Description
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.

What guests are saying
Great position with ability to sit out in the afternoon sun.
Loved the Yorkshire welcome treats! Lots of information about Laura Knight and Staithes history .We took the car but left it there all week. We took the bus up and down the coast in order to walk parts of the Cleveland Way.
I had lovely stay in Pinjarra, waliking drawing and relaxing.
I have been visiting Staithes since I was a little girl. I am now 81. This was one of the my best stays. Handy for the beautiful harbour and the Cleveland way to take in the gorgeous views along the clifftop. I thought it was privilege to stay in a cottage once owned by Laura Knight. I would definitely stay here again.
A delightful home-from-home.
Pinjarra is well situated for accessing the coastal footpath/Cleveland Way as well as Staithes beach, shops, cafes, etc. and has the real benefit of off-road parking in Staithes Old Town - a rare thing. The cottage is well equipped in terms of facilities, kitchenware etc. The Information Pack is very thorough and clear and I really appreciated the owners sending me a copy of it via email in the week before my booking started. I am happy to recommend Pinjarra to others and would definitely re-book it if wanting to stay in Staithes again.
