The property has been thoughtfully designed to offer comfortable accommodation. There is a spacious double bedroom, which has been simply but tastefully decorated and furnished. The kitchen is compact and equipped with all ‘mod cons,' and there is also a modern shower room. The sitting room is cosy and inviting with bright and cheery decoration and the dining area is located within this space, making intimate meals cosy and inviting. Outside there is a shared garden area with furniture and a barbecue. This property is well placed as a peaceful holiday retreat from which to explore this rich and diverse area.

Small and comfortable. Enclosed garden good for dogs.Good location even though Skiningrove is a little rundown.(Friendly staff and locals. ) It competes with Staiths/Robinhoods bay/ Runswick bay/Saltburn /Whitby and Marsk by the sea. (All within east drive ) "Had a Good Time this is not a Complaint but is meant to be helpful." But several things listed were not provided. BBQ. Radio/ CD player. A sharp knife /bread knife is needed. I would recommend others to bring the following: Washer no powder/tabs. DVD player no DVDs No salt/Pepper. The grass was long and needed cutting. The picnic bench was in poor order needs painting. KasKane on site restaurant is a must visit . Food very good Family run.

Mr Cuffling
July 2018
Bishops cottage is a lovely well kept place with everything we needed for a pleasant stay.. Unfortunately Skinningrove was not the place for us. If you are into walking then it would be ideal but when you have mobility problems like my wife it's not. She even had problems getting down to the sea front on her mobility scooter due to uneven roads and steep kerbs.
Mr Milne
May 2018
Lounge room light from outside is blocked by outside tree leaving the room dark in the daytime and a little bit strange to be in.. other than that the owners were very helpfull and dealt with any problems immediatly a lovely family who deserve to do well in life though all the hard work they put in.
Mrs Wright

Lovely beach next door to Skinningrove. Excellent restaurant on site with friendly helpful staff and reasonably priced, good food. In all good value for money. Would definitely book again.

The location and situation of Bishop Cottage is perfect and an excellent, homely, comfortable base from which to tour and explore the north east of England. The owners, along with their family and friends involved in running and maintaining the property are some of the nicest, kindest people we have ever met. Nothing is too much trouble, from arrival to departure and the welcome pack is a lovely treat.

A really comfortable cottage, nice and cosy with lovely seating area outside of the cottage. Friendly area too with a post office and shop just a little way into the village great for ice-creams on the way to the beach.

The cottage was superb in every way and the owner was very nice. Setting of cottage lovely, - can honestly say I have never stayed in such a lovely clean cottage, decor and furnishings superb, accommodation was so clean and standard was very high, 5 star all the way, this combined with access to places of interest - brilliant.
Mrs Dawson
May 2014
The cottage is in a lovely quiet village in walking distance to the beach which is quiet and ideal for long dog walks. Dogs are welcome in the local pub and the fish and chips are the best. We found lots of beaches we'd never visited before and all the North Yorkshire Moors villages - all within an easy car drive. Cannot fault the cottage, lots of little extra touches that really make a difference.
Mrs Watt

We loved everything, it was the most relaxing time we have had in a very long time.
Mr Stirling

Excellent presentation of the cottage. The owners could not have been more helpful. The cleanliness of the cottage was exemplary. All in all, this is a cottage to recommend, which I will be doing, and will visit again in the not to distant future.
Mrs Porte
June 2013
This was a fabulous cottage, everything we needed and near to lots of places to visit. Would recommend this area, Saltburn is near as is Robin Hoods Bay and more, beautiful beaches and walks. Bishop Cottage is a dream, had everything we needed and more. Loved the extra touches especially chocolates and wine! We had a really wonderful holiday and even had glorious sunshine all week.

This was the first time myself and my dog stayed at Bishop`s Cottage, Skinningrove, and I was delighted. The cottage was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I love Skinningrove, and I have visited there many times, as I have friends in Loftus. It isn`t the prettiest place, but is unspoilt and it has interesting history. I love the beaches; the people are friendly and I notice that they are trying hard to enhance one or two areas , especially involving local children in `pride of Skinningrove` I definitely will return. Jean Clay.
Mrs Clay

Warm and comfortable. Well equipped. Little extras welcome, i.e. milk, wine, chocs...even a small sewing case! Very friendly and helpful ladies. Left alone and not pestered. Will definitely return.
Mrs Robinson

We stayed at Bishops cottage for one month and we can honestly say it was one of the best months we have had the owners couldn't have done enough for us and couldn't have been nicer .The accommodation was superb and spotless and a lovely time altogether and would recommend it to all.

Mrs Maguire
September 2012
Because of my disability we particularly like the fact that being on one level made life so much easier than a house with an upstairs. The cottage was exceptionally well presented with everything you need to live somewhere. Also very dog friendly the countryside and nearby resorts were really good. Weather sunny everyday was such a welcome bonus.
Mr Watson

Bishop cottage is a new build mews type accomodation, built on the site of what was once the pit ponies stables. When we stayed there in December 2010, only half the complex was finished, but the surroundings were well kept and presentable. The cottage is well furnished, very well heated, and compact. There are nice touches in terms of the furnishings. The property though misses perhaps more seating in the living room, a window in the kitchen, and a safe enclosed garden outdoors for pets and children, all fairly minor admittedly. In terms of location a car is quite frankly an essential, the closest pub wasnt the most presentable, and albeit we visited over Christmas the fish and chip shop was closed, as was the ironstone mining museum. We of course booked self catering but were disappointed with the eating options therefore within walking distance, eating in most nights (there are supermarkets in Saltburn, Staithes, Loftus and Whitby) and enjoying the local fish and chips at lunchtime in Whitby generally! Skinningrove is an honest if unpicturesque former mining town, and that was the main source of its income till the sixties, so dont expect a Staithes, or a Robin hoods bay, the town just doesnt play to its locational strengths in those senses, at times walking around it we did wonder if we were by the seaside or in a durham mining town! it does though have easy access to some beautiful walking to both staithes and Saltburn (both a good couple of hours) Should the venture of the cottage complex take off then Skinningroves location is surely its strongpoint, but some kind of not even touristy but basic facilities are crying out to be built (a seafront cafe, a rehash of the towns only pub) In summary a nice cottage, but locationally with limitations if one expects evening entertainment.
Mr Abbott

No room for breakfast bar in kitchen - it was a table and four chairs in lounge area instead which was much better! Yet another great Sykes' holiday!

A wonderful complex situated on the quiet side of the village. The cottage was clean and well designed. The surronding area is beautifull and the adjacent iron mine is a must visit place. Down side is that there is not a decent pub within walking distance.
Guest
September 2010
We would gladly recomment this cottage to anyone. It cottage was superbly clean and comfortable, with many added extras on arrival. Our dog was very welcome, and the short walk to the dog friendly beach was completed twice a day much to the delight of the dog, who loves beaches. We will certainly be visiting one of Sykes Cottages again in the near future.
