About this property

Staithes 2 miles. Set in the picturesque village of Hinderwell, near Staithes, North Yorkshire, is The Folly, a brand new barn conversion, offering an idyllic getaway for friends and families alike. The barn conversion was a former stable and is 300 years old. With partial ground-floor living and the whole of the ground floor/garden being wheelchair accessible as well as lots of sociable space to gather with loved ones. A short journey from the Yorkshire Moors National Park, this property is perfect to bask in the treasures of your surroundings and explore the local town with six guests being welcomed. Entering the property, be greeted by a stunning ground-floor bedroom fitted with a king-size bed, ideal for those with limited mobility.

Exposed beams and stone walls emulate a delightful décor which extends throughout and is mirrored in the trople bunk bedroom; a newly furbished wet room additionally accompanies the ground-floor, perfect for freshening up for the day ahead. Moving through the open-plan living/dining space reveals high ceilings and clerestory windows, a splendid setting to prepare meals and entertain of an evening. The first floor also offers an additional sitting room with occasional double bed and mezzanine snug, perfect for chilly winter nights. Nearby places to visit are Runswick Bay (1 mile away), Staithes, Sandsend and Saltburn by the Sea for great days out.

During your stay, immerse yourself in the local history by venturing to Foss Castle or the Hinderwell War Memorial, or alternatively take a short trip to the beautiful Kettleness and be impressed by its very own secret beach and waterfall. Further afield you will discover the seaside town of Whitby (8 miles away) and Saltburn-by-the-Sea where there are a vast array of amenities and activities suitable for all ages. Popular attractions include Whitby Abbey, RNLI Whitby Museum, Dracula Experience Ltd, Saltburn Pier and Saltburn Miniature Railway. Create a memorable stay with your loved ones by booking The Folly as your next retreat to North Yorkshire.

A delight for artists, Staithes is a quaint, peaceful seaside town with cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways. A secluded sandy beach is nestled among the rocky shoreline, and the town's charming homes and cottages are grouped around the historic harbour and bordered by high, jagged cliffs on three sides. The community can claim ties to Captain Cook, who served as an apprentice to a draper close to the harbour. Today, Staithes, which boasts a decent selection of pubs, shops, and tea rooms, is a must-see for anyone travelling to the Yorkshire Coast. There is still a rnli lifeboat station in Staithes, along with a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) that land fish, crab, and lobster. Boat trips are also offered for fishing, birdwatching, and even whale watching.

  • Andrew

    The cottage is renovated to a very high standard and made a comfortable base for our weekend break. Two pubs and a decent butchers are within short walking distance from the property, we had a really nice meal at the Badger Hounds pub just across the road. Close walking distance to Staithes and Runswick Bay, both lovely seaside villages. Excellent property and location.

  • Stuart

    Only a short drive to Runswick Bay and Staithes and only 10 miles to Whitby or Saltburn so ideal location to explore the North Yorkshire coastline. The Prosecco and Chocolates on arrival were a nice touch. The food in the Badger Hounds just across the road was excellent.
