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 and there is 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. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliffside 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.

The Property: The Cottage, Beckside

A lovely, traditional property, The Cottage is one of a row of quaint fishermen's cottages situated next to Roxby Beck in Staithes. It's a pretty setting with boats moored across the beck from the cottage and Staithes' famous craggy cliffs as a backdrop. The footbridge is close by allowing visitors to cross to either side of the harbour and the village shops, pubs etc are just a 2 minute walk. Inside the property is cosy and welcoming, with a multifuel stove in the sitting room and pretty views over the beckside path to the beck, boats and cliffs beyond. A lovely cottage, full of charm and character!
