Fossil hunting enthusiasts will be in their element as the surrounding area boasts finds such as ammonites, dinosaur footprints and more!

Whether you’re looking for a dog and pet friendly coastal lodge, a family self-catering holiday near Whitby, or a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, 18 The Pines offers comfort, location, and style in equal measure.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an rnli lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.

    Just missing a measuring jug and bread knife. Definitely will return to this beautiful lodge. Very peaceful place to visit at the Pines.

  • Jane

    Everything about this place oozes class. Quiet,gated site in a nice village. Dog friendly pub nearby and an awesome bay to boot.

  • Patricia

    It was well laid out and very comfortable. Dog felt right at home too. The Lodge was a few minutes walk to the pub and beach, and a convenient coast bus made exploring the coastal walks easy. We were able to leave the car behind which was wonderful. Cant think of any negatives except that we felt there could have been more kitchen ware - microwavable dishes for example. Extra mugs and cutlery would have been useful and would reduce the amount of dishwashing required. Minor issues and did not detract from our stay.
