• "Excellent conversion job Delightful place to stay Perfect location Comms from owner/ site very helpful Happy to recommend With the CoOp at the top of the bank, a broader welcome pack that included things like pepper/salt, baking foil, kitchen roll etc would be most useful."

  After a 5 hour drive and when you want to relax, the bank was the last thing you want to climb!

• "The location was wonderful, and if the weather is favourable, you can spend many hours in the outdoor area admiring the view."

  The accommodation is compact, but contains everything needed for a short stay. No welcome pack, so bring own essentials as local supermarket is a 3/4 mile walk away. Really enjoyed our stay.

• "We really loved the property, quirky was an apt description, but in a really good way."

  The location was great, with a prime viewpoint of the beck, and the high-up patio area was lovely of an evening. Someone else mentioned in another review about the bed being a standard double, but it was comfortable enough and the quirky use of the bathroom door and sliding door was pure genius. I thought the build quality, i.e. wood throughout was superb. The WiFi was good and massively important as we had no "O2" phone signal in the harbour, so phoning over WiFi was essential. Bigger bath towels would have been nice, but do appreciate that could present problems with drying space. Loved the harbour (both sides of the foot bridge), particularly liked sitting outside "The Royal George Hotel" (great food and service), and much better that the "Cod & Lobster" which looked more like a seaside cafe' inside than a quaint pub. The arrival was challenging, as its double yellow lines just about everyway, apart from a few 40 min maximum stay spaces, so we just pulled up at the bend, got everything out quickly and then drove back up the hill to park the car, as the steep hill is not kind if considering wheeling suitcases up or down. I read horror stories about the Top Bank parking (just google it and you will see what I mean about parking fines and the confusion of the council owned side and parking company owned side, so I decided to use "Just Park" app and booked someone's driveway in Cliff, which worked out cheaper and less hassle (just 2 mins walk up from the carparks). Anyway we loved the accommodation, the harbour/village, cheery locals, and location for trips to Whitby, Coastal Path walks (Runswick Bay), Robin Hood's Bay and Saltburn (did not like Scarborough). Tip when leaving property, drive your car down between 17:00 - 17:20pm the evening before and snag one of the 40 min parking spaces, as the parking is free after 18:00pm and starts again at 09:00am the next morning, plus the 40 mins means you can pack your car at your leisure and leave just 20 mins before you need to anyway. Summary – we loved it, Staithes is lovely and strengthens your calf muscles.

• "Advice to first time visitors."

  Park at the top of the hill and walk down into the village apon arriving, before unloading, to get your bearings and find the property and choose where you might unload. As the single village access street bears right , you'll see a gallery in front of. Look left, that snicket leads to the footbridge. The property is the second set of stone steps to your left before reaching the bridge. Slide the large screen door to reveal the access doors to the property.

  The hill to the car park is very steep and the steps to the property are quite steep. When you are not so good on your legs this is totally unsuitable. Plus it cost £42 pounds to park for the week. All this should be made clear when looking to book.

• "This is the perfect place for a cosy relaxing break."

  I visited on my own and this was perfect for me as a base for exploring the village and surrounding coast and countryside. Staithes is a beautiful village with stunning views; however visitors should bear in mind that there is limited parking in the village and the available car parks are accessed via a short steep climb out of Staithes. The Old Joiners Shop has been beautifully renovated to a high standard with all requirements catered for. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

• "Location is great, right in the centre, the steps to the property require a bit of care, particularly when carrying luggage."

  It was smaller than we expected. though the use of space was very clever, we still had to pile up some things on the floor. The kitchen is well set out with plenty of utensils. Knives need sharpening and the cooker hood is noisy. Little space for food storage. There's a fold out dining table but we didn't use it since it would leave little space to move around. Taps in the kitchen and bathroom need tightening up. Bathroom is well set out, a good shower with plenty of hot water. The poorly fitting bathroom doors and open top means toilet privacy is limited. Anti-slip mat in shower has some black mould. The bed, a standard double, is comfortable. The outside space is great, though there's no morning or evening sun.

  I would stay here again. It was good to have a pint of milk, as the butchers had closed by mid-day. I have a couple of minor niggles. The complimentary wine didn't appeal - it was one with added fruit, not real wine. The hospitality tea and coffee had not been checked for a while - the coffee was old and stuck in one big lump. The teabags in a plastic bag saying 'ordinary tea' tasted terrible. There were no dishwasher tablets, and it wasn't worth us buying some for 2 nights. We had difficulty finding out how to switch on the bathroom towel rail. When I contacted Gary the week before our stay, to ask about un-loading, he said to look out for traffic wardens, but there is a designated unloading area on the street nearby, which he didn't mention. I also enquired if there were any extra pillows or a parasol for the terrace, but got no reply to these queries. Otherwise, a great stay in a lovely location.

  The property certainly qualifies as an "Amazing Space", being small but having everything you need for a self-catered holiday. The clever use of every bit of space means there is ample storage without feeling cluttered. The location is ideal for exploring the coast in either direction, and Staithes itself is a lovely place to spend some down time. If there is any down side it is the climb up and down the steep hill to the car park, but then the lack of cars makes for a sense of peace and quiet (other than the seagulls). We will definitely recommend The Old Joiner's Shop to friends and family, and would love to return at some time in the future.

  However, there were three disappointments. The main one is that the mattress on the bed is of poor quality and past it’s best. This was disappointing in a property portrayed as one of high quality. We found this mattress was most uncomfortable. The second was that the cooker hood fan doesn’t work. The light worked so the hood is powered but the fan function did not. Finally there was a lot of fluff and dust behind the sofa and table when we pulled this out to use. Of the three items we have mentioned the mattress would put us off returning to what is otherwise a delightful place to stay.

  No cutlery in the property - not a problem for us as we did not plan to cater etc. On the day of checkout an attempt to enter the property without our permission was made. We were aware of the door being opened but no one had knocked etc. The door could not be opened as we had left the key in. It was before 9:30 am so we were well before the departure time. When challenged we were told that the female whom did not identify herself "just wanted to drop the washing off". We were in the process of getting ready so we had to retreat to the bedroom and allow the female (still did not explain whom she was) to drop Two large bags of bedding/wine/milk etc. This should not happen and should be left until paying customers have vacated the property. No apology was made and we were made to feel like an inconvenience and that we had done something wrong. My wife was very upset. THIS NEEDS ADDRESSING.

  It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, the owners left tea ,coffee and milk which was really appreciated after a long journey and also a bottle of wine which we thought was a very nice touch.

The only grumble ( not at the property as this is fantastic) is the inconsiderate parking of some people.

  The scenery was beautiful of the harbour and the sea. We went to the 2 pubs -The Royal George and The Cod and Lobster to have a lovely meal. The house and streets are so quaint, they are some great walk ways too. The Seagulls screetched morning, noon and night, however, after the first night we got used to it. We went day trips to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, and Scarborough which aren't that far away from Staithes. Went on steam train from Whitby to Pickering costing £62, loved it. Went on the boat at Whitby which was only £3 per person. I felt relaxed and would recommend this holiday.
