This little cottage is easy walking distance to the beach, there is a little park even closer. Prince cottage is adjacent to the Kaskane restaurant, which serves excellent food. Plenty of parking by the cottage. There is a bus stop adjacent to the car park. The cottage kitchen is basically equipped. the living room is large and comfortable. The bedroom blinds and curtains ensured a good nights sleep in the super comfy bed. We stayed a week walking the Cleveland way, this cottage was a nice place to return to at the end of the day.

A lovely quiet and peaceful retreat.. Superb for walking stretches of the Cleveland Way.

Mr Bates

This cottage and the complex is excellent both for touring the area and it's comforts.. With safe off road parking less than 5 paces from the door. The KasKane restaurant and bar serves excellent food at very reasonable prices, almost as cheap to eat there than have the bother of self catering. The staff are brilliant and your dog is welcome too.

Mr Adsett

Mrs Thomason

July 2018

Lovely little cottage in a court yard setting.. It was very clean and also child and dog friendly. Great location for touring the local area, whilst also within walking distance of a great beach, local cafe and bar called Kaskane, whicj served great food. There is also a lovely children's play area within walking distance. We would definitely look to book again!

Ms Callaghan

June 2018

The cottage was even better than we expected,welcome pack was much appreciated, wine ,chocolate,tea bags, sugar and milk .. Bed and bedding so comfortable , nice sofa to relax on. Food was brilliant (Karkane) and very cheap ,but high quality.Staff could not have been more friendlier and helpful and food served very fast no waiting around.The plus is that it was dog friendly and even provided dog biscuits.Would love to have stayed longer,it is a good base for sightseeing as well as everywhere was in easy distance , Whitby etc

Mrs Ellis

Mr Lewis

May 2018

The holiday started very well with our arrival meal taking place in the Bistro within the cottage complex, very good value for money.. The cottage had everything one could wish for in a short stay holiday and was completely right as a center for visiting the North of Yorkshire.

Mr Mclaughlin

April 2018

Made to feel very welcome, friendly local people

Mr Dunlop

Excellent Kaskane restaurant next door.. Great food, good sized portions, inc,vegetarian good prices, good beer and friendly staff.

Mrs Mann

One of the best holidays regarding cottage and destination.. A lovely place to stay and close to lots of seaside towns there is also a lovely beach at the end of the road only about 5 minutes walk so if you don't want to drive its ideal but take your own picnic as there aren,t many amenities although there is a fish shop and burger shack

Mr Cuthbertson

March 2018

A great location to explore the surrounding area.. A brilliant cottage with staff at Kaskane Cafe/Restaurant a few yards away very helpful and accomodating. The Restaurant serves great food with value for money. Cannot speak highly enough of the accomodation and staff. Would certainly recommend one of the three cottages for a weekend break (as we had) or a longer time.

Mrs Mcnulty

January 2018

Had a lovely time ,nice,clean and warm ,only down side was shower wasn’t hot enough for us ,but it’s probably regulated due to health and safety reasons ,good base for Whitby,Staithes Saltburn and Scarborough,10 min walk to beach , which our dog loved ,nice little chip shop nearby and although we didn’t go in ( as we had our dog with us ) a nice restaurant at the end of the cottages ,and if needed a bus stop right out side just through the gates ,thank you for the wine and chocolates,Sue,Steve and Moose

Mr Fox

November 2017

Good location clean comfortable accommodation with escourted introduction to the cottage by the owner, a nice touch being the hospitality pack of chocolates and two bottles of wine..

Mr Owen

Hidden gem.. The cottage was warm , comfortable and clean . Ideal for dog owners , the picture and the write up of the cottages needs to be updated as we nearly dismissed it as it said communal garden. Actually each cottage has its own fenced garden. Location was amazing , historic and unspoilt village. Thanks for a great weekend.

Ms Ewing

October 2015

Our cottage was lovely and just perfect for the two of us. On the whole is was a lovely cottage done to a high standard and very comfortable.

Mrs Turnbull

September 2014

Cleanliness of the property was first class. Owners very friendly and helpful. This is our third visit and would go again.

Miss West

The cottage was clean and comfortable and they made us feel very welcome.

