Cosy. Warm and great location

Nothing

The bloody seagulls. Bad luck the younger ones were out in force too as noise was insane at night. Nothing to do with the lovely cottage but argh. And I spend a lot of time at the coast.

Location was perfect as we were walking sections of the Cleveland Way. Easy access to path from Staithes and also easy access to bus from top of road. Cottage very sweet and homely, beds extremely comfortable. The host was great - we had a power cut and she got an electrician to us really swiftly and it was a Sunday.

The cottage was cold. There are night storage heaters but they gave out heat from the early hours of the morning but if you are out during the day , as we were, it was cold by the time we got back. We used the throws in the sitting room as blankets for the beds! It might be useful if blankets were provided.

Great location. Compact but an ideal base. Cold weekend so the property was cooler but didn’t spoil anything.

Location

Beautiful location and the real fire.

It would be good to have coat hooks and a heated towel rail.

Location and ease of access

Not as clean as it could have been

ok/good standard all round , nice decoration , plenty of necessities catered for, pleasant location and added bonus for being in the beautiful village of Staithes .

the downstairs living space was dark ( the cottage is old and in a close quarter yard with other buildings very near so its no wonder not much light gets in ), there are plenty of lights to brighten it up but it felt very gloomy and wasn't particularly comfortable. The upstairs rooms were light enough though and cheery, the top bedroom was lovely . The shower leaked to the kitchen below and the toilet was not flushing very well. In general it could do with a better clean, the sofa was a little worse for wear with stains and defo smelled of dog. There was a bench outside but nowhere to really sit outside comfortably .

The cottage was very quaint as it was an old fisherman's cottage and had a lot of character. It is in an excellent location near to the harbour and shops, restuarants museum, art galleries and craft shop. The cottage has all the amenities that you needed for the duration of our stay. It was good value for what we paid. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms were a good size although the top floor bedroom has wooden ceiling beams so you have to be careful you dont bang your head. I was okay being just under five foot though.

There was nothing really we disliked about the cottage. It was a bit smaller than it looked on the brochure but we were fine. with that. The gulls were a bit noisy our first night but after that it we never noticed them.
