The Living Room
The living room at Heart Stone Cottage is the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the North Yorkshire coastline. Decorated in deep navy and crisp white tones inspired by the sea, this cosy space blends nautical charm with snug comfort. The original dark beams add character overhead, while soft lighting and plush grey carpeting create a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Sink into the oversized corner sofa—dressed in soft, checked throws—and enjoy your favourite films or series on the large smart TV, complete with streaming apps for quiet evenings in. A traditional-style fireplace anchors the room, offering an authentic cottage feel, while built-in shelves display locally inspired décor and add a personal touch. Whether you’re curled up with a book, catching up on box sets, or enjoying a glass of wine after dinner, this is a room designed for pure relaxation.
Kitchen
Compact, stylish, and fully equipped, the kitchen at Heart Stone Cottage is designed to make self-catering feel effortless and enjoyable. Wrapped in cheerful mustard-yellow metro tiles that bring a sunny, vintage vibe, this modern space combines functionality with personality. Guests will find everything they need—from an integrated oven and hob to a washing machine, kettle, toaster, and microwave. Open shelving reveals a thoughtfully curated collection of crockery, cookware, and utensils, so you can enjoy everything from a quick breakfast to a cosy evening meal in. With views out to the greenery through a cottage-style window and ample counter space, this kitchen is ideal for whipping up a hearty post-walk supper or enjoying a slow morning coffee with the windows open to the fresh sea air.
The Master Room
Step into the heart of comfort and tranquillity in the beautifully appointed master double bedroom at Heart Stone Cottage. Designed with relaxation in mind, this serene space blends heritage charm with elegant touches. Framed by original beams and soft sage green panelling, the room features a luxurious double bed dressed in plush, textured linens and deep emerald tones that echo the surrounding coastal landscape. Soft lighting and rich velvet curtains create a cosy, cocoon-like atmosphere—perfect for slow mornings or restful evenings after exploring Staithes. A restored period fireplace adds character and warmth to the space, now decorated with seasonal greenery and candles to set a calm, romantic mood. Unique heart-shaped mirrors and subtle botanical décor bring a touch of whimsy and charm, while thoughtful details—like fluffy towels and ample storage—ensure your stay is as comfortable as it is stylish. This peaceful, adults-only retreat is more than just a bedroom—it's a sanctuary for rest, reflection, and reconnecting with the simple pleasures of coastal living.
The Skinny Bathroom
Fresh, bright, and beautifully modern, the bathroom at Heart Stone Cottage offers a calming space to refresh and unwind. Though the room is very narrow in layout, it has been cleverly designed to make the most of the space, combining elegance with functionality. Sleek wall panels, soft lighting, and a light wood-effect floor create a spa-like feel, while chrome fixtures and minimalist design touches ensure both style and practicality. The walk-in shower features a glass screen and rainfall-style showerhead—perfect for rinsing off after a day by the sea. A wall-mounted mirror, heated towel rail, and modern concealed-cistern toilet complete the space, offering everything you need in a stylish, compact setting. While the room is snug, it remains comfortable and thoughtfully arranged for a pleasant and practical experience.
Twin Loft
Tucked away at the top of the cottage, the twin loft room is a characterful hideaway with a modern edge. Set beneath original exposed beams and bathed in natural light, this space combines cosy charm with bold, artistic flair. The dramatic feature wall—reminiscent of abstract woodland—sets a playful, contemporary tone, perfectly balanced by soft white bedding and luxurious black-and-gold accents. With two single beds and an elegant vintage-style side table with a mirror, this space is ideal for friends, siblings, or solo travellers seeking their own peaceful corner. Though compact, the room feels bright and welcoming, offering a tucked-away sanctuary to rest and recharge after a day by the sea. Please note: due to the sloped ceilings, this room may be best suited to nimble guests who are happy to duck under beams for a truly unique Staithes stay.
The Garden
At the front of Heart Stone Cottage, you'll find a neat entrance courtyard—a small but thoughtfully presented space that gives a warm welcome as you arrive. Recently updated with artificial grass and a smart grey bench, it’s a pleasant spot to pause with a coffee or take a breath of fresh sea air before heading out to explore Staithes. While this area isn’t fully private, as it sits beside a public footpath, it still offers a charming touch of greenery and a place to sit and watch the world go by. The leafy screen adds a bit of softness and separation, creating a relaxed coastal feel as you step into the cottage.
