• "This was our second visit to Clevelyn and we had a fabulous time."

  Milk, bread and cookies waiting for us on arrival. Unfortunately I damaged a light fitting in the house due to my own clumsiness, I spoke with the owner who was so understanding and kind. I offered to pay for the damages and was told "these things happen, don't you worry, go enjoy the rest of your holiday " so lovely of her. Thank you, we will be back

  Kate thank you for your lovely positive feedback. Accidents happen and it was good of you to let us know. Easily solved. We look forward to welcoming you for your third visit! Property Owner

• "A really well located holiday home that’s surprisingly roomy yet still cosy."

  The kitchen was very well equipped which was really appreciated, and each of the bedrooms was so cosy and made for a great night’s sleep. We couldn’t find the back door key but that was probably just us being daft, everything else was made so easy by the instruction email. Very much enjoyed our stay in your wonderful home and we’d love to come back again.

  Hi Alice So glad you enjoyed your stay at Clevelyn. Regarding the back door, there is no key. The door can only be opened from the inside using the two bolts on the inside of the door. Please return as welcome back any time. Allison & Tony Property Owner

• "We absolutely loved this place, comfortable, full of chatacter and tastefully furnished, we didn't want to leave!"

  Really appreciated the milk and bread which was kindly left for us by the owners. It was cold when we first arrived and took some time to warm up, it could have been more welcoming if the heating had been on in advance of our arrival. Otherwise, though, everything was perfect.We fell in love with Staithes and will be back.

  So happy you loved staying in our holiday home. We take on board what you say about the heating being on before you arrive and will strive to do better in the future. You are welcome back anytime, and thank you for your positive review . We will do better next time Property Owner

• "We (4 adults) stayed at Clevelyn for 5 nights."

  We had a very comfortable stay in the cottage. Everything was as described. The cottage is very well situated for the village. However, we would recommend booking the private car par in the peak season as you cannot park in the main village. We would recommend Clevelyn and Staithes as somewhere to see and visit.

  Thank you so much for your positive review. You are welcome back to Clevelyn anytime. Property Owner

• "Wonderful weeks stay in this lovely traditional seaside cottage."

  Clevelyn is in such a perfect location and is spacious, very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Thank you for the welcome pack too which was much appreciated! The place does need a little painting and new carpet in areas but this didn’t spoil our enjoyment. Will certainly highly recommend the cottage to friends and family! Great communication and info from Sykes during booking too, thank you. I must mention the parking though which we found quite a pain to be honest. Two options for parking. Council at £6 for 24 hours and an alternative at £16!! No matter what time we got back the council park was always full! Waited over half hour for space one evening and then over 20 mins the following day! Then didn’t want to use car again for rest of week for fear of not getting a space. We used buses thereafter which thankfully was a really good efficient service! I noticed a resident only parking area adjacent to car park which was always half full. Just a suggestion but could a parking permit be obtained for guests and cost of this added to the price of cottage??

  Thank you for your review and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in ‘Clevelyn’. You are more than welcome back. As to the parking unfortunately a parking permit would not give you access to the residents parking spots. They are for permanent residents of the village only not holiday let owners. There is a private car park ‘Glenvale’ you can book online and pay upfront for the duration of your stay which guarantees you a dedicated parking spot. Painting (which is touched up regularly) and new carpets is on our agenda for Jan/Feb 2024. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage."

  Kitchen/dining room fully stocked with all the cooking equipment needed for an army. (I didn't do any, as I was only their for the weekend, but cupboards were full). Staithes has a (short) steep hill from the car park, but an easy walk into the village shops. Short drive to Whitby and Saltburn beach. Ideally placed for the Cleveland way with buses returning from Whitby etc.

  Barbara Thank you so much for your positive feedback. Lovely to know you appreciate our well equipped kitchen, I’m always adding stuff! Please come back and stay in Clevelyn again, you would be most welcome. Allison & Tony Property Owner

  The location was perfect very close to the centre of staithes and 2 of the pubs which both served amazing food. We had a wonderful week and we will definately return.

  Sharon Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We try and accommodate dogs as best we can. We have a dog ( a naughty Frenchie!) so it’s lovely that you acknowledge we are pet friendly.

