This former fishing village is on the Cleveland Way, and visitors will find a collection of interesting houses and a good variety of shops and a beautiful sandy beach within its boundaries. As well as being a fishing village, Skinningrove was part of the Ironstone Mining Industry and there is a museum in the area that charts the history of this industry. Saltburn is just six miles away and has retained much of its Victorian charm, including the pier, colourful Italian Gardens and the oldest water balanced cliff tramway in Britain, well worth a visit. Skinningrove is ideally placed as a base to explore the dramatic scenery of the moors and the many coastal towns and villages in the area, making it a great holiday base.
Reviews
"Any complaints will appear beyond trivial, from arriving to leaving an excellent place to stay and use as a base to explore the wider area. 12 of us and 4 dogs really enjoyed our week long stay here, so much space, everything you need for a self catering break, 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, comfy beds, excellent hot tub and sauna (cleaned every day), plenty of parking, secure garden area for the dogs. If i had one very minor complaint, i would suggest doubling or even trebling the amount of Recycling dustbins, will filled one after 3 days :). WiFi excellent, giant TV to watch the Rugby on, and a huge kitchen table for sitting round (Doubles as a snooker/pool table apparantly, but too many Bottles on it to check). Owner (and family) very friendly, both on arrival and leaving, apart from cleaning the hot tub, never saw them during the week, nor needed to."
"I have recently returned from my sisters hen weekend at The Powerhouse. What an amazing time we had. The house was stunning from the outside. The hot tub room and sauna were fabulous. There is lights in the hottub and hot tub room itself. There is a built in speaker within the room which can be plugged in by aux cable. The rooms were fab with plenty of bathrooms. Towels provided for showering. Complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits provided and other helpful things such as dish washer tablets. There was 2 cookers and 2 fridgefreezers which helped to keep our alcohol and food cool. We used one for food and one for alcohol. The hottub was checked each day and topped up. Small little down points. Big bath tubing is loose so the bath leaked. One toilet roll provided for whole house, luckily we bought some. And the bbq wasn't cleaned and put back together. These were minor and did not stop me rating it 5 stars."
"Just got back yesterday 22nd January, what a fabulous weekend we all had 16 of us and a dog. The house is beautiful couldn't ask for anything better, there was 7 kid's and they were no bother at all kept busy with the hot tub and pool table. Would recommend the power house and we will definitely be going back thank you."
"Stayed here for a week to welcome in the new year with family and friends. There were 17 of us in total ranging from 12 months to 56 years old! Every single one of us had a blast, lots to do around the house with the games supplied, hot tub and sauna, Netflix and the pool/snooker table. The owners were very helpful and it's a straight road, 30 minute drive to whitby so perfectly located. Myself and my partner stayed in the double room with en suite At the end of the long corridor and on three separate nights there was a strong smell of burning matches but we couldn't find anyone burning them which was very odd but the house is so welcoming and cosy. The beds are super comfy and two fridges are perfect for storing the food and alcohol separate! I can't recommend this place highly enough, if you're a large group looking for a get away then I highly recommend you try the power house!"
"17 girls stopped at the powerhouse to celebrate my 60th birthday. We had an amazing time. The house is excellent plenty of room for us all. We had great times in the hot tub and sauna. There is a local pub just round corner that sell lovely food. We will definitely be going back. "
"Amazing property, fabulous hot tub. Just spent a fantastic weekend here for a hen party it had everything we needed Would recommend this property to anyone looking to book for a group. Would definitely use here again"
"First impressions was of a beautiful we?l presented large house . Lots of rooms for the 9 of us that visited (included 2 infants who were supplied with cots,high chairs and walkers) however the house would benefit from some repairs that would make it even more impressive. We noticed broken toilet roll holders, toilet seats that didn't fit, broken curtain tie backs etc. A deep clean of some area would also improve the experience. However we had a great break and the owners couldn't have been more helpful."
"We booked a 3 night stay at the Power House as part of my mums 60th birthday celebrations. There were 11of us including 2 under 3's and 2 16 year olds. Each and every one of us had a blast! The house was immaculate, it's spacious but warm and cosy. We definitely felt it was a home away from home. There were 2 fully equipped kitchens and 2 living rooms with everything we needed. We also had tea, coffee and biscuits waiting for us on arrival. We were also given a full tour of the house and instructions on how everything worked upon arrival. The hot tub and sauna were the icing on the cake and we made the most of the facilities every night! We took a trip to Skinningrove beach, which was a short drive away and the kids absolutely loved it. The following day we went to Whitby which was also lovely and only about 30 minutes away. We had a truly wonderful time and the venue is suitable for any sort of break with family or friends. I would definitely book again for a girls getaway in the future. "
"Wow! Just spent 3 wonderful nights at the powerhouse...we only live locally too!!! ...to celebrate a friend's birthday...there were 14 of us adequately housed ...it was amazing and found time to take a walk visit local amenities. Would definitely recommend the powerhouse for partying...we will be back. Xx"
"We had my hen do at the Powerhouse last weekend and then stayed on for the week. It is the perfect place to relax in the hot tub & have fun. I have never had such a relaxing holiday. The photos do not do it justice! It is amazing. The staircase when you enter is just breathtaking. The beds were realkly compfy and the place was clean and had everything you need. There is plenty in the house to keep you occupied, like board games, snooker table, DVD's, books and plenty of old school CD's! Skinningrove has got a beautiful beach, perfect for the doggies. It is an easy drive to Whitby but far enough to not have all the hustle & bustle. There is a great friendly little pub just next door and a little chippy 5 minutes walk away (you need to try the whitby scampy!) The owners of the Powerhouse are lovely. I would recommend the powerhouse and we will be back!"
"We found the house more than suitable for our needs, good location easy to get around with a car, excellent eating place next door virtually, the mining museum excellent too, are certainly going back."
"Stayed here for a hen weekend in June. It was fantastic. The house is so grand, everyone was so impressed. Clean towels and linen provided. We thought it was all very clean and tidy. The hot tub in the summer house was amazing, mood lighting and music too. Very good location, it was easy to find and in a lovely village. I would definitely recommend this and would stay again. "
"The powerhouse is very impressive from the outside, unfortunately the inside is not so good Some of the kitchen pans needed cleaning before use plus one of the ovens didn't seem to be working properly although it was handy having two kitchens. The utility room had a smell no idea why. The shower curtain in the jack and Jill room needed replacing plus the main bathroom needed a deep clean. Several smaller things needed attention On the plus side the hot tub was excellent and very clean. The owner was very pleasant. With a deep clean throughout the property could be very good"
"Good lay out inside for what we wanted. Bed linen and towels clean. Hot tub which is quite new very clean and made the stay more enjoyable.All bathrooms,shower cubicles and toilets need a deep clean with bleach as does floor in main bathroom. One of the shower curtains needed replacing. There was a smell in the main bathroom and utility(possilbly foist or damp).DIY needed on minor faults. ie curtain tieback hooks,window latch broken and hanging hooks.The baking tins in cookers needed to be cleaned before use."
