Set in the picture‑postcard harbour village of Staithes, The Captain Cook Inn is a substantial, long‑established nine‑bedroom inn with bar, restaurant and a 3‑bed owners’ house. The ground floor dining areas seat up to 100 guests, supported by a well‑equipped commercial kitchen with a 5‑star hygiene rating. Many letting rooms enjoy sea or moor views and are presented to a high standard.
The site includes 13 off‑street parking spaces, a beer garden, owners’ garden and a static caravan currently let for extra income. Built before 1900, the mid‑terrace property retains period character, high ceilings and large windows, and sits within the North York Moors National Park — a strong draw for tourists. Online ratings are excellent (approximately 4.5/5), underpinning the business’s good local reputation and steady visitor demand.
Important practical points: the building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, double glazing of unknown age and an Energy Rating C. There is a medium flooding risk and the wider area shows indicators of deprivation and seasonality, so trading is heavily tourism‑linked. This freehold offers immediate trading potential for hospitality operators but will need ongoing maintenance and targeted investment to maximise year‑round returns.
