One word AMAZING! Me and my partner stayed with our 2 chihuahuas for 2 nights. When we arrived we was greated with a very clean tidy cottage. Dawn had even... read more left us some tasty botham's of whitby tea biscuits, ginger parkin, tea bags. As well as a pint a milk. The bed was super comfy had no problem falling asleep after the long drive. The views are beautiful from the cottage, there is a sea view from the windows which is amazing. There is so many nice places nearby, the cottage is in a central location but still remote. Our last day we went to goathland (Heartbeat set and Hogsmede in first Harry Potter film) which was roughly 20 mins away, we took the steam train to whitby. Hands down one of the best weekends me and my partner have had. Our only negative was we didn't stay longer to do more exploring. We will definitely be back.

We had a really great week at the cottage. It was spacious, very well equipped, nice and warm, peaceful with wonderful views over the hills. It seemed a lot bigger... read more than the photos and we felt at home straightaway and both of us relaxed and really enjoyed ourselves. The cottage is lovely and in a beautiful location, near to the seaside towns, woodland and moors of North Yorkshire. We could have stayed longer! I would definitely stay there again and I will recommend the cottage to friends and family.

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

A very comfortable and relaxing place to stay with a beautiful view. My husband, two teenage sons and I felt very at home. We were made to feel very welcome... read more and Dawn thoughtfully sent us some ideas of things to do locally when the weather wasn't great one day. We visited Whitby, Runswick Bay, Scarborough and surfed in Saltburn during our week. Altogether, an active and enjoyable time.

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 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!
