About this property

Charming, spacious cottage with stunning views of Staithes and the harbour

Fully renovated in 2018, Burton Cottage is a traditional fisherman’s cottage sitting in a unique location in Staithes and boasts magnificent views of the old village and harbour from the panoramic living room window. Within the cottage there is a fully modernised separate skylit kitchen, extremely spacious living and dining room complete with multi-fuel stove, 6ft farmhouse dining table, television and DVD player and a classical and retro vinyl collection for you to enjoy. The master bedroom is adorned with a luxurious king size bed and there are twin beds in the second bedroom. Renovated to a high standard whilst at the same time embellishing the character and style, Burton Cottage possesses all the curves and charm one would expect to find in a period property. The cottage is suitable for couples and families, we provide stair gates, children’s toys and books and a high chair and cot on request. This is a pet friendly cottage, with free unlimited WiFi and a car parking permit is provided. Please note that you can not directly park outside the property. You can park nearer for unloading purposes and then the car park is a 5 min walk away.

As a holiday destination Staithes has much to offer, whether it be a rich and thriving artistic scene, a fascinating industrial past, a stunning coast line full of fossils and cliff top walks, fantastic fresh seafood and a number of fine hostelries both on the sea front and inland.

Suffused with the magic of Staithes, Burton Cottage provides the perfect base to discover the secrets of the old village and the North York Moors or simply sit by the log burner watching the ebb and flow of the tide whilst luxuriating in the opportunity to get away from it all.

Perfect Cottage.
I totally recommend Burton Cottage. Sinead, the owner is very helpful and clear with instructions. The location is amazing with a wonderful view of the bay from the lounge window. Very well appointed, with everything you could possibly require for your stay. Very kindly, our hosts also left a welcome pack.

Great cottage, great location
Burton cottage is ideally placed, 2 minutes into the village and 2 minutes up to the Cleveland Way. And fantastic views out to sea. It had everything you’d need in terms of facilities; the (Emma) bed was very comfortable; and there’s plenty of space in the living area. Not an issue for us 60 year olds, but the stairs are quite steep so one to be aware of.

Wonderful!
Our four night stay at Burton Cottage fulfilled all our needs for an escape from our 'real world'. Everything was clean, comfortable and our creature comforts catered for. We were blessed with sunshine, but on the one cool day we succumbed and lit the log burner, it was super. As everyone mentions the views from the cottage are spectacular, so don't forget to bring your binoculars. The provision of the parking permit is a bonus, and encouraged us to leave our car there and venture out on foot along the Cleveland Way, and to use the local bus service. 3 single to Whitby, a bargain!localservicespeviewsspectacular

Photos do not reflect how amazing the property is
Special property Great position in the village great views. Easy to book. Record player and fire a great combo. Stayed in December and it was Decorated for Christmas which was lovely. 10/10 for everything The only thing needed is an analogue map of the village so know where proud is. No mobile phone reception in the village and until you check in you don’t have access to wifi

Very beautiful cottage with amazing views over Staithes
Just back from a lovely weekend away in Staithes. Burton Cottage was much bigger than the pictures showed, and we were immediately taken by the views over the bay. The cottage had everything you needed, and was very clean. Would advise you read the small print of the permit, we didnt and ended up with a parking fine! I would

Why they chose this property

The moment you walk through the front door of Burton Cottage and see the view from the large living room window you will realise why this is such a wonderful place to stay within Staithes. I have been coming to Staithes for the past 30 years. My father made the brilliant decision to purchase Burton Cottage in the early 1980s and recently my wife and I have worked hard and succeeded in fully renovating the cottage to a standard that befits it’s unique location.

What makes this property unique

The panoramic view from the living room is arguably the best in Staithes. Very recently modernised. Period charm and character maintained. Warm and conformtable. Child friendly.
