Gary September 2024

“A lovely clean and comfortable cottage which was very well equipped with everything you needed for a perfect home from home stay.”

Nicely located for visiting the north yorkshire coast and moors. Loved the super king size bed. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Recommend for a relaxing break and so much to do in the local area.

- Gary, September 2024
Alexandra June 2024

“Everything was absolutely wonderful at the Loft.”

I could not have asked for more. The attention to detail, comfort and cleanliness are second to none. Pippa and Graham were marvellous hosts. Staintondale is a very special place with stunning views and beautiful walks from the doorstep. Don't hesitate in booking, you will be delighted with your stay.

- Alexandra, June 2024
Phil April 2024

“Six footers beware the exposed beams and sloping ceilings.”

Provided you take rudimentary self care and awareness, though, you will be rewarded with cosy and romantic accommodation in one of the most beautiful parts of England. Easy access to moors, coast and local towns makes this an attractive booking proposition. The property itself is clean, tidy and provided all our needs for a recent long weekend away. I would not hesitate to book again.

- Phil, April 2024
Geoffrey February 2024

Thank you, so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner
Sue September 2023

“Brilliant location and a lovely place to stay, owners were very friendly and welcoming.”

The accommodation was spotless and everything was catered for, definitely worth a visit and stay. The area was perfect for exploring, loads of literature in the accommodation for walking and places of interest.The pub in Cloughton called the Byherstones was amazing, the food was outstanding. The Sunday roast was exceptional but do book if you want to go, and the homemade pie was also fantastic, both times the meat melted in your mouth. The coastline is outstanding in the area would definitely come back again.

- Sue, September 2023
Chris September 2023

“Exactly as it says on the tin.”

Peaceful, clean, comfortable, in a sublime location. Lovely hosts. Perfectly placed for exploring. An absolutely fantastic week. And although out of the control of the owners, even the weather was kind.

- Chris, September 2023
John September 2023

“A beautiful place to stay at Hillside Farm the views were amazing and the accommodation called the Loft was superb, had everything me and my wife needed.”

- John, September 2023
Emily August 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage.”

It was immaculate; well presented and beautifully furnished/ decorated. The cottage is set amongst stunning grounds where you can enjoy the gorgeous scenery in relaxed surroundings. We had everything we needed in the cottage as it was so well equipped. We will definitely be returning in future and highly recommend.

- Emily, August 2023
Rosemary July 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at the Loft.”

The accommodation and gardens were brilliant and the hosts Graham and Pippa were really welcoming and offered some great suggestions for local walks and pubs. We would definitely stay again and recommend a visit to one of their cottages. The only minor issue was that the WiFi signal was poor and we lost WiFi connection on several occasions, this is understandable in a rural location, but worth planning for!

- Rosemary, July 2023
Robert July 2023

“A wonderful stay in a very comfortable, well equipped holiday cottage.”

The location is perfect for visiting the coast between Bridlington and Saltburn and up onto the moors. The only slightly negative comment would be that the outside sitting area for The Loft needed a bit of TLC.

- Robert, July 2023
Lynne June 2023

“Delightful accommodation; well-appointed and with lovely decor.”

All in a perfect setting. BLISS!

- Lynne, June 2023
Siobhan June 2023

“A beautiful property, so cosy and decorated to a high standard.”

There are plenty of practical items and a selection of books, DVDs and even some binoculars for watching the local wildlife. The grounds are wonderful, perfect for an evening stroll. Unfortunately we weren’t blessed with good weather so we didn’t have much chance to enjoy, however we did get to meet the two adorable Highland cows. The Loft is situated between Scarborough and Whitby, but not too far from Staithes, Robin Hood’s Bay and the picturesque Sandsend (I would definitely recommend a visit!). The Clevelend Way walk from Ravenscar to Robin Hood’s Bay is lovely too - very hilly, but the views are wonderful. Also not far away is the pretty Falling Foss waterfall and tea gardens. A perfect place to just sit, observe and listen to nature. The owners, Pippa and Graham, are very friendly and helpful and they are available if you need anything. They they have a very friendly dog too, who greeted us like old friends! We had a lovely time whilst we were there (we had to leave early due to a family emergency) but the few days we had there were appreciated and allowed us to recharge our batteries in a relaxing, pretty and comfortable environment. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to The Loft. Thank you.

