Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage receives consistent commendation for its spotless condition and cleanliness, with multiple guests highlighting this aspect positively.

The location is generally well-regarded for its quiet, semi-rural setting with easy access to nearby towns and villages, although a few guests were disappointed with the views and garden not matching their expectations.

Comfort is frequently mentioned with guests finding the cottage cosy and well-furnished, though a few noted the pillows and seating could be improved.

Facilities are considered to be very good, with the cottage being well-equipped. However, some guests suggested minor improvements such as better Wi-Fi, a non-stick frying pan, and addressing noisy floorboards.

While guests frequently mention and appreciate the welcome pack and the helpfulness of the owners, as gifts are not guaranteed and there is no explicit mention of them being a standard offering, a score cannot be provided.

About this property

Hayloft Cottage is a pretty stone cottage, imaginatively converted from a former farm building, on the owner’s smallholding in Staintondale, set in the heart of the stunning North York Moors.

Restored, decorated and furnished to a high standard, this lovely Staintondale cottage is well equipped and offers well-presented accommodation perfect for a family holiday or romantic break.

There is an open-plan living area, the perfect zone to get together to relax and enjoy quality time. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for enjoying a home-cooked meal if you want to have a night off from sampling the tasty fare at the local country pubs. There are leather sofas, a lovely electric woodburning-effect stove, a dining area, TV/DVD and CD player along with a selection of books and games to help you unwind.

Upstairs both bedrooms ooze charm and character with pitched roofs, exposed wooden beams and boarded wooden doors with traditional-style door furniture. The double and twin bedrooms have inviting beds and crisp white bed linen to help ensure an enjoyable stay.

Outside this Staintondale cottage, there is a private courtyard area at the rear with patio furniture and characterful, traditional stone walling; a lovely spot to sit and relax. At the front of the cottage, there is ample parking and sea views from the courtyard, making the ideal space to enjoy your morning cup of tea or coffee.

Enjoy the peace and tranquillity and take a walk along the many public footpaths accessible directly from the cottage and explore the stunning views of Staintondale with its picturesque countryside, forestry and coastal location. Visit the beaches, coves and beautiful local villages like Robin Hoods Bay or head down the cliff path at Ravenscar to see the large colony of seals, a wonderful way to view local wildlife in its natural habitat.

Drive to Whitby to view the bustling harbour and Whitby Abbey or head to Scarborough for the sweeping sandy beaches and interesting Sea Life Centre, there are so many options to keep you entertained.

This Staintondale cottage is ideally placed, half way between Whitby and Scarborough set in a tranquil rural location, and is wonderful for all year round breaks.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1211 and Ref. 4601 to accommodate 9 people.

Located on the North Yorkshire Moors and only half a mile from the coast is the pretty village of Staintondale. Set midway between the fishing town of Whitby - with its famous Abbey - and the spa town of Scarborough - with its theatres and promenade entertainment - this peaceful little village offers the best of both worlds. There's a network of footpaths and bridleways that run through the village, leading into the glorious countryside beyond. This really is a wonderful location with plenty to see for the whole family.

    For those interested in a peaceful getaway with loads of walking opportunities, look no further. The cottage was well kitted out with equipment, including free WiFi, a washer/dryer and espresso machine, to make a few of the many… Owner was superb and the booklet she leaves takes you through how to use everything in the property, local area, and attractions as well as walks
