Hinderwell is a small, lively village close to the fishing villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay. Hinderwell was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hildrewell, a derivation of Hilda's Well, named for the Abbess of Whitby who was travelling through the parish in a drought and was asked to intercede. Her prayers were answered when a spring appeared near the sight of the present Parish Church, and this spring has continued to flow from the hillside to this day. The village is ideally situated for exploring the beautiful countryside, and walks, cycle ways, gliding, horse riding and fishing are all well catered for in the area. Whitby is seven miles away and the town has a rich and varied heritage waiting to be discovered. Thi

Heather
We loved its close proximity to Runswick Bay and the Cleveland Way although it was so windy we didnât explore as much as we could have! The property is very tastefully furnished with the added touch of Christmas decorations which was well appreciated. We found the beds and lounge very comfortable for the 4 of us. Parking was no problem in the space outside with our estate car. We liked the games selection although there was no game board in the Articulate box. As the owner says in the guest book- the hot water is extremely hot and I wonder whether mixer taps would be useful for safety? The kitchen was very cold. There was an overhead heater but no batteries in the control to turn it on but this is easily remedied. We had everything we needed for self catering in the kitchen. Overall we loved our stay and hopefully will be back again

Well equipped kitchen. One shower room was rather small and beds would have been better as king size rather than double. Lovely open fire and sufficient seating in lounge. Ideally located between two pubs (both doing food and cask ales) with a chip shop and butchers opposite. Not far from picturesque Runswick Bay and accessible for Staithes and Saltburn on Sea.

Plenty of space for 6 people to get along without getting on top of each other. Our bed was super comfortable. Large room and having ensuite shower - lovely. Superb kitchen and dining room, lots of books and games available. My only 3 observations are - that lounge is so very dark even in daylight hours, perhaps a couple of walls in a lighter colour. Secondly instructions for the cooker. Found it a bit confusing to use but that's not the end of the world. Freezer a bit knackered
