We absolutely loved staying at Staithes View! Quiet, beautiful, definitely off the beaten track, the location was just what we wanted and exactly as Dawn described. The house itself was... read more very comfortable, with lots of attention to detail and comfort.Even though pubs and shops are not within walking distance, there are plenty of options by car (though, to be fair, not many at 7 pm on a Sunday). Dawn had some excellent suggestions, and was a friendly and responsive host. It is the perfect place from which to explore the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, and the wonderful coastal towns and villages. Equally, it would be a delightful place just to spend a few days in a peaceful and beautiful location and not go anywhere at all!

Great home from home, Dawn had put the heating and light on ready for us to arrive as we were arriving in the dark and cold, It was lovely and... read more cosy. Had everything we needed inc all the little helpful extras like oil, tin foil, dish washer tabs etc. The house is actually a lot bigger than it looks in the photos, it really is spacious. Place was clean tidy and very well thought out. Beds were really comfy and the bedding was also lovey, good thick soft duvets.both bedrooms being en-suite was really helpful with teenagers and a downstairs loo too. We all slept like logs as it’s so quiet and out of the way. Views over the fields are stunning and easy to find just off Grinkle Lane. We would love to come back some time. Thank you

Positives - Stunning views (the view over the hills towards the sea is to die for, its called Staithes view for a reason)The accommodation - clean, spacious, fully equipped with... read more everything you could possibly need if you wanted to self cater, comfy beds, 2 bathrooms (which is a treat), velux windows to admire the view in the morning and onsite parking is a bonus. Close to Staithes and Runswick Bay (which is lovely) we only stayed 2 nights but managed to do both places. Advised in summer months to get to carpark early at Runswick Bay as it gets busy! 8.30 we got there and it was already half full. Recommendations by Dawn for places to eat (tiger inn) which was very nice, just book. Tried the Captain Cook inn at Staithes (top of the hill) was also very good and reasonably priced. Dawn is a good tour guide and will give you helpful advice and both hosts are lovely to talk to and very accomodating. Negatives- wish we could have stayed longer!

We’re already wishing we had booked a longer stay and would definitely return.
