Lovely property, much bigger inside than it looks from outside. Situated perfectly near the centre.Make sure you're fit if you choose to sleep on the top floor! Two lots of steep stairs. Bedrooms really spacious and bright with comfy beds. Large kitchen with plenty of space.

We had a wonderful weeklong reunion of American and British family at Karen’s lovely house in Staithes, including comfortable accommodation of a very young baby. Everything was in proper working order, beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped for 6 guests/diners at a time. There is a Co-op Market nearby for run-out items, but as cautioned by the listing and many other guests, one must account for the extremely steep trudge up the hill to get to the car! there is courtesy street parking available outside the unit for only 20 minutes - plenty of time to unload groceries, baggage and passengers, before one lucky driver gets to head back up the hill to park and walk back down (which can be a 20 minute errand in itself). In all seriousness, this is the perfect rental for anyone that does not have knee problems; the stairways are very steep in addition to the hill. (Not the right house for forgetting your book or cell phone in the upstairs bedroom, esp. if you are in your mid 60s). The clothes washer/dryer unit was very handy, especially with a baby on site [Note: we found the control panel to be incomprehensible, but my husband uploaded an image of it to AI and we had customized instructions in a jiffy.]Do NOT miss Betsy & Bo across the street for chocolates, gourmet goodies like cheeses, breads, pastries and fancy packaged goods. Unforgettable stay!

Lovely house in great location - had everything you needed in the kitchen and property even including a colection of crabbing buckets and nets that the children loved. Staithes itself is beautiful and a real hidden gem - the house could not be in a more central location.

Summer 25

An idyllic village setting, the kids couldn’t have been happier with the distance to the harbour where they spent most of their time rock pooling and messing about in the sea. The dogs were also big fans of the fact that the property was only a stones throw away from the beach. It was a bit of a hike up the hill to park the car every day but we were made aware of that before we booked so knew what we were letting ourselves in for! A few issues with cleanliness when we first arrived (had to wash a few things up out of the cupboard, floors were not the cleanest and the top floor shower was blocked!) but overall an excellent place to holiday and would not think twice about staying here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
Upon arrival my husband immediately said “it looks rough”, as soon as we opened the front door, it became obvious the property was in an unacceptable condition. The walls, doors and ceilings throughout were dirty and looked as though they had not been decorated for a very long time. There was peeling paintwork everywhere and a strong, musty smell. As we walked through the house, the floors were sticky underfoot, from a lack of proper cleaning over an extended period and the carpets were filthy. In the kitchen, the fridge was dirty, and there was grime and dirt on all the cupboard doors. All the radiators throughout were full of dust and dirt. When we lifted the sofas to retrieve my daughter’s toys, we found old rubbish, old sweets, large amounts of dust, dirt, and hair. It was absolutely disgusting and clearly had not been cleaned for a very long time. I walked barefoot on the first day and the dirt on my feet was so bad I struggled to clean it off afterwards. The stair carpet was black with dirt and looked as though it had never been cleaned. The cottage is listed as recently refurbished - maybe 20 years ago.Exposed stonework around the broken extractor and a broken toilet seat in the main bathroom with mould and mildew in both bathrooms. Under the beds was a thick build-up of dirt and hair, clearly accumulated over many months if not years. The yard was filthy, bird waste everywhere that my husband has to clean.I would not recommend it’s filthy.

Stay in Staithes

The location of the property was perfect and we checked in fine. The house could have been a little cleaner and there were a few small issues, no light working in the ensuite bathroom (we looked at the spare bulbs - none fitted). The shower in the middle bathroom leaked over the side of the bath - we kept a towel there but maybe one to note. Other than these small issues the house was just what we needed to accommodate the family group and have a lovely holiday.

Lovely stay in Staithes

We had a great week in Staithes, the property is as described, clean and spacious. Well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. The lower terrace could do with a bit of a spruce up but the upper one is lovely and comfy and offers great views and sun of an evening, if you're lucky enough to get good weather! The dropping off and loading bay outside is great and although it can get very busy, especially on changeover days, we never had an issue and there is a quick turn over so just keep your eyes peeled. We used the Glenvale parking at the top of the road and found it friendly and easy to book. Lots of great walking from the door, rock pooling at low tide and even swimming in the if you fancy. We recommend the Fox and Hounds pub in Dalehouse - very good beer (and scones!)

Sunny Staithes

Great location in the centre of Staithes. Had some issue with parking, one area £6 per day another £10 and need to top up in time to avoid hefty fine. Lovely inside the house, modern kitchen. Although outdoor yard could do with a bit of maintenance we made the most of the sunshine and the views sitting out there until the sun went down. We walked to Runswick Bay one day and caught the bus to Whitby another, very handy. A lovely relaxing break.

Great Christmas in Staithes

House was perfect for four adults for a week at Christmas, with Christmas tree, wine and chocolates to welcome us. Warm, comfortable and spacious, apart from the living room which would be a bit of a squeeze for a larger group.

Property excellent. Parking and communication difficult.

Cleanliness, furnishings, size, cost and location are all excellent. Parking was difficult and expensive and communication mediocre with owner and difficult with HomeAway. HomeAway also bombarded me and one of my guests with an endless stream of advertising emails.

Right in the centre of the village

We had a good stay in Ravenscraig, a bit fitter? after climbing the steep stairs!! We paid to park In Glen Vale car park which saved walking all the way to the public car park and a place was assured.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location

Just back from a mini break with our 4 children, the property was perfect for us lovely and spacious and great facilities including strong WiFi, which gave the adults a little piece and quiet when needed, we did have a little issue when one of the children got locked in the toilet but only indicative of an old property with old doors and locks and a quick nip over the the Beautiful sweet shop across the road had them all smiling in no time. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and stay again.

Beautiful accommodation in wonderful Staithes.

This cottage has everything you could possibly need and is beautifully decorated. Modern enough that it caters for all of your needs but rustic enough that it oozes charm; perfect for its surroundings. Close to everything in the old village, easy walking distance to the Royal George and also the Cod and Lobster, both of which are very welcoming and accommodating pubs. You must sample the food in the Cod and Lobster if you visit. The bedrooms are incredibly spacious, we had 7 people in the house and at no point were we on top of each other. The kitchen is large and well equipped and leads into a beautiful rear garden overlooking the stream behind; the views are wonderful. We didn’t get to use the balcony due to the cold weather but I can imagine that it’s fantastic in the Summer months. We had such a lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return, we would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone, whether you are a first timer or a regular in Staithes.
