One of four cosy barn conversions adjacent to the owner’s country house, this one-bedroom retreat is a wonderful hideaway for a couple. Inside, the living spaces are brimming with character, adorned with original floorboards, wooden beams and feature barn windows. The accommodation also enjoys the shared use of a games room and a 4-acre paddock, so there is lots to do without even having to leave this pretty setting.

Make yourselves instantly comfortable in the open-plan living area where leather sofas surround a TV and a crackling wood burner. Stoke the flames as you watch your favourite programmes or head into the kitchen to whip up some snacks. A dining table offers plenty of room for romantic suppers. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom. When night falls, head up the stairs to the gallery double bedroom which overlooks the living space down below through a wooden balustrade. Outside, a small patio provides a place to sit and soak up the sunshine or if you fancy stretching your legs, you can also make use of the owner’s 4-acre paddock. And if that’s not enough, there is a games room in the owner’s home which is shared with the other three cottages on site.

Just 1.5 miles from the captivating fishing village of Staithes, there’s lots to do when you fancy a day out. Peruse the shops and galleries along the village’s winding cobbled streets or head into the Staithes Heritage Museum to learn more about the area’s most famous former resident, Captain James Cook. Or if you’re longing for some outdoor adventures, the property is surrounded by the rolling countryside of the North York Moors National Park, with Easington Beck and Roxby Beck within easy reach.

Quiet location close to the coast, field with track for walking the dogs, games room, clean and tidy accommodation and very helpful nice owners providing great local advice and tips. Will definitely recommend and use again next time in the area.

The cottage is in a great location for access to beautiful beaches along the coast all a few minutes drive away. The 3-4 cottages are tightly packed together around the shared games room, and adjacent to the owners property on a very quiet long narrow single track road. The setting feels remote but not private. The meadow opposite is lovely, and thRead moreere are plenty of footpaths to explore. The enclosed garden of Catkin cottage is a small courtyard with a low wall, overlooked by other gardens and the road. Hide

I would absolutely recommend staying in one of these cottages - The owner is extremely polite, friendly and welcoming. We were treated like royalty and the cottage was clean tidy & very comfortable (Especially the bed). It is is a very quaint little area with just the right amount of amenities on your doorstep but far enough away from any Hussle & Read morebustle. Hide
