We have stayed at the beautiful cottage before. It’s perfect for us . The cottage is right near the Beautiful harbour of Staithes , where you can sit and relax . The Cod and Lobster is there welcoming and inviting . Food is so tasty spoilt for choice . The Royal George a short walk . The cottage itself is clean and just as we had left it a year ago . The bedroom at the top could do with a fan and May be a small mirror as the one at top of the stairs is ok if your 6ft . And a small rail for hanging your clothes . Other than that . Hats off to the cleaner and owner . Thank. You for letting us let your beautiful property . We will soon be booking again ***

We love Sunnydene and it’s a yearly visit for us. It’s a beautiful cottage and sympathetically restored with modern twists (so warm) The cottage is ideally placed in the middle of the village and we just love being there. It’s cosy and clean- clearly well looked after. The owner is easy to get hold of if needed. Everything is straightforward and well thought ohf

We love Staithes and had the loveliest week here. The cottage was just wonderful and felt like a real home from home.
