Top Staithes Hotel Reviews

The Spa Hotel

8/10 Good

"Upstairs balcony was booked out Shame cos that was the hook to get us there But was ok in the end"

Grand Villa Heights

8/10 Good

"The staff were fantastic and the location is stunning, with a beautiful view overlooking the bay below. The room was also very clean and the bed was extremely comfy. I would be aware that some of the rooms are not yet renovated, neither are the common spaces on the second and third floors so the photos don't always reflect the actual rooms. Hopefully when the renovations are complete, the rooms will all reflect the price."
