Property code: OC-WA037

A gorgeous, three-storey cottage, with a roof terrace taking in sweeping coastal vistas, this exceptional retreat in Staithes offers accommodation with more than a touch of luxury. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom cottage dates back to the early 19th century, when it was built into the cliff on the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast as a fisherman’s home. In recent years, it has been carefully renovated to retain its essential character while also offering plenty of style and comfort. Spend time on the beach, 350 metres away, or head into bustling Whitby, 10.5 miles away, or Saltburn-by-Sea, 9 miles away. Enjoy coastal walks from the doorstep, pick up the scenic Cleveland Way and venture into the North York Moors National Park.

This is a stunningly chic property to call home for a few days. Climb the 12 steps up to the cottage then let yourselves into the beautiful kitchen/diner, with its bespoke kitchen and underfloor heating. Prepare delicious holiday meals in here, cooking in the pizza oven perhaps, while listening to music through the Sonos speakers. From here, take two steps up to find a separate WC and the boot room, where there is ample space for storing your coats and shoes. Follow the stairs up to the first floor and cross the elegant landing to enter your two beautifully decorated double bedrooms, one with a Smart TV and the other with a glass-sealed light shaft, which brings natural light into the room. This has remote-controlled intelligent glass for night-time. Also on this floor, is the family bathroom, with its freestanding bath. Venture up another level to luxuriate in the comfort of the spacious lounge, where you can light the wood burner and watch the Smart TV or listen to music via the cutting-edge systems and speakers as the fire crackles. On warm days, slide open the doors on to the roof terrace instead.

Outside, you can bask in the sunshine and enjoy the sea views from the spectacular roof terrace with its glass balustrade. Shower your canine companion here after trips to the beach. Dine outside or have a glass of fizz as the sun goes down in the evening. Please note that the garden is Not fully enclosed.

Beautiful cottage, great location with sea view from top floor. Well equipped. Could have been cleaner though.

Stayed at Hillsover for a week in July, with my hubby and our cockapoo. The village is lovely and we will definitely be back, however, I dont think I would stay at Hillsover again. The cottage was comfortable and styled nicely and a lovely welcome pack was provided. The main reason we booked this cottage was the fairly private outside space which Read morelooked really pretty. In the advert this is shown as a decked area, however, artificial grass has now been laid and it was covered in dirt, debris, twigs, spikes from bird deterrent and didnt look like it had been swept in a long time and the patio furniture wasnt usable as it was covered in bird poo. The advert stated there was a hose in this area, however, it was broken and as such we couldnt even attempt to clean it ourselves. The weather during our stay was amazing and it was so disappointing that we couldnt utilise this area of an evening. Hide

We had an amazing family holiday in Staithes. The North East coast makes a wonderful change from Devon and Cornwall. There are some wonderful unspoilt hidden gems. If you dont want to explore you can get everything you need in this village. We lived in the pizza and sweet shop! The cottage is beautifully restored and full of appliances that make yoRead moreur life easy! We left a bag behind and the owner and housekeeper really went out of their way to get it back to us, which I was so grateful for. Thank you so much, really worth the visit. Hide
