Bumblebee Lodge is in Staithes. It's a single-storey lodge, so no stairs inside, which is handy. It's detached and has its own parking space. We refurbished it all in 2022.
It sleeps five. Three bedrooms and one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating. The living space is open-plan.
The lodge is at the bottom of a steep hill in a quiet part of the village. To get down to the harbour itself, there's another steep hill. Just something to be aware of if you've got a pram or anyone with limited mobility.
Staithes is a proper old fishing village. Cobbled streets, boats in the harbour, that sort of thing. There's a small beach. It's in the North York Moors National Park, so the scenery is good. The Cleveland Way coastal path runs right past, which is great for walks.
In the village there are a few pubs, shops, and tea rooms. The local lifeboat station is still active. Whitby is about a 20 minute drive away for a bigger day out.
Inside, there's a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a cot and highchair if you need them. Bedding and towels are included. There's a patio and garden area. WiFi is available but there is an extra charge for it.
For planning days out, the North York Moors National Park site is useful, and the National Trust for Yorkshire has local properties.
