Lovely small clean cottage next to quayside, lifeboat and cliff with nesting gulls. So not for people that don’t like noisy birds or people walking by the window. The wooden stairs are open and shower over the bath so not sure would suit people will mobility issues.

My husband and I enjoyed a short break in Staithes, staying at Rockpool Cottage. It was a great base with the added benefit of parking (in short supply in the village). We enjoyed exploring the village and walking along the coast. Just the tonic we needed after months in lockdown.

An excellent cottage in a perfect position to take advantage of the natural beauty of the bay and access to local and national footpath's excellent fishing boating sightseeing and easy access to the North East coastal resorts of Whitby Scarborough, Redcar, Runswick and Robin hoods bays, Easy walking distance to the main village with several shops and eateries with good access to the footbridge within 100 yards of the property. Two individual local trails one for the Illusion Trail ( local 3D illusions artist) and one for the Salty Dog and me ( a popular children's program filmed at Staithes). There is also sea kayaking, crabbing, clear water sea swimming, and ideal as a base for cycling and rambling enthusiasts. In general an excellent all-round outdoor pursuit and historical location.
Highly recommended.

Excellent week, cottage was just what we wanted.
Excellent week, cottage was just what we wanted. Couldn't get any closer to the water which is exactly what we wished for. Everything worked as expected and we had a great holiday. Food at the Cod & Lobster was ideal for meals and very good value. The area is fantastic even if the weather may not be at times. I recommend this cottage as one for the books. Everyone was so friendly. Many thanks. Best regards
