About this property
A delightfully cosy, 18th century, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, set on the owners' working smallholding, in the small hamlet of Boulby in the midst of open countryside, three miles from Staithes. Renovated to a high standard and offering comfortable accommodation, this inviting property provides a real home-from-home, with original features such as a cast iron range with a warming open fire, perfect for chilly evenings. With a well-equipped kitchen and a dining area, this cottage has everything you need to prepare tasty home-cooked meals after a busy day. The king-size double bedroom offers superb country views so you can really appreciate this rural location, while the bunk room is perfect for tucking your sleepy kids to bed after a fun day exploring. Outside, you can take advantage of sunny days and sit out on the patio with a morning cup of tea, or why not enjoy a BBQ with the family? An excellent base for walkers and cyclists, the area offers many footpaths as well as the coastal Cleveland Way nearby. The seaside spa town of Saltburn and the famous fishing port of Whitby are close by, as are the many delights of the North York Moors National Park.
Staithes is a peaceful fishing village, tucked away and well protected from the sea. It is a picturesque village with a small harbour draped with fishing nets. However, it has a tempestuous and fascinating past, involving great storms, tales of smugglers and pirates, of the Armada and of Captain Cook, of great fishing fleets and the enormous ironstone industry. The cottage in which Captain Cook lived when he was apprenticed in the town still stands and there is a heritage centre dedicated to his story.

The area is steeped in history and Kirkleatham Museum is worth a visit to take a look at the Anglo Saxon treasures discovered in the area and also its mining heritage as there were 80 mines on the go at one time so there is also plenty to learn about. The cottage is first rate and Christine and Brian are so welcoming. The cottage is very well equipped but for those who do not want to cook there are plenty of good quality eating places at varying prices. If you want a nice relaxing week with fab views close to the Cleveland Way this is the place to go.

We had a really nice week and the location is brilliantly situated for so many places. A huge thank you to Christine and Brian for making us feel so welcome, for sharing their knowledge of the area and for introducing us to their ponies and goats. Would love to stay again.
