🌿 Outdoor Space

French doors from both the kitchen and living room open onto a lovely enclosed walled patio garden with outdoor furniture.

It’s perfect for breakfast in the sun, reading in the afternoon, or wine at sunset as the sea glows on the horizon.

Footpaths lead straight from the gate into open fields and moorland – you can start a walk without ever moving the car.

🌄 A Perfect Location

Staithes View sits at the meeting point of moor and sea – a truly unique setting in the North York Moors National Park.

You’re minutes from fishing villages, beaches, and wild open countryside.
Nearby favourites include:

🐚 Staithes – cobbled lanes, colourful cottages, art galleries and the famous Staithes Art & Heritage Festival.

🏖 Runswick Bay – often named one of Britain’s most beautiful beaches, ideal for swimming, paddling and picnics.

🌊 Saltburn-by-the-Sea – Victorian pier, cliff tramway, surf school and great cafés.

⚓ Whitby – iconic abbey, quirky shops, festivals and legendary fish & chips.

🚂 Goathland, Grosmont & Glaisdale – moorland villages linked by the North York Moors Steam Railway, famous from the Harry Potter films.

🥾 For Walkers, Cyclists & Nature Lovers

The Cleveland Way National Trail and miles of local footpaths are on your doorstep, offering heather-clad moorland, cliff-top hikes and peaceful woodland routes.

Cyclists can explore quiet backroads or hire e-bikes nearby.

Wildlife watchers will spot curlews, deer and, in summer, swathes of butterflies among the wildflowers.

Artists and photographers adore the changing coastal light — it’s no surprise so many return each year to paint or sketch the views.

⚓ Activities & Adventures

Scaling Dam Reservoir – fishing, sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and paddleboarding with hire and tuition available.

Saltburn Surf School – lessons and board hire for all ages.

Coastal kayaking & paddleboarding – explore hidden coves around Runswick Bay and Sandsend.

Golf & Horse Riding – scenic courses and trekking centres nearby.

Cycling & mountain-bike trails across the moors and forests.

Flamingo Land Resort & Zoo – family fun with fairground rides, penguins, lions and Sumatran tigers.

We had a long weekend in this beautiful cottage. It had everything that we needed. The beds were very comfortable, and it was supplied with all the things you would need. A proper home from home. The location is perfect for visiting the NorthYorkshire coastline. Thank you to our hosts for their kindness and biscuits.

Lovely cottage in a quiet location with a sea view in the distance. Everything you need and really comfortable beds. Would say its looking a little tired and need of some tlc. The host's were very helpful and on hand if needed. For us the lounge seating was very uncomfortable and we were unable to relax. Especially needed when we spent alot of time there due to torrential rain.