• "We had a lovely comfortable stay in Clevelyn cottage."

  It is very well equipped with just about everything you could need. Missed not having a pair of scissors and a measuring jug in the kitchen. Would like information pack to be left more prominent with how to turn heaters on as it took us quite a while to find the switches and cottage was really cold on our arrival. We have stayed in several cottages in staithes and found the Clevelyn to meet all our needs in space and comfort. Hope very much to visit again next year

  Thank you for your positive feedback. We have now bought more scissors and jugs. They were bought originally but may have been broken and disposed of over time. We have also taken on board your comments regarding the information pack. You are welcome back anytime Property Owner

  The cottage is in a lovely spot in Staithes. There were 5 of us that stayed and there was more than enough room. We loved that the property is over 4 floors. We did have a couple of queries while we were staying in the property and the owner quickly responded and sorted them out. If we stayed at Staithes again we would consider returning to this property

  we were not disappointed. An excellent house with all the facilities. 6 of us were accommodated easily and all being well we'll be back next year. One request. There are plenty of signs saying Mind Your Head on the way down to and up from the kitchen, my bald scalp says I didn't on a number of occasions. Please could you put a bit of padding on the offending bits.

• "We have been well overdue our holiday this year having both been working from home since the onset of the pandemic."

  We have holidayed in Staithes before and were really looking forward to our visit this year. Clevelyn didnt disappoint. First and foremost from the second we walked through the door we knew the place was clean, it smelt it! The kitchen was spotless with freshly pressed tea towels and a new dish sponge. ( I had brought all of my own things in case I needed to use them but there really was no need). The bedrooms and bathroom were all beautiful made up and the lounge was just so comfortable - we relaxed immediately. The weather was poor but who cares about that, we still went on cliff top walks and adventures and we still managed to have amazing food in the Cod and Lobster and pints in the Royal George. I love the little butcher shop and stuffed my face with chocolates from the deli. A proper holiday and just what we needed. We will be back !

• "A residents parking permit would be great as to pay for your seven day ticket at £70 you need to go online."

  The signal is not always great and if you couldn't get a signal at time of arrival you may struggle as the only other option would be to pay with change. The cost would be added to the rentals weekly cost. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. It really is a lovely location (if a little hard on the legs) and we would def recommend to friends and family and return again.

• "Slightly disappointed in Clevelyn, Staithes."

  Lovely village, however I wasn’t fully aware of the extra cost of the daily parking (£5 per day) which added to the cost of the holiday. I feel this should be made aware of in the cottage info. Whilst the cottage had been refurbished in places, new furniture/ kitchen etc, it was also quite grubby in other areas. The windows were very dirty so too areas in the kitchen cupboards/drawers. The toilet in the main bathroom had a tendency to block and the hot water in the evenings ran out. Also felt the bed linen in the double bedroom on the top floor was of a poor quality. All in all , frustratingly the property let itself down which is a shame.

• "Fabulous cottage in a fabulous location."

  Originally from the area I wanted a base to show my partner and children the sights. We have four boys ranging from 14 to 13 weeks and the cottage was ideal. The boys loved exploring the four floors and having their own rooms on the top floor. The facilities were great and catered for our every need. The cottage was very tastefully decorated with lovely little touches. The only ‘issues’ that some people need to consider is that there is no parking at the property and the stairs are quite steep. Both of these are highlighted in the Cottages’s description and weren’t a problem for us. We sourced local free parking and actually enjoyed the stroll to and from the cars each day. Staithes itself is beautiful. The kids loved playing in the harbour and the river behind the cottage. There is a butchers and sweet shop minutes walk from the cottage and a Co-op and fish and chip shop within walking distance. Out of Staithes we visited Saltburn, Runswick Bay, Falling Foss , Sandsend and Whitby and all were an easy drive away.

  Cleaner was still there after 3pm and I think rushed a bit. The fire place didn't look like it had been cleared in weeks as we had to clear out a lot of compressed ash. No logs or lighters provided which would have been a nice welcome. Ensuite shower room and separate bathroom were really good although the amount of hot water in the cylinder only allowed a small volume of water in the bath before it cooled off. Overall very good and would definitely recommend to friends and family.
