About Kingfisher House

Kingfisher House is a striking Victorian property set in the heart of Staithes, one of North Yorkshire’s most enchanting coastal villages. This property is perfect for friends or a family looking for a getaway as it boasts sea views to enjoy, a freestanding bath and table football for entertainment.

Inside, the house retains all the warmth and grandeur of its heritage, with high ceilings, ornate coving, mosaic-tiled floors, and stained-glass details. The welcoming hallway leads into two elegant reception rooms, a bay-fronted lounge with a feature fireplace and picture windows framing countryside and sea views, and a charming dining room with another original fireplace, ideal for family meals and long conversations after a day by the coast.

The kitchen blends traditional style with modern practicality, boasting quartz worktops, dual ovens, a five-ring induction hob, and a dishwasher, perfect for preparing hearty breakfasts before a walk along the beach. Across the upper floors are six thoughtfully designed bedrooms, three with en-suite shower rooms.

The first floor offers bright, spacious doubles, all with TVs for lazy mornings. Upstairs, the top floor provides two further bedrooms, both with TVs and one with table football.

A fantastic bathroom, featuring a freestanding slipper bath and a separate shower, completes the interior. Outside, the enclosed front garden offers a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee among mature shrubs and sea air, while the rear courtyard provides parking for two cars.

From Kingfisher House, step out to explore the narrow cobbled streets of Staithes, where fishermen’s cottages cling to the cliffs and the harbour’s tidal waters shimmer beneath colourful boats. Visit the Staithes Gallery to see works inspired by the village’s famed artists’ colony, follow the coastal path for striking views of Cowbar Nab, or enjoy coffee and cake overlooking the sea.

The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 18 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 23 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 23 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 24 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 24 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 24 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.