Mrs Smith

April 2014

The cottage was absolutely spotless, very comfortable and with new/modern furniture. We loved the location and the friendly but unobtrusive welcome. Also the heating system was great and easy to control using the thermostat. There's nothing I could add to improve the cottage. Easter egg, wine and milk, tea and coffee were a thoughtful touch and of course being able to have our dog in the cottage was a key criteria.

Mr Smith

January 2014

We loved the cottage, the area, everyone friendly, central to everything we wanted.

Guest

December 2013

The owners were on site and couldn't have been more obliging. The cottage was very clean,attractive and warm, ideally situated for all kinds of places to visit. Would definitely recommend it.

Met on arrival and everything was explained that we needed to know for our comfort. Very clean and in a lovely quiet location for pleasant walks for us and the dog.

Mr Saddington

November 2013

The holiday cottage was excellent, the situation was ideal for our walking holiday. We were met at the cottage, the owners were friendly, and a guide of the property was given. The locals of Skinningrove are very friendly.

Mrs Yeoman

September 2013

The property was clean and well kept. The owners are friendly and met us on arrival.

keith w

we arranged to stay in this cottage through Sykes cottages and was asked to telephone the owner 48hrs prior to our arrival for the key arrangements and this we did he told my wife to call again 20 mins before we arrived which we did only the call went to voice mail. We arrived and the owner had still not returned our call but as we pulled up in front of the cottage a young woman appeared and gave us the keys. Next door the cottage was occupied by the owners daughter who informed us that they had a flood a few weeks earlier and the main road in and out was blocked off and the only road in and out was up and down a 1 in 4 hill which was in places not wide enough for two cars to pass. This we had found out when we arrived to see the road diversion signs. No one from Sykes cottages had bothered to inform us of the floods. We arrived on a Friday and the weekend passed uneventful but we did notice how damp the cottage felt. The kitchen was very dark and you had to have the light on almost all the time you were in there. The cottage itself was quite nice and we were visiting the surrounding area. Then came Sunday night we were woken by the noise next door as our bedroom backed onto their bathroom and they had a bedroom above their lounge. 6am we were woken again and could not go back to sleep with the noise and at 7.30am eventually got up. The next night and morning was a repeat again we were up at just after 7 am . We were both fed up with the noise so decided to cut short our holiday and go home.

Ms Devaney

July 2013

Great base for exploring local area, good amenities near by, plenty to see and do. The cottage was lovely, in a quiet location. I would go back there again.

Mr McIver

June 2013

The cottage was ideally situated in the village; there were lawns to the front and seating and tables for each cottage and the beach was 10 min walk away which suited our dog he loved it there. The locals in the village are very friendly and there is a good fish and chip shop.

Mrs Parish

April 2013

It is a peaceful location. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. The village itself is full of tradition. A good base to explore the area. We have stayed in a few cottages in this area and this is by far the best. The Leisure Centre at Loftus is good for any exercise needed. The beach at Skinningrove is quiet and peaceful.

Great location near to many areas on the North East coast that we wanted to explore. A tastefully decorated property and well heated which allowed us to relax after long days out walking. Good proximity to many picturesque beaches and coastlines.

March 2013

We stayed here over New Year and really enjoyed our stay. There were plenty of walks to go on and it wasn't far from the beach at all! the Staff were very informative and friendly and if you dont want to take your car,the bus stop is right outside.Our only gripe was the shower :-( it wasnt very powerful and if you were using the washing machine or sink water,then the flow and temperature of the shower was affected. Other than that we would happily stay there again :-) Thank you for a warm and welcoming stay!

Mrs Bullock

January 2013

We had a lovely stay at the cottage and there are some lovely walks in the surrounding area. Close to the sea as well, so our dog loved it! It has all the small touches to make the place more like home from home and we would definitely go again. Our hosts were very friendly and always available if we needed them. We would certainly recommend this to anyone.

Mrs Webster

October 2012

Great location for visiting the amazing coastline. Accommodation was fantastic, very clean and lots of little touches that made it feel like home. Brilliant!

Mrs Tetlow

September 2012

Recommend to anyone.

Mr Roberts

The owners had thought of everything.

