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.

About the host
Hosted by Sinead Sutcliffe
We are a couple from Leeds, West Yorkshire with a young family.
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.
