What guests think
Across recent reviews, The Captain Cook Inn is praised for friendly, helpful staff, spacious rooms with views, and a convenient hilltop location with on‑site parking for exploring Staithes and the Cleveland Way.
Several reviews cite dated decor and maintenance lapses, patchy Wi‑Fi, weak showers, and occasional cleanliness issues. Noise from the bar or other guests and inconsistent bed comfort are recurring downsides, and check‑in or overnight staffing can be limited. Food and breakfast are widely praised for quality and generous portions, though early departures may receive simple packed alternatives. Overall, expect a friendly pub stay with good value but some trade‑offs in polish and quiet.

Typical oldish property. Large Rooms - high ceilings - rather dated furnishings but perfectly clean and functional. Stayed one night and had problems with the WiFi not working which was annoying. Lovely location close to Staithes Harbour area. The pub is popular with tourists and locals and plenty of people having food. The breakfast was very good. Only disappointment was that I left my Tablet Charger behind in my room, and despite my phoning the day I left, and being promised it would be sent on to me in the post (which I promised to re-imburse), it never arrived with me! I emailed twice to chase it up but never got a reply to either Email bar the standard acknowledgement of email receipt.

Whilst the staff were friendly and very good and the linen was spotless, the room and bathroom were disappointing - for example - no cover on the toilet seat, signs of mould around top edge of bath, stains on the carpet, bathroom floor repair with gaffer tape, a picture hook left on the wall with no picture, a modern smart TV but which could only get main channels, Wifi that did not work - couldn’t get connected in spite of BT equipment right outside the room- not one comfortable seat in the room, cheap furniture and a mattress that one couldn’t move on without disturbing the other sleeper. Breakfast was good and other food served was conventional and ok. Overall we felt it was overpriced.

We were shown to our room it was warm, we then went out to a restaurant for dinner. Bar at Captain Cool was friendly and lively. We went to bed, the bed had seen better days the mattress did not fit and there was a hard plank across the middle of bedframe. The bedroom door rattled in its frame all night. I had broken sleep all night. When I went to shower in morning I found a mouldy shower head, see picture. The bathroom on closer inspection was not the cleanest I have seen black mouldy gunge around shower. Breakfast was okay. There was no one available when checking out to advise the above. I have stayed in far cheaper places that were much much better.

This is probably the worst hotel I have stayed in but the b'fast was good and I can't blame the staff. But the owners have made zero investment and do not maintain the place. The taps leaked, the shower should be renamed a dribble and the rad was uncontrollable so we tried to sleep in a sauna. The carpet was filthy and the bathroom floor was broken so difficult to clean. There was no toilet lid! And this is the second "better" room we were given because the first was worse than terrible. There was no mirror for example. In both rooms there was no basic equipment like a hairdryer and no pictures on the wall or anything so no effort to provide any ambiance. Avoid at all costs unless they demonstrate improvement.

The room and bathroom were good. The staff pleasant. Unfortunately the double bed in room 5 was hard and very uncomfortable. To get any sleep, I put the duvet upon the mattress. Also, there does not appear to be any staff on site over night. I was up early but downstairs, all the doors to dining room and others were locked. I went outside and found myself locked out. I had left access number in room and had to wait for arrival of cook to be let into building. £150 for room did not prepare myself for this experience.

The propert location is beautiful, thay is the only good point. Cream carpet stained, paint peeling off the wall, curtains hanging off. Then to top it off at 6.45pm the most excessive booming began under our room from downstairs. The bass so loud it was making the bed vibrate, the bedside table lamps physically move. I went down to complain to be told what did i expect it was a pub and it would end at 11pm!! No doubt i packed up and left. I have staued above numerous pubs and mever had this issue!! I have emailed to booking site and the captain cook itself!! Absolutely appalled

Great little gem find of a hotel. In a fabulous position right and overlooking Staithes bay. We had a fabulous room with a double aspect view both over the bay and the fields which gave us stunning sunsets. We requested an ensuite room with a walk-in show which we actually had when we got there so a real bonus!!! Service was good and food in bar/restaurant was also very good. Bus stop is at the top of the road to both Scarborough and Middlesbrough. We used our free bus passes and went to Whitby & Robin Hood's Bay so no car parking charges for us!!! Well worth staying there ❤

Great stay at the Captain Cook Inn, an old Inn with lots of character. Stayed in room 4, very light, airy and spacious. Views down to the sea and across the countryside to watch the sun set. Staff lovely, very accommodating and helpful. We were leaving for a boat trip before breakfast started so they gave us a packed lunch instead, and said it was fine to leave the car there until we got back. Would definitely stay there again.

I arrived mid-morning, knowing that check-in was not until 4.00pm. Despite this, they allowed me to park my car in their car park so that I could go off on a hike along the coastal path. Later, when I checked in and was shown to a room, they let me switch to a room with a bath, which I need for medical reasons. This was much appreciated, as were the evening meal and breakfast which were excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all, one of the best B&Bs I have ever stayed in.

Ideally situated for my boat trips. Room good size clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Good choice for evening meals. Staff friendly and helpful. I would stay there again for my whale trips. Only minor thing which wasn't great was that on one morning I was out before breakfast and the hotel supplied a 'pack up'. This consisted of a packet of crisps, a biscuit and bottle of water.

This is a fantastic base from which to explore the Cleveland coast. Staithes is a lovely village and the Captain Cook sits at the top of the hill down to the quayside. Staff are really friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable and spotless. Breakfast was great and, again, the staff really friendly and helpful. Lovely coastal walks from the front door and Saltburn and Whitby close by. Really good value for money. We will definitely return.

Great little gem find of a hotel. In a fabulous position right and overlooking Staithes bay. We had a fabulous room with a double aspect view both over the bay and the fields which gave us stunning sunsets. We requested an ensuite room with a walk-in show which we actually had when we got there so a real bonus!!! Service was good and food in bar/restaurant was also very good. Bus stop is at the top of the road to both Scarborough and Middlesbrough. We used our free bus passes and went to Whitby & Robin Hood's Bay so no car parking charges for us!!! Well worth staying there ❤

Staithes is a beautiful village, although we were certainly lucky with the weather. The Inn was a great place to stay, with a tucked away car park at the rear. Nice big room and good bathroom. Great breakfast including kippers as an option. It is short walk down into the village where there are other eating and drinking options too and lovely walks and views. Steep back up though!

Reasonably priced, clean, staff very polite, helpful and welcoming. Bed was comfy and the room was clean and warm. Breakfast was all fresh and the food was great. Ideally placed with a short walk down to the harbour or up to the the nearest bus stop to travel further afield if so desired. Would recommend to anyone visiting Staithes and looking to explore further afield.

We arrived 30 mins early & our room was ready. Large, clean and comfortable with a bay window overlooking lovely views. Without exception staff were friendly, helpful & polite. Food was really good - can recommend the steak pie! Good breakfast set us up for the day. We would definitely stay here again
