Saltburn itself is stunning, with a glorious, long sandy beach, a pier, and lots of quirky bars, restaurants and independent shops. Take in the views on a stroll along the promenade and at the top of the cliff, you can travel in style to both the promenade and the pier by using the oldest operating water-balance cliff lift in the country! Saltburn is a surfer’s paradise and no matter what the season, you will see figures out at sea riding the waves. Nearby, you will find a local surf school where you can have lessons and hire equipment so you can join in the fun.
A popular inn along the beach is still famous for its link to pirates and smugglers, and you can get a feel for this as you walk the beach and admire the cliffs that surround the bay. Along the Heritage Coastline there are beautiful beaches, picturesque villages and wonderful scenic walks. Staithes, Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay are all just a short drive away, and for keen walkers, you can follow the Cleveland Way along the cliff tops.

Beautiful apartment in a location that was convenient for all needs. Plenty of options for cafes, bars and even a supermarket within a short walk.

A unique place to stay, if literally crumbling around the edges. The enormous windows provide great views out to sea and the cliffs, but closing the curtains is tricky! The apartment was nice and clean and has a great kitchen. The terrace is not as peaceful as in the 1860s, as the road outside is busy. Seeing the DVD of Coast featuring the history of the building was very interesting. The back entrance now has a lock so the fob did not work, so you can get out but not back in again.

Quirky flat in a great location. Beautiful views, close location to local shops and very handy to have a private parking space in the car park. Downside is some things are a bit dated and the flat could really do with a really good clean.