- Siobhan, June 2023
Jeremy May 2023

“If the owners did a gift-wrapping service we would have loved to have taken The Loft Conversion away!”

But that would also have to include the glorious location too !!

- Jeremy, May 2023
Craig May 2023

“We had a much needed and well deserved peaceful long weekend break.”

It was for my birthday that happened to coincide with the Coronation. My partner and I have a hectic job involving shift work. We appreciated the location, very beautiful and quiet. The scenery is gorgeous. Friendly welcoming hosts. Thanks Graham and Pippa. The loft was lovely, just the right size for a couple. Has all the facilities you need. Only thing missing is a washing machine. Not that we needed one. Very clean and well presented, great use of space. Wi-fi during our stay was a bit hit and miss. Great location for exploring local area. Will definitely stay again when back up in North Yorkshire.

- Craig, May 2023
Paul October 2022

“Lovely comfortable and cosy property containing everything you could need and in a fantastic location.”

- Paul, October 2022
Andrew September 2022

“This was our third time staying here and that says a lot in itself.”

Excellent little property for two in a lovely peaceful place and the owners are lovely people. It's a perfect location for exploring all the North Yorkshire coast and moors.

- Andrew, September 2022
Liam June 2022

“We stayed at The Loft from 3/6/22-10/6/22 and had a really great time.”

Hillside Farm is in beautiful location, the scenery was breathtaking. The loft was lovely and clean with everything you need, a real home from home. Graham and Pippa had thought of everything and we’re very friendly. They provided coffee, tea, milk and a chocolate treat which was a nice and thoughtful touch. The small town of Staintondale is close to Scarborough and Whitby and an excellent location to explore North Yorkshire.

- Liam, June 2022
Diane April 2022

“Beautifully presented, exceptionally clean.”

Loved the setting, the quietness and the hosts were wonderful, right there if you needed anything.

- Diane, April 2022
Connie April 2022

“The Loft is in an ideal location for visiting North Yorkshire coast and moors.”

Cleveland Way and The Cinder track are both accessible from the property. The accommodation is comfortable, warm and really well equipped. The owners have thought of everything that you may need. The owners are on site and gave useful information and advice when we arrived. Would definitely like to stay here again.

- Connie, April 2022
Christopher April 2022

“We had an absolutely lovely stay.”

The Loft is great, suited us perfectly and the lovely garden to sit in was home from home !! I have one criticism only and that is, the oven, just too complicated for us !

- Christopher, April 2022
Jamie-leigh March 2022

“A lovely cottage with all amenities thought of by the hosts.”

There were fresh baked goods on arrival and even a bottle of milk! With gorgeous scenery all around, The Loft was a wonderfully cosy place to snuggle up after a day of exploring the local coastline, and listen to the wind howling outside... Graham was kind enough to show me his extensive fossil collection when I told him that the natural history of the area was a huge draw for me. He told us good walks to take, places to eat, places to hunt for fossils and he even gave me a couple that he found on the beach! The only thing that I would change; and it really is a minor detail!- a small sofa or cuddle chair to replace the tub chairs, as we didn't find them particularly comfortable. We'd love to return in the high season!

- Jamie-leigh, March 2022
Lynne December 2021

“The Loft had all amenities and was beautiful and peaceful.”

- Gordon, July 2021
Kenneth July 2021

“Very well situated for the area.”

Nice location, peaceful and picturesque. The owners were always friendly and very helpful. Their local knowledge was invaluable. Could do with a height warning on listing. Anyone over 5'9" ie 1.75m would hit their heads on beams as it is what it says- a loft. Anyone under 5'9" could not easily open or shut the roof shutters.

- Kenneth, July 2021
Carole June 2021

“Beautiful character cottage in idyllic setting, very peaceful yet easy to travel to Whitby and Scarborough.”

Enjoyed walks from the cottage down the cinder track to Ravenscar and to Hayburn Wyke and further afield to Goathland to visit Mallyann Spout waterfall and walking along the coastal path from Robin Hood's Bay. Would also recommend Falling Foss tea garden and waterfall. Cottage had high quality fittings and equipped with everything you needed and owners on hand to advise about the local area.

