  • "This is an excellent dog (and human) friendly property!"

    We found this at short notice and reduced price on the Sykes website - search filters narrowed down selection easily. With just two adults plus small dog the Old Police House had plenty of room inside and out. A large main bathroom with super shower and plenty of towel rail space, very clean and spacious. Living room area again generous and dining area with expanding table and space for six. Small conservatory area with doors to dog secure garden also a pleasant space to relax. Kitchen area nicely finished and plenty of crockery/cutlery, all white goods appeared very new and clean, dishwasher particularly welcome. Heating was very efficient, easy to control, plenty of hot water too! Upstairs in separate area off landing, washing machine and dryer also very new and clean. After reading the description and reviews for parking I was a little sceptical about how this would work out but needn’t have worried - plenty of space for two cars in what was a very quiet and safe area off the lane behind property. Good chippy and Butcher nearby on main road towards Staithes and a very well stocked CoOp mini store further on. Local beaches all good and dog friendly, Hinderwell is very well placed for trips out especially if you are English Heritage members! This property would definitely be on our list to return with extra family members if we can get in again!

  • "A very clean, well equipped holiday let."

    Comfy beds, huge bathroom upstairs. Good location for getting to Runswick Bay, Saltburn and Sandsend/Whitby. The only thing missing is a view of the sea and it would be perfect. The parking at the rear is tight for two cars but the owner of the garage opposite allowed us to park on his premises. Excellent butchers and chippy, plus two pubs in the village all within walking distance. The conservatory and patio are sun traps, ideal for relaxing with a drink or two .. plus it is enclosed so the dog couldn’t escape. Would definitely return.

  • "We loved staying at the Old Police House."

    It was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. Superb kitchen and so well equipped. The owners provided really comprehensive information for the property and about the local area, and the welcome snacks were a lovely, friendly and welcoming touch. It is a great location for exploring the area and there are good walks nearby, which our dog really appreciated! We just think a small patch of grass in the garden would be a pleasant ambience and helpful for those bringing their dogs.

  • "This was our second stay at the Old Police House, so that speaks for itself."

    Suits our family set up perfectly. Love Hinderwell and surrounding area. The house and garden feels like 'home' We couldn't work out how to switch on the power to the washer so did a hand wash instead no big deal.

    Hello Alison, thank you for your kind words about our property and location. We have sorted out the problem with the washing machine which is in working order again. We hope you will come again. Best wishes. Maureen Property Owner

Staithes 1.8 miles.

The Old Police House is a charming, detached property resting in the hamlet of Hinderwell, near Staithes, and was formerly the police station for the local area.

Dating back to the 1880s, this characterful abode offers a pet-friendly accommodation with near-by shop and pub, ideal for a family or group of friends looking to explore North Yorkshire’s coast and countryside.

Park off-road and be welcomed into this lovely property, discovering light and airy living spaces, beginning with a stylishly fitted living/dining space, ideal for reclining beside the electric fire at the end of the day, or indulging in a hearty meal.

There is also the option of a pleasant snug located in the conservatory, so why not catch up on a good book in a moment of quiet?

The kitchen boasts contemporary furniture and an opulent feel, catering to your culinary needs with a great variety of amenities, and there is a handy utility to take care of your washing.

When sleep calls, three bedrooms await your rest, each with storage and homely décor, so choose between a ground-floor king-size with Smart TV serviced by a ground-floor shower room,a second king-size, and a twin, plus large bathroom on the first floor.

Outside, dine alfresco on the patio before heading out to explore the local area.

Hinderwell is a small settlement offering a butchers’ shop and two pubs, The Brown Cow and The Badger Hounds.

Just a mile away above the beautiful village of Staithes is a Co-op store and down in the village are a few independent stores, more eateries, and a charming harbour.

From the property it is barely a mile to Runswick Bay with its sweeping, sandy beach and there are beaches at Skinningrove, Saltburn and Whitby.

Robin Hood’s Bay is another place not to miss.

Whitby is well worth a visit, offering the intriguing abbey ruins, a local beach, museum, Dracula Experience and more.

Guests are also within reach of the incredible scenery of the North York Moors National Park, ideal for hiking with your four-legged family member, birdwatching, and mountain biking.

All of this and so much more with a stay at The Old Police House.
