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.

The location is superb.
The location is superb. Staithes is the quaintest little fishing village you could hope to find.The property was easy to find and picking up the key was easy. The property is quite basic but it wasn't expensive so was more or less what we expected. The view from the decking was great if you can ignore the monstrosity of the mine which is most definitely a blot on the landscape. The cottage was fairly clean, unfortunately the cleaners don't look up. Most corners, the lampshades, and the fireplace nook were quite webby. The kitchen area is well stocked with a full size gas cooker and a nice big 'fridge/freezer. No washing machine though. The 3 bedrooms are all en suite, which was excellent. We did feel they would have benefitted from some strategically placed grab rails though. One of our party was a wheelchair user and she didn't feel safe in the bathroom. All in all we had a great week and Bosun's Rest was a really good place to be based for getting out and about.

Quite peaceful retreat. Lovely walks and scenery. Several good pubs to eat in the harbour is a great place to sit and people watch. Whitby is a shot car ride away and the moors are a delight. Would visit again
