Bannister Cottage

Saltburn-by-the-Sea sits on a coastline dotted with places worth the trip: Staithes for its steep cobbled village, Runswick Bay for sand and cliffs, and Whitby for its working harbour and literary history. All are within driving distance, and beaches are walkable from Bannister Cottage itself. The high street has cafés, pubs and independent shops close by.

This Victorian-era cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms—a double and a twin—with one bathroom. Downstairs, you'll find a living room with a fireplace, a separate dining room, and a kitchen equipped for cooking proper meals rather than holiday basics: there's a gas hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer suits longer stays. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included. One well-behaved pet stays free. The property is yours alone, with on-road parking outside and a lockable shed for bikes or outdoor kit. A small enclosed yard offers a place to sit outside.

No smoking indoors. There are six steps to the entrance, and a games room upstairs under the eaves—stocked with board games, jigsaws and books for quieter evenings in.
