The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an rnli lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.

Property was easy to find, the location was great as long as you're prepared to walk a very short amount between the car drop off + the house (which we were), it was spacious + cosy & it was lovely to have the fireplace options in 2 rooms & the house was very clean. They specified there's very few amenities but we were still surprised there wasn't enough loo roll + no handsoap available. Ideally there would also have been shower gel + a couple of logs available for the fire.

During our first evening I found that many of the cooking utensils I needed to use were dirty and so I had to wash them. The kitchen table and place mats were noticeable dirty and again I had to clean both before we ate. Bathrooms, bedrooms and lounge were all fine. The only other problem we had was the shower. It wasn't until our second day (new years eve) when we all wanted to use the shower we found that the hot water was very limited resulting only 1 of our party having a hot shower during our stay. We followed all the instructions to ensure hot water was turned on. We didn't report this as I'm not sure anything could have been done over new year. In the property portfolio it read that fire wood was provided. Unfortunately this was not the case

It's a great location and well equipped. We were able to cook some meals and enjoy the log fire. All so relaxing that we didn't want to leave!
