The cottage's location is frequently praised for being perfect, with its proximity to Staithes, the Cleveland Way, and local attractions like Runswick Bay, making it an ideal base for exploring.

We had a wonderful stay in Tawny Owl. The cottage has everything you could ever need, plus we were left some goodies for when we arrived which was lovely! The hot tub was wonderful and much needed after lots of walking and exploring. The walk into Staithes is easy and it is a lovely little village to walk around (we recommend food and drink at the Cod & Lobster). Fabulous location with many lovely beaches, walks and nice towns close by. We will definitely return, thank you.

We love this cottage! It was our second stay at tawny owl and it is a great place to stay. We love the location, a short walk to staithes and within east reach of lots of other great places. It’s clean and cosy, and the kitchen is surprisingly well equipped. We loved the hot tub and there was plenty of space in the house for us - family of four - for a week without feeling cramped. You can hear the road from the property but it didn’t bother us.
