Rockpool Cottage a four-star graded property is positioned on the harbour side in the highly regarded picturesque village of Staithes on the North Yorkshire Coast. The cottage boasts a delightful southerly outlook with uninterrupted sea views of the bay and out to sea from the living area and main bedroom. It is sheltered by high craggy cliffs at the side and rear of the property. With vehicular access and free parking for two cars at the property itself, a rare commodity in the village!
The property has been refurbished and maintained to a very good standard with tasteful decor and furnishings throughout, whilst maintaining its original character and charm. It is an ideal place to unwind and relax, with excellent views of the bay and the sea beyond. This well-equipped property provides an excellent base for couples and families looking to explore and enjoy this beautiful area.
A short stroll will take you across the bridge and harbour side, making this an ideal self-catering property from which to enjoy a beach holiday with all the family. Situated in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park area, it is a haven for keen walkers with the cottage situated close to the famous Cleveland Way that runs down the cliff side to the sea edge covering 110 miles. The area is renowned for fossil hunting, fishing and interesting rock pools hence the naming of the cottage. Staithes claims a connection with Captain Cook who served his apprenticeship to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire coast, with its quaint cobbled streets, good selection of locally sourced restaurants, quaint tea rooms and art galleries.
The enchanting CBeebies ’Rockpool Tales’ is filmed in Staithes and is a must for all youngsters to visit and explore where all the adventures took place. The historical town of Whitby is 10 miles away and is famous for its connections with Bram Stoker’s book ’Dracula’ and of course delicious fish and chips which you must sample whilst enjoying a great day out. You can even step back in time and explore local areas using the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway whilst taking in the picturesque surroundings.

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. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

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. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

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 George

Excellent cottage with a stunning location. The weather during our stay was a little stormy at times and at night, hearing the water gushing and the waves crashing was magical.
