About this property
Staithes 2.4 miles. This sumptuously-decorated, detached lodge of No 27 The Crab Pot rests in Runswick Bay near Staithes, North Yorkshire. A fabulous base for a family of six's seaside break, not only does The Crab Pot enjoy access to the east coast of the North York Moors National Park but is within reach of the iconic locations of Scarborough and Whitby. Upon entering the lodge, you'll be immediately dazzled by the contemporary and sleek décor in the open-plan living space. Kick back and unwind on one of the plush sofas in front of the toasty electric fire and TV, while floor-length windows flood the space with natural light. Continue to the fantastically-fitted kitchen, where shaker-style cabinets enjoy sleek, wooden worktops and offer a wealth of integrated appliances, including a built-in microwave and a large fridge/freezer. When a delectable meal has been prepared, enjoy it at the stylish breakfast bar, with its cowhide stools, at the dining table with the whole family, or in the warmer months, out on the decking. At the end of the day, retire to one of the three tastefully furnished bedrooms, the first being the master with a double and an en-suite shower room, along with a lovely twin and a family room featuring a bunk bed and a single bed. The family bathroom isn't far and is a contemporary space boasting a spacious bath with rainfall shower over. Spend some time in the village of Runswick Bay, where a friendly pub, along with a gorgeous beach await, as well as access via The Cleveland Way to the larger bay, where Kettleness Beach can be found.

Choose The Crab Pot for your next Yorkshire adventure.
With its cobblestone streets and back lanes, the picturesque and peaceful coastal village of Staithes is somewhat of an artist's dream. Its charming buildings and cottages are grouped around the historic harbour, which is flanked on three sides by high jagged cliffs, with a secluded sandy beach nestled among the rocky shoreline. The Cleveland Way, which descends down the cliff to the sea's edge, offers the greatest views of the town.

Very bright mornings and very hot. Also the en suite smells damp and of drains luckily the window opened in here. The water pressure in showers is very poor. We stayed last year and were disappointed that the decking furniture has been changed for much smaller ones and there are not enough seats. Otherwise a gorgeous lodge just would benefit from a few improvements to be more comfortable. Thank you.

The layout worked well for our family and our daughter especially loved the bunks. Set in a peaceful setting, we enjoyed the quiet that it offered. However, the rattan furniture is not as per the picture, itâs a basic set which only seats 4 despite the lodge being able to sleep 7. A identical table and chairs were being used in the lodge opposite, Iâm not sure if this was a coincidence. The bbq, despite being a Weber, was unusable due to the fact there was no handle on top of the bbq lid and inside was absolutely filthy and rusted in places due to the holes that the handle left. The oven wasnât very good and we struggled to even cook oven chips properly. It only seemed to cook well on the right hand side of the cooker. The skirting boards were falling off in places, particularly next to the fridge where they were just resting against the wall. The main issue we had though was the blinds in the main bedroom. As per a previous review, they were completely broken which meant you couldnât open the blinds nor close them properly. Unfortunately, the blinds flooded the room with light from 4am which woke our 1 year old. We had lovely weather during our stay but had to buy a fan as we couldnât access the window in the bedroom and the room was really hot. The mattress in the bedroom was spring based and we found this really uncomfortable. The remaining blinds across the lodge were also a little broken too. Unfortunately we found there to be a lack of cutlery too. Some basics like salt and pepper would have been a good addition along with some hand soap. This along with the lack of childrenâs cutlery, for the price that we paid made us feel underwhelmed. Especially when weâve been to other properties, paid less and got more for our money.

Cleaning products ie.anti bacterial spray and hand soap would be nice. Welcome pack was poor considering the price of the holiday.
