  The coach house is a lovely little place and the hosts are really thoughtful.

  The place is spotless clean and close to some nearby facilities as shops, pubs, restaurants and entertainment such as go karting, fishing lakes etc. The people in the area are friendly and at the pub etc they will happily chat over to you, in the local shops they were helpful not to mention that the local area also has nice walks and countryside. The only downsides to this is that there is no real garden so the outdoor space is very limited if travelling with dogs or young kids that may want to play out in an enclosed garden. However the terrace area is lovely to sit out and enjoy a drink, plus there are nearby walks and parks to go with dogs and kids if able. The main problem with the Coach House is the street you have to come up to the house which is a steep terrace street but it hasn’t seemingly been surfaced , which was no problem for my 4x4 but I was concerned it was damaging my sons little BMW which made it up but struggled . There is only one official space to park once up the top as well. So a second car has to find somewhere to potentially park on the street, of which you can do . That said there are a lot of small cars parked on the street up which also have to navigate this very uneven track and they seem to manage so I may just be worrying to much, I did drive my sons car up one day and after a lot of noise and wheel spinning I made it , which I didn’t enjoy . However again it may say more about how nervous I was at driving up this surface. It is possible to park below ans walk up and as a short street it’s not a long walk up at all , a minute or so at most. Once at the top the Coach house is beautiful and cosy little space to spend a lovely weeks break, which is what we did. I would recommend it for lovely scenery with the view from the windows over looking cows fields and from the from window you can see down across the lovely fields below. It has all the home comforts you will need and a good selection of games to entertain kids to adults. Lovely little kitchen to cook and sit around the table to a nice family meal etc.

  Lovely cottage - the owner said they’d had many holidays there and that was what made a difference I think.

  It felt cosy like a real “home” as soon as you walked in. The decor was not the cheap “make do and mend” that you often find - it was really nicely and tastefully done. The cottage was very well equipped and the owners had anticipated most of the needs of visitors. The welcome pack was very welcome. Thank you. The cottage was lovely and clean, very warm and comfortable. It has traditional features (including a few spooky creaks and groans. We swear we heard a young child say “Daddy” just outside the bedroom door one night….. we hid under the duvet) A couple of “even better if’s”: (1) the dishwasher didn’t work properly and after three washes we had to wash the pots by hand as they were not clean at all (2) maybe leave some washing up liquid and a couple of dishwasher tabs for the next visitors (we left dish cloths). (3) The property is very difficult to find. I couldn’t find it on Google Earth so texted for clarification a few days before we went. I did not get a reply. We couldn’t find it where the post code led us, so we scoured the streets - the locals in the pub hadn’t heard of it either. The contact numbers provided were all the same number and not answered (no signal in the village so had to drive a couple of miles out of the village till I could get a signal). At one point, we even considered having to return home or find a Premier Inn for the night. I don’t know if this will help future visitors but I took the “what three words” reference: ///stylist.recorders.signature Somehow, we did spot the cottage on what was our last attempt. Negatives aside, all in all a lovely visit to a lovely cottage in a beautiful village. Our third stay in Staithes and the best cottage so far. We will be back.

  We had a wonderful stay at The Coach House.

  The cottage is absolutely beautiful and had everything that we needed. It was the perfect size for my husband and I, our two young sons and my mum - it is so spacious and our children certainly made themselves at home very quickly. The owners, Mark and Sue, went out of their way to make our stay perfect in every way and are such lovely people. The cottage is surrounded by the most beautiful countryside with many public footpaths to choose from. The Thornton viaduct is a five minute walk away and the views are breathtaking. Haworth is a 15 minute drive away, as in the Worth Valley Railway. Shibden Hall and Park (home of Anne Lister - “Gentleman Jack”) in Halifax is close by and we spent the whole day there. We also had a fantastic trip to Hesketh Farm near Bolton Abbey which is 50 minutes away. The Bronte Falls and Penistone Park are also close by. The road leading up to the cottage is quite uneven and bumpy but our little hatchback went up and down without any problems at all. It’s a perfect cottage - comfortable, light and airy with plenty of space for a young family. We loved every minute!!

  A perfect quiet village hideaway with everything we needed and a great host.

  Parking immediately outside was easy. Easy access to York, the coast and the moors. A comfy, quirky cottage with lots of split levels and low beams. Ideal for 4 people (sleeps 6 in 3 double rooms) but the lounge would be a squeeze with more than 4 people. WiFi and TV both good and loads of space throughout the property. Pretty small courtyard with plenty of seating and totally secure for the dog. Loads of hot water, comfy beds and well equipped for cooking. Simon was a great host and there are a lot of extras provided like board games. It would be useful to have a non-stick frying pan, tumble drier, and a better ironing board/iron. We made good use of the washing machine with all our muddy walking gear and there is a drying rack. The bathroom floor would be better with lino rather than carpet and this is the only thing that I think should be changed to make the property even better - a minor point as it is a great place to stay!

  This is the most beautiful house in a pretty village .

  It is lovingly furnished with period furniture and artefacts befitting its age . It was very comfortable both in the seating areas and the bedrooms . The bedding and curtains were luxurious and spotlessly clean . Our family of seven adults and four children had plenty of room to play and relax both inside and outside the house in the fabulous garden . The spotless kitchen was certainly well equipped and had everything you need to cook a meal for eleven people and we enjoyed the seating area in the garden while having our barbacue . If you appreciate an historical setting surrounded by period furnishings, then this is the house to stay in .The house is a credit to the hosts Heather and Kevin . The location is great for the coastal towns nearby and also the water park which is just down the road. (The water park hosts the weekly Parkrun as well as water activities ) A most memorable time was had by all . Celia Gibson
