Post Box Cottage

Beautiful cottage just outside Staithes.

Whitby only 20 minutes drive away too. Listing was totally accurate. Communication with owners was great. Cottage was immaculately clean and very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Would love to visit again.

Gorgeous cottage, spotlessly clean, comfortable and well appointed.

Parking right outside the cottage. Lovely owners and welcome basket was a bonus! Easy walk to Staithes (bear in mind it's a hilly area!) and well located for enjoying the rest of the Yorkshire coast. Will definitely be back

Second visit to Post Box Cottage and as before found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and comfortable.

The cottage is situated in the quiet village of Dalehouse and has everything you need for a relaxed self catering stay. The owners were very pleasant and friendly and have done a lovely job of converting the building to a cosy cottage. Would highly reccommend staying here to anyone who wants a relaxing break and am sure we will be coming back at some point in the future.

Had a great week at Post Box Cottage The cottage was comfortable and well equipped.

Parking right outside the property was very convenient and the area was very quiet and a great base for exploring the north Yorkshire moors and coast. Staithes is very nice and within walking distance, about 15 minutes to the harbour where we enjoyed a pint at the Cod and Lobster most days

Lovely cottage, with everything we needed.

Very comfortable. With lots of walks right on the doorstep. Lovely weather helped too!!

Lovely clean and warm cottage in peaceful setting, good Internet

Could not fault this property.

Everything was done to ensure our stay was enjoyable.

Our 3rd stay at Post Box Cottage was brilliant, exactly the same as previous visits.

Clean, warm, comfortable and quiet. An ideal place to explore the wonderful countryside and coast, and a lovely local pub about 2 mins walk away. We shall be back!

lovely cottage friendly welcome and info

Lovely cottage,warm and comfortable.

Quiet location but within a short walk to Staithes and the bus stop to further afield. It was our 3rd visit to the Dalehouse accommodation

Post Box Cottage is a very well converted holiday cottage, it is modern, bright and clean with a spacious downstairs lounge, dining and kitchen area.

The upstairs main bedroom is also very spacious with much storage. The two further bedrooms also have plenty of room and furnished with further wardrobes, chest of draws etc. The front outside seating area is small but not private. As stated the cottage is located within walking distance to Staithes Harbour and the local small supermarket but the area is very hilly and is particularly steep going down to the Harbour and back up. Much time needs to be taken for both journeys. Pretty villages, views, country lanes and farmland are nearby by car.

A perfect cottage for our family holiday.

Elaine, Gerard and family were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage is fully equipped and has a homely feeling. Comfortable rooms and bedrooms. A lovely seating area outside to have morning sun or afternoon shade. Located in a beautiful area with a quaint village pub a 1 minute walk away. We highly recommend this cottage. Our family really enjoyed our holiday with this as our base to explore Staithes and Whitby.

Lovely property, in a quiet location.

We really appreciated the touches such as the milk, snacks, etc.

We had a lovely week in Post Box Cottage, everything you need and was spotlessly clean ,a gorgeous quiet little village, the owners are lovely thank you so much ,Joy and Wayne Morris.

Lovely cottage, spotless clean and great location.

Hosts on site and around if needed, really friendly. Look forward to returning.

Lovely well kept cottage and spotless.

Very well equipped, everything you need. The cottage is in a lovely spot and not far from amenities. The welcome basket and milk in the fridge was very much appreciated, thank you.

I cannot fault this lovely cottage.

It was like being at home! The location was perfect for fossil hunters like us. I shall be recommending it to all our friends.

We had a great week at Post Box Cottage.

We have two little kids and it was an ideal house for us - really clean, comfortable and practical. Gerrard and Elaine were really friendly and helpful and there was a wonderful little welcome box waiting for us on arrival. The location of the house is maybe it's best asset. Staithes beach and harbour is a short but hilly walk away - obviously as all the beaches are down a steep hill in this part of the world - and our absolute favourite beach, Runswick Bay - is a ten minute drive away. The house was great value for money and we'll definitely be back. Cheers guys!

The description said something like 'ten minutes walk from the sea' - which it probably was.

