The accommodation was accurately described, the furniture and fittings looked new .. We would have liked to have WiFi available and would look for this in our next holiday let especially during COVID where places have to be pre booked. On a minor note a cafetière would have been nice to make coffee.

Cottage was extremely well presented and clean but unfortunately luck of the draw when you have a family staying in holiday let above, it was rather noisey at times.. Beautiful place Staithes and will definitely return.

It was a lovely little cottage just as advertised.. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We were aware of the issue of no parking prior to arrival, so we planned in advance moving our stuff, which we did in 2 trips. (It’s £6 for 24 hours). After reading a review a couple of days prior to going which mentioned damp and dirty bedding, I was a little concerned, but happy to say this was not the case for us. There are 2 pubs with a minutes walk which are both nice. If there was one issue it would be the upstairs neighbour being noisy, however I wouldn’t let it put you off going, if you’re a light sleeper just take earplugs!

A fabulous hideaway in a beautiful location , The locals were really friendly and having the Cod and Lobster public house so close was a real benefit especially after our long and invigorating cliff top walks..

Makeover of the cottage was/may have been needed but we preferred it the way it was before tbh.. Still a lovely cottage and we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay again. Would just change one thing - please bring back the upper cupboards in the kitchen - we had nowhere to store our food. Still overall, you have done a very good job of the refurbishment albeit we preferred the olde worlde style that the cottage was before. The newer, modern feel detracts from the quaintness of the cottage and its surroundings. Everything you need in this cottage. Great job!

I believe the owners are aware that this cottage is due for an overhaul.. This is a 300yr old property and therefore has some draw backs. The wall in living room is very damp. It would have been nice to have had the heaters on when we arrived as the place was cold and took a day to warm through. The kitchen is compact but has everything we needed. The bed could do with a new mattress. The bathroom is spacious and there is plenty of hot water. We loved the position in the heart of Staithes and we were fully aware of the problems with vehicular access, which would make this property difficult for anyone with mobility issues but this is made clear in the property details. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

I am really surprised at the negative comments left for this cottage.. I found the cottage absolutely divine. Everything you need. Comfort and cosiness. We thoroughly relaxed. (I am a very busy operations Manager) the area is delightful. The cottage is a stone's through from the sea front. The dog loved it as well and relaxed. We will definately be visiting this cottage again. Thank you so much for a truly amazing few days break! Sue, Steve and Socks

The cod and lobster is a beautiful little pub serving excellent food.. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I have just had a lovely relaxing weeks break in Grimes Nook.. The cottage was clean and comfortable and close to all amenities.It was great not to have wifi and a phone signal which helped us to have a chilled break. You can get a phone signal further up the hill if you needed to.The weather was very wet so the log burning stove was great.My only suggestion would be to have a tumble dryer in the cottage rather than a dishwasher as wet clothes were difficult to dry.We will definitely be returning.

This old fisherman's cottage is very quaint, of that there is no doubt. But, it is not without quite a lot of faults that are down to the owners and managers of the cottage. Because the cottage is away from the road, it is difficult to locate on a sat nav, and we ended up at a dead end on the road that leads down to the harbour. This road is so narrow that only one car at a time can be on it. So, as you can imagine it was an absolute nightmare parking the car, unloading it and then moving it a quarter of a mile up the road to a car park. The cottage is very small and just about caters for two people. The kitchen has facilities that you would expect e.g. fridge and cooker. But, surprisingly, the fridge does not have a freezer box in it and for some odd reason the owners have not installed a freezer, and instead, have put in a dishwasher. When you consider that the cottage is very small, there really doesn't seem much point having a dishwasher because I can't see anyone having big dinner parties that requires such a thing. Also, there is a table and chairs that does take up a large space in the kitchen area that would only require a very small fold out table, and folding chairs. Similarly to this, for some strange reason, there are two, quite large, three seater sofas that take up an awful lot of space that could be used in a far greater way. The same applies to the bathroom space. There is a big shower cubicle, a toilet and a sink. Next to the sink, on the right, is a floor to ceiling cupboard, that is separated into two halves. The top half is locked? And the bottom half is being utilised for cleaning equipment? There is nowhere to put washing items, as the bathroom cabinet is big enough for only a few items. The bedroom is what you would expect and has in it a small double bed, an old double freestanding wardrobe and an old wooden chair. Now, let the fun begin with sleeping. Personally, I would have expected a medium/firm mattress that was fairly new. No. What you get is a mattress that is so old that the springs are well beyond their boingability that you sink down to the slats on the bed frame. Now, I suffer from quite a lot of mild spinal complaints, and this mattress exacerbated all of these ailments to the point that I struggled to move first thing in the morning. It is far from comfortable and needs changing. The cottage is also damp and there is a dehumidifier in the lounge that really needs to be on all of the time to take the moisture out of the air. The damp is bad enough that there is a visible patch in the corner where the TV is. If there had been more reviews on this cottage there is no way my wife would have booked us for a full week and only have booked us for three nights as, despite the fact that Staithes is very pretty, there is nothing to do, apart from visit the two pubs and maybe visit the Captain Cook museum, and to spend any longer in the cottage would require a couple to be very happy in their own company and to do a lot of travelling to other places. Wether or not the cottage was part of a bigger house at some point, I am unsure, as there is the top part of Grimes Nook, which is also rented out. Because of this any movement from the visitors above can get very annoying, very quickly. I would love to give a better review of the cottage, but, there are too many things that made it a forgettable venture.

Stayed in this lovely cosy cottage. The wood burner was great and the cottage was very clean and had everything to make our 3 days away very special. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed in this lovely cottage for 3 nights over bank holiday weekend. The cottage provided everthing we needed, very comfortable, immaculate, wood burning stove was a bonus, well equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom. We managed to unload and load easily and parked in council car park. We will definately be back.

Absolutely delighted with the cottage; the owners had clearly thought of everything right down to the local arts and crafts on display to the Christy towels in the bathroom. Really nice finishing touches. The village itself was beautiful and we really liked wandering around in the evening after our various daytrips.
