Keel Lodges - Spinnaker
North Yorkshire
View on Google MapsPhoto: Keel Lodges (Cottages)
Spinnaker is a single-storey lodge at Keel, close to Saltburn-by-the-Sea and the village of Staithes. Everything happens on one level: a combined living and dining space flows into a kitchen with gas cooker, dishwasher and full-size fridge, while two bedrooms and two bathrooms sit at either end. The first bedroom has a double and a single bed; the second has two singles. Both have en-suite bathrooms with baths and showers. A large decked terrace overlooks the grounds, and there is parking on site.
The lodge comes with wi-fi, bed linen and towels. Gas heating covers winter months. One dog stays free. Smoking is not permitted. The setting makes it useful for exploring the North Yorkshire coast and moors—the Cleveland Way passes nearby, offering cliff and moorland walks, and Staithes itself, a working fishing village with narrow streets and a small harbour, is a few minutes' walk downhill. Whitby, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and a handful of golf courses, leisure facilities and water sports venues lie within easy reach.

What guests say
Fantastic WWI barracks really well converted into a bungalow that sleeps 6. The owner was incredibly helpful and friendly. Each room has an en-suite and the beds are really comfortable. Its situation is perfect for exploring North Yorkshire and Staithes is such a beautiful, quaint little seaside town. My only small gripe is that the sofas are a little tired and you somewhat sink into the floor when you recline. Apart from that it is perfect. The kitchen is well equipped with a good array of cooking pans and implements. This made cooking for 5 people easy. There's even a toastie maker! The fridge-freezer is large and will easily hold enough food for a large family. The TV is a smart TV so really easy to connect any OD TV services. The TV is large enough, and the seating area laid out well enough for everyone to be able to comfortably watch. Oh... If you plan on prepping food, you should probably bring your own knife. I forgot, to my cost.. As with all self catering places, the knives are blunter than Gene Hunt. I don't envy holiday cottages keeping up with the abuse that most people show to kitchen knives. In summary, I would have zero hesitation in recommending Bosuns Rest as an amazing place to stay in North Yorkshire. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable, spacious with great views and perfectly situated for all manner of activities! Edit 2026: Just got back after a fantastic and poignant holiday back here. There are new sofas that are incredibly comfortable. There are new knives that are sharp. I absolutely love this cottage - It holds such happy memories for us as a family as it was my wife's last holiday before she died and coming back to the familiarity of this place was so comforting. Massive thanks to Sarah for everything!

A great 4 night stay at Captain's Quarters for our group of 3 families Loved the location, space, cleanliness and car parking. Thank you for decorating for Halloween. Above and beyond our expectations. The pool table was a big hit. Would love to return in the summer to make the most of the outdoor spaces.

We were fortunate to find a room at Keel Lodge when friends were unable to go. Sarah and her team gave us a warm and friendly welcome. The room was immaculate, the location stunning and Sarah was kind enough to allow Mabli our dog to stay, the usual extra cost for having our pet was kindly donated to charity (RNLI) Raising money for that charity was the reason we were there in the 1st place. Thank you, we will be back.

Back home after our 3rd stay at Keel Lodges. In Spinnaker again. Lovely roomy chalet style property with large decked outside space. Clean, warm and comfy. Biscuits and milk are a lovely gesture. Great having two bathrooms. Looking forward to future visits
