  • "Comfortable and cosy small cottage, perfect for a relaxing short break."

    Conveniently situated for the shops, harbour, pub and Cleveland Way. Everyone we met was friendly, will definitely go back. Host helpfully provided parking permit for council car park with instructions - these could be more explicit about where NOT to park as I parked in the residents section and got a fine. My fault, I should have read the instructions more carefully, but one to look out for. Didn’t spoil the holiday!

  • "Parking! Only 40 minutes available near the property."

    Nearest other car park is on top of a steep hill which you have to pay for. This should be made clear.

    I apologise for the inconvenience, the parking information is written in the profile -exactly as you state. I have changed the wording several times previously to make the situation clear to guests. Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of the village, parking will always be an issue. Property Owner

  • "Great accommodation, very central only issue was PARKING."

    Parking needs to be explained fully, we had to pay an extra 70 pounds for a weeks parking, very disappointing!

  • "I feel the the advert stated that there was off road parking that wasn't the case and very misleading."

    I got an Email approximately 48 hrs prior to the holiday date stating that was not the case.It. cost a further £70 for parking for the week.I think you need to rectify the problem , Apart from the above the property was cosy and met our needs

    I apologise for any misunderstanding and have re worded the information, so hopefully it is clearer. The road side parking(10m from the cottage) is available for 40 mins during the day and overnight between 6pm and 9 am. The long stay parking, at Bank Top, is free for some months and in high season will cost £50 per week and can be paid cash, card or via the app. I am pleased you found the cottage welcoming.

  • "We specifically booked the cottage as it had parking, which you don't normally ger in Staithes, to be informed a few days before that it was no longer available and we would have to pay to use the council car park at the top of the village."

    We queried if we would receive compensation for the inconvenience and they didn't even have the grace to reply. Cottage was lovely, with everything we needed, in a fantastic location.

    Sorry for late response as away on holidays. I have re worded the parking information and hope it is clearer. The free on road parking outside the cottage, is limited to 40 mins during the day and then available from 6pm until 9 am. The long stay car park, at the top of the hill, varies in price depending upon low/high season. It can cost up to £50 for the entire week but can be paid by cash, card or via the app. Pleased you found the cottage relaxing. Property Owner

The property

Hinderwell House is a lovely, 1832 cottage perched on the North Yorkshire coast, in the beautiful fishing village of Staithes.

Close to amenities and breathtaking views of the North Sea, this property sleeps two and is perfect for couples seeking a relaxing retreat.

Step into a welcoming, open-plan living space where you'll whip up your favourite meals in the well-equipped kitchen, with dinner dates around the dining table, before cuddling up by the woodburning stove to watch your favourite movies on the Smart TV.

Wake up early from a restful night in the double bed's soft linens, take a steaming shower to freshen up, then make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and sit on the patio to watch the sun go up before heading out on an adventure-filled day.

You'll find plenty of things to see and do in the stunning village of Staithes; head to Cod & Lobster, a seaside pub to have a taste of some local seafood, partake of afternoon tea and delicious cakes at Dotty's Vintage Tearoom, marvel at the art displayed in Staithes Gallery, and for a taste of history head over to Staithes Museum.

Drive down to the gorgeous seaside town of Whitby and visit the ruins Whitby Abbey, once a source of inspiration to many known poets and writers, then see if you can manage the climb up the 199 Steps - those brave enough to do so will be rewarded with amazing, sweeping views of the town and harbour.

Don your bathing suits and lounge in the sun at Whitby Beach, or make your way to Whitby Whale Watching for a boat trip along the sea where you might spot some sea creatures.

Lovers of nature can set off to the North York Moors National Park, where you'll be spoilt for choice for walks, hikes and scenic points.

Start off at Mulgrave Woods, where you'll be able to walk past the ruins of Mulgrave Castle, then Mallyan Spout Waterfall and then head to the National Trust's Bridestones, Crosscliff & Blakey Topping, for vast and undisturbed views of the park.

Hinderwell House is the perfect base for a new adventure with your loved one.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

STAITHES

Whitby 10 miles.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.