But it didn't say that the 10 minutes included a long, steep incline up from the cottage and then a long, steep incline down to the beach. And then again in reverse to get back to the cottage. Which would have been useful to know.

We had a brilliant week at Post Box Cottage.

It is a lovely, comfortable and clean cottage ideally placed, near enough to get into Staithes for access to the Cleveland Way and the fantastic walks along the cliffs, close to access for public transport if you want to leave the car and far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of Dalehouse. Owners were lovely and friendly, checked we had everything we needed and then left us to enjoy our holiday.

What a lovely property and location!

Although small, the cottage had all we needed. It was well-appointed and clean. The quiet valley has only a few houses and we woke to the sounds of birds and sheep. I would suggest that the kitchen knives need to be sharpened or replaced.

Had a lovely week staying at Post Box cottage.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The owners had provided everything you need for a self catering stay, plenty of pots and pans, crockery, utensils etc and more. The cottage was very cosy, comfortable beds,good shower and central heating. The cottage is situated in a good location, in the small village of Dalehouse, and you can easily walk into Staithes from the cottage. We didn't get to meet the owners tho they did say if we needed anything just to knock at their door which is next but one to the cottage, but as everything in the cottage was provided we didn't have any issues . I would highly recommend staying here and hope to be back in the future.

Wonderful property in excellent location Beautiful cottage lovingly restored by very welcoming owners with a farm theme throughout.

The cottage was spotless, warm and cosy with everything needed for a very enjoyable stay, nice big bedroom with comfy bed. With coastal walks from the doorstep and fishing villages to explore the cottage is an absolute gem. Recommend the Fox & Hounds just 2mins away and The Fishermans Wife in Whitby. Thanks to Elaine, Gerard & Family for the welcome pack and for the opportunity to fully enjoy Post Box Cottage. Hopefully we will return. Best wishes Erna & David ,

Our stay at this beautiful cottage was brilliant.

Elaine and Gerard were so friendly and welcoming on our arrival. The cottage was warm and comfortable, equiped with everthing you could need. This cottage is in a lovely setting close to a local pub, with a welcoming roaring fire, serving tasty meals. A most enjoyable stay in a great place.

Lovely, comfortable cottage with excellent facilities in quiet village close to Staithes & convenient to the main road to use buses to travel up & down the north east coast.

Excellent location & base for walking.

Excellent property, very clean.

Great communication.

I would recommend an upgrade to the TV.

Found the sound pretty awful.very difficult to listen to. So maybe a smart TV would be better The WiFi was very good so it’s good enough for a smart TV. We missed the use of a dishwasher which didn’t really matter. There was a washing machine but know where to hang out washing. Both toilets could do with a toilet roll holder on wall. Also the double bed mattress we found very uncomfortable. Could feel the springs. Didn’t really get a full nights sleep all holiday. Apart from all the above we had an enjoyable stay at Postbox Cottage.

A brilliant location and equally brilliant cottage, a real home from home.

Gerard and Elaine could not have been more helpful and we've already re-booked for next year. Highly recommended.

A very comfortable, well equipped cottage in a lovely quiet setting surrounded by farmland.

It is walking distance from Staithes and a number of other lovely walks can be accessed directly from the door. The perfect cottage for a relaxing break.

We have just returned from a fantastic week at postbox cottage.

The cottage was lovely and the amenities were great. My little one had a lovely tour of the farm and had some lovely little extras left on arrival. Definitely will be returning.

Kept in contact.

Very efficient. Friendly the cottage was beautiful very clean and all amenities needed. Extras left was extra touch. Had a relaxing few days away. Would 100 % recommend

Excellent stay ,would reccomend

We had a lovely stay at Post Box Cottage.

Very cosy and clean, comfortable beds and everything we needed. The hosts were very accommodating and the Welcome Box was a real treat! Thankyou for a lovely stay!❤️

absolute gem of a place, the cottage had everything we could ask for, owners very friendly & welcoming, pub more or less next door, within walking distance to Staithes (if you don't mind walking up hill out of Dalehouse & obviously steep hill to get up/down in Staithes!

) Co-op within walking distance also or a 2 min drive plus all the lovely coastal towns within easy reach. Defintely our kind of winter break, sure we'll be back!

