Yorkshire Coast Self Catering cottage, The Cottage, Staithes, sleeps 4

Lovely little Cottage
Just finished a long weekend here and would highly recommend. The cottage has 2 other rentals attached so would be great for larger parties. Has had new owners in the last month and can see from the old visitor book that the old owners were highly thought off and old frequent visitors are reluctant to come again with new owners. I never met the old owners, but the new owners Carl and especially Ian are lovely. So warm and friendly. They are the perfect hosts. Now the property, it is the least modernised of the 3 properties but it's still warm and cosy. We've not needed the heating on at all. We have lit the fire late on every night, but more for aesthetics than heat. The gardens are beautiful, so many spaces to sit and eat outside. You cook literally follow the sun around. The area near the well must be a real sun trap in the summer. We haven't found the road loud, and we live in a quiet cul de sac. It may be different in summer when you need windows open though. However we have sat outside a lot, and it hasn't bothered us. The area is stunning, we've walked along the Cleveland Way in both directions. Which is only approx 10 mins walk away down the road. The local pubs seem good, with friendly staff. Would I recommend to friends and family? Definitely. Would we come again? Again yes, as I feel we haven't touched on what the area has to offer and this Cottage is an ideal base.
