About this property
Staithes 2.5 miles. Nestled within the North Yorkshire village of Runswick Bay, near Staithes, is this lovely, two-bedroom lodge, Marigold Lodge, well-positioned for exploring both the coastline and the North York Moors National Park. Inviting four guests to enjoy a tranquil base, the lodge is complete with two stylish bedrooms, an open-plan living space, and a luxurious hot tub, offering all the essentials for a relaxing break. The open-plan living space features a well-equipped kitchen, dining for four guests, and a lovely sitting area, complete with a delightful electric fire, perfect for setting a warm ambience. Venture through the French doors to reach the private decked area, made for alfresco dining and peaceful mornings with a coffee in hand. Use this space to stargaze and while the night away from the indulgent hot tub, ahead of catching some rest from either the king-size or twin bedrooms. Spend your morning along Runswick Bay Beach for some fresh sea air, followed by a few hours of swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking, ahead of some brunch at a local café. For further amenities, head to Staithes, where you’ll find a hub of convenience stores, takeaways, restaurants, taverns, tea rooms, and fish and chip shops. Take in the stunning coastal views across the region by following the 109-mile-long Cleveland Way trail, leading you north towards the national park, travelling through many lovely coastal communities. Be sure to tour Whitby for a day of fun, where you can tour the gothic remains of Whitby Abbey, shop at a host of independent stores, dine out, and visit the Captain Cook Museum, plus much more. Make lovely memories at Marigold Lodge.
A delight for artists, Staithes is a quaint, peaceful seaside town with cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways. A secluded sandy beach is nestled among the rocky shoreline, and the town's charming homes and cottages are grouped around the historic harbour and bordered by high, jagged cliffs on three sides. The community can claim ties to Captain Cook, who served as an apprentice to a draper close to the harbour. Today, Staithes, which boasts a decent selection of pubs, shops, and tea rooms, is a must-see for anyone travelling to the Yorkshire Coast. There is still an rnli lifeboat station in Staithes, along with a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) that land fish, crab, and lobster. Boat trips are also offered for fishing, birdwatching, and even whale watching. Old Jack's Boat, a well-liked BBC children's television programme, is also filmed there. With an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries, and artist studios that frequently provide art classes and seminars, Staithes has a strong draw for artists. The network of ginnels (alleyways) is navigated by the free Illusion Trail, which also offers local trail guides. The Cleveland Way, which descends the cliff to the sea's edge, offers the best views of the town. All in all, a great starting point for touring the Yorkshire Coast, going to Whitby or Scarborough, or taking in the moorland settlements of the North York Moors National Park.

We was pleasantly suprised at how well equipped it was. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The beds were very comfy. On arrival the place looked clean and tidy however after being there for 5 mins my socks got covered in dog fur from a previous tenant. Luckily there was a hoover in the cupboard so I could hoover up all the dog hair. The fridge and freezer had also been left off so they were warm and a bit stinky when we arrived. The hot tub was perfect for us as a family of 3. But you would struggle to fit 4 adults in comfortably. We also wasn't too keen on the location of marigold lodge on the park itself as the hot tub sat right on the drive way. Which was fine when sitting in as the fence created privacy But when we got out of the hot tub we were on display to anyone passing by. There is parking for 1 car and they are small spaces. When we arrived a neighbour had also parked right next to our lodge as they had 2 cars. They wanted to leave it there but we requested they move it as it was right by our hot tub area. But there is limited additional parking. All of these issues were minor to us though and didn't spoil our time away. The location was perfect for us to explore the coast. Whitby, Robin hoods bay, falling Foss and Scarborough. It was very quiet there too which we liked and we visited the pub round the corner which served delicious food. We would return again in the future but maybe book a different lodge which has more privacy.

Home from home, the added bonus would have been a clothes airer but the site does have a dryer so we could manage for our stay. 10/10. Comfy beds, very clean, we donât have a dog but you certainly couldnât tell it is a property that allow dogs. Fantastic location, 10 minute walk down to the beach, it is very steep walking up and down but so worth it, clean beach with a cafe and ice cream shop, toilets and parking. A very short walk is Runswick Bay Hotel at the entrance to the site which serve amazing food and the staff are fantastic. We will be back!
