This traditional cottage in the quiet village of Staithes is perfect for a seaside getaway. After a busy day fossil hunting and rock pooling at the nearby harbour beach, you can head home to relax in the open-plan living area or enjoy a sociable meal at the dining table.

Location-wise, you’re on the North Yorkshire coast – sandwiched between popular Whitby and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – which can both be reached within half an hour.

The Yorkshire Dales National Park is more green and undulating with grey stone villages dotting the hillside and fields and fells stretching to the horizon. Between the...
