St Hilda’s Rest receives glowing praise for its spacious, well-equipped accommodation, friendly and attentive staff, and excellent location near the coast and local attractions. Guests particularly enjoy the hot tub, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches throughout the property. While a few minor issues are mentioned, such as the distance to the hot tub and occasional maintenance needs, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a popular choice for family gatherings and special occasions.
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean and well-presented, with only rare minor comments about maintenance. Guests repeatedly mention high standards of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to beautiful coastal walks, beaches, and local villages. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting and easy access to attractions such as Staithes, Runswick Bay, and Whitby.
Guests find the accommodation spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for large groups and comfortable beds. A few minor comments note compact twin rooms or a lumpy mattress, but these are exceptions.
Facilities are well-received, with the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, and ample communal space highlighted. Some guests mention the hot tub and garden being a short walk from the cottage and occasional maintenance needs, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, biscuits, milk, and attentive staff. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
Retaining much charm, this spacious property is close to the pretty fishing village of Staithes and picturesque village of Runswick Bay. It also has easy access to the North York Moors and the popular walking route - The Cleveland Way.. 1 step to entrance.

Had a fantastic stay the house was very impressive with games and books for us to use. If I would pick a down side to the experience it would be that the hot tub is a short walk past the house, so people could see us in our swimming clothes, this would also be a problem when the new restaurant is built, having to walk past in swimming things.

A great place to stay for a few days and enjoy the local area. Would recommend.
