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

Absolutely brilliant accommodation in beautiful surroundings with amazing view to sea. Very comfortable beds and great kitchen with everything you would need to cook in. Dawn was super-friendly and helpful,... read more giving advice on things to do, places to go and even letting us borrow a casserole dish! Had excellent walks in Saltburn, Staithes, Runswick and Scaling Dam reservoir. Had fabulous meals- especially seafood- at The Tiger Inn and Cod and Lobster nearby. Everyone, everywhere was friendly and chatty! My mums dog, Chudley, loved his stay too- settled very quickly and loved all the pheasants and partridges in surrounding fields!!! Would highly recommend!!!

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 had a lovely stay at Dawn's cottage near to Staithes. Instructions for arrival were clear. The cottage itself was spotless on arrival, very comfortable and has all we needed.... read more It is so peaceful and quiet in the countryside, yet only a short drive to Staithes, Runswick Bay, Saltburn and other coastal villages on the Yorkshire Coast. Dawn was always very friendly and helpful whenever we had any questions. We hope to be back again next time we stay over here!

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!

We stayed at Staithes View Cottage for two nights and absolutely loved it! The cottage was clean, cosy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views were... read more absolutely stunning—we could have happily stayed longer just to take it all in.Dawn, the host, was fantastic—especially when we had a flat tyre. She went above and beyond to help us, which we really appreciated. It’s also a wonderfully dog-friendly place—our dog had a great time!A big thank you for the thoughtful touches like the biscuits and milk on arrival. We’re already wishing we had booked a longer stay and would definitely return.

A nice house that catered for us and our pooches well. It's just that it is in the middle of literally nowhere. Saltburn, there's nothing there. Staithes is just pebbledash... read more housing by the sea, with an industrial works. Wanted to collect some sea glass but nowhere to park. Tick machine takes your money but gives you no ticket. Whitby has become a dive of epic proportions. Got charged £30 for take away fish and chips. Public Facilities takes your money and the doors don't open. So we just had to kick about the house from mid afternoon because there was no where else to go except local coop. There could have been a few little breakfast bits in for us and some milk etc. Oh and there was no hot water. Shower was stone cold this morning. Other than this house was very clean and nicely set out. But we got up this morning and just haply went home.
