A restful break

We really enjoyed our stay ,lovely cottage with a fantastic view of the harbour.

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.

Stayed here for a long weekend with family. Great location with lovely views of the harbour

Excellent position, probably the best view in Staithes. All good

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.

A lovely, comfy holiday home right by the sea.

Had a lovely stay in Garth end cottage. Staithes and the surrounding area is beautiful and with the benefit of a garage it helped knowing the car was safe overnight! Thank you!

Fantastic, characterful, harbour wall property with amazing sea views. Just perfect. Stunning walks, friendly pubs, amazing beaches close by.

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).

Lovely cottage with incredible views!

It’s a little dark on entry and then opens up to a large kitchen, great sitting area and a light sun room. Upstairs one bedroom has sea views too. We so loved it.

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.

This perfectly placed cottage is just full of tradition and wonderfully cosy and comfortable. sea views amazing the perfect place to relax. Looking forward to returning ASAP.. gorgeous village and lovely clifftop walks. Doesn't get better than this.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay. Location was perfect, property was as we wanted it with character and equipped with all we needed.My wife and her mother loved sitting watching the harbour through the scenic bay window(and nosing of course). We would definitely stay here again., thouroughly brilliant.

This is a lovely cottage, decorated and furnished in a charming vintage style. Well-equipped and comfortable. Stunning views from the sitting room, across the harbour and to the cliffs and sea beyond.

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 ❤️

Loved the cottage and the location. Cosy, warm, quaint, homely - with stunning views! Fantastic. Hope to stay again one day!

The write up for this cottage is spot on, old property but has loads of character and the position is perfect. Loved the snug I hardly sat in the lounge. Someone put in a review house was cold, it was deffinately the opposite, we had to turn storage heaters down or off. Tips on arrival. It's the third alley on the left after the pub and second house down. I suggest you go past to bottom of village right past second pub, turn round and then stop to unload, its scary if someone comes the other way otherwise as difficult for them and you to reverse. Thanks for a fab holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay at Garth End. Spacious and interesting cottage that is well equipped and has the most wonderful views over the harbour.

The best thing about this property is the location and wonderful views. We loved sitting in the sun room...better then the telly! ... the views of the bay are stunning, watching the birds, the changing light and the people....didn't get as far as I had planned with my book. The kitchen is well stocked , the beds are comfortable, plenty of very hot water. The decor and finish of the house is quirky so don't expect super modern & comfort. The shower is a bit of a struggle if you are taller than 5ft 2". We appreciated the welcome bottle of wine , that was a lovely touch. We had hand gel and wipes left for the current Covid climate, a spare toilet roll would have also been good. Well placed for eating in or out. We dined at the Cod & Lobster (outside) & The George (inside but well distanced), both good. Dined in on 2 evenings. We can recommend the local butcher shop which is close to the cottage. We really enjoyed walking from the cottage on the Cleveland Way. A visit to Whitby was the most worrying time in this distancing climate. It was too busy in the tiny lanes but we escaped the crowds by climbing up to the Church and Abbey. Its a great property and location for just staying put if you are worried about the crowds and taking local walks. We stopped outside at the Captain Cook for an excellent paddle of beer after one lovely local walk. On our return home we stopped off at Barnard Castle for the obligatory Eye Test! Seriously we felt safe in Staithes and this lovely cottage in this Covid 19 situation. A wonderful memorable holiday. Thank you.
