Carters in Staintondale | Must-See Yorkshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Carters

Carters is a cosy ground-floor cottage in Staintondale, North Yorkshire. This one-bedroom hideaway sits at Meeting House Farm with stunning countryside views and perfect access to the Yorkshire coast. Just 8 miles from Scarborough and a short drive to Whitby, it's an ideal base for exploring this gorgeous part of Yorkshire without the tourist crowds.

Set on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, you'll find peace and quiet with occasional wildlife visitors - some guests spotted roe deer in the adjacent meadow! The location is brilliant for walkers with the Cleveland Way and Cinder Track nearby. Both lead to Robin Hood's Bay where you can reward yourself with a pint after your hike. You'll definitely need a car here, but that's the price of proper countryside, isn't it?

The cottage features an open-plan living area with kitchen, dining space and sitting area. The double bedroom includes an en-suite shower room that's been recently refurbished. Everything's spotlessly clean with thoughtful touches like milk and biscuits waiting for your arrival. The private hot tub is the star attraction - nothing beats soaking under the stars after a day of coastal walks.

Explore Scarborough (8 miles, 15 mins) with its two beautiful bays and castle. Visit Robin Hood's Bay (10 miles, 20 mins) for quaint streets and fossil hunting. Whitby (13 miles, 25 mins) offers Gothic abbey ruins, jet jewellery shops and the best fish and chips you'll ever taste. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 mins) takes you through stunning moorland scenery.

Carters is perfect for couples wanting a peaceful escape with coastal adventures on tap. The hot tub, countryside views and attentive owners make this accommodation special. No wonder so many guests at Carters keep coming back!

Very pleased with the cottage very clean friendly staff and fantastic location.

Lovely little cottage with great facilities. Really enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of points that were very minor and were not a problem for us but might be borne in mind. We couldn't find scissors. Were there some? Could be just us not looking properly but might be worth providing. If you could afford it, I would consider trying to even up the area around the hot tub and concreting the rocks securely as these wobble if you stand on them. I appreciate this might be an expensive undertaking though and is a suggestion only, not a criticism. Thank you Julia Jackson

Trevor

Robert

Had a great time, we will be back

Christopher

Its an ideal location to enjoy both Scarborough and Whitby. The view looking out from the hot tub as the sun sets is amazing. Location is lovely and quiet. The property has everything you need for a relaxing getaway.

Darren

This was our 3rd visit to Carters and we love the place. Smashing views, a fantastic hot tub and some lovely walks. We would thoroughly recommend.

Debbie

Friendly hosts providing perfect accommodation, spotless, comfy with everything we needed for a quiet peaceful week away. Lovely views with the added bonus of the hot tub. Can't wait to come back..

We absolutely loved staying in this little cottage. The kitchen was well equipped, the cottage cosy and spotless, and the hot tub fantastic. Location was particularly good, with easy access to Whitby, Scarborough and the moors by car however, car is essential. Meeting House Farm had a lovely noncorporate family feel we loved the friendly cats and we would definitely stay again. Our only suggestion would be more lights in the living room and a slightly softer mattress. We look forward to returning

Had a lovely stay for 3nights in this cottage. Well equipped, everything you need. We couldnt get on WiFi, contacted owner and he came over in a few minutes to help us get sorted. There was a power cut one night in the whole area and again the owner came over with candles. Very much appreciated. Hot tub was great. Would definitely come again. Nice location, near Whitby and Robinhoods Bay.

Joseph

Very reasonably priced for what you get. Lovely little cottage perfect for a couple, and bigger cottages around to cater for families. Although we didn't meet the owners, you can tell they take pride in their cottages. Very clean and tidy, and the hot tub was perfect after a long day of walking down the stunning Yorkshire coast. Highly recommend the walk down the Cinder track to Robin Hoods Bay, and the Cleveland Way track from Whitby the other side. All in all a lovely getaway for us, thank you!

Philip

The accommodation is well organised and well equipped. The bathroom has recently been refurbished and is very clean and tidy. The heating is adequate and we were very comfortable. There is ample offroad parking and pleasant views. We saw 3 roe deer in the adjacent meadow one morning. All in all a very enjoyable stay. Phil and Marg.

Loved time spent at Carters Cottage. Cottage quaint and surroundings peaceful Hot Tub lovely, relaxing, tranquil and private We didnt meet the owners, but they have been helpful since our departure

Micheal

Huge thanks to Ben and Wendy for a tremendous week in a home from home. Very comfortable and very accurate listings, we had an excellent week and the hot tub at the end of every day was amazing. We will be looking at returning to the same property it was that good.

Lovely cottage Cups a little dirty and stained Apart from that no issues. Small sofa but big enough for 2..

Disappointed overall with the cottage. Informed Sykes of several issues, some were dealt with by the owner, unfortunately Sykes were most unhelpful.

