About the cottage

Northside cottage sits among a string of a dozen houses and a working lifeboat station on the waterfront in StaithesThe three storey cottage has lovingly restored and retains some of the age and patina of the place.  We resisted the urge to give it an IKEA makeover.  If that's what you're looking for, then there are plenty of lovely cottages that can do this for you.  Please take a look at the pictures to get an idea of what to expect.

The location and views are stunning, with sea and harbour views from each room of the house.  The front door opens onto the Beck and there is a stone seat under the window where you can sit and let time and the world pass by.  The cottage is south-facing and enjoys beautiful light for most of the day. Generations of artists have painted the views outside the cottage and around the village.

People visit the cottage to holiday, work, write or paint. Peace and quiet are guaranteed.  Equally, there is internet broadband to keep you 'connected'.  The choice is yours.

The cottage can comfortably accommodate a couple looking for a quiet weekend;  or a family with up to four children.  The dramatic scenery and weather and the fantastic walks make this a magical place to visit at any time of year.

Please note: the cottage is non-smoking, and we regret we cannot accommodate pets.

 We now have free Broadband & WiFi.

Living room & kitchen: On the ground floor is the kitchen and living room with exposed beams, a terracotta floor and a beautiful stone fireplace and open fire. There is a huge squashy sofa and a flatscreen TV with DVD and a selection of films.  The living room has a BT broadband, WiFi and telephone.

The kitchen is equipped with a ceramic hob and double oven, with a butler sink, micro-wave, washing machine, quality pans and utensils, and table settings for six. 

A dining table and four chairs are by the bay window and you can watch the sun go down over the village whist you enjoy your food and wine. 

Upstairs there are two further large double bedrooms and a bathroom. 

Bathroom: The bathroom has a roll-top Victorian bath and under floor heating and and hot water (no shower).

Attic bedroom: The master bedroom takes up the whole of the top floor.  The dormer window has a picture-postcard view over the Beck , harbour and village, and a side window has a view out to sea (see views below) Here you can watch the coming and going of local fishing boats, and the ebb and flow of the tide.  There are stripped oak floor boards, exposed roof beams and an antique walnut French double bed – with a double sprung and pocketed mattress.  Many of our visitors are couples and would use this bedroom.

Second bedroom/living room: The first floor bedroom is a great room for the children and serves as a second sitting room with TV/DVD.    There is a bunk bed in situ for two people, and the two stylish Danish sofas also double as sofa-beds to accommodate a further two people.  We think this combination works really well for families with two or more children; where both children and adults need their own space.

The cottage layout works really well for two adults and up to four children.  Equally, this is great cottage for a couple; with lots of space and amenities to relax.

Parking: Parking is at a premium in the village, but there is a parking permit that comes with the house.  Cars can be parked a few yards along at the end of the nab, on the quayside.  Extra parking is available in the paying car park for £4.00 per day or 300 yards up the hill (free car parking).
