The lodge's proximity to the beach, local pub, and attractions like Whitby and Scarborough, as well as its peaceful setting, make the location highly desirable.
The lodge is generally found to be comfortable and well-equipped, though some guests note the twin beds are small and the double bed a bit springy.

About this property
Staithes 2.5 miles. Nestled within the village of Runswick Bay, near the charming seaside village of Staithes, is Mayflower Lodge, a well-positioned lodge, just a short stroll from the Yorkshire coastline and North York Moors National Park. Enjoy the rural setting of Lodge 2 Mayflower, benefitting from a private decked area with hot tub, an open-plan interior, and two bedrooms to accommodate four guests. Be impressed by the living space, with a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and lovely sitting area with an electric fire to set a relaxing ambiance. The decked area can be reached via the French doors, arriving to a decked area with patio furniture, where you can dine alfresco or simply enjoy a morning coffee. Spend the evening stargazing from the indulgent hot tub, before selecting between a king-size or twin bedroom. Come morning, enjoy a stroll and some fresh air along Runswick Bay Beach, ahead of reaching the village for some brunch in a local café; an afternoon of watersports can also be expected from the beach, where you can try your hand at kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. Travel to Stathes for further amenities, including local shops, pubs, restaurants, tea rooms, takeaways and fish and chip shops. Ramble along the Cleveland Way, displaying 109 miles of breath-taking scenery, the stunning shoreline, and a variety of pretty villages along the way, leading you towards the national park. Be sure to head to Whitby for a fun-filled itinerary, with a visit to the gothic Whitby Abbey, a tour of the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, and a stroll along a hub of independent shops and cafés on the cards. Make unforgettable memories at Mayflower Lodge.
A delight for artists, Staithes is a quaint, peaceful seaside town with cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways. A secluded sandy beach is nestled among the rocky shoreline, and the town's charming homes and cottages are grouped around the historic harbour and bordered by high, jagged cliffs on three sides. The community can claim ties to Captain Cook, who served as an apprentice to a draper close to the harbour. Today, Staithes, which boasts a decent selection of pubs, shops, and tea rooms, is a must-see for anyone travelling to the Yorkshire Coast. There is still an rnli lifeboat station in Staithes, along with a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) that land fish, crab, and lobster. Boat trips are also offered for fishing, birdwatching, and even whale watching. Old Jack's Boat, a well-liked BBC children's television programme, is also filmed there. With an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries, and artist studios that frequently provide art classes and seminars, Staithes has a strong draw for artists. The network of ginnels (alleyways) is navigated by the free Illusion Trail, which also offers local trail guides. The Cleveland Way, which descends the cliff to the sea's edge, offers the best views of the town. All in all, a great starting point for touring the Yorkshire Coast, going to Whitby or Scarborough, or taking in the moorland settlements of the North York Moors National Park.
