Staithes Holidays - Reviews
Amazing! lovely cottage with everything that we needed in a perfect location. We had a great time. Jackie was quick to respond to all our questions.
Lots of things to do in the area, for all ages. it seemed like a safe place for children to wander within close eye of their parents.
if (when) I visit again, I will remember my binoculars (were they dolphins swimming out at sea?) my fishing rod (mackerel being caught off the harbour wall) and will buy a fossil hammer. so many great things to do and a beautiful area for walking 🩵

I must congratulate Jackie for keeping the cottage so quaint and unspoilt. My Grandma used to live there and it still had the cosy feeling that was always there. Jackie was knowledgeable and we had family and friends in common and she also checked that I was warm and comfortable. I believe I have made a friend in Jackie and am sure we will have lot's more conversations when I come back to stay in the summer. Thank you Jackie, I had a wonderful peaceful time.

This is a great place to stay...in the old town right by the harbour but a pedestrian bridge away, so that it's a bit quieter. The cottage itself is exactly as shown in the photos, spotlessly clean and comfortable. It's close to the beach and clifftop walks including the Cleveland Way. There's parking outside the cottage with guest permit provided (parking in the main part of the old town is non-existent).Jackie was a great host who was always ready to help. I would stay again.

No issues regarding communication with the host prior to stay. Found the house and parking without any concerns with parking permite hassle free.
Fantastic and easy to use heating system and information regarding the open fire made the stay very relaxing.
Wonderful views from bedroom and outside the front door with its own bench to appreciate the surrounding area.
The information book in the house as plenty of area of interest and walks, the local museum is well worth a visit and so are all the shops and the local pub is busy but this is to be expected when the food and hospitality is excellent.
Deco suits the ambiance of the house and is well worth another visit.
Fantastic stay and thank you very much.

Jackie’s place is one of the favorite places I’ve ever stayed, and I’ve traveled a lot all over the world. I can’t say enough about the location, and the little town. It truly feels like you’re stepping back in time. I’m an artist and film maker, and have been working on a film and needed a space to be quiet and write, and this cottage could not have been more perfect. It is so, so quiet, I slept so well while I was there. Just so charming. Jackie and Max and her team were ever so helpful, not only while I was there, but for quite a while beforehand helping me to figure out trains and things how to get there from London. I loved it so much here that I hope to go back once a year for a retreat. It was chilly, and each night I lit a fire in the fireplace and curled up with books and my writing, and felt like I was in Heaven. Thanks so much Jackie for everything.

Fisherman's Cottage is a tiny charming cottage on a sharply inclined street with outstanding views of an inlet and the harbor. The spotlessly clean cottage is extremely comfortable (although the upstairs double bed was a little soft for these two Americans), the kitchen fully equipped, the linens fresh, and there is plenty of hot water. It was very quiet. For us, one prime feature was its easy access to the Cleveland Way, an outstanding hiking trail that follows the breathtaking coast. The town itself is spectacular, and the cottage's location provided ideal access. Finally, the owners were extremely generous and responsive.

A fabulous little cottage and the little garden is a sun trap if you’re lucky with the weather. I loved reading overlooking the beck, in sound and sight of the sea. Such a friendly village, fun to wander around and great walks too. Just ditch the car and relax.

We had a truly fabulous stay. The cottage was picturesque and in a truly wonderful location. it was simply stunning. It was super comfy and so cosy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with everything needed for a perfect break in a beautiful part of the country. I would highly recommend Jackie's place for a comfortable stay being well equipped, so cosy and in a perfect setting. Jackie's instructions were easy to follow and we were made most welcome by everyone.

The cottage is lovely with beautiful views and really close to everything you’d need in the village. They’ll be booking again soon!

This is the most charming fishing cottage, it is just gorgeous and you feel instantly at home. The views are stunning and it is perfectly located for the village. It is just a couple of minutes walk across the bridge to the village centre. We loved an open fire ever evening when we got home from the pub . The sofa is very comfortable, the cottage although small, is the perfect for two and a real get away, away from the stresses of city life. We parked outside the house which is ideal. The cottage gets the sun in the morning which is lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will return.

