The lodge's location is appreciated for its peacefulness, proximity to local attractions, and accessibility to public transport, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area.

The lodge receives praise for its comfortable beds and private setting. However, one guest mentioned the bed being too short and the mattress too soft, which slightly affects the comfort score.

A delight for artists, Staithes is a quaint, peaceful seaside town with cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways. A secluded sandy beach is nestled among the rocky shoreline, and the town's charming homes and cottages are grouped around the historic harbour and bordered by high, jagged cliffs on three sides. The community can claim ties to Captain Cook, who served as an apprentice to a draper close to the harbour. Today, Staithes, which boasts a decent selection of pubs, shops, and tea rooms, is a must-see for anyone travelling to the Yorkshire Coast. There is still an rnli lifeboat station in Staithes, along with a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) that land fish, crab, and lobster. Boat trips are also offered for fishing, birdwatching, and even whale watching. Old Jack's Boat, a well-liked BBC children's television programme, is also filmed there. With an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries, and artist studios that frequently provide art classes and seminars, Staithes has a strong draw for artists. The network of ginnels (alleyways) is navigated by the free Illusion Trail, which also offers local trail guides. The Cleveland Way, which descends the cliff to the sea's edge, offers the best views of the town. All in all, a great starting point for touring the Yorkshire Coast, going to Whitby or Scarborough, or taking in the moorland settlements of the North York Moors National Park.

    Clean. Everything was as it should be. Great location too.

  • Anthony

    The lodge itself and surrounding area was immaculate and has obviously been well looked after and maintained. The location is beautiful with the lodge situated in a little culdesac with a few other lodges, it all felt very private. The internet was also very good and plenty fast enough to stream to the provided smart TV for those rainy nights. There is a dog friendly beach, and pub within a 5-10 min walk and everything else is easily reachable driving or catching the regular busses. There is a stop right next to the lodge park, we used the dog friendly bus to visit Whitby, they run every 30 mins and it's a 20 ride. Thoroughly recommend.

    Clean and kitchen fully equipped with most utensils. Would take my own towels next time, they were provided but my preference would be the larger bath sheets rather than small towels for after shower. The bed was too short, we’re not tall people so anyone over 5’9 would struggle with feet hanging off the end and mattress far too soft, pillows were good though. Hot tub was lovely. No fault of anyone and possibly weather related but the surrounding grass area was so swampy and muddy, retaining water. So taking my dog out to the toilet was a messy business each time. Overall, pleasant stay.
