Guest access
As soon as you walk into Ash Cottage you see the sea. Make a coffee, Nespresso pod machine or cafetiere, open the back door and hang on the harbour rail out back to take in fantastic views of the harbour, life boat station and the sea.
There's a wood burning stove to make the best of chilly nights. Bring seasoned logs and kindling if it's that time of year. There's a washing machine tucked under the stairs.
Take your tea in bed up in the master bedroom and look out to sea as you sip.
Upstairs the local master joiner has created folding doors to create a private, cosy, single bedroom. Or leave the doors pushed back if you prefer to relax on the day bed. Beyond this space is the twin bedded room with floor level (sealed) windows, giving you a view right down onto the high tide.

Staithes' peaceful atmosphere is also due to the fact it does not have through traffic. We do have our own free parking space at the top of the village. You can unload outside the cottage but then leave your car and your stresses at the top of the village. The cliff path back down takes you to our front door. The famous Cleveland Way, popular with hikers, also goes past the cottage and takes you to breathtaking cliff top views, pubs, tearooms and beaches close by and all along the coast.
Suitable for all ages. There are licensed fishing and wildlife boats trips in the village from a professional fisherman. Foraging walks along the beach, fossil hunting. Also art classes at the gorgeous Staithes Gallery with Al and Dave with a new gallery and studio in the Old Sunday School. A further gallery, Staithes Studios, is run by artists, Stef and Ian Mitchell. Graphic and fine art, ceramics, jewellery, friendly workshops and breath taking views from their top floor.
You can see two pubs when you step out of the front door; The George up the High St and the Cod and Lobster heading towards the beach. It has a good, hearty pub food menu. Free seating outside and bookable tables indoors, Great views. The beach is about 1 minute from the house. The new painted Illusion Trail is close by with leaflets and information at the cottage. It was inspired by the view from my kitchen window. Just look to your left out of the back door and you will know why (almost) immediately.
There 's public sculpture - a giant wire lobster sited at the top of the village. It's something I helped to bring to life with Whitby-based Prince's Trust artist Emma Stothard.
Fishermen landing fish and sea food including lobster are happy to sell on the spot or you can find fantastic fresh sea food for sale at the outlet in the car park.
Great tea rooms, a vintage shop with tea room - Dotty's (say Hi to Trudie), the Staithes Museum with artisan units, and Old Jack's Boat (Beebies TV series) locations to visit. Try the Fox and Hounds at Port Mulgrave for a meal (if you are pushing the boat out); Sue and Jason are your wonderful hosts. Or grab a crab salad, grouse, pheasant (in season), mussels, oysters, large fish and chips at the Cod and Lobster - luckily it's only a few steps back to Ash Cottage.
There are some delicious new additions in the village - Betty and Bo's chocolate shop and high class grocer with colourful pasta, olives, pasta sauces, chorizo, octopus and chunky logs with bags on loan to carry them home.
Try pizzas at the new Cobbles Cafe across the street.
Sandsend has good places to eat; Fish Cottage, Mary's for homemade smash burgers, Sandside for crab sandwiches, Tides for pizzas with a sea view or takeaway onto the beach.
Saltburn for the pier, for Seaview restaurant's excellent fish and sea food. Real Meals deli up in the town, Lilian Daph's cool interiors shop and coffee near the station. Try the water -powered funicular to bring you back down to the boardwalk and the sea. Surf school here with long, gentle, rolling breakers.
Other things to note
The village has a steep hill which may make access an issue for people with mobility difficulties. There are two short flights of stairs in the cottage with no stair gate on the first floor. There is a door to the stairs on the ground floor so they can be closed off. There is also a door to the top floor, so again access can be limited if children can't reach the latch (it doesn't lock).
There's a heated towel rail in the bathroom which you may want to leave switched off in case of young children.
The window in the main bedroom has a linen chest beneath it so pull it away from the window and keep the window closed, if there are small children around.