We stayed three nights and found it comfortable and convenient for visiting Staithes,.
We had thick sea fog on one day so driving out was interesting!
We cooked our main meals in the evenings. Shopping in the bottom end of Staithes is limited but we had brought food with us.
It is a quaint cottage and the stairs were a bit of a challenge for our old knees but we managed!
Lovely to watch the tides and the river flow, especially after torrential rain. Walked to the beach, around the two breakwaters and dropped a donation into the RNLI. A must do visit is to the Staithes Museum, full of local history especially Captain Cook who took his apprenticeship in Staithes, it is run by lovely local volunteers and just a 5 minute walk away…. Free entry but please make a donation to help with their bills.

Lovely weekend away. The cottage was exactly as described, small but great location and everything you need for a stay in Staithes. Parking outside was a bonus, and you’re only 2 mins walk away from the centre of Staithes across the bridge. Great pubs. Great walking. We’ll definitely use it again if it’s available.

exactly like the description and photo. lovely cosy, well equipped,clean and comfortable cottage. instructions re access and parking very helpful. Everything had been thought about from parking permit, wine glasses, hand-wash,baco foil and even hot water bottles. The heaters were super efficient and we really enjoyed the open fire. we pre booked meals at The George and the Cod and Lobster prior to our stay and they didn't disappoint. Highly recommend a stay at Fisherman's cottage. Becky the housekeeper is an absolute star!

My partner and I adored our stay at Old Jack's. We were keen to visit the sea and loved the retained authenticity of the fisherman's cottage. We ended up caught in the middle of a storm, but had amazing atmospheric views of the sea just around the corner, and cafes, pubs and the independent convenience store just minutes away. The cottage remained cozy and warm despite the weather, and it was especially lovely to come home and relax by the fire. My partner commented that it was the cleanest and tidiest place she'd ever stayed! We will definitely return to this perfect little getaway spot.

We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was just like the photos and must be the best view of Staithes you could ask for. So peaceful to sit out on the front bench with a morning coffee, taking in the beautiful view of the quaint cottages and sea view, or a drink in the evening as the sunsets. 5mins walk for breakfast at Dotty’s tearoom (and a couple of other cafes) and evening drinks and food at either the Cod and Lobster and The Royal George Hotel. A really short walk away and you can be up on the cliff with spectacular views (both short circular walks and longer versions). I recommend buying some logs for the fire as the cottage is so cosy on an evening. We will be staying again.

Old Jack's Cottage is in a fantastic location, just over the footbridge from the main village centre with great views down the beck to the harbour. Whilst the accommodation is small, especially the kitchen this is described on the listing and we found it fine for us (two adults & a labrador). The open fire was great, making it lovely and snug in the evenings. The parking permit was waiting for us in the cottage, once unloaded we parked at the bottom of the road at the harboud next to the RNLI station where there is more space, just a 100 yards or so.

A truly wonderful place to stay. Perfect! The location is incredible and cottage magical. Thoroughly recommend lighting the fire for a cosy evening. Hosts are really responsive, check in easy and pre-arrival communications spot on to help you find the cottage. If you get the sunshine whilst you’re there, sit outside on the bench and drink in the most stunning views. I didn’t want to leave.

What a fantastic cottage, small and perfectly formed, and bursting with character.
The location was perfect, just a short hop over the footbridge to the village, and the bench in the front garden is the perfect spot to watch the world go by.
Excellent communication from Jackie from the start helped make it a perfect place to stay.
I have an inkling we'll be returning.

Bumped into Jackie walking her dog one morning and she was more than happy to pass on some local knowledge.

