Barn Owl in Staithes, near Whitby | Must-See Yorkshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Barn Owl

Barn Owl is a stylish bungalow cottage perched on a cliff in the North York Moors National Park. This elegant Yorkshire retreat combines wooden beams and exposed stone walls with modern comforts. Just a mile from the fishing village of Staithes with its cobbled streets and pastel buildings. Perfect for small groups with accessibility needs - it features ramp access and downstairs bedrooms.

The North York Moors location gives you the best of both worlds. Enjoy clifftop walks with sea views or explore the dramatic moorland. The cottage sits right on the edge of the national park, making it dead easy to discover everything Yorkshire has to offer. And after a day of exploring, nothing beats sinking into the shared hot tub (with weather cover!) while your muscles thank you for the break.

The accommodation sleeps 3 guests across 2 bedrooms, each with their own TV (no fighting over the remote). Both bathrooms are wet rooms - practical and spacious. The open-plan kitchen/living area features wooden beams, neutral colours and comes fully equipped with all appliances. Underfloor heating keeps everything toasty even in the chilliest Yorkshire weather.

Visit the Captain Cook & Staithes Heritage Centre (1 mile), explore Whitby's gothic abbey (20-minute drive), discover the fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay (25 minutes), or hike the Cleveland Way National Trail (accessible from Staithes). The coastal scenery will blow your mind.

Barn Owl offers the perfect base for exploring Yorkshire's coast and moors. The welcome pack is a lovely touch. Who doesn't love free stuff when they arrive? Book now for comfort, hot tub relaxation and Yorkshire's finest views.
