Wonderful cosy cottage, perfect for lovely retreat.
Wonderful cosy cottage, perfect for lovely retreat. Accommodation was pristine, liked the fact there was a smart TV channels for hunkering down in the evening. Been coming to Staithes for years and will definitely be using this cottage again.

A really cosy cottage in an excellent location.
A really cosy cottage in an excellent location. We have had a lovely time. The cottage is very well equipped. Lovely clean bathroom and kitchen. Would certainly recommend.The only observation that I would make and it is only a minor issue - the saucepans and frying pans are a little tired and could be replaced and a new wooden spoon wouldn't hurt.

Fabulous cottage, even better than the pictures.
Fabulous cottage, even better than the pictures. Will return
This is a great location, with great pubs and fantastic views right on the door step. Do be aware that if you have mobility issues it could be a problem with quite a substantial climb up to get your car. If you're fairly fit and healthy not a problem.
