“Mulgrave cottage was home from home, everything you needed was there.”

The cottage was idyllic and with such peaceful surroundings.

The cottage was idyllic and with such peaceful surroundings. Thank you..... see you again.

- Mrs Welch, September 2019
“We stayed here 3 nights September 2019.”

Five adults wanting to relax and enjoy each others company. The cottage enabled us to do all of these things. despite the weather we were able to snatch a coffee outside when the sun decided to dodge the rain. The farmer was friendly and could not have done enough to make our stay pleasurable. There is an old interesting pub within a short walk away. Though it served food we did not eat there, but the menu on the wall looked varied and interesting. Two of our relatives are from the States and were going home to recommend to friends.

- Mrs France, September 2019

The owners are very good ,

“Lovely village.”

Cottage was spotlesly clean.Gerard and family were very nice and nothing was to much trouble. Advantage having on site parking in such a small village. Granddaughter loved been able to go and see the animals. Good food in local pub was home cooked and very reasonably priced. Will return

- Mrs Harvey, May 2019
“Perfect venue, perfect surroundings and perfect hosts.”

- Mrs Matthews, April 2019
“We had a great week.”

The cottage is spotlessly clean, cosy and a perfect base for the coast and moors. It was a real treat being on a farm during lambing - we saw lambs born and our daughter got to feed a lamb. We will definitely return and would highly recommend to others. Thank you Gerard and Elaine.

- Mrs Bentley, March 2019
“The cottage was excellent The owner met us on arrival to show us round.”

- Mr Cartwright, March 2019
“The cottage was Great: clean comfortable and well equipped.”

Very nice welcome with tea,milk biscuits and chocolate. Would recommend this to family and friends. Good accommodation for anyone with a disability.

- Mrs Salisbury, January 2019
“The cottage is well equipped.”

There were toiletries in the bathrooms, tea, coffee, sugar, and everything needed to cook. On arrival we were greeted with milk, biscuits and sweets. It is nicely situated within short drives to Whitby, Saltburn and the North York Moors. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. The pub is two minutes walk away were we enjoyed good meals and the staff were friendly. The cottage owners, Gerard, Elaine and their son Tom couldn’t have made us more welcome. We stayed over Christmas and on Christmas Day realised we had no gravy for our Christmas dinner. They gave us homemade gravy and apple sauce. On Boxing Day they arrived with homemade soup and spicy lamb, cooked by Tom, which was delicious. Gerard also let us meet his farm dogs, cows and a beautiful horse. He gave us lots of interesting information which made the stay even more special. On arriving home one of our company had left items at the cottage and Gerard and Elaine posted them back. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they made of stay special. We certainly intend to return.

- Mrs Lynas, December 2018
“My husband had a stroke eight weeks ago, Mulgrave Cottage was absolutely perfect for him.”

Wet room, spacious, comfortable and warm. Owners were friendly and welcoming. Weather was good and we were able to get out and about every day.

- Mrs Tarrant, November 2018
“I had a very enjoyable holiday with my disabled husband ( the disabled ground floor wetroom and bedroom were perfect for us.”

We also had 2 adult granddaughters with us, 1 with her partner and 1 with her baby and they had the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. This was ideal for all of us and we had a very good holiday. The owners were friendly and the cottage well-equipped. The North Yorkshire moors and coast are beautiful and the cottage is in easy reach of many interesting places.

- Mrs Kirk, October 2018
“A wonderful week in a beautiful cottage.”

We enjoyed rediscovering the Yorkshire coast with all its hidden charm and look forward to returning soon.

- Mrs Abrams, September 2018
“The location of the cottage & the welcome from the owners was fantastic and the cottage was so warm and comfortable.”

Easy access to local facilities.

- Miss Fountain, September 2018
“Our hosts Elaine and Gerard went above and beyond!”

! Chocolate, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and many other products had already been supplied for us. Fresh flowers in the cottage. Gerard also popped in with some homemade cupcakes on the second day of our stay, which was a lovely added touch. He was always on hand if we had any questions, as well as suggestions and local knowledge to help us with our days out during our stay. We couldn't fault anything at all about our stay and will be back!!!!!

- Mrs Walker, August 2018
“Wonderful reception from the owners, plenty of comfortable seating, well ...”

Wonderful reception from the owners, plenty of comfortable seating, well equipped, fantastically clean, excellent wet room and bathroom facilities, all round 10/10

- Mr Bibey, July 2018
“The farmer who owns the cottage was very friendly and helpful.”

