Spacious grounds. Ample parking. No smoking. Please note: No stag, hen or other party bookings allowed.. Situated at Staithes, near Whitby, these former World War I army barracks are in an idyllic position close to the countryside and sea. Four of the barracks have been ingeniously and tastefully transformed to provide good quality accommodation retaining much rustic character and charm. 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.
Please note: As the four lodges are in close proximity to one another, they could be booked for groups of up to 24 guests. Additional en-suite rooms available on site, on request with owner.. In Staithes, near Whitby there is the Life Boat weekend in August and the Arts and Heritage Festival in September.
Baby bath and socket protectors available on request. There is a car number plate recognistion system in place, please advise the owner of your car number plate in advance of your stay. Bike parking racks available for bikes, cover can be provided on request.
Towels can be provided upon request for pets. Please call to request this or let the owner know when you contact them to arrange key collection. Please ensure the owner is aware you would like these before arrival at the property.

Lovely clean converted barrack. Only spent the weekend with the family, but was such a relaxing weekend. Sarah went out of her way to Makesure everything was ready for us and even left treats for the kids and my dog. Where looking at booking to go back in the summer. If your after a quiet retreat I’d defo recommend this hut 😁
