The following are a selection of pictures taken by ourselves and guests showing the area and the inside of the cottage. We want the cottage to be a home from home and as regular visitors ourselves, we know what is needed to be comfortable, such as plenty of glasses and plates. However, we are always looking for ideas to make it even better, so please let us know what you think is missing
View down into Staithes harbour
The cottage is accessed down a short path from the parking area, shared with the immediate neighbour
South-facing lawn and seating area
Living room, with sofa and two armchairs and an open fire
In common with many of the former fisherman’s cottages in Staithes, it is best described as cosy. Although comfortable for 4 adults, there is seating for 5 and there are six beds in three bedrooms to allow for some flexibility in sleeping arrangements.
There is a door leading from the garden directly into the living room which is itself open plan with the kitchen and dining area.
There is a large open-fire place for winter evenings
Steep stairs lead up to a single and a double bedroom on the first floor and more stairs take you up to a large room with three further beds and a bathroom.
Kitchen linked to living / dining area
First floor double room
First floor single room
Bathroom on top floor. There is an electric shower over the bath.
Second floor twin/triple room
In addition to the twin beds, there is a 3/4 length third bed which as also double as a day lounger. There is a DVD player and ‘retro’ X-Box with small number of games.
Lawn and patio area. A portable BBC and outdoor furniture are provided
In the lockable outhouse, there is a washing machine, tumble drier, toilet and sink. Very rare we get snow in the garden, but the hills inland are often white in winter
View looking down the Cleveland Way into the village. Cliff Cottage is on the left and the parking area is just visible
The dark sky and northerly view make it possible to see the Northern Lights when the conditions are right.
