  • "We had the best break at Pinjarra."

    A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. So many thoughtful touches from the owner from treats (for humans and dogs), to the dog towel provided and the « stuff drawer » with sewing kit, Elastoplast tape, notepaper etc. Loads of helpful information too. It’s a property where making sure you enjoy your stay is clearly important. We won’t hesitate to book again

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such an encouraging and lovely review. Very much appreciated. Property Owner

  • "A lovely cottage, very comfortable, clean, and well thought out."

    We had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was cold and very windy when we stayed and the electric heaters were great for warming the rooms up quickly. Staithes was lovely with coast path in both directions and lovely coves and beaches to visit. We would highly recommend both the cottage and the village.

    Delighted you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will visit again soon. Property Owner

  • "Lovely historic cottage in a beautiful village with so much history it was like going back in time."

    Cottage was adapted to modern life in a very sympathetic way which we loved, very warm and cosy loved the space in bathroom and main bedroom beautiful. People very friendly and helpful. Parking space premium for off loading and loading but we preferred then to leave in car park which was free at the time as obviously village not built for cars this was all part of the holiday like you would expect at Robin Hoods Bay . You can walk straight on to the Cleveland Way to Runswick Bay beautiful and interesting. Our dogs had a great time. I did all my Christmas food shopping in the local Co-op they were so friendly and accommodating, you could easily walk there for a few bits and the short hill got us fitter. Enjoyed very much miss the cottage.

  • "It's the first time we have been to Pinjarra and the first time we have used Sykes."

    The Sykes process was excellent. We also commend the owners of Pinjarra who sent us very detailed information about the cottage and the area in advance which was a really nice touch. We loved Staithes and the surrounding area and I'm sure we'll come back to Pinjarra soon to explore further. It's a great cottage, well equipped and right inside the maze of paths in the old part of Staithes. It is also one of very few cottages with a parking space.

    Thank you for your lovely comments. We hope that you will return to Pinjarra soon. Property Owner

  • "Pinjarra was a lovely property and huge thought and effort has gone into all it provides."

    We were extremely comfortable and so were our 2 dogs. The position right next to The Cleveland Way and with a view down Church Street to the harbour was a big bonus. The listed property has great charm and interest. You feel at home in it. It combines age with cleanliness and up-to-date facilities. There was plenty of very useful information and this made our stay easier and meant we made the most of everything. If the weather had been poor, there were lots of books and dvds! You need to have reasonable mobility for the stairs but we are in our 70s and managed fine, and naturally this is relevant anywhere in Staithes. For very many reasons this is one of the best properties we have ever stayed in and we cannot really praise it it too highly.

    Thank you for your extremely kind and encouraging Feedback. We hope that you will enjoy another stay at a future date. Property Owner

  • "We loved the cottage."

    It was characterful, roomy, cosy and in a fabulous position if you don't mind walking up steep streets. The kitchen was well stocked and bright/modern and the remainder of the rooms/furnishings were very much in keeping with the age of the property and clean and well cared for. It is obviously well loved by the owners and had a wealth of information of about all things local, including walks and places to visit. It was so easy to pop out the front door and walk to the harbour, or up to the cliffs for a beautiful view over Staithes. Parking wasn't too much of an issue considering the location but we decided to leave the car where it was for the week and travel by bus (good bus service approx 15 mins walk) to avoid driving through the narrow streets and meeting oncoming traffic. We very much enjoyed our stay at Pinjarra and would happily go back.

  • "Lovely cottage ."

    Ideal for exploring the local area. The owners have been very helpful in their efforts to give visitors a helpful insight into the history of Staithes. Would recommend the property but be wary if you intend to use the car as it may not be suitable for everyone to navigate the tight lanes.

    Thank you. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. The quaint cobbled streets are part of the charm of Staithes. However, they were not designed for modern vehicles. Pinjarra is fortunate as it is one of the few properties able to offer a private parking space. Property Owner

  • "We absolutely loved our stay at pinjarra and wouldn't hesitate to come again."

    The cottage had everything you could need and was in an excellent position for walking to the harbour or onto the Cleveland way. The local coop shop is only a short walk away with easy access to the path just up the hill. We arrived Friday and didn't drive anywhere till Wednesday having walked to Runswick Bay and back and we also had a day exploring the old buildings on the beach at Port Mulgrave (quite a climb back up but well worth the effort). This cottage was excellent for walking my little dog along the cliffs in a large loop and back to the farm catching some beautiful sun rises.

