About this property
Post Box Cottage offers family-friendly accommodation with three bedrooms, one double and two single rooms. Downstairs, the cosy open plan living area is traditionally furnished, with comfortable leather sofas, a well-equipped kitchen and a dining table to one end. It has the added benefit of a downstairs cloakroom, always useful for families. Outside, there is off road parking for two cars and a private front patio, enabling guests to sit and enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine, before heading off for the day. With Staithes just a 10 minute walk away, and the surrounding countryside at your fingertips, this delightful cottage provides a lovely, quiet place to stay. Note: This property adjoins Ref. 919000, together they sleep 10.
The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour.

Very well equipped, everything you need. The cottage is in a lovely spot and not far from amenities. The welcome basket and milk in the fridge was very much appreciated, thank you.