Mrs Lawrence

Beautifully kept cottage, covered all needs and more. Clean modern couldn't ask for anything more. We had the bonus of chocolates, wine and milk on arrival, perfect.

lilo29

Original holiday "pulled" from under our feet six weeks before holiday date. Hastily found this little gem. If you`re looking for a quiet,tanqill relaxing break then look no further. What a lovely place to stay. A home away from home with everything you would possibly need inside this delightful converted pit pony stables. 5 minute walk into the village of Skinningrove, a bit further to the beach. Great central place to visit Redcar,Saltburn, Whitby and many other places. A local bus stopped outside the gravelled driveway (although not used by us a very frequent service ) Owners family lived in the cottage next door so always on hand if we needed anything. Large folder on hall stand had brochures,pamphlets for all local attractions plus instructions on how to use all appliances inside the cottage. Liked it so much within 4 days of coming home booked again for next year, a thing we have never done before

Mr Brown

August 2012

When we arrived, we were met straight away. It was fantastic, the place was mega clean, couldn't fault it at all. Everything was just great, will be going back for certain.

Mr Johnson

The location of the cottage and how we felt so welcome.

Mr Mccann

July 2012

Walking into this spotless new-build cottage was like entering a show-home. The decor was beautiful; the furnishings were first class and comfortable; and joy of joys - a 32 inch Freeview TV that you can actually see from 15' away, along with a top of the range HiFi system and DVD player. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, along with a much appreciated washer/dryer, and the welcome pack was an absolute delight and so thoughtful. Day trips that we took included Saltburn by the Sea; Whitby; Robin Hood's Bay; Thornton-le- Dale; Hutton-le-Hole; Helmsley; Rievaulx Abbey; and Guisborough. This whole area of North Yorkshire is an absolute treasure trove for visitors. The hospitality and friendliness of the owners and hosts made us feel right at home, and gave us a week to remember. Sincerest thanks to all of our hosts.

Miss Carlisle

Fantastic location! Fantastic little cottage, excellently furnished and well stocked crockery wise. Couldn't have asked for more! Lovely friendly welcome too.

Mrs Crozier

The cottage was well heated and on a good bus route.

Mrs Sheppard

The village life and proximity to the beach and the many local attractions were wonderful.

Mr Goldberger

The cottage was beautifully presented, very comfortable and very clean - it almost looked like it was new.

Mr Corcoran

Fantastic location and very friendly hosts, the welcome was fantastic. Nice to have somewhere dog friendly!

brian_mccann

This spotless new-build cottage is in the village of Skinningrove, with the Mining Museum a 3 minute walk away, and the beach a leisurely 10 minute stroll down the road. A lot of thought has gone into the decor and the furnishings, and the comfort of the guests, and it shows. The 32" Freeview TV, the high-backed dining chairs, and the washer/dryer in the kitchen tell you that your hosts Geoff & Val have thought of those little things that make your stay so enjoyable. And the "Welcome Pack"? Deliciously thoughtful! This corner of North Yorkshire is a visitor's delight, from the incredible beach at Saltburn-by-the-Sea, to Rievaulx Abbey and Helmsley, to the wonderful Ryedale Folk Museum in Hutton-le-Hole, and the lovely welcoming town of Guisborough. The weather was incredibly kind to us (a high of 27"), and an after-dinner drink sitting outside the cottage watching the sun go down, was the perfect topping to some great days. Geoff & Val, along with Kelly & Steve, and Joanna, made us feel so welcome and at home, we felt almost like part of the family. Many, many thanks to all of them. Any downside? Only one. The cottage was booked the week before and the week after our visit, and sadly we had to return home after only 7 nights!

December 2011

Beautiful,comfortable accomodation that is better than any hotel.Great for visiting the area with the Cleveland Way just 5 mins away. Beaches,towns and moors all accessible. If you dont have a car this is ideal as public transport is readily available ( the bus stops outside).Walking, lazing and touring all in a cottage that is more home than home.The owners provide eveything you need not just the basics. Nice to have a proper freezer and all cleaning materials, not just those previous occupants have left.Would go back in an instant.

October 2011

The cottage was clean and the owners great nothing was too much trouble. A bus stop out side the cottage came evry 15mins. Good beach, local shop was great and helpfull. The local fish and chip shop was the best ever. I would recomend this venue to any one. I think a club house was talked about this would be great.

