Hayloft in Staintondale | Must-See Vale of York Hot Tub Cottage

About Hayloft

Hayloft is a converted barn that packs a punch in Staintondale, right on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. This homely three-bedroom retreat sits in a perfect spot between the coast and countryside. The views are absolutely stunning - worth the trip alone, honestly.

The location is spot on. You're just 8 miles from Scarborough's beaches, 10 miles from Robin Hood's Bay and 13 miles from Whitby. Perfect for exploring Yorkshire's best bits without the tourist crowds. It's wonderfully quiet here - no noisy neighbours, just peaceful countryside and fresh air. After a day of exploring, soak those tired muscles in your private hot tub. Glass of wine optional but highly recommended!

The accommodation is surprisingly spacious. There's a mezzanine double bedroom, another double and a twin - comfortably sleeping six people. The ground floor bathroom has both bath and shower. The kitchen/diner has everything you need: electric oven, ceramic hob, microwave, fridge, washing machine and dishwasher. The sitting room features a cosy woodburner - perfect for those chillier evenings.

Nearby attractions include Scarborough Castle (8 miles, 20 minutes), North Yorkshire Moors Railway (15 miles, 25 minutes), Whitby Abbey (13 miles, 25 minutes) and Dalby Forest (12 miles, 25 minutes).

Hayloft is ideal for families or groups wanting to explore Yorkshire's coast and countryside. The hot tub is the cherry on top - nothing beats stargazing from warm bubbling water after a day of Yorkshire adventures!

Hayloft Reviews

A lovely stay, thank you! Everything was spotlessly clean and so wonderfully quiet. Great location, not too far from anything really. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Robert

We had a 3 night stay with our two girls and we all loved it the photos dont really do the size of the place any justice the location is great and being out in the coast and country its a short drive to anywhere. We will definitely make a return visit but maybe in the summer when the nights are longer so we can make good use of the outdoor space. Thank you.

Fabulous location, excellent converted barn with all the facilities you need. Very comfortable and warm inside despite the cold weather outside. Would definitely return.

Alison

Our 2nd visit to Hayloft A beautiful cosy lodge, very clean and fabulous location. The owners are lovely, very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to everyone and we will be returning again.

The Hayloft was just perfect, spacious for the 6 of us. Kitchen was well equipped and great to have a washing machine and dishwasher. The hot tub was such a great addition for the evenings to chill together and chat. Nice to have the garden to play as well. Location great for exploring the North Yorkshire Coast, a car is needed as the location is rural but lovely as so peaceful.My only suggestion would be to have another toilet, there were many occasions where the children were crossed legged!! A great holiday, would definitely recommend.

Debbie

Amazing property, stunning views. Central location for places of interest and some lovely pubs for food. Didnt want to come home! Only comment which may be a little petty, one of the kids dropped a piece of jewellery on the settee. Whilst rummaging between and behind cushions to retrieve was a little disappointed to come across a very large accumulation of crumbs and other bits, never a good feeling plunging hands into the unknown, this was a little shocking. One good swipe of a hoover nozzle would clear this.

Lovely spacious cottage in beautiful surroundings, perfect for a relaxing getaway to escape from the daily hustle and bustle. the cottage was modern, clean and provided everything you need for a few days away, x

We had a wonderful stay at the hayloft. We are a family of grandparents , children and grandchildren and stayed for a week. Plenty of room , plenty of parking , great facilities and everything you need to have a lovely holiday.

Rosemary

Wonderful cottage which is even more spacious that it looks on the photos. The location is so peaceful yet driving to the nearest towns of Whitby and Scarborough was not difficult. The Hayloft had everything we needed for our stay couldnt fault it at all. Immaculately clean and very well equipped. Would highly recommend and hope to return again one day

Hayloft is prefect for a relaxing week away. Has everything you need plus amazing views from the jacuzzi. Highly recommend

Denise

A lovely cottage in a beautiful rural setting. Comfortable beds, nicely furnished and the log burner added extra charm on an evening. The kitchen had everything you need, plenty of cutlery and crockery but if you are planning on making a casserole etc, take your own larger pans. The hot tub was a good size and serviced daily. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Joanne

Fabulous cottage and location . Will definitely stay again.

