Staithes Cottages

Self-catering holiday homes & accommodation in Staithes

Situated in a small sheltered cove at the base of a cliff, halfway between Whitby and Saltburn, the ancient fishing village of Staithes on the Yorkshire coast is the perfect hideaway. Higgledy-piggledy fishermen's cottages huddle together, tumbling down the hillside towards the sea with contrasting red and grey roofs. At the harbour, brightly painted fishing boats gently sway on the water, and everywhere you look there is beautiful coastal scenery. Lost in time, this atmospheric and authentic Yorkshire village has captivated artists and writers for centuries.

Step out from one of our Staithes cottages and spend your days exploring its winding cobbled streets, visit the galleries, hunt for fossils on the beach, then enjoy afternoon tea at one of the cafes or relax with drinks outside one of the welcoming pubs overlooking the bay. Once the home of James Cook - one of Britain's most famous sailors - a visit to the Captain Cook and Staithes Heritage Centre is a must to learn more about the fascinating history of the village. Lying on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, there is also a bounty of walking opportunities from the doorsteps of our holiday lets in Staithes, such as the Cleveland Way National Trail, leading to pretty spots such as Runswick Bay and Sandsend.
