  • "Upon our arrival we were pleasantly welcomed by, whom I can only assume is the farm cat."

    The cottage was pleasantly decorated for Christmas. It was warm and cosy and had everything that we could want. It was ideally located for visiting Scarborough and Whitby. We would definitely stay here again.

    Thank you for your kind feedback – we’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and felt at home in the cottage. It’s lovely to hear you appreciated the cosy, festive touches (and our friendly farm cat!) and found the location ideal for exploring Scarborough and Whitby. We’d be delighted to welcome you back again. Property Owner

  • "This was our second stay at Stable Cottage."

    It had everything we needed, and was clean and welcoming, being ideally situated for visiting the East Coast and Yorkshire Moors. However, since our last stay Ben and Wendy have installed frosted windows at the front of the property, which detracted from the feeling that you were staying on a farm, being unable to see any of the farm activities. I would though, on the whole highly recommend Stable Cottage.

    The cottage was comfortable and was equipped with what we needed for the week. The location is beautiful and the owners were approachable and friendly whilst not intrusive. We didn’t have any issues at all but had we needed anything we wouldn’t have hesitated to ask. The location was ideal for visits to Scarborough; the North York Moors Railway; Thornton-le-Dale and Dalby Forest; Playdale Farm and the coast with lovely walks. There are pubs close by, we especially liked Bryherstones Inn which was also mentioned in the visitor book in the cottage. We’ve had a wonderful week and can’t wait to return.

  • "We enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable cottage."

    I thought it was well laid out making good use of the space available. Many original features of the barn had been maintained and the owners have got just the right balance of modern and rustic. The cottage is perfectly situated for Whitby, Scarborough or the North York Moors. It was very quiet at night and we slept very well. The only noise issue during the day are the dogs who are kept kennelled opposite the cottage as they do bark a lot and disturb the peace and quiet during the day. Other than that we had no issues. The cottage had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The only things we had to buy were kitchen roll and extra toilet rolls, there is a good local supermarket just 10 minute drive away so this wasn’t a problem. WiFi is provided but not secure and not always reliable with the signal being unavailable for short periods most days we were there. You can pick up 4G in the cottage. Overall we had a great week and I’d definitely recommend this cottage to others for a relaxing week in a lovely part of the country.

    It has everything you need and more. Outside to the rear is a fairly private garden and lovely views over the fields. The horses, dogs, cats, goat, and sheep were great to watch. Car Parking is available to the front of the property. We had neighbours to both sides, but due to the thick stone walls, and floorplan, never heard them at all. It was very peaceful and out the way enough to be quiet but close enough to easily visit all resorts from Whitby to Bridlington, and very close to the Cinder Path route, and Cleveland Way. Ben and Wendy were the perfect welcoming hosts, usually working around the farm, and easily available if needed, but never intrusive. Stable Cottage is highly recommended, and we will 100% go back there.

The property

Burniston 4.4 miles.

Stable Cottage is a charming stone barn conversion forming part of a small hamlet of cottages in the village of Staintondale, near the Yorkshire coast.

Well-suited to a small family of four, this single-storey property combines traditional features with a bright, well-planned layout, making it an appealing choice for countryside and coastal getaways.

The open-plan sitting room immediately draws the eye with its high apex ceiling and exposed central beams, creating a striking space to gather together at the end of the day.

The woodburning stove adds character to the room, making it an inviting place to relax after time spent exploring the surrounding area.

The kitchen is neatly appointed and finished in neutral tones, with a door leading directly out to the rear garden.

When sleep calls, the choice of a double or twin bedroom beckons.

Outside, the garden offers a pleasant spot to sit and take in views across the neighbouring countryside, whether enjoying a morning drink or winding down in the evening.

The layout of the cottage makes it particularly well-suited to families wanting everything on one level, with easy access throughout.

Guests staying at Stable Cottage can enjoy immediate access to the Cleveland Way National Trail, renowned for its sweeping coastal scenery and routes through picturesque villages such as Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby.

The Cinder Track provides an alternative for walkers and cyclists seeking a more level route between Scarborough and Whitby.

Scarborough itself is within easy reach and is home to attractions including Scarborough Open Air Theatre, a major draw for visitors thanks to its programme of concerts and events set within a dramatic open-air setting.

Stable Cottage offers a well-located base for discovering the very best of North Yorkshire.

Note: This property can be booked with refs. 980870, 986353, 980868, and 1056519, together sleeping up to 14 people.

Meeting House Farm

Set within the village of Staintondale, this attractive collection of four cottages offers welcoming accommodation suited to a wide range of guests, from families and travelling companions to couples seeking a countryside escape. Whether your plans lean towards relaxed days or exploring the surrounding area, the location delivers an ideal balance, with scenic footpaths on the doorstep and coastal attractions close by. After days spent discovering the moors or coastline, return to the cottages to unwind in inviting interiors, each featuring a well appointed lounge with generous seating and a characterful kitchen, perfect for leisurely breakfasts or early morning refreshments. A choice of bedroom layouts ensures flexibility for different group sizes, with neatly styled sleeping spaces providing a calming retreat at the end of the day. Each morning begins in the smart bathroom before stepping out to enjoy village life and the wider surroundings once more. Two of the cottages – Carters and Hayloft – benefit from hot tubs, offering a relaxing spot to reflect on the day’s adventures and plan the next, perhaps with a drink in hand on a sunny afternoon. Positioned midway between the historic fishing town of Whitby, famed for its Abbey, and the lively spa town of Scarborough, known for its theatres, seafront attractions, and the popular Scarborough Open Air Theatre hosting live performances against a dramatic coastal backdrop, this is a superb base at any time of year. From Staintondale itself, guests can enjoy gentle strolls and bridleways that weave through the surrounding countryside. Meeting House Farm is a charming group of cottages, perfectly placed to make your North Yorkshire holiday truly memorable.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