Barbara

Having stayed at Hayloft for 3 nights 15th to 18th Sept we have absolutely loved this accommodation and the location. We could not fault same. The accommodation is so lovely, well equipped and cosy. We especially enjoyed the hot tub with views , all the more made better with the fab weather we had. The location is ideal for walking to Haybeck Wyke one way and Robin Hoods Bay the other, and further afield if you so desire. We have all stated we would book here again and are looking to do so. Would highly recommend this property.

Had an amazing time at Hayloft. It's a fantastic cottage in a great location, perfect for walking along the coast to Robin Hood's Bay, and very short drive to Whitby and Scarborough. The cottage itself is perfect, with a fantastic hot tub to unwind after a day's walking. We group of 6 had a brilliant time. Fully stocked kitchen, and wonderful dining table meant we could cook full meals and enjoy them together in the evening. Lovely large living room with log burner we didn't need to use, and plenty of comfy seating for us all. Three immaculate bedrooms, comfy beds, provided a good night's sleep. Can't speak highly enough and will definitely return again for a third time.

Rachel

We loved our stay. Great location beautiful views. Lovely hot tub and cottage. Hosts were lovely and friendly would definitely recommend.

Alison

Lovely Barn with home comforts. Lovely location on a farm which was nice to see the horses each day. Fantastic views from the garden, kitchen and hot tub across the fields. So quiet and relaxing too. Plenty of parking, nice walks starting at the bottom of the garden which was a bonus. Good quality facilities. Some people may want a 2nd bathroom as barn sleeps 6 as there's plenty of space for one, but it was fine for us. All in all we would definitely recommend Hayloft.

Daniel

Accommodation was amazing. Spacious, clean and everything we needed. Perfect location for coastal walks. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Denise

Hayloft is in a beautiful setting and so close to many places and has a huge garden. The house was clean and well looked after and having the hot tub was great. There is only one bathroom in the property, which for the 4 of us it was fine but as it sleeps 6 this might not be so good. I advised to Ben the owner that the bathroom needs some shelf space as there was only the sink to pop toothbrushes on and it was a squeeze and also pop something in the shower to hold shampoo ect, he did welcome the feedback. Hubby loved the bed, but for me it was too firm but thats something that cant suit everyone. All in all a lovely barn, in a lovely setting and we would return. Thanks Ben & Wendy it was lovely to meet you.

Adrian

The cottage was lovely and we had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hayloft. This is probably the best holiday home we have stayed in so far. The hayloft is much better than the pictures, we were not disappointed. It was a really relaxing break for 3 adults and a baby, a great base to go visiting during the day. If we ever come back to the moors we will stay agian. The new heating installed was easy to use, really warm and a first for us. All the renovations they have completed are top notch. Just book now!

Joanne

Beautiful throughly enjoyed

Fantastic stay with our parents and children between Christmas and New Year! Barn is better than the photos show. It is very homely and cosy and we didnt want to go home. Hot tub is fab with beautiful views but definitely could be enhanced with a roof of sorts to protect from the windrain. Log burner was wonderful, bedrooms comfortable, lovely farmhouse style kitchen could do with extra serving dishes, pizza cutterfull cheese grater and other utensils you may use for making quick food whilst away. We went to the Hayburn Wyke Inn for food which was very cosy on a wintery day. Scarborough was a seaside treat. Would definitely return without a second thought. Go on and book!

Fab time thanks

We decided to stay here for a long weekend, we took our 1 year old daughter and we absolutely loved it, we would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a break in the countryside with a small child, or any age child. Theres plenty of animals and a big garden. Theres an open fire which at first I was worried about with my little girl being so into everything but the living room is huge and spacious enough that theres no reason to be near the fire. We will definitely be returning. We are frequent long weekend away type people and this is by far the best place weve stayed. Owners are a delight as well as friendly 1010 in every way possible

Amanda

Hayloft was beautiful. So peaceful and had everything you'd ever need for a relaxing stay.

Katherine

Absolutely stunning property really was home from home. Everything provided for a comfortable and relaxing break. Will hopefully be return visitors and will definitely recommend to family and friends who are looking to holiday in the area. Thank you for providing a wonderful base for our short break

Lovely cottage, superb hosts. Will be returning for a fourth visit

Danielle

Fantastic week at hayloft. Felt like home from the minute we arrived with a little welcome pack for us. Cottage was very clean and tidy. No problems at all. Kids loved the hot tub adults didn't really get to enjoy the peace and quiet lol. Plenty of things to do in the area. Wish we had booked another week as didn't want to leave. We look forward to visiting again at some point.

