Staithes Holidays - Reviews

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.

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.

Thank you.

Our first air BnB, really impressed, great location, steep hill gives great view. Cute, quaint cottage, quirky street appears on many of the village postcards. Clean & comfy sofa and bed, everything we needed and good shower, perfect bolt hole for 1 or 2. Open fire lit every night - didn’t want to leave.

Great little place, superb location

Got to say there are only a few places I have been that have made me sad when I leave and this is one of them. The place and everything to do with it is stunning I love it. Jackie is amazing everything was spot on we already booking again and hopefully again after that. If you have never been you will get it once you have been it’s beautiful and thank you Jackie for great memories for me my wife Emma and our puppy Leia
Cannot wait to get back and hopefully see you soon John & Emma &Leia

Great venue and perfect place and host.
the George Hotel is a great place to eat and very friendly. The Cod and Lobster on the other hand was really nice food but very poor service.
thanks Jackie

We had the most fabulous stay at the cottage. super comfortable bed ,So quirky and the original features . Super photos, We enjoyed reading up about the whole history. Jackie was super helpful and recommended places to go. It’s a beautiful place to visit and we would love to return in the winter, Lots of seagulls which added to the experience and fantastic views to wake up to

Beautiful cottage with the perfect view.
comfortable and clean.
ideal location for walking
Great pubs and cafes to meet all needs.
would go again.

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.

Absolutely lovely little place and so peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed sitting in the sun on the bench outside, first thing in the morning, with my dog, looking out to the harbour. Simply lovely. The house had everything we needed. Hope to return some day.

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

Everything was great. I would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful location, book last minute and Jackie was really responsive on any questions.
Everyone was really friendly when your walking around- the local bars and pubs have amazing food .
Open fire in the cottage makes it after a loverly day to settle in the evening and watch the sea views from the window.
Will book again!

I booked this stay as a Christmas present for my parents and they had a lovely time at the cottage. Jackie made the booking really easy and gave me all the information they’d need. The cottage is lovely with beautiful views and really close to everything you’d need in the village. They’ll be booking again soon!

Lovely, captures days of years gone by…. But with all the amenities of a modern functional bathroom and kitchen ,without spoiling the old fashioned element of the cottage . Nice to make and sit infront of a real fire , which adds to the cosy atmosphere….. we like sitting on the bench outside to have a cuppa and breakfast listening to the seagulls and drinking in the wonderful veiws

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.

Quaint cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. All basics supplied. Amenities close by. Outstanding coastal walks on the doorstep.

This is a great little cottage in a great location. We enjoyed cliff top walks on the Cleveland Way and also the friendly welcome and good food at the Cod and Lobster pub across the bridge.

Lovely authentic cottage in beautiful surroundings overlooking the river and harbour. Good restaurants and shops within walking distance. Jackie was a great host and on hand if we needed anything.

the cottage was everything and more than I was expecting. really cosy, fantastic views and felt like home. would love to stay there again

A perfect stay for a short break in beautiful surroundings.

An absolutely beautiful cottage in a stunning location. It's the perfect place for a little break or longer get-away. The cottage is small, very cute and authentic, we loved it! The hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the booking process, our stay and after. We 100% reccoment this location and this cottage! and would definitetly rebook, thank you!

Fisherman’s Cottages are located in an unique and idyllic area with fantastic views of Staithes harbour.

Another great stay in this beautiful cottage. Such a perfect location. No passing traffic to be disturbed by and really enjoyed completing another section of the Cleveland Way from Staithes to Saltburn on Sea along the headland.

Wonderful and cosy cottage, with a great vista. Enjoyed our stay.

A special place with a sense of history and great views
. Friendly communications ensured that we knew support would be there if required.
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.

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.

Lovely place to stay with friendly neighbors and locals.
Easy walk into main part of Staithes and to pubs, coffee bars etc. The local Co-Op on the edge of Staithes has all the supplies you need and easy to get to.
Jackie was really responsive in all comms and it was a pleasure to stay at her place.

Fantastic stay at Jackie's place. The Fisherman's Cottage was in a picture postcard coastal landscape. Everything we needed was in the cottage. Plenty of walks nearby. Close to local shops, pubs and galleries, yet in a peaceful location.