This little cottage was perfect.

Away from the hustle and bustle of hectic life. The size was deceptive - there was plenty of space and ample equipment to suit the families needs. A warm welcome pack was an added surprise when we arrived. Our hosts were friendly and available if we needed them, which we didn't because the accommodation and service was faultless. This was a beautiful and relaxing property in an ideal location.

The cottage was very comfortable and nicely quiet.

For those who care, the WiFi was easily connected to. And the welcome basket was a lovely touch.

Just arrived back home after a lovely relaxing week’s stay at Post Box Cottage.

Just what we were hoping for. Everything was perfect, lovely little welcome pack of essential grocery items, and luxury biscuits, awaiting our arrival at the cottage, nice touch from the owners. Cottage was very well equipped and comfortable to relax in. Kitchen was good size, included all items you may require to create meals, but good food outlets abound in nearby pubs etc.. Double bedroom was comfortable again, given the quietness of location we slept readily each night. Two single bedroom, although we dint require them, bathroom equipped with bath / over bath shower with retractable shower screen, again all adequate. Wifi 100% with no problems, mobile phone signal is non existent, but given the contours of the area, this was expected, as we have stayed in this area previously. Although not having a phone signal helped create the peace we sought. But if required a signal is obtainable 1/4 mile up the hill. The owners who reside virtually next door are on hand if you require anything, but with everything been perfect, this was never the case. Without doubt we shall return to stay Dalehouse in the future, big thanks to the owners for the perfect relaxing stay at Post Box Cottage. Kevin & Lorely.

Lovely well cottage well situated for travel to local beaches and Whitby.

Was fab for family break and even had plastic cups/ bowls/ plates for the kids. Kitchen had everything we needed. Biccies and milk in welcome hamper were lovely. Family were contactable when we needed them and were very helpful when we did. Would stay again.

The property is lovely in a lovely location near to Yorkshire coast sites.

On arrival was a thoughtful welcome hamper very much appreciated. We found the mattresses on the beds very uncomfortable but this could just be our preference. Outdoor seating are was not really one as such as it was outside the house not very private. The owners said hello but left us to it we very much prefer it this way. All in all a lovely little cottage for the price.

Super cottage, everything you need, great base to visit coastal resorts, owners on hand if any problems (there weren't any).

Would highly recommend.

Nicely situated in the hamlet of Dalehouse, a nice walk up the hill and then down hill into Staithes, with the local pub Fox and Hounds 2 mins walk away serving good beer and snacks.

Everything was as described, the cottage was very clean and everything provided for a nice stay. Gerard popped by to make sure everything was ok, and a welcome basket of goodies were there for when we arrived. Great as a base for touring the North York moors and coast.

The cottage was really lovely.

Very clean and homely. Situated in a lovely quiet area. Ideal for walking or visiting the local beaches. We had a fantastic holiday couldn’t have wished for anything more.

Lovely comfortable cottage,great location for walking ,coastal bus service at the end of the road .

Quiet without being isolated

Lovely clean, spacious cottage, ideally situated for walking,, large Co-op, 5 minutes walk, superb Arriva bus service for travelling the local coast.

We had a lovely time at post box cottage, what a great cottage in a fab location, we would highly recommend.

We felt very welcome and we loved chatting to Gerard about the farm and seeing the new born lambs made our holiday!

Well appointed very clean cottage in a lovely setting

A very well presented clean tidy cottage in a great location .

We will stay again.

The most relaxing holiday surrounded by beautiful views and the comfort of home with the cottage.

The owners have thought of everything

We had an absolutely lovely week at this cottage.

Everything we needed was there. The hosts were lovely and we had a great time.

What a beautiful place to stay ,The cottage had every thing that you needed and more .

we took washing up liquid etc when we arrived and started to put our things away we found it all even wash tablets for the washing machine .we did use our own though as it felt cheeky to use theirs .The people are so friendly stopped to chat many times The farmer even took our Daughter and my husband a ride around the farm when he found out that she loved animals .we have some lovely pictures of her and snowdrop the mare who loves carrots but is a little greedy ,The cottage is close to a lovely little pub ,great walks .lovely views when out walking .Best foot forward though some hills about .In fact It was so lovely That I could live there we did not want to come home a week is too short for a stay Just lovely

The owners were friendly and helpful.

