Clevelyn

Beautiful cottage.

So we'll equipped. Feels like a home from home. Kitchen lovely and sociable. Again super well equipped. Super views from the back of the cottage. Had a slight issue with radiator but contacted the numbers left. The team replied really quickly, was very impressed. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay at Cleveland cottage.

We have been coming to Staithes for over 10 years, travelling up from The North west but this is the first time we have stayed. We booked for my wife's birthday with the kids and dog in tow and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage is deceptively large, and your wouldn't think there is as much space when looking from the outside. The location is perfect for exploring Staithes and just far enough up the hill to walk off your tea! We will definitely be back.

The cottage itself was lovely and was as described.

We didn't arrive until 17:00 on the Tuesday night and the cottage was absolutely freezing; the heaters were not the easiest to work, with the one in the main bedroom being the hardest to operate. There was a handful of kindling and no logs whatsoever for the log burner. I realise that you have to get your own, but you usually have enough to last the first night. This would have been a nice gesture as the heating had not been left on, not even on low in the living room. The front door was a huge issue. It was rotten to the point that when I pulled it to lock it, the handle came off in my hand. Due to this, the lock was then not aligned and it could not be used. We could not lock the front door and ended up having to leave it unlocked but bolted from the inside and use the back door. Staithes is beautiful; we would recommend the chippy, The George for food and the Cod and Lobster for a welcome drink. We would return to Staithes but have stayed in nicer cottages and so would not return to the Clevelyn.

The house was very clean and was well presented and equipped.

The only difficulty was with opening and locking the front door. The door had to be slammed to close and if not shut properly the key wouldn’t lock the door. By the end of the holiday we had mastered it but worried that we were disturbing the neighbours.

Lovely property, liked the open fire and little treat biscuits.

Nice location and view of the sea

The cottage was well positioned in the village, spotlessly clean given how many nooks and crannies it had, every need catered for, more basics (bin bags, toilet rolls etc) than expected.

The beds were very clean and comfortable. Took a bit of an effort to get the heating working but detailed instructions worked. We had one crisis, lost the key, which was kindly and efficiently dealt with. Thank you Keith and the lady that drove to Whitby for the spare. Wonderful holiday in an old cottage in a beautiful and friendly old fishing village. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you Clevelyn.

Amazing location and perfect as a base for 2 blokes walking Cleveland Way.

We had a lovely time in this house.

Everything we needed was there. It was lovely and comfortable the beds were comfy, anytime I went looking for something I found it. I have nothing negative to say about the house- we’ve stayed in a few in staithes and this was the nicest so far! It mightn’t be the best for the very old or young because the stairs are steep but my gang are grown up enough to manage them. The house was a perfect comfortable base and we all liked it and will be back.

Fantastic base for staying in the village or going out further.

Everything you could need was there and so many lovely touches. We will definitely be going back x

Absolutely filthy.

Complained about it to the owner. The property manager was sent round. I was told that they only do 2 deep cleans a year and although it needed one, it wasn't scheduled. Dust all over the sills, mould in the bathroom, hairs in the bedding and grease in the kitchen. And it has nothing to do with the fact that 2 dishwasher tablets were left - although, as I told the owner, it's unusual to not be left 1 per day. Certainly a quirky property, but take your marigolds. Don't expect Skyes to deal with any complaint you make efficiently. It's a shame I can't upload photos.

Great place to unwind and some great walks

Have stayed in multiple places in Staithes over the years and Clevelyn is definitely one of the best for space and comfort.

Kitchen well kitted-out, nice living room.

This was our second visit to Clevelyn and we had a fabulous time.

Milk, bread and cookies waiting for us on arrival. Unfortunately I damaged a light fitting in the house due to my own clumsiness, I spoke with the owner who was so understanding and kind. I offered to pay for the damages and was told "these things happen, don't you worry, go enjoy the rest of your holiday " so lovely of her. Thank you, we will be back

A really well located holiday home that’s surprisingly roomy yet still cosy.

