Our Story
A deep love for the Yorkshire Coast inspired Sandsend Retreats. A few years ago, while driving back from Staithes, we descended the hill into Sandsend and were instantly captivated by its sweeping beach, surf-ready waves, and peaceful seaside charm.
The pretty, pitched-roof cottages, relaxed cafés, and...
…coastal character reminded us of the Hamptons—and sparked the idea of creating a special place for others to experience this unique shoreline.
In 2024, that vision became reality with the opening of Sandsend Retreats: a collection of elegant, self-catering cottages designed with a calming New England-inspired colour palette. Thoughtfully styled and surrounded by nature, our cottages offer the perfect setting for a relaxing North Yorkshire getaway.
As a family-run business supported by a fantastic local team, we take pride in offering a warm welcome, attentive hospitality, and a truly memorable stay. We aim to create a home-from-home where guests can unwind, explore the coast, and enjoy everything that makes Sandsend such a cherished destination.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the beauty, tranquillity, and timeless charm of Sandsend Retreats.
Warm regards,
The Maude Family
