The Cod and Lobster pub is just a few doors away from our cottage. A key tip is to watch the world go by out of the living room window and watch for when an outside table becomes avaliable during busy months. Extremely popular due to it's stunning location, with fabulous views of the harbour. The cod serves good pub food, including lots of seafood, vegetarian and gluten free options. They also serve takeaway. In peak times (usually school holidays) there are no bookings, so it is first come first served. Out of these times please book well in advance as The Cod is very popular. The outdoor tables cannot be booked in advance.

At the top of the hill, near the carpark, this is the sister pub to The Cod and Lobster and a great option if The Cod is fully booked. There is an outdoor area with views of the sea and surrounding countryside. Portions are large, with gluten free and vegetarian options.

We simply love this 'sweet emporium' and so will children or those young at heart. A traditional sweet shop, with stunning decor. Next door they have a fabulous deli, which resembles Aladdin's cave and specialises in Spanish and Italian produce. There is a great selection of wines for special occasions.

Turn left out of the cottage and pass over the lovely little bridge by cobbles. The RNLI lifeboat station is by the harbour, which also makes a lovely stroll, especially if the waves are crashing. There is a small gift shop.

The Cleveland way is a 110 mile footpath, running between Helmsley and Filey and passing through Staithes. We thoroughly recommend following the 3 mile coastal section of the trail from Staithes to Runswick bay. If you have young children then perhaps cut the walk short at Port Mulgrave. From the cottage walk to The Cod and then up Church Street and you are on the route. This walk is steep at the beginning, but worth if for the views. If you make it to Runswick bay and want a bus back there is the X4 from outside Runswick Bay Hotel and it runs regularly.

Enjoy a round of adventure golf on the edge of the North York moors. We found this exceptionally good value and there is a fantastic playground, cafe and Jack and Jill coaching Inn and pub. This is also opposite Scaling dam.

We love walking along the Cleveland way to Runswick bay and rewarding ourselves with a stop off at the Royal Hotel. It has the most beautiful views of Runswick bay, roaring log fires and excellent pub food.