September 2011

Set in a small village with very friendly locals this cottage had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Although there was a pub within walking distance, it only did food on Sundays. There was nowhere within walking distance to eat out so take provisions for your first night!The welcome bottle of wine and chocolates was an unexpected surprise and very kind. Excellent spot for hikers.

Mr Dahle

August 2011

We had a first class holiday. Thank you.

we had a very enjoyable stay ideal for getting to other locations along the coast very helpful owners clean and comfortable

Mrs Rivers

July 2011

The locals are very friendly and gave a lot of local information on the history of Skinningrove. The beach was empty except at the weekend when lots of hikers were walking the Cleveland Way. A lot of space to walk and a good base for visiting North Yorkshire and Cleveland.

Mrs Steele

May 2011

The friendliness and helpfulness of the owner and his family. This was our second visit and we hope to return next year and perhaps meet up with the other holidaymakers.

very good value, comfortable,with friendly check in , close to the beach easy walk, with plenty to do with the dog.

Mrs Partridge

February 2011

We liked that the cottage was absolutely spotless on arrival, despite the fact that dogs are allowed. It makes an excellent start to the holiday. The fact that we could walk to the beach for daily walkies was a bonus.

Mrs Connor

November 2010

2nd time we've been! Great welcome from owners. Easy base for the surrounding areas. Very quiet, great for relaxing.

Mr Furness

Very welcoming and helpful owners and family. A superb warm cottage for our November holiday. Splendid coastline five minutes walk away. More easily accessible on foot, by car and a surprisingly good bus service (ideal for our long walks). We could not have wished for more.

Mrs Hoole

The cottage was perfect for me as the location is near my family members. The dogs were able to stay with me and that made this property perfect, I will book this again.

Mrs McCartney

Beautifully decorated cottage. Very comfortable chairs and bed etc! Really lovely. Well equipped too. Good value for money. Very friendly and helpful owner. Very interesting historic village (real Yorkshire!) and area. People very friendly. Loved proximity to both moors and beach and coastal path. 'Helmsley Walled Garden' welcomes dogs in garden.

Miss Manners

October 2010

The holiday was brilliant. It was very relaxing, nice and secluded, and everything we needed. Thank you.

Mrs Hunt

The accommodation was 1st class and our dog loved it as much as we did.

Mr Mrs Parker

June 2010

The location and the friendliness of the owners. It is ideal to tour the moors or the coast. There are frequent buses near the property and it is ideal to take advantage of our bus passes.

We really booked this as late as could be,and the help and service we got was very good when booking .Directions etc were ok ,found it and were really surprised at how well we were greeted and looked after ,it was excellent ,the place was very very good and was just the quiet place we were looking for , many thanks to the owners for making us very welcome. If you go down to the bottom of the village walk left along the path to the beach you will get an excellent large lovely empty beach,to us that is all we wanted,not far from the beach at Saltburn by the sea,with its pier and clifftop setting. Lovely large shopping in middlesbourough etc

Don't be put off Skinningrove by the 'Britains Hardest Villages' hype. Despite the menacing graffiti on the jetty we had a good time and the people who own the cottage were very helpful. The cottage was generously laid out for a couple and well equipped, especially in the kitchen. where a lot fall down. Great base for the North York Moors, the coast and the RSPB reserve at Saltholme in Middlesborough. Would definitely visit again.

Mrs Trulock

November 2009

Very cosy, but with all modern amenities. The owners couldn't have been more helpful. Great location for coast and Moors. Very friendly local people.

Mr Kirkwood

Very roomy property for two, you could have spent two weeks in the poor weather there and not felt cramped. Particularly nice to have a kitchen you can actually cook in.

Mrs Cutler

Miss Allistone

Everything supplied was good quality. Linens and towels, kitchen equipment etc. all very nice.The owner's daughter in law and son were extremely helpful. Very friendly and helpful owners and generally the property exceeded our expectations.

Mrs Conway

July 2009

The property was in a small village near a quiet beach. We were very close to larger towns with take aways and shops. There were menu's provided for these in the cottage. When we arrived there was milk in the fridge and tea and coffee were provided which was great. There was also a gift of wine and chocolates, lovely. The family were lovely and helpful but not intrusive at all. The accommodation was very modern and comfortable throughout.

Ms Furnival

June 2009

The welcome we received on arrival and the friendliness of the locals. The caretaker was very obliging and made us feel at home.
