  • "We had an amazing week here!"

    The warm welcome touches were much appreciated. The cottage had everything we needed for the week and more. I think the cottage was even nicer in person than the pictures and we couldn't have asked for anything more. It was lovely to sit outside and eat breakfast/have a coffee in the morning and take in the beautiful surroundings. My son loved taking a walk to see the sheep and we saw a few hares running around. He didn't want to leave and he wants to go back to honey bee cottage soon.

  • "A very clean, well equipped and comfortable little cottage, which was ideal for 2 adults and a medium size dog."

    Large secure exercise area for dog but not immediately outside the cottage so had to be accompanied for any outside exercise. Would certainly consider returning again if holidaying in the area.

  • "The cottage was in a secluded place away from the main road , making it very peaceful and despite being a mid terrace cottage , we could not hear any neighbours."

    It was well equipped, comfortable bed , and furnishings and had all the normal kitchen facilities .There was a fenced paddock field around the back where the dog could run freely , she absolutely loved that space. Nice landlords , welcoming and helpful.Location of the cottage is not too far from all the accessible beaches and towns to visit , and dog friendly pubs are close within 10 miles and great food served in all.It was better than expected , and we loved our short break at Honey Bee , would recommend to others who want to get away from the hustle and bustle .

    The hosts Pippa and Graham were helpful and friendly but not intrusive. Delicious cakes were provided for our arrival and little touches like bubble bath made it feel special. The Honey Bee cottage is well equipped but not cluttered. The grounds were incredible, with beautiful views in every direction. It was a perfect escape from the city hustle and bustle with peace and solitude, the perfect tonic. I miss the deer and rabbits and the seals. The waterfalls were beautiful and we loved Robin Hoods Bay which was a easy drive. I dont like to go the same place twice, but I would go back to this cottage right now, if I could.

  • "We had a really lovely stay at Honey Bee Cottage."

    Stunning location, dog-friendly, local walks from the door and perfect for exploring the Yorkshire coast and dales. Hosts are friendly and welcoming. Cottage is small but cosy, and doesn’t feel cramped. Lovely shared garden with lots of nooks and crannies: the spring flowers were stunning! Beware the low beams if you are tall (and even if you’re not tall!). As others have said, the kitchen tap takes a bit of getting used to!! You do have to hunt around to find things as there are little cupboards tucked away in nooks and crannies: the hoover is a hand held cordless one and lives in the bathroom cupboard. The washing machine is under the stairs. Staintondale is very pretty and there is an honesty shop selling eggs and another selling logs. There are lots of pubs in the area but you will need to drive or be prepared for a long walk.

  • "From the moment we drive into the village, down the access road, saw the ponies and sheep and set foot into the cottage we knew we had made a mistake………."

    .a 3 night mini break would not be enough to enjoy this beautiful cottage, grounds and surrounding locations. For us, the cottage was in a great location, pretty central to many of the places we wanted to visit. Being able to get up close to the beautiful sheep was special and the two boys took an instant liking to our very friendly (and cowardly!) fluffy JRT, following him around. The highland cattle were an amazing sight too. The cottage had everything that we could have possibly needed and was very thoughtfully set out. We still hadn’t got used to the kitchen taps by the time we’d left though, as they turned the opposite way to what we are used to, so we frequently got a surprise dosing, but this wasn’t an issue. The owners, Graham and Pippa are very helpful and friendly with their local knowledge. We are hoping to be able to return for a longer visit next year to this amazing cottage in its idyllic setting. Thank you to Graham and Pippa!

    It is smaller than it looks in the photos. Well equipped to a very high standard. Pippa and Graham the owners very helpful with routes for walking etc and good pubs. Area outstanding, very quiet and some beautiful walks. Not keen on sharing garden so close to next door but did not affect us as we were out most of the time. Could be an issue for some people in summer. All in all good holiday thanks for the lovely cakes on arrival and milk in fridge and teabags etc. Very welcome

    Pleased you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful surrounding area. Worth noting, although the immediate lawn is shared, there are 10 acres of land to roam, with several benches near the cottage in a private setting. Property Owner

  • "Finding the place was extremely bad ."

    Postcode takes you to the edge of the village nowhere near the property . The main Farm is hard enough to find and then on arrival just a pebble with the name of the cottage . Arriving dusk as well it was extremely hard to find . Also I think lighting should be arranged has it’s a very uneven path with steps . I know it’s only a small cottage unfortunately our 3rd person couldn’t come because of illness . Although the single rooms would of been way to small fro comfort for her . I also feel that having such a lovely log burning stove ( which we lit and enjoyed ) .. the furniture could be a little more comfortable for chilling out Other than that it was an enjoyable stay .

    Thank you for your comments and I am sorry you had trouble finding the cottage, but the directions advise that the Sat Nav does not bring you to the property, just to the village as it is for several properties and precise directions to the property are provided. The name of the property is located on a full-size horizontal gatepost stone four feet long, visible in the property photographs. There is an automatic light that comes on too. In the description of the property, it does say the single rooms are suitable for children and shows you an image , but we do sometimes have adults that use them. I am sorry you didn’t find the furniture comfortable - the sofa and chairs are actually new and high quality - sadly we can’t please everyone all of the time although we do try our best.

    The cottage is cosy but with two young boys, was ideal for us. Everything inside the cottage is of a high spec, we were not expecting this. You have everything you could need for a home away from home and the surrounding area is wonderful! Our children played together in the garden, grassed areas and fields near by and thoroughly enjoyed meeting the resident cows and ponies. The location is perfect for days out to Scarborough and Whitby but you can also walk straight from the cottage through beautiful scenery - we walked to Ravenscar tea rooms and enjoyed a cream tea while overlooking the sea before heading down to seal beach - a must see!

The property

A pretty, stone semi-detached property, imaginatively converted from former farm buildings on the owners' smallholding, in the peaceful village of Staintondale, half way between Whitby and Scarborough.

Sympathetically restored, this Staintondale cottage is just perfect for a romantic holiday or a small family break.

This delightful Staintondale cottage oozes charm and character, with exposed timbers, boarded doors and quirky low windows.

Tastefully furnished, the cosy open plan living area has a warming woodburning stove, small dining area and well-equipped kitchen, providing very comfortable accommodation.

Outside this Staintondale cottage is a shared lawned area - a lovely spot to sit and relax in the sun and to take in the glorious panoramic views over open countryside, forestry and sea.

Guests are welcome to explore the fields and wood and meet the friendly Shetland ponies, the Highland cows and the black sheep!

With a network of public footpaths straight from the door, this wonderful location is a walker's paradise.

Enjoy the many delights of the area including hidden coves and beaches, exhilarating cliff top walks and coastal villages such as Ravenscar and Robin Hood's Bay.

Be sure to allow time to drive five minutes to Ravenscar, where you can walk down to the foot of the cliffs to view the seal colony - a wonderful sight, not to be missed.

Ideally placed, a lovely Staintondale cottage to recharge the batteries all year round.

Note: This property adjoins Ref. 1196 and together they can accommodate up to 8 people.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
