Guests have enjoyed the cosy atmosphere, the proximity to beautiful beaches, and the village's community spirit. The property is well-suited for couples and those with pets, offering a peaceful setting and a comfortable stay.
The cleanliness of Grimes Nook has received mixed feedback. Some guests found the property to be clean and well-maintained, while others reported issues with dampness, mould, and general cleanliness. The kitchen and bathroom were noted to be clean and well-equipped by some visitors.
The location of Grimes Nook is highly praised, being just moments away from the harbour and local pubs. The area is described as lovely and peaceful, offering good views and a close-knit village atmosphere. However, guests should be aware of the steep approaches to the property.
Comfort levels at Grimes Nook are generally satisfactory, with guests finding the sofas and bed comfortable, though some reported the mattress to be too soft or damp. The presence of a wood burner adds to the cosy ambience, but noise from other tenants and issues with dampness have affected the comfort for some.
Facilities at Grimes Nook are adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as broken furniture, windows painted shut, and a lack of instructions for the dehumidifier. The absence of Wi-Fi and mobile reception is noted, though not always negatively.
While some guests expressed a desire for a welcome pack with essentials like tea bags and milk, there is insufficient information to determine if such amenities are consistently provided or not. As such, while guests may appreciate such gestures, they are not guaranteed.
About this property
This cosy lower ground floor apartment was formed from the net store of what was once a fishermans cottage, quietly tucked away within the charming village of Staithes. Set over the lower ground floor level, this holiday home is situated below a two-storey cottage and is an ideal retreat for couples wanting to get away from it all. The open plan living area with exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and a warming woodburning stove creates the perfect space to snuggle around on cooler evenings! With a pretty double bedroom and spacious shower room, Grimes Nook provides traditional, comfortable accommodation. Outside is a small front patio with bench where you can sit with a morning cup of coffee, whilst soaking up the atmosphere in this quaint, historic village. A two minute walk brings you to local inns, tea rooms and village shops, whilst the harbour and beach are just a stone's throw away. Wander around the narrow, cobbled streets and alleyways, or enjoy an invigorating walk along the cliffs to nearby Runswick Bay. A little further up the coast you will find the old spa town of Saltburn, with its elegant architecture and lovely sandy beach, whilst the vibrant port of Whitby offers excellent restaurants, independent shops and ancient abbey. With both the stunning North York Moors and the coast to discover, Grimes Nook can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Note: This property is situated below Ref. 933838, together they sleep 6 people.
The seaside village of Staithes offers cobbled streets and back alleys, pretty houses, harbour, sandy beach, pubs, shops and tea rooms. The Cleveland Way is well worth exploring, whilst the larger resports of Whitby and Scarborough are nearby.

The bed was comfortable and I was very happy to have an ironing board and iron available as clothes do get creased in a suitcase. The cleanliness was not of a high standard but was OK. I am extremely houseproud so my standard is exceptionally high. We will definitely use Sykes Cottages again.