Advising us on best walks & local places The cottage was very comfortable and we enjoyed the outside seating. FIVE STAR RATED***** Staithes was worth the hill LOL. Sitting on the benches look over the harbour. Takeaways and Plenty of places to eat and drink. My must have was outside the CRAB & LOBSTER eating Tempura Oysters.

The beach wasn't far away.

Nice local amenities with friendly local people. Would definitely visit again.

Perfect holiday cottage for us.

Lovely peaceful location, but close to amenities and within easy reach of beautiful coastline and the North York Moors. Accommodation clean and comfortable, everything we needed was provided. Lovely welcome basket upon arrival and very friendly , helpful owners.

The owners of the cottage who were on site were so friendly and kind and couldn't have done more!

They made us us feel so welcome. The property was immaculate. Thank you all

Cottage in a lovely little village/hamlet with lovely walks in the surrounding areas but involve hills.

Cottage no complaints at all and owners very friendly and on hand if needed.

Lovely cottage, in an ideal position for Staithes, the East coast and and the Cleveland Way.

Lovely hosts in friendly village with nice walks from door and easy to get to lots of places

The cottage was exactly as described, was well equipped with all that was needed for self catering and big enough for 2 adults and 2 children.

It's in a lovely tranquil spot and close to a selection of great beaches. The children loved seeing the animals on the farm and the owner was friendly and helpful. A perfect stay in a perfect spot. Thank you!

Great location wonderful thoughtful welcome gift including milk incredibly clean and very well appointed we will be returning

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location.

Only met host briefly but seemed a really nice guy. Offered lots of suggestions on walks, places to visit and eat. Had a great few days thank you

Wonderful cottage well maintained, equipped and cleaned, cozy and warm.

Owners are very welcoming and friendly who live next door. Fox & Hounds literally 3 min walk a friendly pub with great food and pint £2.50. Fantastic location with 15 min walk into Staithes. Excelsiors Fish & Chips were very good under 10 min walk. Capt Cooks Inn great paddle of ale. Thought Cod & Lobster were overrated on their food. Lovely walks from cottage. Saltburn was a nice Victorian seaside town. Gt Ayton was lovely we parked at Capt Cooks monument and walked a circular round up to Rosebery Topping wonderful views. We had a great holiday.

Had great holiday the cottage was better that I hoped, The owners were very helpful and friendly.

we were situated just outside Staithes which was an easy walk away, all other resorts/beaches was in easy reach by car. really enjoyed our stay

Lovely little cottage located in a very quiet location just a 20 minute drive to whitby, nice little pub 2 minute walk away, but unfortunately wasn't doing food with the current situation of the world.

Owner's of the cottage Gérard Elaine Tom and Amie where lovely and friendly and would definitely recommend and will be looking at booking again next year Jamie & Karen

This cottage is perfect for a family of four, separate bedrooms for the children and a downstairs loo too!

Lovely and clean with a sweet welcome basket on arrival which was unexpected and a lovely touch. Dalehouse is the perfect location to explore lots of lovely beaches and villages, nothing is more than 10 minutes away by car. We visited Whitby, Sands End, Runswick Bay, Saltburn and of course Staithes. Gerard even took our two children (plus husband!) on a tour of the farm via quad bike which made all of their days!! We will most definitely be visiting again!

Ideal quiet place,just a 10 min walk into Staithes.

Very well equipped and comfortable accommodation.

Good location for walking/ beach, etc. Great welcome from the property owners.

Lovely cottage.

Quiet, pretty village. Great location. Would go back.

This cottage was absolutely spotless and equipped with everything we could have needed, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful and were on site to help, but did not encroach on our break at all- the perfect hosts. They even left some welcome treats appropriate to the covid situation. The area in which the cottage lies is amazing, just a short walk into Staithes, but the actual hamlet is lovely and peaceful- a lovely place to sit and have a quiet drink after a day of exploring this beautiful area.

We really loved the cottage, it was just perfect to get away from all the stress lately.

Ideal location very quiet but handy for Staithes which is lovely. We would love to stay again.