Wonderful place wonderful views

Excellent cottage, beautiful setting, very clean and welcoming, really pleased we booked

Lovely cottage, had a fantastic time here and the hot tub was perfect.

We had a lovely stay in this cozy little cottage. Many thanks to the owners for accommodating us at such short notice it was exactly what we needed for the weekend.

Kristina

Cute and cosy cottage for a lovely New Year break. Warm and clean and well appointed with nice furnishings and a fabulous hot tub. We loved our stay here. Friendly owners. We had lunch at the Hare and Hounds at Hawkser, recommended. A coffee machine would be the only improvement.

Absolutely lovely stay without any issues.

Michael

It was a lovely stay. The cottage is cleans, comfortable and the hot tub is ace! It's a short drive away from Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. The cottage was easy to find and not too far from local amenities.

Claire

Very much as described and exactly as required. First night something tripped the electrics. Left a voicemail and within 10 mins there was someone to fix it at our door. Wendy was lovely and full of apologies. Hot tub was just what Dr ordered after visits to Robin Hoods Bay and surrounding towns.

Cosy cottage, beautiful location, 1010 recommend. The cottage was absolutely spotless, and the owners have really thought about the little added extras that make a stay extra special. We stayed in Carter's, and relaxing in the hot tub after a day out exploring the different bays and costal towns, with the stars above was amazing! We can't wait to come back and stay again. A little gem of a place.

Christine

Lovely little cottage, spotless, comfy beds, fabulous hot tub, very enjoyable four nights

Jacqueline

This was a sweet little cottage in a great location handy for walks along the Cleveland Way and the cinder trail and within easy reach of Whitby and Scarborough. The listing states that double glazing has been recently fitted and the owners have opted for fully opaque glass. This made the cottage very gloomy inside. Also be aware that the fridge is a larder with no ice compartment so not able to freeze ice packs for picnic lunches or make ice for drinks.

We had a fantastic holiday at Meeting House farm. The accommodation was adequate and just what we wanted for our break. The owners were very friendly, as were all the local people. The site where the cottage is was brilliant for touring Yorkshire moors and Whitby, Scarborough and loads more. All in all we had an unforgettable holiday.

Steven

This was the fifth time we have stayed at carter's and as usual we had a great time . Very relaxing . The cottage is always clean the tub is great and the owners are lovely people . We will be going again

Rachael

We loved our mini break. It was just what we both needed after the craziness of DecemberChristmas. The cottage was bigger than I expected. Was lovely and clean. Had everything you could ever need. The hottub was amazing. We couldn't have had a better newyearweekend away. We highly recommend your property Thankyou for having us. All the best Rach & Dan

Heating not that efficient heating in lounge area Stones by hot tub were slippy and had to be used with great care

Very lovely stay. Beautiful little cottage with just about everything you need. Perfect for weekends away or short weeks holiday. Lots of sight seeing around, and towns not to too far if you need anything. The only thing me and my partner would say, is that the living room can get quite cold in the evenings probably just winter months, even with the heating on. Extra blankets would be nice, or a draft excluder for the front door maybe. Other than that, it was perfect.

The accommodation was perfect for us. The location is fantastic close to the Cleveland Way and Cinder Track but in a quiet area. Very easy to get to Scarborough, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay all within a 20 minute drive. You can walk if you prefer and if you dont fancy doing the round trip, the buses are excellent. We walked from the cottage to Robin Hoods Bay via the Cleveland Way and back along the cinder track. Another day we parked at Robin Hoods Bay and walked along the Cleveland Way to Whitby and back the same way as the views were outstanding both ways. We also visited Staithes and walked from there to Whitby but then caught the bus back. The cottage itself is very clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The highlight for us was the hot tub which was fantastic after a days walking. Plenty of good pub meals within a short drive also. We had good meals at the Hayburn Wyke and the Bryherstones and in Scarborough we had a lovely meal at Giannis but our favourite meal of the week was at AZ in Scarborough. This is a great base for anyone and you wont be disappointed at Carters. Owners are on hand also if you need anything.

Harvey

Cosy little cottage, couldnt fault it other than I wish Id stayed for the week instead of just 3 nights! Hot tub is an added bonus. Some nice local walks & local pub The Hayburn Wyke Inn is only a 5 minute drive away. Highly recommend.

All went well. No issues.

Steven

We enjoyed the location and the venue so much that we will return at some time to continue exploring the area. The hosts were very attentive and improving and maintaining the facilities all the time. Lovely people.

Victoria

This was our 3rd visit. Absolutely love the place as its great to relax after a day out in the hot tub. Very friendly and welcoming owners

Was very clean, nice and relaxing enjoyed sitting in the hot tub looking at the view and the stars at night. Great location for the cleveland way and cinder track. Will definitely be back.
