About this property
A pretty, stone semi-detached property, imaginatively converted from former farm buildings on the owners' smallholding, in the peaceful village of Staintondale, half way between Whitby and Scarborough. Sympathetically restored, this Staintondale cottage is just perfect for a romantic holiday or a small family break. This delightful Staintondale cottage oozes charm and character, with exposed timbers, boarded doors and quirky low windows. Tastefully furnished, the cosy open plan living area has a warming woodburning stove, small dining area and well-equipped kitchen, providing very comfortable accommodation. Outside this Staintondale cottage is a shared lawned area - a lovely spot to sit and relax in the sun and to take in the glorious panoramic views over open countryside, forestry and sea. Guests are welcome to explore the fields and wood and meet the friendly Shetland ponies, the Highland cows and the black sheep! With a network of public footpaths straight from the door, this wonderful location is a walker's paradise. Enjoy the many delights of the area including hidden coves and beaches, exhilarating cliff top walks and coastal villages such as Ravenscar and Robin Hood's Bay. Be sure to allow time to drive five minutes to Ravenscar, where you can walk down to the foot of the cliffs to view the seal colony - a wonderful sight, not to be missed. Ideally placed, a lovely Staintondale cottage to recharge the batteries all year round. Note: This property adjoins Ref. 1196 and together they can accommodate up to 8 people.
Staintondale is a delightful unspoilt village on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, yet only half a mile from the coast. From Staintondale, a network of footpaths and bridleways can be enjoyed from the village. A superb base from which to explore the region.

Honeybee Cottage was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had the most enjoyable stay and would love to come back.

The ceilings upstairs are quite low but this is to be expected. Very warm and cosy, the beds and sofas were also comfortable. Would suit a small family and I would recommend to family and friends.

Iâm 5.11 and I did whack my head half a dozen times in the first 24hrs, but after that Iâd gotten wise to the low bits.
