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 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.

Reviews

Really cosy cottage, fantastic area and views. Great field for a quick dog walk in the morning and evening. A great week away for us and the dog.

Mrs E,

The cottage is beautiful, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location is stunning and very quiet. The owners welcoming and helpful. Will definitely look at going back some time in the future.

Ms R,

Beautiful place to stay and beautiful accommodation dog friendly

Mr George S,

Acorn Cottage was lovely, the owners were amazing. It was clean and tidy and comfortable and in a great location. The reason I would not recommend your site is purely down to the fact that I used your filters to have an enclosed garden. When I arrived there was no garden at all. As I was travelling with a pup this was very disappointing as the main reason I booked this was because I needed a safe space for the pup. We were situated opposite a working farm so I was constantly worrying in case pup ran out and indeed shot by the farmer as is his right to do so. I re-read the advert of this property on your site and it also mentions plans to have a patio area with furniture at Acorn Cottage, which it did not. The property faces directly onto the driveway so there would be no space at all for any such patio area. Overall, I have no complaints with the property expect if I had known it did not have an enclosed garden I would never have booked it. The owners were fantastic and I would recommend the property to anyone, but not through your website unfortunately.

Mrs Cherry H,

Lovely property, good location, friendly hosts.
