Guests say
Bishop Cottage receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the proximity to the beach and local amenities, including the on-site restaurant, Kaskane, which is frequently commended for its food and service. The cottage's thoughtful touches, such as welcome gifts, add to the positive experience, although these are not guaranteed for every stay.
The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with numerous reviews highlighting the cleanliness as a standout feature. Only one negative comment regarding a smell of damp slightly impacts the score.
The location is generally well-received for its proximity to the beach and local walks, with good access to nearby towns. However, one review mentioned mobility issues due to uneven roads, and another had difficulty with the provided postcode, slightly lowering the score.
Comfort is frequently mentioned positively, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. There are a few minor complaints about the bed and sofa, which suggest that while most find the cottage comfortable, there is room for improvement.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the wet room and enclosed garden. However, some guests noted missing items like a hairdryer, BBQ, and kitchen utensils, and there were minor maintenance issues like a sticking door handle and wobbly table.
Guests frequently mention welcome gifts, which contribute to a sense of thoughtfulness. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every visitor, the score reflects the positive impact of these gestures while acknowledging their discretionary nature.
About this property
A lovely single-storey terraced cottage in Skinningrove. Cosy, comfortable accommodation, a great base for touring. Note: This property is next to Ref. 2835 and Ref. 3719 and together they can accommodate 11.
The former fishing village of Skinningrove sits on the Cleveland Way, and visitors will find an assortment of engaging cottages and houses plus a variety of shops within its boundaries. It has a sandy beach ideal for children and families, and the area is excellent for fossil hunting amongst the rocks on the foreshore. Skinningrove was also part of the Ironstone mining industry and there is a museum in the area that charts its industrial history. Saltburn is six miles away and has kept much of its Victorian heritage, including the oldest water balanced cliff tramway in Britain, well worth a visit. Skinningrove is an ideal place base to discover the wonderful moorland scenery and the many coastal towns and villages in the area, making it a great holiday base.

Short walk to the beech and walks available from the door. Close enough to drive to Whitby and Saltend and Staithes. Well equipped, could maybe do with a sharper knife, ie paring knife in the kitchen. The milk and the chocolates left in the fridge was a lovely touch. Contact with Mrs Robinson when required was a quick response.