Lovely cottage.

Only booked two nights here for the weekend. Great location - a short walk to Staithes harbour. Appreciated the welcome treats and was sorry we did not get a chance to thank the owners for these. Can definitely recommend.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful area.

Very welcoming family - the tour of the farm to see the new baby animals was an unexpected surprise. Can't wait to visit again.

perfect cottage with everything you need,warm and welcoming owners elaine and gerrad live next door and nothing is too much trouble, local pub is very hard to walk past and even harder to leave.

....all in all home from home ,will return without hesitation

Lovely place, very clean and friendly helpful owners

This cottage was the best cottage we have stayed in.

It was well equipped with everything we needed and more. The hosts,Gerrard and Elaine, were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. There were biscuits, chocolate, tea coffee, sugar and milk waiting for us on our arrival. I can't praise them and their cottage enough. Would definitely stop there again and will be recommending them to our family and friends.

We had a lovely time at the Post Box cottage, it was in a great setting and the owners were very friendly and welcoming.

We were also left a small welcome pack with chocolate, biscuits and milk. Lovely walks near by and a 10 minute walk to Staithes.

Lovely situated property approached down a steep hill - village is in a valley.

Your mobile phone will not work here - only if you go to a higher place. As the property is a converted farm barn there is no garden to sit out in but at the front of the property there is small stone patio supplied with a table, bench and chairs which overlooks the road into the village and properties opposite which are pleasant. The facilities in the cottage were excellent, very modern and clean. The owners were very helpful living next door nothing was too much trouble for them. Would recommend if you are aware that there is no garden.

Great place to stay.

Loved the location - the local pub well wort a visit

Fantastic cottage and location, had every thing we needed and it was lovely being there at lambing time.

Gerard the farmer was happy to chat about the farm and the local area. I believe the info said limited Wi-Fi but this was fine just no mobile reception as it's in a dip.

We had a great week at Post Box Cottage, very relaxed, great location.

As always when we stay in Yorkshire everyone very friendly and helpful.

The cottage owners gave me a very warm welcome.

Lovely cottage, very well located and well kitted out without being cluttered.

The welcome pack of chocolate, biscuits and milk was much appreciated. The owners were available if needed and very helpful, but not obtrusive. There is an excellent pub 5 minutes walk away. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

The Post Box Cottage was excellent we were made to feel really welcome.

A real cosy get away we everything you need to make you feel at home.

The cottage is a wonderful base for exploring the surrounding coastline and has a great country pub just up the road.

It is kept immaculately clean with parking just outside the front door

A lovely cottage in a quiet area, but only a ten minute walk into Staithes.

Cant fault anything about the property, and would be happy to return again in the future.

Post Box Cottage is a comfortable cottage, very clean and perfect for our needs with two small children.

It is located in an excellent spot for exploring the area, and there is also a lovely pub less than five minutes walk away. We had an amazing time and would like to return in the future. Thank you to Gerard, Elaine and Tom for being such lovely hosts.

Lovely cottage.

Very clean, well stocked. Beautiful surroundings. Great holiday. Thank you .

No everything with our recent cottage was fine

The cottage was first class the owners are very friendly and make you feel as if you are one of the family.

The location is excellent for walking and there is a first class pub close by we would defiantly re-book.

Gerard and Elaine were the most welcoming hosts friendly and helpful.

The cottage was spotless and had every possible thing you could need lovely aspect and within reach of many places wonderful holiday and will definitely go back

The cottage was lovely and in a great position to visit the many gems of North Yorkshire.

Elaine, Gerard and Tom were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this cottage to friends and family should they wish to visit this part of the country.

Ideal location for walkers but steep hill to negotiate out of valley for those with limited mobility.

Perfect rural position with very friendly and helpful cottage owners.

A lovely cottage in a quiet location.

Great to be able to walk to the coast.Hosts,Elaine and Gerrard welcoming and friendly.

The cottage was warm and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen.

The owners are friendly and recommended places to visit and eat and drink. They also provided biscuits, chocolate and milk on arrival which was a really nice touch.

A wonderful, well equipped, comfortable cottage, really well located for exploring the area.

Friendly and helpful owners.
