About this property
A pretty, stone semi-detached property, imaginatively converted from former farm buildings on the owners' smallholding, in the peaceful village of Staintondale, half way between Whitby and Scarborough. Sympathetically restored, this Staintondale cottage is just perfect for a romantic holiday or a small family break. This delightful Staintondale cottage oozes charm and character, with exposed timbers, boarded doors and quirky low windows. Tastefully furnished, the cosy open plan living area has a warming woodburning stove, small dining area and well-equipped kitchen, providing very comfortable accommodation. Outside this Staintondale cottage is a shared lawned area - a lovely spot to sit and relax in the sun and to take in the glorious panoramic views over open countryside, forestry and sea.
Guests are welcome to explore the fields and wood and meet the friendly Shetland ponies, the Highland cows and the black sheep! With a network of public footpaths straight from the door, this wonderful location is a walker's paradise. Enjoy the many delights of the area including hidden coves and beaches, exhilarating cliff top walks and coastal villages such as Ravenscar and Robin Hood's Bay. Be sure to allow time to drive five minutes to Ravenscar, where you can walk down to the foot of the cliffs to view the seal colony - a wonderful sight, not to be missed. Ideally placed, a lovely Staintondale cottage to recharge the batteries all year round.
Note: This property adjoins Ref. 1196 and together they can accommodate up to 8 people.
Staintondale is a delightful unspoilt village on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, yet only half a mile from the coast. From Staintondale, a network of footpaths and bridleways can be enjoyed from the village. A superb base from which to explore the region.

Great walks from the door and plenty to see and do without travelling far. Welcome pack was much appreciated and Pippa was very helpful with information when we arrived.

It is cosy and warm, no matter what the weather is like outside and it is nestled in the most spectacular landscape. Pippa, Graham and Roxy are lovely hosts.
