On entering the cottage we found it to be very warm and welcoming and we loved the quirkiness of the layout. The living room is on the top floor which gives a lovely view of the harbour. The double bedroom which is on the first floor also has the view of the harbour. The cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. We would highly recommend Anchor Cottage.

Beautiful quirky cottage that is well equipped with everything you’d need. The location is perfect and the property benefits from stunning sea views which was one of the main reasons we chose this one.
Everything ran smoothly in terms of checking in etc and the communication with the owner was prompt and thorough.
We will certainly be back here as we love Staithes and loved this cottage.

We can highly recommend this cottage. We particularly liked the living room on the top floor with a superb view of the harbour. Access is good - for Staithes! - and there are lovely walks from the door. Read the sleeping arrangements carefully if you are more than a party of three because the second bedroom is snug. Our host was very quick to respond to our queries.

We had 3 nights here. The cottage was easily found and it was lovely and clean, just a little irk of no coffee in the cupboard, so we left some.
Take everything you think you will need on the first day as the village shops keep very short hours.
We took the car back to the main car park. The top sitting room is the star of the show with views over the harbour. The double bed was very comfy. Access to The Cleveland Way is literally at the top of the street for a wonderful walk along the clifftops. Staithes is very quiet with a couple of coffee shops, a couple of small galleries and 2 pubs. I'd certainly recommend this cottage if you want to get away from it all.

The property was in a great location with sea views from the bedroom and living room. Lots of stairs as bathroom is on the bottom floor and living room at the top so not good for anyone with limited mobility. Overall a good base to explore Staithes and be comfortable. Great that it is dog friendly, there were no traces of other dogs having being there.
What could be better? A little tired in places, and in March I think logs for the fire should be included in the price of the property, they are there but you have to replace at your own cost. Towels could also be provided along with a few basics such as a small milk in the fridge.

Wir haben die Tage im wunderschönen Cottage von Laura sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft liegt in Wasser- und Strandnähe im urigen Fischerdorf Staithes und vom Schlaf- sowie Wohnzimmer hat man einen tollen Blick auf den Hafen und das Meer. Morgens wurden wir von den Möwen geweckt, abends haben wir es genossen, am Kamin zu sitzen. Ein toller Aufenthalt in einer sehr schönen und gepflegten Unterkunft. Danke.

A beautiful and homely feeling to this special cottage, wonderful having breakfast watching the harbour, the boats, so peaceful. The views from the sitting room are stunning, the sunsets and sunrises :-). A truly delight, a place to relax, restore and unwind.

Zeer complete, sfeervolle en authentieke woning. Fantastisch uitzicht, heerlijke bedden en uitstekende badkamer. Gezellige pub met ruime keuze om de hoek, tearoom met uitstekend ontbijt, koffie en traditionele cakes op loopafstand. Vele wandelroutes te starten vanuit het huis.

Quaint cottage with top floor cosy lounge to enjoy views. Location is perfect for enjoying Staithes. Note like lots of properties in Staithes your car will need to be parked at the top of the village after dropping off luggage and it’s a steep walk up and down however some pretty amazing views to enjoy on your journey to and from car.

We booked this at very short notice. Communications with Laura were quick, friendly and informative. The property was very clean, comfortable and having the living room on the top floor was marvellous for views of the harbour, Altho all the windows faced the harbour and we felt the house was in a really excellent piosition. Staithes is just gorgeous! We will come back to Anchor cottage and have no hesitancy in recommending it to all but those who cannot access stairs. We loved it.

One of the best holidays we’ve had. Staithes is so beautiful, and the cottage is cozy and welcoming, tucked away yet central to everything. All the hillsides and stairs certainly got me in shape as well!

This property was perfect for our family staycation, every aspect was extremely comfortable and homely, the kids also loved it and didn't want to leave after our weeks stay, close to all amenities - beach, restaurants / pubs and shops. It was our first time visiting staithes also, the village and people, both workers, locals and holiday makers were all extremely friendly and welcoming, will 100% return to staithes and this property, highly recommend this property to all! Management was also extremely helpful from start to finish, cannot fault anything about our stay. Thank you for having us x