The kitchen was very well equipped which was really appreciated, and each of the bedrooms was so cosy and made for a great night’s sleep. We couldn’t find the back door key but that was probably just us being daft, everything else was made so easy by the instruction email. Very much enjoyed our stay in your wonderful home and we’d love to come back again.

We absolutely loved this place, comfortable, full of chatacter and tastefully furnished, we didn't want to leave!

Really appreciated the milk and bread which was kindly left for us by the owners. It was cold when we first arrived and took some time to warm up, it could have been more welcoming if the heating had been on in advance of our arrival. Otherwise, though, everything was perfect.We fell in love with Staithes and will be back.

We (4 adults) stayed at Clevelyn for 5 nights.

We had a very comfortable stay in the cottage. Everything was as described. The cottage is very well situated for the village. However, we would recommend booking the private car par in the peak season as you cannot park in the main village. We would recommend Clevelyn and Staithes as somewhere to see and visit.

Wonderful weeks stay in this lovely traditional seaside cottage.

Clevelyn is in such a perfect location and is spacious, very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Thank you for the welcome pack too which was much appreciated! The place does need a little painting and new carpet in areas but this didn’t spoil our enjoyment. Will certainly highly recommend the cottage to friends and family! Great communication and info from Sykes during booking too, thank you. I must mention the parking though which we found quite a pain to be honest. Two options for parking. Council at £6 for 24 hours and an alternative at £16!! No matter what time we got back the council park was always full! Waited over half hour for space one evening and then over 20 mins the following day! Then didn’t want to use car again for rest of week for fear of not getting a space. We used buses thereafter which thankfully was a really good efficient service! I noticed a resident only parking area adjacent to car park which was always half full. Just a suggestion but could a parking permit be obtained for guests and cost of this added to the price of cottage??

Comfortable family home we loved Staithes.

Lovely cottage.

Kitchen/dining room fully stocked with all the cooking equipment needed for an army. (I didn't do any, as I was only their for the weekend, but cupboards were full). Staithes has a (short) steep hill from the car park, but an easy walk into the village shops. Short drive to Whitby and Saltburn beach. Ideally placed for the Cleveland way with buses returning from Whitby etc.

The property was far better than any dog friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in, it was very clean, comfortable and well appointed.

The location was perfect very close to the centre of staithes and 2 of the pubs which both served amazing food. We had a wonderful week and we will definately return.

We had a great break at the cottage.

Just missed an outside space for dog.

Very spacious cottage, clean & comfortable enjoyed it so much we’re already looking at when we can book again

A lovely cottage minutes from the seafront and centre of Staithes.

Plenty of room for a couple with two children. A great Christmas in the cottage with thoughtful decorations provided for the festive period.

We had a lovely comfortable stay in Clevelyn cottage.

It is very well equipped with just about everything you could need. Missed not having a pair of scissors and a measuring jug in the kitchen. Would like information pack to be left more prominent with how to turn heaters on as it took us quite a while to find the switches and cottage was really cold on our arrival. We have stayed in several cottages in staithes and found the Clevelyn to meet all our needs in space and comfort. Hope very much to visit again next year

Very good

Great base, staithes is a beautiful little harbour town with quaint shops and two lovely pubs.

Visited Whitby, Scarborough, Robin Hood bay and goth land where they filmed heartbeat. The holiday cottage, was very clean and comfortable with all the home comforts you require for a week away from home.

We had a lovely holiday staying in 'Clevelyn', which was very comfortable and well equipped as well as being a delightful cottage.

I think it makes a huge difference to the standard of the property when the owners actually use the property themselves. We were very fortunate in this respect and the reviews and comments I have posted reflect the care and attention given to this property by the owners.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Clevelyn and it didn’t disappoint.

Beautiful, comfortable accommodation and very supportive and responsive owners. We’ll be back

Lovely cottage, in a beautiful setting.

