A lovely cottage in a great location. Garth End Cottage was everything we wanted and hoped for - comfortable, well-equipped and well-situated both for walking and relaxing and taking in the sea views and everything else Staithes has to offer. Definitely on our list of places we’d like to stay again.

We had a really nice stay at Garth End cottage. The quirky cottage was set in a fantastic location in the centre of Staithes overlooking the harbour. The cottage itself was well equipped with superb views. A great place to spend the week

The cottage is right on the harbour so has wonderful views. Is a lovely characterful village. The property could do with some updating especially the bathroom and kitchen which, if nothing else, need a good scrub. Personally I would remove the niknaks as they are just collecting dust. The beds were very comfortable.
There is designated car parking but it is on the outskirts of the village up an extremly steep hill so for those with mobility issues this could be a problem.

Wonderful position in a lovely cottage

Fantastic location, could not have wished for better. Having stayed in older properties before Garth End was as expected, plenty of character. The only disappointment for me was the shower, the hose was warn and leaked and the shower head kept drooping. This in itself was not enough to spoil our stay, and after reading this I am sure the owner will get it replaced.

We arrived at the cottage during a rainstorm, but that only made the cottage seem even more snug and secure.
Hilary has gone to great lengths to make her guests comfortable. The cottage is well equipped with everything one would need and the views are wonderful from nearly every window. We were happy to just sit and watch the sea.
Staithes is a charming little coastal village. We left our car in the garage at the top of the hill, secure in the knowledge that it was safe.
My husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing short break and will definitely return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at this house in Staithes. Everything was well prepared and equipped. We felt like at home immediately. We loved sitting at the window looking to the harbour for hours. We slept like babies and got up with the crying seagulls. It was a pleasure walking round the cosy village and make a stop for a pint at the "Cod and Lobster". We both were so sad leaving after 8 wonderful days. We do highly recommend the house. Thanks for a great time.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Great price for a great property. The views of the harbour were wonderful and the location itself was exactly what we were looking for. The beds were super comfy and the dishwasher came in very handy :) we would definitely stay here again, thanks so much!

Excellent views of the harbour, cosy yet spacious, well equipped kitchen and brilliant location.
Armchairs in bay were a little 'laid back' and tricky to get comfortable without loads of pillows. Sun lounger cupboard had evidence of possible mouse damage in the back of one of the chair cushion.
We were a bit surprised by an unannounced visit by a man, his wife and their dog to view a leaking tap that someone else had reported. Some notice would have allowed time to clear personal items, cash and wallet etc especially as they let themselves in whilst we were sitting outside on the lower porch area. Their dog was unknowingly and accidentally let out when I visited the kitchen to get more drinks. It appeared on the doorstep outside and then apparently went on into the village! I had no idea it had come from inside!
Also alarmed the next day by the window cleaner suddenly washing all the windows whilst my wife was napping. The noise and clatter sounded like someone else was in the house or trying to get in whilst she was alone at that time. Very disconcerting!
We have enjoyed most of our time here but sometimes the tranquility and privacy seems to get interrupted and we could have handled it better with more notification or warning.
On the whole with the weather being fair to warm and bright it was a great short break.

A second visit. Staithes is busier now than the winter months but this did not detract from the enjoyment of this interesting town and surroundings. Overlooking the harbour through the picture window is very relaxing

We had a wonderful time in Staithes and the cottage was lovely, and part of what made our stay so enjoyable. It has a lot of charm, plenty of practicality, and the best view over Staithes harbour. The only drawback would be for very tall people, as the low ceilings and beams might be an issue for people over 185cm. But the beams are all part of the lovely charm of thei cottage.

Brilliant family holiday. Lovely cottage in keeping with the area in a great location. Incredible views from the window overlooking the harbour and the main bedroom each morning. Cosy living room and well equipped kitchen with plenty of room for meals together. Kids really enjoyed the rock pooling/fossil hunting at low tide and crabbing from the harbour wall at high tide - the sandy area of beach was also a welcome bonus (all above effectively their garden for the week)! Great pub (the crab and lobster) less than a minutes walk away for family friendly drinks and food and a lovely little shop as close in the other direction selling kids toys/beach equipment etc at really reasonable prices. Deli/cafes/sweet/fudge shop on our doorstep with a fab seafood shop a little further away in the car park and a co-op slightly further up from the car park when we had to drag ourselves back into the real world for basics! Lots of walking opportunities along the Cleveland way - the first holiday in ages we felt we didn’t need the car. All in all an amazing autumn half term week!

An amazing location in Staithes, the views across the harbour is perfect from the picture window. (many happy hours were spent watching) The cottage was well equipped and beds comfy. The kitchen had everything you need but to note there is no washing machine. There are 2 great pubs a stones throw away. We had a lovely relaxing week.

Location, location, location
A great stay in this lovely, central old cottage, right on the harbour wall with terrific 24 hour 'Staithes harbour TV' just out of the window. Relaxing place, that has plenty of all you will need in a family home. There's space to sit outside in the sun and do not very much or plenty of good walks too. The butcher's now sadly closed, but in the village you are very close to the Cod and Lobster pub, a great deli and the fish shop and smokery by the car park is fantastic (+Co-Op at the top of the hill).

Stunning Sea Views!
We've spent an idyllic week in Garth End Cottage with 2 of our granddaughters. The cottage is extremely cosy and comfortable. I've read other reviews which said the decor and furnishings are very dated, but we thought it just added to the charm. The bed in the main bedroom was so comfortable. One of the best I've ever slept in and the sea view from the window was amazing. The kitchen is fully equipped with all mod cons. We could've done with a washing machine, but only because of having our granddaughters with us and hated sending a bagful of washing home for our daughter to contend with. I love the fact that the house is set over 2 floors as well. We've stayed in several cottages in Staithes that are 3 storeys and it can be a pain having to go up 2 flights of stairs. The best room in the whole house has to be the cabin, with a huge picture window overlooking the sea and Staithes Harbour. All in all, an excellent week was had by us all and we regretted leaving this morning. We vow to come back during the Summer months.

Full of character in Staithes
We were very pleased with the size of the cottage by the harbour wall. Trying to get an impression of the size of it before we arrived on one of the street map tools, was impossible. We thought we might be getting a cute and tiny cottage, we were surprised with the space, plenty big enough for a family of 4 or 5, or two couples.

Super cottage with the most exceptional views. We felt sorry for everyone else in Staithes! Warm and cosy, comfortable furniture and beds and some of the best walks ever. Splendid stay and looking forward to coming back to Garth End Cottage very soon.

Lovely seaside stay
We had a lovely time again in Staithes. The cottage is in an amazing location and the children particularly enjoyed the ‘seagull room’ where we could easily see when it was time for crabbing. We would love to return ❤️
