Description
Hinderwell House is a lovely, 1832 cottage perched on the North Yorkshire coast, in the beautiful fishing village of Staithes. Close to amenities and breathtaking views of the North Sea, this property sleeps two and is perfect for couples seeking a relaxing retreat. Step into a welcoming, open-plan living space where you'll whip up your favourite meals in the well-equipped kitchen, with dinner dates around the dining table, before cuddling up by the woodburning stove to watch your favourite movies on the Smart TV. Wake up early from a restful night in the double bed's soft linens, take a steaming shower to freshen up, then make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and sit on the patio to watch the sun go up before heading out on an adventure-filled day. You'll find plenty of things to see and do in the stunning village of Staithes; head to Cod & Lobster, a seaside pub to have a taste of some local seafood,
partake of afternoon tea and delicious cakes at Dotty's Vintage Tearoom, marvel at the art displayed in Staithes Gallery, and for a taste of history head over to Staithes Museum. Drive down to the gorgeous seaside town of Whitby and visit the ruins Whitby Abbey, once a source of inspiration to many known poets and writers, then see if you can manage the climb up the 199 Steps - those brave enough to do so will be rewarded with amazing, sweeping views of the town and harbour. Don your bathing suits and lounge in the sun at Whitby Beach, or make your way to Whitby Whale Watching for a boat trip along the sea where you might spot some sea creatures. Lovers of nature can set off to the North York Moors National Park, where you'll be spoilt for choice for walks, hikes and scenic points. Start off at Mulgrave Woods, where you'll be able to walk past the ruins of Mulgrave Castle, then Mallyan Spout Waterfall and then head to the National Trust's Bridestones, Crosscliff & Blakey Topping, for vast and undisturbed views of the park. Hinderwell House is the perfect base for a new adventure with your loved one.

What guests are saying
This property is perfect for 2 able bodied people.
I would not recommend to anyone who has difficulty on stairs (or hills). The stairs are narrow and turn, making it awkward to navigate. And mind your head if you are tall! The cottage was relatively clean appart from the bannisters, they were grubby and sticky as everyone obviously uses them as a handrail. When we arrived my partner had trouble parking as there's very few spaces to stop and unload at the cottage, you then have to drive back up the hill to park in the guest car park. This was full one day. Not great. Beware if you have a large or long car, turning around in the old village can present a problem, especially if you aren't a confident driver or if it's busy. There were no welcome items in the cottage, tea coffee or milk. I've stayed in many self catering cottages and always had at least a few teabags, coffee or sugar sachets left for guests, usually milk too if the shop is far away, which it is here, or you arrive late in the day. It makes a surprising difference to have this consideration. Especially when you pay such a lot to stay. There wasn't handsoap in the bathroom either. I've never had that before, we had to use our shower gel. Very flimsy toilet seat, it kept sliding to the side, be careful, and go prepared. Otherwise, there is everything you need. We didn't cook other than breakfast, so can't say what this would be like but there looked to be plenty of pots and pans etc. We were only there a few nights so ate at the local pubs, which were all very good. Plenty of choice. The bed was very comfortable, extra blankets if you need them. Lots of storage, hairdryer and iron. The area is spectacular and fantastic if you love walking, but be prepared for very steep hills wherever you go! If you dont mind waking early, the sunrises over the ocean are worth getting up for, amazing. The cottage is a great base to see lots in the area, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Saltburn. We saw loads of buses while driving, so if you want to leave your car or don't drive there looks to be a good coastal service. Overall, we had a lovely couple of days.
Comfortable, cost cottage with all amenities and perfectly situated for a holiday in Staithes
Generally a very nice place to stay.
1st impressions very good. We read the comments “book”, and some were talking of poor cleanliness, which we initially found unjustified. 2 days in we did notice a bit of grubbiness. I felt moved to give the outside of the kettle a clean, and more importantly the grill pan and griddle, even though we never used it. But generally the cottage was clean. A cruet set might have been nice. Minor gripes, easily addressed by asking the cleaners to be more diligent. We would stay again, based on value for money and location.
