    “Rockfish is a very cosy comfortable little cottage within easy walking distance of Staithes’ harbour, pubs, cafes and shops.”

    The cottage was spotlessly clean and very warm. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need and there was a very generous welcome hamper. The shower was great and the bed was very comfortable. Would recommend this cottage, but note the stairs are steep. There is a downstairs bedroom, and the bathroom is downstairs - perfect if you can’t manage the stairs. We took some local walks and also drove to nearby Sandsend and then walked along the beach into Whitby from there. Perfect little ...

The property

Set centrally in Staithes, a seaside village in North Yorkshire, is this well-positioned three-bedroom cottage, Rockfish Cottage.

The cottage enjoys a countryside surrounding, displayed from the rear garden, while in proximity to the local harbour, making it the perfect base for exploring both the country and coast; the cottage welcomes five guests, offering flexible sleeping arrangements and partial ground-floor living.

Make use of the open-plan living space, where you can rustle up some hearty meals, dine as a family, and relax in front of the woodburning stove, before heading outside for some peace and quiet.

The ground-floor also houses the bathroom, along with a super king-size (zip/link) bedroom, for convenience; by climbing the stairs you'll find two further bedrooms, including a king-size with TV, and a single.

Within walking distance, you'll arrive at an array of village amenities, including The Whitby Crab, Cod & Lobster, and The Endeavour as dine-out options, along with a convenience store.

On your travels you'll also fine Kettleness beach, perfect for lounging upon on sunny days, Captain Cook & Staithes Heritage Centre, showcasing a diverse collection of artefacts and memorabilia, and Mulgrave Castle, and its ancient ruins, ideal for touring if you’re interested in history or architecture.

Heading to the bustling town of Whitby, embark on a hike across the Cinder Track, climb the 199 Steps, offering panoramic views across Whitby coastline, or head to Whitby Abbey, a grand landmark, attracting visitors for over 1,500 years.

Venturing West, reach Saltburn-by-the-Sea, also home to popular attractions, including the sandy shores of Saltburn Beach, or perhaps aboard the cliff tramway, starting from the shoreline and travelling upward, offering breath-taking vistas of the county, whilst Saltburn Gill Nature Reserve is recommended for its secluded and nature-filled setting, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.

Enjoy all that North Yorkshire has to offer at Rockfish Cottage.

About the location

STAITHES

Whitby 10 miles.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.