Old jacks cottage was idealistic it had everything we needed .The location was perfect. I loved opening up the beautiful window looking out on boats and Quaint old cottages .The shops are just across a small bridge with places to eat pubs ,old sweet shops it was a very special place

.

Real great few days away, really enjoable, relaxing, just what was needed. Would defo return .
Thanks
Ian and Cathy

Absolutely fantastic stay . Everything was perfect. The quaint cottage was perfect to explore the beautiful coastline. We will definitely be back!

thank you Jackie (and Becky in staithes) for a beautifully presented authentic fisherman's cottage. perfect. and our anniversary card, gifts and treats for Peggy dog were a wonderful touch.
we are telling all our friends.
thank you.

We had a wonderful stay and we are definitely booking again. Authentic, cosy, and comfortable in a unique, beautiful setting.

We love the traditional nostalgic feel of the cottage with excellent access in and out of the village. We are planning to return. Fabulous host and very helpful.

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.

Fisherman's Cottage no.4 was in a fabulous location in the pretty fishing village of Staithes. The cottage was exactly what we expected for a one double bed fisherman's cottage, very quaint but had all the amenities & was very clean, great views of the river to the sea, from the windows.
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.
Excellent & highly recommend

Jackie’s place is absolutely delightful. We felt at home the minute we walked through the door. The view from each of the windows is breathtaking. The cottage was beautifully clean and well equipped. The ambience was really unique - it felt las if we had time travelled to another era, but had kept all mod cons to make our stay comfortable. We are already planning our return trip as we have fallen in love with Staithes and Jackie’s place too!

Jackie is the most responsive host ever! Very clear and accurate instructions.
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.

Lovely cosy little cottage in a great location, with a lovely view.

Loved our stay in Old Jack’s Cottage. It was cosy, quirky, and full of character. Our dog loved lying in front of the open fire in the evenings. Great base to explore Staithes and the surrounding countryside. Beautiful to watch the sunrise in the morning and the ever changing tides. Thank you to Jackie who was very responsive for any queries we had.

Gerat place to stay. Jackie, the host, was very helpful and responsive. Thanks too to Becky for the wood and happy birthday card!

Jackie was very welcoming, helpful and had lots of invaluable local knowledge. The cottage was super clean, very cosy and in a great location. I will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic cottage. All communication was excellent, from Jackie to the housekeeper. Will want to stay again.

Beautiful location, really enjoyed our stay in Staithes. Traditional, small but comfortable cottage, very quiet with an amazing view.

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.

We loved staying here. Beautiful location, lovely cottage and great hosts.

An amazing cottage to stay in. fantastic views from the bedroom of the harbour and Beckside. Everything was as stated, the fire was a cosy extra. loved our stay so much, we hope very much to return another time.

Perfect location, always immaculate, lovely hosts. Really pleased to see continued investment in the place, with recent upgrades to kitchen and bathroom. So much care goes into these cottages and making sure guests enjoy their stay. Outstanding!

We had a wonderful time at Old Jack's Cottage, so peaceful and cosy. It was perfect for the two of us and our small spaniel - we loved sitting outside watching the world go by. I haven't slept so well in months and didn't want to leave. Jackie is a fantastic host and really made us feel welcome.

Beautiful quaint cottage with unbelievable views. Only a few minutes walk from the centre of Staithes. Great communication from the host. Lovely comfortable bed. Would definitely stay again.

Had a lovely stay for a couple of nights- cottage was in lovely position and had everything we needed- would thoroughly recommend

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It is so cosy (with a very comfortable bed!) - a great, relaxing escape. The views are beautiful and we can’t wait to come back one day!

Gorgeous cottage - we’ve stayed in many places in staithes and this was one of our favourites. Lovely views and a cosy set up inside. We bought our baby and there’s a good amount of room for a travel cot. Really convenient that you can park outside as well.

A magical place indeed..
Really great access to walking, restaurants and coffee.. Check our Dotti's tea room !!

Gorgeous location, literally seconds from the centre of Staithes. Thanks again for a lovely week. Highly recommend!

A stunning location which was perfect for our mini break following a hectic Bank Holiday weekend. The cottage has everything you need and we loved how cleverly everything was stored.

A very unique and special little cottage in a stunning location with a beautiful aspect. The accommodation was very clean and extremely well equipped. I would recommend.

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.

