It was so cosy sitting with the log burner on looking at the sea out of the window. We had everything we needed and the cottage was clean and had nice quality furnishings and equipment. Thank you so much. We are trying to work out when we can return in a warmer month to use the little yard outside. A lovely historic cottage in the heart of Staithes.

Great position in the old village. As we went in December it was lovely and quiet and free parking at the top of the village. Great spot for exploring the surrounding coast.