Well equipped and very comfortable cottage. Had a great stay.

This is the third year running we have stayed in this cottage.

Absolutely love everything about it especially the location.

We struggled to work out how to turn the radiators on.

.. probably just us being daft but an instruction tag might be helpful for future guests. Really lovely and cosy once they were on though and so much bigger than it looked on the photos. Great location too in the centre of the village

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, I was a little concerned when I read a previous customers comments but I needn't be.

The cottage is in a lovely spot in Staithes. There were 5 of us that stayed and there was more than enough room. We loved that the property is over 4 floors. We did have a couple of queries while we were staying in the property and the owner quickly responded and sorted them out. If we stayed at Staithes again we would consider returning to this property

What a great location and a thumbs up to the owners and cleaners,Wii’s definitely be back

Clevelyn was a beautiful house, very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated.

It was equipped with everything you could need for weekend or longer stays. 3 great pubs within a short walk, definitely eat at the George and Cod and Lobster. You can catch the bus at the top of the hill into Whitby and surrounding villages which are worth the trip. Staithes is a beautiful seaside village and very friendly. We will definitely be back.

The cottage itself is very quaint and quirky .

However it was very dirty . The kitchen cupboard doors were filthy the oven was a disgrace bathrooms the same . I had to spend a hour cleaning before we could relax . And this during Covid times when I would have expected everywhere to be sterile clean on arrival ! Once cleaned we enjoyed are stay very much . Lovely location !

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Perfect for a family of four.

Having missed out on Staithes last year and our normal bolt hole no longer available, we chose Clevelyn.

we were not disappointed. An excellent house with all the facilities. 6 of us were accommodated easily and all being well we'll be back next year. One request. There are plenty of signs saying Mind Your Head on the way down to and up from the kitchen, my bald scalp says I didn't on a number of occasions. Please could you put a bit of padding on the offending bits.

Amazing property.

Very well equipped, it feels like a home rather than a holiday let. Loved it!

We have been well overdue our holiday this year having both been working from home since the onset of the pandemic.

We have holidayed in Staithes before and were really looking forward to our visit this year. Clevelyn didnt disappoint. First and foremost from the second we walked through the door we knew the place was clean, it smelt it! The kitchen was spotless with freshly pressed tea towels and a new dish sponge. ( I had brought all of my own things in case I needed to use them but there really was no need). The bedrooms and bathroom were all beautiful made up and the lounge was just so comfortable - we relaxed immediately. The weather was poor but who cares about that, we still went on cliff top walks and adventures and we still managed to have amazing food in the Cod and Lobster and pints in the Royal George. I love the little butcher shop and stuffed my face with chocolates from the deli. A proper holiday and just what we needed. We will be back !

Wonderful cottage, great location, beautifully decorated.

We had a fabulous holiday at Staithes, would definitely stay at Clevelyn again.

Lovely premises and very comfortable little things like decorations welcome pack fishing net and games helped us have a special week thank - you

A residents parking permit would be great as to pay for your seven day ticket at £70 you need to go online.

The signal is not always great and if you couldn't get a signal at time of arrival you may struggle as the only other option would be to pay with change. The cost would be added to the rentals weekly cost. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. It really is a lovely location (if a little hard on the legs) and we would def recommend to friends and family and return again.

It was a wonderful holiday cottage.

Was surprised it was over four floors with kitchen in basement! Cute fisherman's cottage in perfect location in Staithes.

The cottage is beautiful and roomy .

Everything you need inside .

The location was brilliant.

2 minutes to get to local pub and grandsons loved crabbing. The whole family loved the quaintness of the cottage. Grandsons particularly liked the lighthouse bedside lamp in their room. Small touches.

Lovely cottage in the beautiful Staiths.

The cottage came equipped with everything we needed. Had a great holiday thank you so much.

