Situated at Staithes, near Whitby, these former World War I army bunkers are in an idyllic position close to the countryside and sea. Four of the barracks have been ingeniously and tastefully transformed to provide good quality accommodation retaining much rustic character and charm. The remaining four lodges retain their near original condition as a visual reminder of their former function. Each refurbished lodge has the added advantage of free parking, an outdoor sitting area and bike parking racks.

Situated just off the Cleveland Way, there are many fine moorland and cliff top walks. There is a golf course and driving range in Brotton, 6¾ miles away, and at Scaling Reservoir, 7¼ miles, there is sailing and fishing. There is a leisure centre 2 miles down the road and a 2-minute stroll down the cobbled street brings you to the centre of the picturesque fishing village with its small harbour nestling beneath rugged cliffs. Step back in time and walk the quaint narrow passages, as Captain James Cook himself must have done. Here in Staithes there are village shops, pubs, cafés and a restaurant, and in 2020 the village was featured on the BBC programme ’Gone Christmas Fishing’ with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. Why not travel on Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Express (the North Yorkshire Moors Railway) through ’Heartbeat’ country, or visit Whitby and its famous abbey which is 11 miles away.

Open planned kitchen/diner recently refurbished 2022.

    We had a lovely stay at this cottage last weekend. The place was very clean, comfortable, and well-organised, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. The atmosphere was peaceful and perfect for getting away and unwinding.The location was great, and we really enjoyed our time there. The host was also very helpful and made sure everything went smoothly.I would definitely recommend this cottage and would be happy to stay again in the future.

    We had an amazing holiday at the Captain's Quarters. The space is amazing we had 3 families, 6 kids and 6 adults. Plenty of space for everyone, the kitchen was huge and where we spent most of our time. The pool table was a bit with the kids! The beds were comfy, the place was clean and the small touches like the doughnuts and sweets left for us on arrival made us all feel right at home.Thanks you for an easy check in/out, easy communications and we simply loved our trip and the house played a huge part 🥰.

    Captains Cottage was a fabulous place to stay. It is a great location with easy acces to beautiful coastal walks & local amenities in Staithes. There is plenty of space and as a group of friends we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay which was excellent value for money. We will definitely return!
