  We really enjoyed our stay at Salmon Cottage!

  Nestled away in the sleepy seaside village of Staithes, this spacious and well appointed property features lots of levels and stairs, a deep sense of calm and quiet and a relaxing warm welcome from its cosy kitchen, comfy sitting room, spacious bedrooms and wonderful (recently refurbished?) bathrooms. The property was clean and tidy when we arrived, and the instructions given by Sykes to access the keys were accurate and straightforward. There was a welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival which was nice - perhaps some long life milk might have helped too - we arrived late without basic provisions, and there wasn't a shop close by to purchase the essentials (milk, bread, butter etc). Salmon Cottage is well appointed and good quality towels and bed linen made for a pleasant stay. The beds were well made and very comfortable, making it a pleasure to go to bed, and easy to lie in for a rest in the mornings. The bathrooms on the first floor are very nicely finished, with a massive walk in shower in the en-suite and a dinky but big enough for 2 bath and shower in the family bathroom on the same level. The kitchen was a pleasure to be in, well equipped and a lovely big range style cooker. The long wooden table was ideal for family meals and conversations about the day's events over dinner. We enjoyed our short stay - Staithes is lovely (even the seagulls were charming in the end) although a little hollowed out by holiday lets ;) We spent money in all of the local establishments, including a souvenir from Staithes Gallery, so hopefully have contributed something to the local economy. I think it would be an interesting place in winter, although I wonder what Salmon Cottage might be like when the wind picks up. That said, it would be very cosy with a fire in the wood-burner, and very romantic to be tucked up in bed with the wind howling around, especially as the walls are thick and there is double glazing to most (if not all) windows. We would certainly recommend Salmon Cottage for family groups - it is very nicely located in the village, and very easy to get to. The beach at Staithes is small, but suitable for all ages and accessible for most. There is a sense of history around the place and the little pockets of endeavour make it interesting (e.g. fudge shop, galleries, places to eat and drink, the fact it is a working port). From Staithes you are but a stone's throw from Whitby (10 minutes in the car, or 20 by X4 bus from the top of the hill) and Robins Hood Bay isn't far. For us, perhaps the best thing was the way in which time slowed down and we were able to catch our breath and relax, even with the caw-caw of the gull population entertaining us (it is the sea-side I suppose!). We came away feeling very refreshed and happy to have stayed somewhere so nice - that says it all! All credit to the owner (Sara) for setting it up so well. Thank you for your hospitality, which we will certainly recommend to friends and family.

  What an absolutely fantastic home and location!

  This home was beautifully decorated and kept uptodate. The house was spotless with modern furnishings and decor. The kitchen was fully equipped (there was even a dishwasher!) Abd the hosts left us some nice treats, thank you. It was very soacious and the children especially loved the garden space and book nook! Thank you for the games and wonderful books, this kept our kids occupied whilst we were in the house. Staithes is an absolute gem of a fishing village and this home was perfectly situated, allowing us to make casual walks down into the harbour/beach/rockpools, I highly recommend it. There is also a coop aroumd the corner. We visited beautiful beaches and villages nearby such as Saltburn, Runswick bay, Goathland and then a trip to Dalby Forest on the way home as it was alog the way. We appreciated the parking permit and free parking around the corner- there was a little difficulty on arrival as there was no space available despite having the permit so we had to walk back and forth a lot frol a nearby street with luggage until someone drove away. Overall I highly recommend staying here and in larticular visiting Staithes. Look forward to visiting again.

  For 3 adults and 2 teen boys this was a beautiful property that serves as a great base for visiting nearby coastal towns. One neighbour was very welcoming, another not so much. The local beach is not accessible. Although it’s close, the very steep stairs to it are being upgraded and are blocked off. The parking is not suitable for suv or large cars. We had to get out of the car before being parked to allow for a very tight squeeze into the space. We visited lots of nearby towns and historical sites, wonderful if you are an English Heritage member. The shower is really great, and the beds were comfy. The hob and oven were lovely to use and thank goodness for the dishwasher. It gets very breezy at the rear of the property - something to be aware of if you need/want the windows open. The fish and chip shop in Hinderwell was great. If you want to eat in the nearest pub I recommend booking. The second pub wasn’t as pleasant inside, although the barman was lovely. Overall a good base, but parking made it awkward.

  We had a comfortable few days stay at Faran House.

  What a lovely freshly decorated/renovated property, it was a real pleasure to stay here. I was worried about the no dogs upstairs policy initially, as our dog is used to roaming the whole house at home, but i was pleased to see a ‘dog stopper’ on the stairs upon arrival to make life easier… even if the dog wasn't a fan! There was an enclosed back garden which is great for children and dogs and the neighbours are really pleasant. Great location for Staithes with only a 10-15 minute walk to the beautiful harbour. A highly recommend fish shop on the door step, a Co-op around the corner for essentials and free off road parking at the owners property also around the corner, this was super handy and very much appreciated! This is a great base for discovering the North Yorks coast, so many beaches only a short drive away in either direction! Highly recommend :)

  We loved this cosy house.

  Everything was so clean and smelt lovely as you walked in. There was plenty of information about parking etc and a welcome pack included red wine & delicious biscuits. There were even blankets on the sofa to cuddle up with if we felt chilly. The Halloween decorations went down a tear with our girls and it took only 5 mins to walk to the beach. We frequently book mini breaks at the coast and this was up there with our favourites. There would only be one other property that would beat this one and that one was nearly double the price. Great value for money. We left a couple of items behind and the lady owner very kindly offered to post. Thank you. We would highly recommend.
