Pinjarra

A really wonderful, comfy and cosy cottage - beautifully situated at the very top of the lane leading to the Cleveland Way.

Lovely connection with the artist Laura Knight. Inside and out, the cottage had everything we needed. Very comfortable furnishings and beds, lovely array of books and dvds, beautiful views.

I appreciate that the property is on narrow Church Street but a better description of where the cottage is would be helpful ie it is on the left hand side elevated from the road because it can’t be seen from car.

The same for the parking space which isn’t obviously a parking space and it doesn’t have a sign on it. All the parking places on the right are signed with the cottage names. If I had parked fully in the parking space I wouldn’t have been able to open the doors! On entering the property there is a very musty smell although it is clean. I would not describe the cottage as dog friendly. Dogs are part of the family and would get distressed if not allowed to be with their owners at night. Health & safety: The quarry tiled floor on the ground floor is dangerous. The steps from the kitchen into the lounge, the raised hearth which protrudes a metre into the lounge & the step at the bottom of the stairs are all the same colour which means they are all difficult to see whilst getting used to the cottage and are a trip hazard. Staithes itself is a lovely village but just lacks a convenience store.

We loved our week in Staithes, just lovely.

Pinjarra suited us down to the ground, comfortable, well equipped and good info provided. Lots of walking, beautiful scenery but also worth visiting Saltburn and Whitby. Obviously drive to cottage and parking is a challenge but very thankful for the parking spot. Lovely to sit and watch the sun go down or eat wonderful fish and chips at The Cod and Lobster overlooking the harbour. Don’t miss the deli either. We will definitely be back, thank you.

Lovely cottage in a lovely little village.

Ideal for a couples holiday. Highly recommend.

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

Excellent location on the Cleveland way.

Lovely variety of walks. The information left by the owners was concise and very useful, particularly the walks and clarity on the stairs and parking were clear.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting.

Pet friendly and cosy

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.

The cottage was spacious, warm, comfortable and cosy, the parking space larger than expected and very easy to navigate.

The location was fantastic, the Cleveland Way path accessible from the doorstep and a short stroll down to the harbour.

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.

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.

Great location, especially for walking the canine friend.

Delightfully quiet, yet close to the harbour and pub. Quirky inside but builds on village history. A little treasure

Very comfortable we found it told a great deal of history which was facinating the bottom step to the staircase was deceiving being the same tiles as living area flooring the car park space to house could be improved overall a pleasant stay.

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.

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.

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...

An excellent property.

Very comfortable and clean. Allowing 2 dogs is a plus as is the available parking space. Excellent information pack with walk details and information on where to eat. A good welcoming pack. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location.

Lovely peaceful location top of cobbled street, parking a great bonus.

Friendly local neighbours. Short stroll to village harbour

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.
