The first floor bedroom is next to the family shower room and a double room is on the second floor with en-suite facilities. Both bedrooms benefit from fantastic sea views.
Grinkle is just 3 miles from the fishing village of Staithes with its quaint shops and has strong links to Captain Cook and his maritime history, traditional pubs serving home cooked food and a beach. The famous Cleveland Way twists and turns along the coastline dropping down into some wonderful bays and coves such as Runswick Bay and Robin Hoods Bay and there are plenty of cycle routes across the area and a cycle hire shop in nearby Saltburn-by-the-Sea. The bustling town of Whitby is a short drive away with its myriad of shops, pubs and restaurants. Famous for its abbey and links to Bram Stoker’s Dracula there are plenty of things to see and do in the town and regular events and festivals throughout the year. The North York Moors are nothing short of spectacular and well worth a visit with many National Heritage Sites, walking routes and villages to enjoy. Beach 4 miles.

The cottage is very pretty and the views are stunning. We acknowledge this is a pet friendly accommodation however, when we walked in, there was a very strong doggie smell which wasn’t helped by the dog cushion which was very quickly put outside (this did help a bit)! Additionally, the red sofa needs to be replaced, it has seen better days and does not go with the pretty decor of the cottage!

We enjoyed our weekend at Seaview . Beautiful places to visit just a short drive away . We were a little disappointed that there was no tea, coffee , sugar , milk , surface spray or cooking oil for us to use so had to make a journey out to buy some. It does say in the details about the cottage that it’s a “ luxury” accommodation. In previous places where we’ve stayed & not necessarily “ luxury “ these items are standard !!! There was only 1 light working in the rear garden.

Enjoyed a relaxing break despite the varying weather conditions. Lovely cottage with fantastic views and lovely walks. The accommodation contained everything we required and was very comfortable. The wood burner was a delight. It would be helpful if instructions for the central heating could be supplied to support controlling it so it did not come on in the middle of the night.