Excellent stay, thank you so much!

Mint

Wonderfully cosy little house in a gorgeous setting!

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.
..

This cottage has an amazing location in Staithes with fantastic views. Inside the cottage is snug and cosy - especially with the fire lit - and well equipped. Communication by the hosts and Rebecca, the housekeeper was excellent. We enjoyed walks to Whitby and Saltburn along the Cleveland Way, making use of the regular bus service to the top of Staithes. It was perfect for our anniversary break. Thank you!

A fantastic place to stay in the heart of Staithes !

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.

Thank you for sharing your very warm, cosy and homely cottage in the picturesque village of Staithes. Loved waking up to the sound of the seagulls and looking down to the sea.

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. The cottage was well equipped and an open fire was a bonus. We certainly enjoyed curling up by the fire with a book and a glass of wine. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.

Lovely accommodation in a great location. Great base to explore local coastline and surrounds. Cottage has everything needed. A 2 minute walk to amenities, beach and local pubs.

Lovely, quaint cottage in a beautiful location. Everything needed for a comfortable stay. Jackie was very clear and responsive with her instructions

This was an incredible stay! Jackie was super quick in giving us all the information that we needed and was very friendly. The cottage was beautiful and it felt like home! We were sad to leave! Forever in our memories.

Jackie and her husband were very friendly, we chatted a few times in person during our short stay. I’d highly recommend jacks cottage, it’s in such a lovely spot.

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.

A scenic and most delightful place to stay in.

Brilliant location and a great place to stay, will be back again

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.

Staithes is a beautiful village and Jackie is a great host. We’d highly recommend the cottage and the village and we’ll definitely book again!

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!

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. The parking spot felt like a real luxury and we slept like logs. Jackie is a great host, everything was straightforward and we loved the old time charm of both the cottage and Staithes. Highly recommend.

Fantastic little cottage min md blowing location - Jackie is lovely -

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
Alison and John

Really Really enjoyed our stay. Didn't want to leave, so peaceful,so relaxing. Just wonderful.

Lovely cottage which suited our needs. We stayed for three nights but unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind to us - or to anyone! However this didn’t affect us having an enjoyable stay in the cottage.

Very cosy cottage great views we loved sitting on the bench at the front of the cottage with a glass of wine taking in the sea views and Jackie was a great host answering all our questions promptly

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.

alles war gut

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.

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!

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.

A lovely quirky warm cosy cottage. The perfect place to unwind and relax to recharge your batteries after a hectic week. A 2 minute walk to the local shops and pubs. We will definitely book again in the future.

Jackie is an excellent host with great communication. The house and location is beautiful. I had a really great trip. And look forward to returning.

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.

Great little cottage.
Good location, near shops, pubs and walks with beautiful scenery.
Jackie was a thoughtful and communicative host.

Extremely authentic accommodation which captures the feel of the setting. Beautiful views with prime location.

Excellent cottage for a getaway with the dog.
The cottage was exactly as described and in a lovely location with amazing views. It was a nice cosy place to curl up after a long day of walking.
Bumped into Jackie walking her dog one morning and she was more than happy to pass on some local knowledge.
Highly reccomend

Beautiful weekend spent in this picturesque cottage! The view from the cottage was spectacular my little boy was so excited to see the boats when he looked out of the window upstairs!

Fabulous little cottage. Steeped in history with the best views. Jackie is a wonderful host. We had a brilliant holiday

lovely comfortable cottage.
Fantastic location.
Close to great pubs and cafes.
Everything we needed for a fantastic holiday.

Lovely spot, great communication and great house

This is a fabulous, cosy cottage in an absolutely stunning location. Jackie is a fantastic host who gives extremely useful information about the local area and makes guests feel very welcome. Will definitely stay here again.

Had a lovely stay at Fisherman’s cottage. Had everything we needed and was the perfect location for a half term get away!

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.

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.

Highly recommend.

Old Jacks is brilliantly situated on Cowbar. The views from the bench at the front are amazing. A very peaceful setting. The cottage is very quaint and has everything you need for a few days away. Just a short walk across the footbridge and you are right in the village of Staithes where there a two pubs, a lovely vintage tea rooms and several shops and galleries. From here other places such as Whitby and Saltburn are easily accessable. We will definitely be coming to Staithes again and hopefully this cottage