This property could be fantastic. The views are spectacular in an amazing location. Its potential could be made better by the following Get a new TV and upgrade your Sky box. Why are all the plates chipped in the kitchen? This is a health hazard and chipped plates should be thrown away. The frying pan was shocking and had to be thrown. The patio doors in the living room did not lock and the whole thing was loose. When the wind blew it was a little noisy for the two sleeping above the lounge. Having a holiday home is an investment and I would recommend that you put some investment back into it. Otherwise we had a great stay. David

This cottage is set in stunning surroundings. Loved being able to sit in the hot tub in tranquil peace looking out over the rolling hills. Well placed for reaching many places such as Whitby and Scarborough for the kids. A few extra additions to the kitchen facilities would make this absolutely perfect roasting tin and or Pyrex dish for pasta bakes and egg cups the kids are quite partial to a boiled egg and soldiers for breakfast

Darren

We have just got back from an amazing stay at the Hayloft. The Hayloft is Home from Home and if you decide to eat in has all the facilities you need. It is situated in a great place, ideal for Scarborough or Whitby or anywhere on the north east coast really. We had a few hours in Ravenscar which is just up the road and were lucky enough to see the seal colony. The kids and wife loved the hot tub and the views from this were great The place was really warm and even warmer with the wood burning fire. We took our own board games but it even has them. Ben owner was brilliant too and nothing was ever too much trouble. We loved our stay here and will definitely be booking again in the not too distant future. Cant wait to come back. Thanks again for a great cottage

Joanne

Christopher

Great stay with in a lovely location. The property was clean, well appointed with lovely views over the moors. Friendly hosts giving hints and tips.

Christopher

The cottage was lovely, in a beautiful and quiet area. Perfectly positioned for easy access to Whitby and Scarborough as well as other places of interest in the surrounding area. The kids loved the hot tub and we enjoyed the coziness of the log fire on a night time. A great stay, thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Hayloft, our 2 year old daughter loved it so much also. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. The hot tub is a welcome addition at the end of a long day exploring the local villages and area.

What a fantastic cottage in a wonderful location. Had everything we needed and the hot tub is perfect after a long days' walk. Highly recommended Five

Deborah

The location was good for exploring North Yorkshire, the cottage was everything we were hoping for and we would recommend this cottage.

The hayloft is a lovely place to stay and i would recommend it to anyone. very clean and well maintained. Ben and Wendy, the owners are on hand to answer any questions and to carry out a water change of the hot tub if needed. the countryside is beautiful and there are countrysidecoastal walks from the cottage. the farm has a few pet sheep, dogs and cats. there are also deer in the field behind the hayloft that can been seen if you get up early, and there is a toad that hops along the side of the cottage every night loved him. the hayloft is homely, quiet and it was a pleasure to stay. if you want a restful holiday, where you can drive to the coast for the kids but relax in a tub overlooking beautiful countryside in the evenings, then the hayloft is defiantly for you. in fact we loved it so much we are going back next year!

Kristian

Wonderful stay at a perfect cottage. Couldnt be faulted in any way. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed.

Ashley

We stayed in Hayloft cottage the last week in June 2021! It was a needed girls trip to relax and do some exploring. The cottage did not disappoint! Its a lovely cottage with beautiful views and in a peaceful location. We couldnt have asked for anything more! We did find the cottage a little cold at times and would have loved some comfy throws for the living room. This wouldnt stop us visiting again! We ventured out everyday then relaxed in the hot tub before going out in the evening. This cottage is in a great location for exploring, Whitby is a 20mins drive and Scarborough beach is10mins drive. We would recommend the below while staying at the Hayloft Trip to Ravenscar to see the seals the walk to the seals is down hill so walking back is a struggle. Definitely worth it! Falling Foss Waterfall great adventure with a lovely tea room hidden away for a coffee and cake. The Foulsyke we went for Sunday lunch. Great value for money and great tasting food. They serve the biggest Yorkshire puddings I have ever seen. Alberts Eatery Whitby beautiful seafood restaurant with a great atmosphere. High recommended! The plough in Scalby great restaurant, amazing goat cheese pie and fantastic espresso martini.
