• "A lovely clean and comfortable cottage which was very well equipped with everything you needed for a perfect home from home stay."

  Nicely located for visiting the north yorkshire coast and moors. Loved the super king size bed. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Recommend for a relaxing break and so much to do in the local area.

• "Everything was absolutely wonderful at the Loft."

  I could not have asked for more. The attention to detail, comfort and cleanliness are second to none. Pippa and Graham were marvellous hosts. Staintondale is a very special place with stunning views and beautiful walks from the doorstep. Don't hesitate in booking, you will be delighted with your stay.

• "Six footers beware the exposed beams and sloping ceilings."

  Provided you take rudimentary self care and awareness, though, you will be rewarded with cosy and romantic accommodation in one of the most beautiful parts of England. Easy access to moors, coast and local towns makes this an attractive booking proposition. The property itself is clean, tidy and provided all our needs for a recent long weekend away. I would not hesitate to book again.

• "Brilliant location and a lovely place to stay, owners were very friendly and welcoming."

  The accommodation was spotless and everything was catered for, definitely worth a visit and stay. The area was perfect for exploring, loads of literature in the accommodation for walking and places of interest.The pub in Cloughton called the Byherstones was amazing, the food was outstanding. The Sunday roast was exceptional but do book if you want to go, and the homemade pie was also fantastic, both times the meat melted in your mouth. The coastline is outstanding in the area would definitely come back again.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at the Loft."

  The accommodation and gardens were brilliant and the hosts Graham and Pippa were really welcoming and offered some great suggestions for local walks and pubs. We would definitely stay again and recommend a visit to one of their cottages. The only minor issue was that the WiFi signal was poor and we lost WiFi connection on several occasions, this is understandable in a rural location, but worth planning for!

• "A wonderful stay in a very comfortable, well equipped holiday cottage."

  The location is perfect for visiting the coast between Bridlington and Saltburn and up onto the moors. The only slightly negative comment would be that the outside sitting area for The Loft needed a bit of TLC.

• "A beautiful property, so cosy and decorated to a high standard."

  There are plenty of practical items and a selection of books, DVDs and even some binoculars for watching the local wildlife. The grounds are wonderful, perfect for an evening stroll. Unfortunately we weren’t blessed with good weather so we didn’t have much chance to enjoy, however we did get to meet the two adorable Highland cows. The Loft is situated between Scarborough and Whitby, but not too far from Staithes, Robin Hood’s Bay and the picturesque Sandsend (I would definitely recommend a visit!). The Clevelend Way walk from Ravenscar to Robin Hood’s Bay is lovely too - very hilly, but the views are wonderful. Also not far away is the pretty Falling Foss waterfall and tea gardens. A perfect place to just sit, observe and listen to nature. The owners, Pippa and Graham, are very friendly and helpful and they are available if you need anything. They they have a very friendly dog too, who greeted us like old friends! We had a lovely time whilst we were there (we had to leave early due to a family emergency) but the few days we had there were appreciated and allowed us to recharge our batteries in a relaxing, pretty and comfortable environment. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to The Loft. Thank you.

  It was for my birthday that happened to coincide with the Coronation. My partner and I have a hectic job involving shift work. We appreciated the location, very beautiful and quiet. The scenery is gorgeous. Friendly welcoming hosts. Thanks Graham and Pippa. The loft was lovely, just the right size for a couple. Has all the facilities you need. Only thing missing is a washing machine. Not that we needed one. Very clean and well presented, great use of space. Wi-fi during our stay was a bit hit and miss. Great location for exploring local area. Will definitely stay again when back up in North Yorkshire.

• "We stayed at The Loft from 3/6/22-10/6/22 and had a really great time."

  Hillside Farm is in beautiful location, the scenery was breathtaking. The loft was lovely and clean with everything you need, a real home from home. Graham and Pippa had thought of everything and we’re very friendly. They provided coffee, tea, milk and a chocolate treat which was a nice and thoughtful touch. The small town of Staintondale is close to Scarborough and Whitby and an excellent location to explore North Yorkshire.

• "A lovely cottage with all amenities thought of by the hosts."

  There were fresh baked goods on arrival and even a bottle of milk! With gorgeous scenery all around, The Loft was a wonderfully cosy place to snuggle up after a day of exploring the local coastline, and listen to the wind howling outside... Graham was kind enough to show me his extensive fossil collection when I told him that the natural history of the area was a huge draw for me. He told us good walks to take, places to eat, places to hunt for fossils and he even gave me a couple that he found on the beach! The only thing that I would change; and it really is a minor detail!- a small sofa or cuddle chair to replace the tub chairs, as we didn't find them particularly comfortable. We'd love to return in the high season!

  Nice location, peaceful and picturesque. The owners were always friendly and very helpful. Their local knowledge was invaluable. Could do with a height warning on listing. Anyone over 5'9" ie 1.75m would hit their heads on beams as it is what it says- a loft. Anyone under 5'9" could not easily open or shut the roof shutters.

  Enjoyed walks from the cottage down the cinder track to Ravenscar and to Hayburn Wyke and further afield to Goathland to visit Mallyann Spout waterfall and walking along the coastal path from Robin Hood's Bay.

  The cottage was well equipped with everything you need to be self sufficient although we did enjoy a couple of meals at two local pubs.

  We were met by Pippa who made us feel very welcome,she was very helpful with her knowledge of the local area and afar. The cottage was far better than the pictures.