A lovely peaceful position. The only criticism I have is that the fridge freezer was very small! Overall I would really recommend this cottage especially if you like countryside and farm animals. The local pub was excellent, good food at reasonable prices

- Mrs Ashton, July 2018
“Although Sykes "met our expectations" (we have used Sykes before), our hosts at Mulgrave Cottage far exceeded expectations.”

They were friendly & VERY helpful. The cottage is lovely & everything we needed was provided including a "welcome pack" of milk, sweets & biscuits - just what we needed after the long drive from Edinburgh. When we arrived, the oil warning light had come on in my car & I asked if there was a local garage I could go to. Mr Welford checked the oil level & advised me not to drive anymore until the oil had been topped up and offered to go to the garage next morning to get the oil for me, which he did. He even put the oil in for me. Kindness above & beyond expectations. There was a wee problem with the hot water & within 5 minutes of us letting Mrs Welford know, Mr Welford was on site resolving the matter. I would reccommend Mulgrave Cottage very highly. It is situated in a lovely part of Yorkshire & within easy travelling distance of Whitby, Saltburn by the Sea & the Moors. Staithes is a picturesque harbour town, although it has very steep access roads. Everyone seemed friendly & we had a very pleasant week.

- Ms Watson, June 2018
“Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and warm.”

Owners very friendly and approachable. Appreciated the milk and biscuits on arrival. Would highly recommend and would return again.

- Mrs Marsden, June 2018
“Mulgrave Cottage was perfect for our family weekend break.”

The cottage was spanking clean, everything we needed was provided and the welcome gift a very thoughtful gesture by the owners. Elaine, Gerard and Tom all made us feel welcome and Gerard went out of his way to make sure we saw the newly born calves and lambs. Would highly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a few days away with easy access to Staithes, Runswick Bay and Whitby. There's also a great pub two minutes walk away, The Fox and Hounds, where Bill and the rest of the staff were really friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be booking for another break and looking forward to it already.

- Mrs Welsh, March 2018
“This cottage is superb and the owners are so wonderfully helpful.”

We have already recommended this cottage to family and friends. A great spot to tour the North York Moors and the Cleveland coast.

- Mr Clowes, February 2018

Dalehouse Farm Holiday Cottages

Staithes 0.5 miles. These two, pretty, stone semi-detached cottages, are quietly tucked away in the small hamlet of Dalehouse, just a few minutes’ walk from the charming fishing village of Staithes. Set on the owners’ farm which has suckler cows and sheep, and where they breed Cleveland Bay horses, the cottages overlook fields and countryside and are in the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing holiday, with an abundance of walking tracks and cycling trails in the area. Originally the milking parlour, they have been converted to a good standard and provide comfortable accommodation with a traditional feel running through them. Both cottages have L-shaped open plan living areas, with leather sofas, electric stoves and family dining areas. The larger cottage offers the flexibility of a ground floor bedroom and wet room, enabling the less mobile to stay, while both have family bathrooms and first floor bedrooms with views of the lambs skipping around in the springtime. With both cottages having off road parking, guests can leave their cars safely behind and walk into historic Staithes, with its narrow cobbled streets and cottages that tumble down the bank towards the picturesque harbour, with a feeling of stepping back in time. Wander around the quaint shops, partake in tea and cakes, or enjoy fine fish and chips in one of the local inns. The Captain Cook's Museum is well worth a visit, or blow the cobwebs away with a bracing cliff top walk along the Cleveland Way long distance trail, that follows the coastline for miles. This special corner of North Yorkshire offers some superb countryside, with the North York Moors on your doorstep and delightful inland and coastal villages to explore, including Runswick Bay, Saltburn and Danby, with attractions such as the Danby Moors Exhibition Centre, the steam railway at Grosmont and the interesting mining museum at Skinningrove. Two well-placed cottages for wonderful family holidays.

The property

Mulgrave Cottage is the larger property of the two and has the advantage of a ground floor double bedroom and a wet room, which is suitable for those with limited mobility, having a pull down shower seat, grab rails and a portable shower chair if needed.

In the open plan living area there are comfortable leather sofas set around an electric stove, a cosy addition for cooler evenings.

There is also a well-equipped kitchen with dining area.

Stairs lead up to two pleasant bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Outside, the rear enclosed patio garden is safe for children to play and offers off road parking, not often found in the Staithes area.

A short stroll brings you to centre of this charming fishing village, whilst the surrounding countryside is a walker’s haven.

Note: This property adjoins Ref. 934802, together they sleep 10.

About the location

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.
