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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
The bed was so comfortable and we had everything we needed for cooking!
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.

Authentic, well-preserved and wonderful fisherman’s cottage in a beautiful nook of the country. There can’t be a better place to stay in Staithes - the best views right on the doorstep. Jackie made everything easy with her clear instructions and friendly manner, couldn’t recommend booking more if looking to stay in Staithes.

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.

We have just had 2 nights in the Fisherman’s cottage for my birthday in Staithes and we didn’t want to leave!
It is the most gorgeous little house with so much history. And the location is perfect.
We ate at the cod and lobster one night and also had a drive along to Sandsend to go to the fish cottage which was gorgeous.
Thank you for the best stay

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 🩵

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.
