Summary:
Captain Cook’s Cottage is located in the heart of Staithes. It has narrow winding streets leading to various points of natural beauty. The cottage is fully equipped and sleeps 7 (2 doubles and 1 triple). No pets and no smoking. Self catering. There is walking access to activities and amenities; recommendations available upon request.
Guests can park temporarily to unload but will need to park elsewhere. Glen Vale parking is recommended which can be booked online. WiFi is free.
The Space:
The cottage is very spacious and located down in the harbour overlooking the sea, beach and surrounding breath-taking scenery. There is a small indoor porch on the ground floor flowing through into a large living / dining area following into the fully equipped kitchen. There is also a basement safely accessible from the kitchen where cleaning facilities and beach equipment is stored for use by guests.
The first floor consists of two homely double bedrooms and a modern main bathroom. From the landing, a second staircase leads up to the 2nd floor.
On the 2nd floor landing is a comfortable sitting area with a 2nd bathroom off this area to service the 3rd bedroom consisting of 3 single beds.
The cottage is owned and operated by a local family who's care and love of the property is evident to see throughout.
The cottage has a comprehensive central heating system controlled by thermostat in the living room and all rooms are perfectly insulated and decorated in a traditional style to reflect the cottage's history.
For Confirmation - the property has three bedrooms (2 x double, 1 with 3 singles).
Guest Access:
There is no parking specifically allocated to the cottage due to parking being so limited and therefore just for permanent residents. Guests can park temporarily to unload but will need to park elsewhere during the stay. We recommend Glen Vale parking which can be booked online (by visiting their website) for a reasonable cost.
Access to the front is via Church Street with a couple of steps leading up to the front door.
Access to the rear is via a service alleyway and up several steps to the rear door off the kitchen.
The Neighborhood:
Staithes is a traditional fishing village famed by Captain James Cook having spent some time there working in 1745 before his career as an explorer.
The village still has many local people living there with also numerous holidaymakers visiting from all corners of the UK all year round. It still has a small community of fishermen operating from the harbour in small fishing boats. It has narrow winding streets leading to various points of natural beauty viewing.
Crime rates are basically non-existent and you will find that many local people and holidaymakers simply leave their front doors open although this is not advised.
Getting Around:
There is little parking down in the harbour. Accessibility is all via foot other than unloading / luggage drop-off.
There are bust routes through Staithes to take you north towards Saltburn and south towards Whitby and Scarborough. Taxis are also accessible in Staithes.
