Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Staithes

The village of Staithes lies on a rugged stretch of the North Yorkshire coast, with towering cliffs and spectacular beaches on its doorstep. A former centre for fishing in the Scarborough district, it lies within North York Moors National Park, close to high, barren moors, wooded river valleys and ancient ruins. Thanks to the village’s sea views, winding cobbled lanes, and 18th-century homes, holiday cottages in Staithes have become popular among visitors. Staithes has a pretty harbour framed by a pair of headlands, and there is a small sandy beach with rock pools at low tide. Staithes Beck meanders through the village, meeting the sea at the harbour.
