This romantic hideaway for two, boasting original floorboards, beams and feature barn windows, is 1.5 miles from Staithes. The coastal town is famed as having been home to Navy captain and explorer Captain James Cook, its cobbled streets containing fascinating alleys, shops and galleries to peruse. As the property is situated between Easington Beck and Roxby Beck and surrounded by the rolling countryside of the North York Moors National Park, it has an abundance of beautiful walking and cycling trails close by.

The cottage’s hallway opens onto a living area with a tiled floor, leather sofas, a dining table and a contemporary wood burner, making it a great place to eat and relax together. Also on the ground floor are a bathroom and kitchen, both with granite worktops. A gallery-style double bedroom occupies the first floor, overlooking the living room through a wooden balustrade. Guests staying here have access to a games room in the estate owners’ country house; this is shared with three other cottages on site.

Outside, there’s a small private patio with a wrought iron table and chairs for al fresco drinks, as well as optional access to the owners’ 4-acre paddock.

Quiet location close to the coast, field with track for walking the dogs, games room, clean and tidy accommodation and very helpful nice owners providing great local advice and tips. Will definitely recommend and use again next time in the area.

The cottage is in a great location for access to beautiful beaches along the coast all a few minutes drive away. The 3-4 cottages are tightly packed together around the shared games room, and adjacent to the owners property on a very quiet long narrow single track road. The setting feels remote but not private. The meadow opposite is lovely, and thRead moreere are plenty of footpaths to explore. The enclosed garden of Catkin cottage is a small courtyard with a low wall, overlooked by other gardens and the road. Hide

I would absolutely recommend staying in one of these cottages - The owner is extremely polite, friendly and welcoming. We were treated like royalty and the cottage was clean tidy & very comfortable (Especially the bed). It is is a very quaint little area with just the right amount of amenities on your doorstep but far enough away from any Hussle & Read morebustle. Hide