We had a wonderful time in Old Jacks Cottage in a cold November stay!
Taking advantage of the open fire at night was definitely a good choice and made the stay more atmospheric to the surroundings in this old coastal town.
Staithes is small and beautiful, lovely to walk around with very steep hill climbs or a bracing walk on the Cowbar where you can look out to the North Sea and see Dogger Bank. Or on the beach on the other side of the inlet and sit and watch the moon over the water from the benches then head into the Cod & Lobster for a warming bevvy or hearty Cod and Chips!
Betsy and Bo’s sell lovely food and treats to take back to devour by the fire in the evening before or after a walk listening to the water in the beck or the roar of the sea.
Old Jacks is delightfully higgledy piggledy in nature, lots of things are on a slope and sometimes different ones so you almost can feel like being in a boat bobbing in the beck at times.
We hope to return to lovely Staithes one day.

The cottage is absolutely tiny but very cosy and comfortable. Very warm & clean. Amazing location!
A few treats on arrival would put it up a level - even just some milk.
Otherwise all lovely and enjoyable.

What a wonderful little cottage, stunning views and easy access to the village of Staithes.
Perfect place for a relaxing time away. The cottage was clean and everything that you would need is at the he property.
Perhaps some milk in the fridge and tea and coffee would be nice if you are arriving after the shops in the village have closed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Tiny cottage, full of character. Great location with wonderful views of the harbour. Peaceful and serene the perfect spot to sketch or just sit and watch the tide come in and go out.

Cosy, tastefully decorated little cottage with a stunning view. Check in was really easy, although parking on the steep hill was a bit exciting, the instructions were clear. The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed for a cosy autumn weekend, walking the costal paths and exploring the delightful village of Staithes. Plus the mattress on the bed was one of the comfiest I have ever slept on!

We had a lovely stay at Fishermans Cottage just after Easter. The cottage is well maintained, small but perfect for 2. Kitchen and bathroom were clean and we had good water pressure/ plenty of hot water. Wifi was great too. Heaters in bedroom and the living room are great as it was a chilly few days.
Location! Oh my goodness. Fabulous! Steps from the village, steps from the sea, overlooking beck, on the path of Cleveland Way . Very steep / narrow but we parked outside using the permit.
Staithes is amazing, everything you could want for a holiday - great beach, harbour, glorious views, coffee shops , cafes and pubs ( we drank in King George and ate at Cod and Lobster ( book if you can)
Communication was great with owners and , once there, the lady who manages the property too.

Very cute cottage, full of character! My husband and I enjoyed waking up to gorgeous views and sounds. The place was clean and instructions were helpful. Food nearby is amazing, so that was a plus.
Parking is not as convenient as we thought since the cottages are on a slope and could definitely be a little challenging if there are multiple luggage pieces.

Absolutely amazing place, the location is perfect and the cottage was exactly what we wanted, cosy and homely! The coal fire definitely made it for us!

If you're looking for ultra modern this isn't the place but if it's a bit of character, stunning views and a homely place this is the one!
Everything was so easy and Mandy really helped with getting us coal and logs, it felt like nothing was too much trouble.
We absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back!
Thanks again for all your help.

Old Jack’s is the perfect place to rest, retreat and remind yourself of the simple, good things in life.

Having stayed at the Fisherman's cottages on previous occasions, we were familiar with what to expect. Always to a very high standard and excellent for that short break. We both absolutely love Staithes and find its tranquillity captivating.
The price hike seemed a little excessive hence the lower rating but we both needed a reset and paid the piper. Also, we were disappointed with the recent negative Yorkshire Life article about the village but that has no detraction on what Jackie and the team offer.
Another excellent stay and we look forwards to our next one in the future. We would always highly recommend Jackie's Fisherman's Cottages. Cheers

A wonderful place for us to rest and recharge our batteries with plenty of opportunities for walking or eating out ( although a well-equipped kitchen gave us a choice)
Would highly recommend.

Staithes has some very good eating places & also a regular bus service to Whitby
Thank you Jackie, we had a lovely relaxing week away, with numerous, quite hilly walks.