    Thank you for the lovely review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will return for another stay. Property Owner

  • "A fantastic cosy cottage in a prime village location."

    The property is situated at the top of a characterful cobbled street with access to the Cleveland Way right on the doorstep. At the bottom of the hill is The Cod and Lobster pub which serves top quality sea food and other dishes. It's a place to come for tranquility and rest and reminded us of the set of Doc Martin. I wouldn't say it is a place to come for a typical seaside holiday with children. While there is a small beach which forms part of the harbour, it's not suitable for swimming but there are plenty of other places within a short drive. The cottage itself was perfect for us and probably the best equipped we have ever stayed in. The quarry tiled floor downstairs is perfect for dogs, whilst the bedrooms are immaculate and very comfortable. The bed was perfect. Whilst there is no garden as such, having the start of the Cleveland path on the doorstep made up for this when meeting dogs' needs. The parking spot is a great bonus in a village where there is very little other than a pay car park. The only thing I will say is that whilst the Parking space is adequate anything other than a family saloon will struggle to turn out if the 4 bays opposite are occupied. Large SUV owners be warned...

  • "We have had a superb stay in Staithes courtesy of Jack and Jill in their lovely cottage."

    The cottage is immaculate and has everything you could wish for plus some very considerate little touches that make your stay just that bit more special. It's really quiet - all you can hear is the sea and the occasional seagull - very safe, and on the Cleveland Way which suited us perfectly. Other things to point out - the cottage is dog friendly, the front of the cottage is a fantastic sun trap and we spent many an afternoon sitting there enjoying the sunshine, it has a car parking space (you may wonder why I have mentioned it but parking is at a premium in the village), the nearby pub, The Cod and Lobster, has a fantastic menu (particularly the seafood) and really friendly staff, and, last but not least, you are a 2 minute walk from the harbour. I would 100% recommend Pinjarra for peace, tranquility, and soaking up the atmosphere in beautiful Staithes.

The property

Pinjarra is a rustic Grade II listed cottage with rich history, having once been home to the young Laura Johnson, who later became the renowned artist Dame Laura Knight DBE RA RW.

In the late 1800s, she lived here for a period and created her art as part of the Staithes Group, also known as the Northern Impressionists.

A perfect setting for those looking to connect with the area's artistic heritage situated in the picturesque North York Moors National Park in the quaint village of Staithes, North Yorkshire.

Boasting an elevated position with pleasing views, off-road parking, and welcoming two well-behaved dogs, it’s perfect for small families or friends seeking a coastal retreat.

Upon entering Pinjarra, you will be greeted by the inviting sitting room, where you can unwind in front of the TV, all under the characterful charm of exposed beams.

Moving through the property up two steps, you will find the well-equipped kitchen, ready for you to prepare your favourite meals.

Adjacent to the sitting room is the dining room, comfortably seating three guests, where you can enjoy your culinary creations under the rustic charm of more exposed beams.

When the day draws to a close, retire to one of the two inviting bedrooms, accessed by different staircases, a double and a single, both offering a serene space to rest after a day of exploration.

The property also benefits from a bathroom, complete with a bath and shower-over, basin and WC, providing a space to freshen up before or after your day's adventures.

Outside, you'll discover a fence Yorkshire stoned patio area, complete with a bench, ideal for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink To the front of the property up two steps, there is an additional raised patio area, offering great views of the surrounding area, making it an ideal spot to relax and take in the picturesque scenery.

When you can pull yourself away from the inviting comforts of Pinjarra, take leisurely strolls through the historic streets of Staithes, once the home of Captain Cook.

Visit the Staithes Museum, a cultural treasure trove which offers captivating insights into the village's heritage.

Don't miss out on a traditional seaside meal at the famed Cod & Lobster, serving locally-sourced seafood that you simply can't resist.

Venture a little further afield to explore the atmospheric ruins of Whitby Abbey, a must-visit destination famed for its connection to Bram Stoker's Dracula and its phenomenal outlook over the coast.

Back at Pinjarra, as day melts into star-studded night, you will find this beautiful retreat waiting to welcome you home.

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, with 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. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff 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.
