  Wonderful weeks stay in this lovely traditional seaside cottage.

  Clevelyn is in such a perfect location and is spacious, very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Thank you for the welcome pack too which was much appreciated! The place does need a little painting and new carpet in areas but this didn’t spoil our enjoyment. Will certainly highly recommend the cottage to friends and family! Great communication and info from Sykes during booking too, thank you. I must mention the parking though which we found quite a pain to be honest. Two options for parking. Council at £6 for 24 hours and an alternative at £16!! No matter what time we got back the council park was always full! Waited over half hour for space one evening and then over 20 mins the following day! Then didn’t want to use car again for rest of week for fear of not getting a space. We used buses thereafter which thankfully was a really good efficient service! I noticed a resident only parking area adjacent to car park which was always half full. Just a suggestion but could a parking permit be obtained for guests and cost of this added to the price of cottage??

  Fabulous cottage in a fabulous location.

  Originally from the area I wanted a base to show my partner and children the sights. We have four boys ranging from 14 to 13 weeks and the cottage was ideal. The boys loved exploring the four floors and having their own rooms on the top floor. The facilities were great and catered for our every need. The cottage was very tastefully decorated with lovely little touches. The only ‘issues’ that some people need to consider is that there is no parking at the property and the stairs are quite steep. Both of these are highlighted in the Cottages’s description and weren’t a problem for us. We sourced local free parking and actually enjoyed the stroll to and from the cars each day. Staithes itself is beautiful. The kids loved playing in the harbour and the river behind the cottage. There is a butchers and sweet shop minutes walk from the cottage and a Co-op and fish and chip shop within walking distance. Out of Staithes we visited Saltburn, Runswick Bay, Falling Foss , Sandsend and Whitby and all were an easy drive away.

  We were unable to stay at the property, so cannot comment on it.

  One of us ended up being hospitalised in that week, and the other was down with Covid. Changing the dates, as offered on the website, meant we would have had to pay over 100% extra on top of the original price. This was regardless of any alternate dates we offered. Hardly an encouragement to try to change the dates or leave us feeling any sense of fairness in play! The phone-call to you about our problem was equally disappointing to say the least, with very little flexibility or understanding. In fact you justified the additional charges by saying a lot of people book cottages in Oct, but the new price we were given ran through to Xmas. This I said to you. So how an apartment in the first week of Sept is half the price of the same property say in the first week of November beats me! This was a very last minute booking made when we were both well, so what happened to us was completely unforeseen. We are not encouraged.

  We have been well overdue our holiday this year having both been working from home since the onset of the pandemic.

  We have holidayed in Staithes before and were really looking forward to our visit this year. Clevelyn didnt disappoint. First and foremost from the second we walked through the door we knew the place was clean, it smelt it! The kitchen was spotless with freshly pressed tea towels and a new dish sponge. ( I had brought all of my own things in case I needed to use them but there really was no need). The bedrooms and bathroom were all beautiful made up and the lounge was just so comfortable - we relaxed immediately. The weather was poor but who cares about that, we still went on cliff top walks and adventures and we still managed to have amazing food in the Cod and Lobster and pints in the Royal George. I love the little butcher shop and stuffed my face with chocolates from the deli. A proper holiday and just what we needed. We will be back !

  I gave this 5 stars because there was very little that could be added to make the stay even more perfect for us.

  I loved where it was positioned on the holiday park - it was so quiet and peaceful. We loved watching the rabbits in the morning and evenings. I stayed with my 19 year old daughter, and 14 year old son (who turned 15 whilst we were there). It was perfect for us because we didn't want to use the park facilities particulaly, only the fish and chip takeaway, the ice-cream place and the Nisa mini-supermarket. We thought it could benefit from some big spaghetti bowls and some side lamps. Apart from that it was perfect. A big and comfy seating area. Comfy beds. Generous supply of tea and coffee. Soft bedding. Car parking right next to caravan. And great to be between Filey and Scarborough, so we could visit our family and friends! If you have younger children I would highly recommend the park facilities, of play ground, swimming pool and much more!
