Prince Cottage, Skinningrove

These cottages are fanastic,spotless,comfy and perfectly situated very close to the beach.the onsite cafe come restaurant food is very good and low cost and also allow dogs in.the cottage was very warm for winter and quite large.thanks for a wonderful holiday and will return.

We stayed here last minute as our holiday to Wales was locked down . Anyway we lucked out because we love the area great walks either on the coast or Yorkshire dales. The cottage is very clean and comfortable with everything you need. The adjacent cafe serves great food and alcohol at very reasonable prices,without having to drive back...bonus . Our dogs were safe and secure in the little garden . We will definitely return

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.

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.

Had a lovely stay here and will definitely go back. The dog loved it too. It had excellent facilities and was in a good location. Have recommended to family and friends.

Pleasant and peaceful stay. Cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Owners very friendly and on site. Club house very welcoming and serves lovely food at extremely reasonable prices. We will return.

Immaculate cottage in a great location. Would definitely return.

Lovely peaceful location. Well presented cottage with friendly bar on site.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Nice quiet location, no traffic noise. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise.

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.

The owners had thought of everything.

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

Recommend to anyone.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

We had a first class holiday. Thank you.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Central for the North East coast. Highly recommend Prince Cottage. Owner and family friendly and helpful.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The location was brilliant. Excellent beach.

Good location. An excellent cottage with fantastic amenities.

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.

The cottage is lovely and very well appointed with very pleasant people to look after you.Its location was spot on for the area ie not far from anything.The weather held and made it even more enjoyable with lots of walks direct from the cottage with wide variety.

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.

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

Very helpful friendly owners. Cottage excellent, will go again!

The cottage was very clean and well fitted. They love dogs and it would be an ideal place for dog owners to stay. Thoroughly recommended!

Everything excellent, very friendly people. Very quiet, was nice to sit on the patio.

The owners were friendly as were the people in the area. We found things to do every day of the holiday. The Cottage was warm and inviting. We found the Cleveland way easy to reach with beautiful scenery. I will recommend friends or relatives to Prince Cottage for a holiday.

The property was lovely, comfortable and in a perfect location. Tastefully decorated and furnished. I would recommend this property and area to any one. Thank you!
