Stepping inside, local artwork adorns the walls, and the interior is tastefully decorated with a nautical theme. Dating back to the 1880’s this is a characterful old miners’ cottage.

Here you are in the perfect location to enjoy the great outdoors. The village of Skinningrove is undiscovered by most tourists and is peaceful all year round. It is a quaint little bay, with neighbouring Cattersty Sands just a short walk away. This is the perfect choice for those looking for a tranquil beach holiday away from the crowds. The village is mostly inhabited by locals, with a little café, a village shop as well as a fish n’ chip shop. For those who love the coast, there are some wonderful beaches nearby to discover, either on foot along the Cleveland Way, which is a walking trail along the cliff tops, or by car.
Saltburn is a surfers’ paradise, with an iconic pier and trendy bars and restaurants. Staithes has undeniable charm; this village huddles around the shoreline, with fishing boats sailing out from the harbour. Runswick Bay is gorgeous, with sweeping golden sand, perfect for a scenic stroll taking in the fresh sea breeze, and Whitby is just a 30-minute drive away. This seafaring town has a fascinating history, with the abbey overlooking the cobbled streets, independent shops and quirky cafés. Visit the museums, ride a boat out of the harbour or simply take in the sights and enjoy award-winning fish n’ chips.
The North York Moors National Park is also on the doorstep, with ancient forests, miles of heather-clad hills and valleys, and lovely villages and walking trails. The many local events include Staithes’ art festival, Saltburn’s food festival, and Whitby’s regatta as well as the famous Goth Weekend. The big event on Skinningrove’s calendar is bonfire night in November, when residents build a huge wooden sculpture on the seafront, which is set alight after a spectacular firework show. Each season has its highlights, from impressive waves crashing on the beach in winter, spring wildflowers on woodland walks, glorious sunny summer days on the beach, or purple moorland as the heather bursts into bloom, then taking in the autumnal colours before warming up beside a crackling fire in a choice of cosy country pubs.

Arcadian is certainly a little Gem. A lovely 2 up 2 down house which is wonderfully equipped for a great stay. All the rooms are comfortable and cozy, the log burner was fantastic and actually got a bit too warm. The bed was comfortable and we slept really well. We can't fault Arcadian, it's ideally situated for use as a base for traveling and exploring the East coast. We would definitely come back. Although the weather for our stay wasn't great we thoroughly enjoyed it. A lovely well appointed, furnished house which was as clean as a whistle. Thank you very much. 5 stars without a doubt.

Arcadian was a little gem of a cottage. Perfect for 2 and a dog. The cottage was cosy and warm with or without the coal/wood fire although I recommend slippers as the floor is tiled so a little cold underfoot. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fantastic shower, hot water and big pristine towels. The bed and bed linen were perfection. Skinningrove beach is not far at all on foot but we ventured out in the car most days to take advantage of Staithes, Runswick Bay and Saltburn. Fossils galore! Overall a truly wonderful stay the only disappointment was that I hadn't booked a week. We will be back!
