Reviews

The property was lovely and our hosts were very friendly.

Mrs Carol W,

Wonderful property

Ms Sue K,

Tawny Owl is a lovely cottage furnished to a high standard and with every piece of equipment and fittings you could ever want. It was ideal for our 9 month old grandson as everything is on one level and both cot and highchair were of high quality. We very much appreciated the extra touch of a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates in addition to tea, coffee and milk ready for our first brew on arrival. The hot tub was also appreciated at the end of a busy day visiting the area. We also very much enjoyed going to Runswick Bay which is very close to the cottage (about 5 minutes drive). Liz was very welcoming, helpful and prompt with any query we had. Although close to the main road, the cottage offers plenty of parking space which was an essential for us with baby equipment and there is easy access to Staithes by foot from the cottage (about 20 minute walk).

Ms Nadine S,

This was our second visit to Red House Farm, we previously stayed in Barn Owl Cottage in 2018, both cottages are superb, warm, well equipped and absolutely spotlessly clean. Situated right on the Cleveland Way and a short walk from the village of Staithes makes an ideal location and the hot tub is that extra attraction for a soak after a great days walking.

Area Information

Cowbar
Cowbar is a picturesque hamlet tucked under the Cliff Nab connected with the village of Staithes by a footbridge. It is popular with artists, photographers and birdwatchers. Cowbar is an ideal base to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Coast and Moors.
The neighbouring village of Staithes is a pretty, traditional fishing village with bundles of charm located 10 miles north of Whitby and offers an idyllic location for holidaymakers visiting the seaside. The village boasts some of the narrowest cobbled streets in the north and is connected with ginnels, nooks and winding streets. There is plenty to see and do with pubs, cafes, shops, art galleries and a fish smokehouse. The village hosts real ale and jazz festivals during the year and the September Arts Festival is becoming a very popular event which attracts many visitors. For those fancying taking to the waters there are regular boat trips to Whitby from Staithes. There are many walks around the area along the cliff tops and through to Whitby, it is an ideal location for any holidaymaker.