Well What can I say this cottage is just wonderful , this is the 3rd time we been and we took friends with us this time who also have now fallen in love with the cottage .

It has everything you need . It just feels like you at home , I could happily live there .we will be back soon

A beautifully furnished cottage with everything you need in a great location.

It’s our favourite cottage by far in the 4 years we have been going to staithes

A lovely quirky cottage in a beautiful village, the cottage was furnished really nicely and the bed extremely warm and comfortable

Absolutely fantastic!

The owners have thought of everything! Great location of the property, really clean, all amenities you will need! Thinking of returning for a weekend in January! Would highly recommend.

Slightly disappointed in Clevelyn, Staithes.

Lovely village, however I wasn’t fully aware of the extra cost of the daily parking (£5 per day) which added to the cost of the holiday. I feel this should be made aware of in the cottage info. Whilst the cottage had been refurbished in places, new furniture/ kitchen etc, it was also quite grubby in other areas. The windows were very dirty so too areas in the kitchen cupboards/drawers. The toilet in the main bathroom had a tendency to block and the hot water in the evenings ran out. Also felt the bed linen in the double bedroom on the top floor was of a poor quality. All in all , frustratingly the property let itself down which is a shame.

Lovely cottage, great value for money.

Lived the little extras

We had an absolutely amazing weekend away .

The cottage is just perfect. It has all the home comforts you need it’s like a home away from home . It’s ideally situated a short walk from the car park and a sort walk to the coffee shop,pubs and shops . We went for a beautiful walk , had a trip to Whitby and a couple of drinks in the pubs We will definitely be back .

Fabulous cottage in a fabulous location.

Originally from the area I wanted a base to show my partner and children the sights. We have four boys ranging from 14 to 13 weeks and the cottage was ideal. The boys loved exploring the four floors and having their own rooms on the top floor. The facilities were great and catered for our every need. The cottage was very tastefully decorated with lovely little touches. The only ‘issues’ that some people need to consider is that there is no parking at the property and the stairs are quite steep. Both of these are highlighted in the Cottages’s description and weren’t a problem for us. We sourced local free parking and actually enjoyed the stroll to and from the cars each day. Staithes itself is beautiful. The kids loved playing in the harbour and the river behind the cottage. There is a butchers and sweet shop minutes walk from the cottage and a Co-op and fish and chip shop within walking distance. Out of Staithes we visited Saltburn, Runswick Bay, Falling Foss , Sandsend and Whitby and all were an easy drive away.

Great house and location.

More picture of the front and back and the hill the house is on would have been good to have seen

Location of the cottage is excellent, literally a 2 mins walk to the beach.

A great base for exploring the area.

Love, love, love Clevelyn and the charming village of Staithes.

Just what we needed for a family break.

Clevelyn is a lovely cosy cottage, with lots of lovely features and home comforts.

A group of us went for a 50th birthday, a great space to cook and eat in the kitchen, lovely log burner, comfortable bedrooms and a great location. Lots of great walks from the door and a lovely local pub or two! highly recommended.

A bit dusty in this cottage Windows needed cleaning A bin was needed in the en suite A dishcloth wasn’t left in the kitchen

Lovely well appointed cottage in ideal location.

Cleaner was still there after 3pm and I think rushed a bit. The fire place didn't look like it had been cleared in weeks as we had to clear out a lot of compressed ash. No logs or lighters provided which would have been a nice welcome. Ensuite shower room and separate bathroom were really good although the amount of hot water in the cylinder only allowed a small volume of water in the bath before it cooled off. Overall very good and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Really lovely cottage with all you could possibly need and more in a really beautiful part of the world.

We stayed over Christmas and owners supplied a Christmas tree and decorations which was a really nice touch. We all had a wonderful holiday (including Moomin the dog) will definatley return

Fantastic area for a winter break.

Fabulous weekend, this is our 7th visit to Staithes and Clevelyn has been the best accommodation by far.

We will be back!!