- Carole, June 2021
John June 2021

“What a lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful location.”

The cottage was well equipped with everything you need to be self sufficient although we did enjoy a couple of meals at two local pubs. Plenty of hot water and the ability to put the central heating as required. The cottage is ideally placed for cycling or walking along the Cinder Track and also for walking the Cleveland Way. Highly recommended for both the cottage and for the area.

- Jane, May 2021

“On your web site you state The Loft as a Fridge/Freezer it actually is an Ice ...”

On your web site you state The Loft as a Fridge/Freezer it actually is an Ice Box within the Fridge,just a minor point which could be important to some people,but apart from that everything was fine

- Charles, September 2020
John September 2020

ApprecIated the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits waiting for us on arrival. It saved an immediate search to find a village shop!

- John, September 2020
Gary August 2020

“Was nice to arrive at the loft and find fresh milk,teabag,coffee and some lovely biscuits there for you and not having to unpack all your food etc before having a nice cuppa after travelling there.”

Wonderful location and great place to be if you like a bit of walking. Owners were very helpful and gave us lots of information about places to go to see and places to eat etc. Will be looking to book again in the future

- Gary, August 2020
Richard August 2020

“Great location.”

..quiet, peaceful. The Loft is roomy and well appointed, and there’s a tranquil spot in the garden with table and chairs to sit out at if you’re lucky with the weather. NCN1 is a short cycle away which permits cycling to Robin Hoods Bay to the north, and Scarborough to the south. Recommended!

- Richard, August 2020

Jacqui September 2018

“The loft was brilliant.”

We were met by Pippa who made us feel very welcome,she was very helpful with her knowledge of the local area and afar. The cottage was far better than the pictures. It was converted to a very high standard with all modern appliances whilst retaining the quirky side as well. The loft is in a ideal location for visiting all villages,town and cities. The location is peaceful with views to die for and ohh that bed you could get lost in it, best nights sleeps for ages. To sum up A little bit of heaven.

If you like walking its a good base to get to the Cleveland way public transport is very limited there only two buses a day and the local shop shut down two days before we got there so make sure you take enough supplies if you don't have transport

The property

A superb, first floor studio barn conversion, set amidst stunning countryside on the owners' smallholding, in the sleepy village of Staintondale, between Whitby and Scarborough.

Sympathetically converted from a stone and pantile granary, this Staintondale cottage offers a luxurious romantic hideaway for couples wanting tranquillity and privacy within a spectacular wildlife environment.

Beautifully appointed throughout, this Staintondale cottage exudes style and character, with exposed beams, aged timber floors and quirky low windows.

The spacious studio-style room boasts high quality furnishings, a cosy and comfortable sitting area and a sumptuous super king-size bed, an absolute delight to sink into at the end of the day!

The separate country style kitchen of this Staintondale cottage has handmade, bespoke cupboards, granite worktops and a Belfast sink, with a cosy and cheerful dining area overlooking fields.

With great attention to detail throughout, this well-equipped Staintondale cottage seamlessly combines tradition with modern comforts, providing an exceptional holiday home, with glorious, panoramic views towards the coast, over forestry and rolling countryside.

Wander around the 14 acres of grounds and fields and you may be lucky enough to see roe deer on the edge of the wood, or foxes drinking by the pond.

Guests are welcome to comb the friendly highland cows and Shetland ponies!

From this Staintondale cottage, there are fantastic walking opportunities from the door, with the Cleveland Way and the Cinder Track both within a 15 minute walk.

Not to be missed is the five minute drive to Ravenscar, where you can walk down to the foot of the cliffs to view the resident seal colony; an incredible sight all year round.

Ideally placed, a short drive brings you to the historic seaside port of Whitby, famous for its imposing abbey, cobbled narrow streets and wonderful fish and chips!

Visit nearby Grosmont and experience a trip back in time on the steam railway, or explore the pretty inland villages such as Goathland (Aidensfield) and the market towns of Pickering and Malton.

With such a wealth of attractions in the area, your first visit to this gem of a property will not be your last!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
