Staithes beachside cottage sleeps 6

A stylish Staithes beachside cottage that sleeps 6. Waverley House provides an ideal holiday location on the cobbled High Street, in the centre of the old fishing village of Staithes. The cottage is less than 100 meters from the sheltered harbour with its small sandy beach. Low tide reveals vast areas of rocky seabed which can be explored on foot and is great for crabbing and fossil hunting. Staithes is on the Cleveland Way and the coastal path is easily accessed, allowing walkers to enjoy stunning cliff top views. There is a range of cafes, pubs, shops and art galleries no more than a few minutes away, plus the Staithes Heritage Centre Museum with its exhibits and information on Captain Cook, who lived in the village as a young man. Away from the village, a short drive takes you to sandy beaches along the coast or into the stunning scenery of the North Yorkshire Moors.

This charming, mid terraced Grade II listed property offers spacious accommodation and a wealth of original features. A small entrance vestibule opens into an open-plan kitchen/diner, a great social space in which to gather together with friends and family. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, two fridges, dishwasher and washer/drier. A set of stairs takes you down to a cosy lounge on the lower ground floor, equipped with a TV, DVD and Chromecast. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, one double and one bunk room, together with a bathroom with shower over bath and separate WC. Another set of stairs leads to the second floor with the master bedroom, which has a king-sized bed and an en-suite with shower and WC. From here there’s a lovely view out to sea. The interior is enhanced by original abstract artwork by the cottage owner, who also exhibits at the Staithes Gallery, which is an impressive contemporary gallery just a few doors away.

There is a small, enclosed backyard and a bench outside the front door, but no other outside space. Luggage and shopping can be unloaded at the front door, but cars must be parked in one of the public or private car parks (Bank Top) at the top of the old village (about 500metres away) accessed via a steep hill.
