Staithes is within the North York Moors National Park so stunning scenery and traditional Yorkshire villages are in abundance. The village has a good local pub serving food, as well as a shop for essentials. Staithes is a great place for fossil hunting and in the summer you see many children enjoying searching the rock pools and crevices for these fossils. The village is like stepping back in time with its cobbled streets and quaint, quirky cottages that lead down to the harbour where you can sit and enjoy a drink with the locals at the pub. Staithes has now become a great artists retreat with an excellent art festival held every year.
The property is perfect for those walkers amongst you as you can walk along the clifftops following the trail to Whitby and further on the Robin Hood’s Bay and Ravenscar. The town of Whitby is just 8 miles away and is one of the most visited fishing towns on the coast, famous for the abbey being the inspiration to Bram Stoker’s book ’Dracula’.

Lovely holiday at Felicity House. Really well located within Staithes. Parking space is a bonus as no parking within the old part of Staithes. Cottage is really comfortable and homely. Spacious too. The bathroom and en suite have been recently refurbished and are very nice. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

We loved our stay at Felicity House, the photos didn't do it justice. A lovely, light house with sea views from the lounge, bedrooms and the bench out the front. We loved sitting there and watching the world go by. Can't wait to go back!
