The unique charm of staying in a former WW1 bunker adds to the experience, making it a memorable stay for children and adults alike.
There are no specific mentions of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score for this category.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local bars, shops, and the harbour, with beautiful coastal walks nearby. However, one mention of a challenging hill suggests some accessibility considerations.
Guests find the accommodation comfortable, with special mentions of comfortable beds and spacious rooms suitable for large groups and families.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the pool table. However, a negative comment about an oven not reaching the correct temperature and the coin meter for electricity suggests some maintenance issues.
The host's thoughtfulness is noted with gifts for grandchildren and the provision of children's cutlery and plates. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, guests should be aware that this is a kind gesture that may not be a consistent offering.

Situated at Staithes, near Whitby, these former World War I army bunkers are in an idyllic position close to the countryside and sea. Four of the barracks have been ingeniously and tastefully transformed to provide good quality accommodation retaining much rustic character and charm. The remaining four lodges retain their near original condition as a visual reminder of their former function. Each refurbished lodge has the added advantage of free parking, an outdoor sitting area and bike parking racks.
Situated just off the Cleveland Way, there are many fine moorland and cliff top walks. There is a golf course and driving range in Brotton, 6¾ miles away, and at Scaling Reservoir, 7¼ miles, there is sailing and fishing. There is a leisure centre 2 miles down the road and a 2-minute stroll down the cobbled street brings you to the centre of the picturesque fishing village with its small harbour nestling beneath rugged cliffs. Step back in time and walk the quaint narrow passages, as Captain James Cook himself must have done. Here in Staithes there are village shops, pubs, cafés and a restaurant, and in 2020 the village was featured on the BBC programme ’Gone Christmas Fishing’ with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. Why not travel on Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Express (the North Yorkshire Moors Railway) through ’Heartbeat’ country, or visit Whitby and its famous abbey which is 11 miles away.
Open planned kitchen/diner recently refurbished 2022.
Please note: As the four lodges are in close proximity to one another, they could be booked for groups of up to 24 guests. Additional en-suite rooms available on site, on request with owner..

Captains Cottage was a fabulous place to stay. It is a great location with easy acces to beautiful coastal walks & local amenities in Staithes. There is plenty of space and as a group of friends we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay which was excellent value for money. We will definitely return!

A lovely space for a walking holiday with friends. A really nice big space to cook and relax after wet weather on the beach. The addition of the pool table was much appreciated and the host the was very helpful and quick to reply.

Party of 12 stayed for 2 nights. Captains quarters is conveniently placed for local bars and shops and not far from bus stop to visit further afield. We loved staying there, plenty of room and the place is s very well equipped we had everything we needed. Host even have us towels on the day and came back the next day to see if we needed anything, Sarah was just on the end of the phone if I needed to ask questions. The pool table was a big hit and dogs were catered for and happy and comfortable. We will be visiting again.
