As a location this is exceptional. The walk into Staithes is beautiful. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Welcome pack including jams and biscuits was a nice touch, and much appreciated.Some basic instructions that are easy to find for the dishwasher and oven would be useful (though to be fair, we didn’t ask and did figure it out). There is a bit of building work happening at the minute, but this didn’t bother us as we were out most days.Would definitely visit the complex again - in fact this might be my new favourite place!

We stayed as a family of 8 and 2 dogs.Staff friendlyThe downstairs shower was really not what you would expect , not a rainfall or anything but one slow run of water. We think this needs attention.One of the mattresses was really lumpy ,my granddaughter complained bitterly.We would come back but these things need addressing.

We had an amazing stay over New Year. We were a party of 8 adults, two kids and a dog and it was perfect for all. The house was ideal, the rooms upstairs are well spread out and they’ve thought of everything to help make your stay comfortable. Debbie was so lovely and helpful, nothing was too much of a problem. The location is perfect for local coastal walks and only a short drive to Whitby as well. Would definitely return.
