Return from dipping furry feet in the salty sea to relax with your delighted dog at this Yorkshire coastal cottage. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom holiday home looks right out over the beck within the charming fishing village of Staithes, 10.5 miles from Whitby. Inside, it features a wood burner for your canine to curl up next to after bracing walks, while outside, there is a courtyard area where you and your pal can watch the boats come and go.

Brush down sandy paws and enter to find comfortable accommodation with a friendly ambience. Settle on the soft seating in the lounge while your chum rests his weary paws in front of the glowing wood burner. Find your favourite boxset on the Smart TV or play a game together as he dozes quietly on the rug. Head through to the well-equipped galley-style kitchen, which offers ample storage, to feed your famished furry friend. Prepare meals for everyone else here too and sit down in the dining room, with the door open to bring in a fresh breeze on warm days. Give your paw-fect pal a last pat before bed then make your own way up to the first floor, where you will find two king-size rooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and a bunk bedroom that the younger members of your party will adore. There is also a family bathroom up here. Sit outside in the paved courtyard on summer evenings, with a glass of wine in your hand and your contented canine by your side.

Stroll 350 metres down to the sand at Staithes Beach to let your pup bound in and out of the waves at any time of year. Follow part of the 12-mile section of the Cleveland Way, which runs between Staithes and Whitby.

We loved staying at the cottage. For us it was perfect location. I loved the terrace watching the river each day. The house was lovely and clean. The beds are very comfy. The kitchen was great. We love Staithes. Its perfect place to relax and enjoy the seaside.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gulls Haven! The location was excellent. Having a parking space provided was a major positive, as we have visited several properties in Staithes previously and know that this is very rare. The back terrace was lovely and the views across the beck were great from the bedrooms/while we were eating or relaxing downstairs.Read more Beds were comfy and shower was good (we didnt use the upstairs bath, but it was good to see that it did come with a shower hose attachment). Kitchen was very well equipped and the dishwasher was very welcome! The hob was easy to use and there was plenty of room in the fridge and freezer for our needs. Fabulous walks, as always, along the Cleveland way straight from the door. Plenty of good places for ice cream/snacks/cakes in the village. A favourite of ours is the butcher in Hinderwell, plus the Sunday School tearooms there (though do check the opening hours!). This year was our 10th visit to Staithes because we just love the vibe of the village and the array of walks available in the local area. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this property to friends and family. Hide
