Situated at Staithes, near Whitby, these former World War I army bunkers are in an idyllic position close to the countryside and sea. Four of the barracks have been ingeniously and tastefully transformed to provide good quality accommodation retaining much rustic character and charm. The remaining four lodges retain their near original condition as a visual reminder of their former function. Each refurbished lodge has the added advantage of free parking, an outdoor sitting area and bike parking racks.
Situated just off the Cleveland Way, there are many fine moorland and cliff top walks. There is a golf course and driving range in Brotton, 6¾ miles away, and at Scaling Reservoir, 7¼ miles, there is sailing and fishing. There is a leisure centre 2 miles down the road and a 2-minute stroll down the cobbled street brings you to the centre of the picturesque fishing village with its small harbour nestling beneath rugged cliffs. Step back in time and walk the quaint narrow passages, as Captain James Cook himself must have done. Here in Staithes there are village shops, pubs, cafés and a restaurant, and in 2020 the village was featured on the BBC programme ’Gone Christmas Fishing’ with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. Why not travel on Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Express (the North Yorkshire Moors Railway) through ’Heartbeat’ country, or visit Whitby and its famous abbey which is 11 miles away.
Open planned kitchen/diner recently refurbished 2022.
Please note: As the four lodges are in close proximity to one another, they could be booked for groups of up to 24 guests. Additional en-suite rooms available on site, on request with owner.. In Staithes, near Whitby there is the Life Boat weekend in August and the Arts and Heritage Festival in September.

Great couple of days. The accomodation was perfect for our extended family. Everything was spot on except the lighting. Too dim!

We had a brilliant time at Captains Quarters which was much needed at this time. More than enough room for 6 of us with lots of lovely sofas to choose from. Sitting in the conservatory with coffee was a treat. Cosy and warm. Loads of cutlery and crockery. Lovely out-door space although our October weather was a bit windy. Ideal for dogs. Sarah was a delight to deal with, very friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.

We had a great visit.
We had a great visit. A pity it was a short break as we all could have been doing with a longer break. The Co-op was well stocked. We didn’t manage to explore the village but wish we had as one of our party thought the area was stunning. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere and very rustic, cosy and welcoming. I can’t thank Sarah enough for ensuring all was good for us and she was only a call away, which we didn’t require but was good to know. I think I slept for the first time in months as soon as my head hit the pillows. We had a ball lounging around in our jammies shooting the breeze.

Great place for a large family at a reasonable price. Enough seating to lounge around at distance if needed. Staithes is a lovely place to be or use a base for the moors or other parts of the coast.

Our family of six plus dog had a great week. The lodge had loads of space for us all to spread out, comfy beds and a nice welcome basket. The secure garden area was handy for our dog as the weather was warm and we could leave the door open. Both The Cod & Lobster and Captain Cook pubs in Staithes are dog friendly and did very good food.

A great place for a large group with larges living spaces. Well equipped kitchen. Owner was lovely and very supportive. A great place in a great location. The only area for improvement is the shower options... they were A little limiting if the property is full with 12 people. I would highly recommend this place!!

We had a fantastic time here. The area is splendid, with Staithes, Whitby and Scarborough all in easy reach, all with good beaches and places to eat. Captain Cook Inn and Cod and Lobster are perfect dinner prospects, both within easy walk. The property itself is spacious and well-laid out and appointed.

Really flexible and helpful owners. Great location, lots of room in the cottage for all, lovely and clean. Just scissors missing from kitchen which was a problem as all knives are a little blunt. This is only a little fault and by no means spoilt our stay. . . We will book to go back!

Very pleasant place to stay to explore that part of the coast and its towns. Very helpful staff/owner - who even decorated the place for Halloween! Comfortable, warm and well equipped. Wi fi would have been a good addition for those who feel the lack but it didn't bother us much - and mobile signal seemed good. Really enjoyed the stay.

The 11 of us (& the dog) had a lovely weekend celebrating a family birthday. Plenty of space for us to spread out in and Staithes is a beautiful place and a good spot to explore the surrounding area - and it’s fish n chips! The cottage was well equipped and the welcome and thoughtful goodies from Sarah were really appreciated, as was the local knowledge and advice on where to go and what to do (including the best spot for crabbing). Highly recommended!