Old Jack's is absolutely adorable. We loved our stay! It is quiet. The sea is near as is the little town. On a rainy day, we were quite content to stay put by a cozy fire. We ventured down to the sea, across the footbridge to explore the town, and up on the cliffs for lovely long walks along Cleveland Way. We hope to return to this ideal vacation destination.

I recommend buying some logs for the fire as the cottage is so cosy on an evening. We will be staying again.

We stayed three nights and found it comfortable and convenient for visiting Staithes,.
We had thick sea fog on one day so driving out was interesting!
We cooked our main meals in the evenings. Shopping in the bottom end of Staithes is limited but we had brought food with us.
It is a quaint cottage and the stairs were a bit of a challenge for our old knees but we managed!
Lovely to watch the tides and the river flow, especially after torrential rain. Walked to the beach, around the two breakwaters and dropped a donation into the RNLI. A must do visit is to the Staithes Museum, full of local history especially Captain Cook who took his apprenticeship in Staithes, it is run by lovely local volunteers and just a 5 minute walk away…. Free entry but please make a donation to help with their bills.

A truly wonderful place to stay. Perfect! The location is incredible and cottage magical. Thoroughly recommend lighting the fire for a cosy evening. Hosts are really responsive, check in easy and pre-arrival communications spot on to help you find the cottage. If you get the sunshine whilst you’re there, sit outside on the bench and drink in the most stunning views. I didn’t want to leave.

We had a wonderful time in Old Jacks Cottage in a cold November stay!
Taking advantage of the open fire at night was definitely a good choice and made the stay more atmospheric to the surroundings in this old coastal town.
Staithes is small and beautiful, lovely to walk around with very steep hill climbs or a bracing walk on the Cowbar where you can look out to the North Sea and see Dogger Bank. Or on the beach on the other side of the inlet and sit and watch the moon over the water from the benches then head into the Cod & Lobster for a warming bevvy or hearty Cod and Chips!
Betsy and Bo’s sell lovely food and treats to take back to devour by the fire in the evening before or after a walk listening to the water in the beck or the roar of the sea.
Old Jacks is delightfully higgledy piggledy in nature, lots of things are on a slope and sometimes different ones so you almost can feel like being in a boat bobbing in the beck at times.
We hope to return to lovely Staithes one day.

exactly like the description and photo. lovely cosy, well equipped,clean and comfortable cottage. instructions re access and parking very helpful. Everything had been thought about from parking permit, wine glasses, hand-wash,baco foil and even hot water bottles. The heaters were super efficient and we really enjoyed the open fire. we pre booked meals at The George and the Cod and Lobster prior to our stay and they didn't disappoint. Highly recommend a stay at Fisherman's cottage. Becky the housekeeper is an absolute star!

Old Jack’s is the perfect place to rest, retreat and remind yourself of the simple, good things in life. This was a last minute booking for me and my border collie Monty and we both loved our time here….morning walks on the beach were a treat, as was coffee on the bench with the ever changing postcard views and the open fire in the evening.

This is the most charming fishing cottage, it is just gorgeous and you feel instantly at home. The views are stunning and it is perfectly located for the village. It is just a couple of minutes walk across the bridge to the village centre. We loved an open fire ever evening when we got home from the pub . The sofa is very comfortable, the cottage although small, is the perfect for two and a real get away, away from the stresses of city life. We parked outside the house which is ideal. The cottage gets the sun in the morning which is lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will return.

Very cute cottage, full of character! My husband and I enjoyed waking up to gorgeous views and sounds. The place was clean and instructions were helpful. Food nearby is amazing, so that was a plus.
Parking is not as convenient as we thought since the cottages are on a slope and could definitely be a little challenging if there are multiple luggage pieces.

This is a great place to stay...in the old town right by the harbour but a pedestrian bridge away, so that it's a bit quieter. The cottage itself is exactly as shown in the photos, spotlessly clean and comfortable. It's close to the beach and clifftop walks including the Cleveland Way. There's parking outside the cottage with guest permit provided (parking in the main part of the old town is non-existent).Jackie was a great host who was always ready to help. I would stay again.

