About this property

Although nestled centrally right in the heart of the lower Staithes village the property is quiet and secluded at the same time.

Dotty’s Coastal Retreat is the perfect property for two couples or a family with an older child. A beautifully presented, maisonette packed with character, with a lovely light spacious living room, two double ensuite bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and sea views across the rooftops from the top floor skylights.

The open plan living and dining room is a homely comfortable space with a stone feature fireplace and two large leather sofas and dining table with four chairs. It’s a perfect space to cosy up watching the smart tele, read a good book or to socialise in on an evening and play games with your loved ones.

Head to the newly fitted kitchen and you’ll find a fresh space with white walls and beautiful tiles to give the room a bright and airy feel. Navy shaker style wooden cabinets and smooth white worktops which fit perfectly with the nature of the cottage. Fully equipped for all self-catering staycations, you’ll have access to a double oven, hob, microwave, toaster, kettle and dishwasher during your stay.

Also located on the ground floor is a newly fitted boot room with WC and sink.

Take the stairs up to the first floor and you’ll find two double ensuite bedrooms both with french beds. Bold in colour, both bedrooms have coloured walls and sloped ceilings to create really cosy spaces. You’ll enjoy your sleep at Dotty's Coastal Retreat as both double beds feature crisp linens and plush bedding.

Each bedroom has an ensuite with a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.
The property has never accepted dogs so is perfect for anyone with a pet allergy.

The area

Staithes is the quaint coastal village which was recently named one of Britain’s most beautiful seaside villages. It is a fascinating village with a lot of history, and many say it is like stepping back in time.

It has a beautiful harbour with beach set below the towering cliffs, winding streets, a maze of ginnels and alleyways, and mismatched colourful cottages bursting with charm.

The village is also known for its abundance of fossils which can be found along the small beach and in the cluster of rockpools. This area is nicknamed the ‘Dinosaur Coast’ as it’s packed with history.

Staithes is a magnet for art and artists alike. Throughout the village you’ll find the amazing Painted Illusions Trail created by the famous artist Paul Czainski. It was also the home to the impressionist art society, known as Staithes Group, and their work can always be seen dotted around. Visit the two village art galleries and the free Captain Cook Museum.

Dotty's Coastal Retreat is within walking distance of all that Staithes has to offer and within 30 minutes’ drive time of Saltburn and Whitby.

Staithes has great bus links to surrounding areas including Whitby, Sandsend, Saltburn, Middlesbrough, and Scarborough. The X4 bus runs from Middlesbrough to Whitby passing Staithes Lane End making it very accessible to other desired bays.

The closest train stations are located in Whitby where there is direct access to Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle, and Saltburn where you’ll find direct routes to York, Leeds and Manchester.

The closest airport is Teesside International Airport, 35 miles from Staithes.

“Had a lovely stay at Dotty’s. The accommodation was so quaint, spotlessly clean and cosy, we couldn’t ask for more. Being right in the middle of Staithes was a highlight. A cosy, friendly pub opposite and the sea just a few steps away and visits to Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick Bay and Whitby all just short drives. Everything was perfect. Many thanks.”
