We had a fantastic week at Castleton House. It was our first time stay in Staithes and we enjoyed the setting of the house and the village itself. The view from the upstairs window was wonderful and a great place to have a coffee and watch the sea at any time of day.The house is comfy and we had a fire most nights. The storage heaters do a good job but you need the fire for the evenings in cold weather.The phone call from the owners before we went gave us all the info we needed about arriving, unpacking and where to park etc. The parking permit is a great thing for the car park at the top. Loved the history file about the house and village.

Lovely old fisherman’s cottage, with views overlooking the bay from the top floor. We found the cottage and local area to be dog friendly.
