About the home

Roma cottage is the ideal location, right in the heart of Staithes, but away from the road so perfect for small children. All three bedrooms have a spacious airy feel and are individually styled with the attic master bedroom having ensuite facilities. This charming cottage is ideal for a romantic break for two - just through some coal on the fire and open the wine! Its spacious layout is just as suited though to a great family holiday. Pictures speak a thousand words, so please look at ours; you will see quality bedlinen, thoughtful touches, loads of kitchen enquipment and 2 bathrooms, all presented to a high standard throughout. Staithes is a quaint working fishing village that has been designated as a conservation village, due to its unique character and is within the National Park. Its cobbled streets and narrow alleyways reflect its rugged past. With its own small sandy beach, welcoming pubs and cliff top walks, no wonder its refered to as "a bit of cornwall in Yorkshire". It is the perfect base for walking, touring and exploring the coast and North Yorkshire Moors. Whitby is only 9 miles, Scarborough is 35 minutes by car and Heartbeat Country is all around. The Cleveland Way passes through this unique conservation village and stunning cliff top walks are straight out of the front door.

Further details

- The owner is happy to accept dogs if advised prior (a charge of £10 applies). . But ask that they are not allowed on the furniture or in the cottage if wet.

The Northern England / Yorkshire/Yorkshire Dales region

The North York Moors National Park is one of the most stunning landscapes in the country, it will simply make you stand and stare. You can wander through woods, saunter through picturesque villages of honey sandstone, throw pebbles in a stream or build sandcastles on the beach. All around are the signs of past generations, historic abbeys, embattled castles, churches, crosses, ancient routes. Jurassic geology is perhaps second to none and particulaly good around Staithes. Here the Father of English Geology made his discoveries and at the coast you can see dinosaur footprints and search for fossils as he may have done. Explore the Yorkshire Heritage Coast, from sandy beaches to working harbours and brightly coloured fishing boats. From imposing abbeys to quaint coastal villages, and from bustling seafood markets to the UK’s most delicious fish and chips, this is the stunning Yorkshire Coast. With charming seaside resorts including Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington waiting to be explored.Yorkshire’s award-winning beaches with blue flag status are all along the coast and Staithes is a great lbase for exploring them all. The award winning town of Whitby is just 10 minutes by car - sample the kippers from the smokehouse at the base of the 199 steps, then climb up to the Abbey for fantastic views across the Esk Valley. Wander into the many Whitby Jet workshops then have fish & chips on the pier, or treat yourself to a meal at the famous Magpie fish restaurant.
Other attractions include; Scarborough's water park and Sea world, York, Flamingo Land and Heartbeat's Goatland, to name but a few. Bike hire, horse riding, golf and swimming are near bye. Locally surfing is on the increase and we are told the waves out of Staithes and nearbye Saltburn enthusiasts attracting more enthuisiasts all the time.

The Staithes area

Staithes’ towering cliffs, quaint, higgledy-piggledy cottages and winding streets lend it the air of a place lost in time. With its sweeping, sheltered bay and collection of charming red roofed cottages and tiny pedestrian lanes. This village's unique charm, with its huddled cottages, and choppy sea, has long been a powerful draw for those interested in fine art, geology and getting back to nature.
Staithes was once an important fishing base, home to locally built boats and a small fleet of brightly coloured Whitby Cobles. Now, the boats are used by local fishermen to catch cod, lobsters and crabs and some vessels offer short pleasure cruises. The beach and cluster of rock pools make this a wonderful place to explore, and there are so many fossils that this area that it has been nicknamed the ‘Dinosaur Coast' - so keep your eyes open! The Royal George and Captain Cook Inn are both perfect for popping in for a drink after a walk along the coast and the Cod & Lobster offers the ideal place to enjoy a real ale while watching the waves. Whatever you choose you will be guaranteed a cosy atmosphere, real ales, real coal fires and a warm and friendly welcome. Both pubs in the village welcome well behaved dogs and children!
Take a walk accross the cliff tops to Port Mulgrave (approx 1.2 miles or Runswick Bay (approx 3.5 miles) and one of the Yorkshire Coast’s prettiest destinations with a good quality local pub and cafe. If you dont want to walk back, just catch the bus from the main road.
Fishing trips out to sea can be arranged in the village or you can fish from the pier. Surfing is becomming increasingly popular and a surf school is located in Saltburn, just a 15 minute drive away.

“Bit of a break” Stayed for 4 nights for a winter break in this cottage. Very well equipped for the 6 of us. Good furnishings not like some holiday homes which are furnished from second hand shops! Good location in... more

“A real home from home” Roma Cottage is a cosy and comfortable place to say, scrupulously clean and tastefully decorated. There are 3 bedrooms each sleeping 2 people and with 2 bathrooms (1 ensuite) there was plenty of room for everyone. We loved the open fire which was ready for lighting when we returned from a stunning walk along the cliff top. The kitchen is really well equiped for those who like to cook for themselves but we enjoyed a tasty bar snack at the Cod and Lobster and an excellant steak at the Bistro, both within 5 minutes walk of the front door. Staithes is a delightful unspoilt coastal village with a small beach and a wonderful unhurried atmosphere and Roma Cottage the perfect spot from which to enjoy it. We will definitely return!