Having stayed at the Fisherman's cottages on previous occasions, we were familiar with what to expect. Always to a very high standard and excellent for that short break. We both absolutely love Staithes and find its tranquillity captivating.
The price hike seemed a little excessive hence the lower rating but we both needed a reset and paid the piper. Also, we were disappointed with the recent negative Yorkshire Life article about the village but that has no detraction on what Jackie and the team offer.
Another excellent stay and we look forwards to our next one in the future. We would always highly recommend Jackie's Fisherman's Cottages. Cheers

No issues regarding communication with the host prior to stay. Found the house and parking without any concerns with parking permite hassle free.
Fantastic and easy to use heating system and information regarding the open fire made the stay very relaxing.
Wonderful views from bedroom and outside the front door with its own bench to appreciate the surrounding area.
The information book in the house as plenty of area of interest and walks, the local museum is well worth a visit and so are all the shops and the local pub is busy but this is to be expected when the food and hospitality is excellent.
Deco suits the ambiance of the house and is well worth another visit.
Fantastic stay and thank you very much.

Everything was so easy and Mandy really helped with getting us coal and logs, it felt like nothing was too much trouble.
We absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back!

Kitchen and bathroom were clean and we had good water pressure/ plenty of hot water. Wifi was great too. Heaters in bedroom and the living room are great as it was a chilly few days.
Location! Oh my goodness. Fabulous! Steps from the village, steps from the sea, overlooking beck, on the path of Cleveland Way . Very steep / narrow but we parked outside using the permit.
Staithes is amazing, everything you could want for a holiday - great beach, harbour, glorious views, coffee shops , cafes and pubs ( we drank in King George and ate at Cod and Lobster ( book if you can)
Communication was great with owners and , once there, the lady who manages the property too.

Old Jack's Cottage is in a fantastic location, just over the footbridge from the main village centre with great views down the beck to the harbour. Whilst the accommodation is small, especially the kitchen this is described on the listing and we found it fine for us (two adults & a labrador). The open fire was great, making it lovely and snug in the evenings. The parking permit was waiting for us in the cottage, once unloaded we parked at the bottom of the road at the harboud next to the RNLI station where there is more space, just a 100 yards or so.

Fisherman's Cottage is a tiny charming cottage on a sharply inclined street with outstanding views of an inlet and the harbor. The spotlessly clean cottage is extremely comfortable (although the upstairs double bed was a little soft for these two Americans), the kitchen fully equipped, the linens fresh, and there is plenty of hot water. It was very quiet. For us, one prime feature was its easy access to the Cleveland Way, an outstanding hiking trail that follows the breathtaking coast. The town itself is spectacular, and the cottage's location provided ideal access. Finally, the owners were extremely generous and responsive.

Jackie’s place is one of the favorite places I’ve ever stayed, and I’ve traveled a lot all over the world. I can’t say enough about the location, and the little town. It truly feels like you’re stepping back in time. I’m an artist and film maker, and have been working on a film and needed a space to be quiet and write, and this cottage could not have been more perfect. It is so, so quiet, I slept so well while I was there. Just so charming. Jackie and Max and her team were ever so helpful, not only while I was there, but for quite a while beforehand helping me to figure out trains and things how to get there from London. I loved it so much here that I hope to go back once a year for a retreat. It was chilly, and each night I lit a fire in the fireplace and curled up with books and my writing, and felt like I was in Heaven. Thanks so much Jackie for everything.

My partner and I adored our stay at Old Jack's. We were keen to visit the sea and loved the retained authenticity of the fisherman's cottage. We ended up caught in the middle of a storm, but had amazing atmospheric views of the sea just around the corner, and cafes, pubs and the independent convenience store just minutes away. The cottage remained cozy and warm despite the weather, and it was especially lovely to come home and relax by the fire. My partner commented that it was the cleanest and tidiest place she'd ever stayed! We will definitely return to this perfect little getaway spot.
