLC. The carpets have seen better days, they are dark and difficult to hoover. This is evident all around the edges. All in all it would be ok for a couple of days, but I wouldn't book it again as there are some wonderful properties in the village where we have stayed before. The owners responded to questions quickly.

A two week stay

We have stayed at this property before and found it cosy and met most of our needs close to the harbour area. The kitchen is a bit small but has all the basic appliance's. Hot water pressure is lacking but water hot. The bathroom is functional but small. We had a problem with the shower which stopped working after the first week, it was reported but couldn't be fixed within our stay. Also the hot water basin tap sometimes was very difficult to turn off. Other than that a quiet area to stay at the bottom of the hill.

beautiful cottage at Staithes

The cottage was really nice, everything was clean, the double bed was very comfortable, there was everything that you could need really, just around the corner from the sea and the Cod and Lobster pub do lovely food at good prices. The only disappointing aspect but quite a big thing is that the cottage is advertised as having a log burner in the lounge, which it has got but unfortunately there was a note on it saying you couldn't use it something about the chimney, which was very disappointing as we were really looking forward to that and as we went in the middle of November we really needed the log burner to be working as there were electric radiators but they dry you out and make your nose sore and as soon as you switch them off it goes cold, so basically if you are planning a winter stay it's very cold without the log burner. I think it should be in the advertisement for the cottage that the log burner isn't allowed to be used as if we knew that the log burner wasn't working then I wouldn't have booked this cottage. It's a really shame as other than that it's a lovely cottage .

Lovely, small, cosy, good location, well provisioned, appliances work with no problems. Could be clearer in terms of bin use, heating and possible issues with cliff top car park where there are 3 car parks, one of which does not accept pass provided.

Great location

Perfectly placed cottage, great access to the harbour/beach and easy reach of car park, parking permit was a nice touch. Really enjoyed sitting in the sun at the front and watching the day go by! Planters full of lovely flowers. We really struggled to seat three at the table as there were only two chairs and the table was too unstable when open due to apparent missing leg which made mealtimes difficult. We were self catering all week with the current restrictions and the kitchen was really well equipped. Very disappointed we couldn’t use the log burner for safety reasons. But very happy with the COVID safe arrangements for cleaning.

Cosy little cottage in a great location.

Great little cottage that's fully equipped with nearly everything you need. Games & toys, dvds and books. The all important crabbing lines and nets. In a great location just off the cobbled street and a very short walk to the beach, pubs etc. Great setting for long walks and water based activities.

Lovely cottage in the perfect location.

From booking to checking out, we can not fault our stay at Kildale. The cottage itself is great, well appointed and situated right in the heart of the village. We had a fabulous week swimming, building sandcastles, rock pooling, crabbing, exploring the many little alleys, nooks and crannies of Staithes and enjoying the slower pace of life. We ate in and had takeaways from The Cod and Lobster, both were excellent. Cobbles Pizzas are also highly recommended (Spanish being a firm favourite!) along with everything and everything from the butcher's ; fresh sausage rolls, pork and apple pie and divine sausages ❤️ Be sure to find time to pop in to Dotty's for scones, cake, cream tea or fab bacon butties. You won't be disappointed. All in all a perfect family week. We can't wait to get back.x
