    “Beautiful property and surrounding area with beautiful views.”

    Was tricky to find. I would suggest a sign post for the Main Barn property, due to other Holiday cottages with simular names, which our sat nav kept directing us to. Our Barn was down a very small rural path, tractor width, so we wasn't sure it was a road we could go down and with it also not being sign posted was confusing. So it took us a good 30-40 mins finding the property from being parked outside the Equestrian Centre at Borrowby. We ask locals who also didn't know how to direct us ...

Only down side we could say about the Main Barn. Was the main oven wasn't working. So we had to change the oven fuse ourselfs as we couldn't get hold of the care taker or property owner. Would suggest at 24 hour number help due to no local places to eat with having to get in the car and drive out. We was really hungry so was a little disappointing. Other than that we had a fabulous stay and we found the property stunning.

    Hi Sarah Thank you very much for your comments and sorry for the inconvenience with the oven. We are looking into a new sign after the last one was damaged so we will hopefully have that soon. Many thanks Esther Property Owner

About the location

STAITHES

Whitby 10 miles.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.
