• "Bishop cottage was beautiful, comfortable and warm, we loved the personal touch, there were some lovely pieces adorning the cottage to make it homely."

  The wet room was great for my husband who has mobility problems. We met the owner while we were there lovely lady and the welcome gift of Wine and chocolates was much appreciated. The food at the pub ( Kaskane ) close by was absolutely delicious, the staff are amazing never met such a friendly bunch before nothing was to much trouble. Would recommend this cottage 100 %. Thankyou for letting us stay there.

• "I have stayed in Bishop Cottage around 5 times now and I always love it."

  The cottage is always clean and tidy. It’s very cosy as well. I also like the fact that it’s secure outside for my dogs. It’s well situated for the beautiful beach and surrounding areas. The owners and people around are always warm and friendly as well. Would highly recommend, can’t wait for my next visit.

• "The tv kept going blank as Freesat kept saying no signal, also the beds a bit hard, other than that I think it’s really good value for money, and I highly recommend the Kaskane cafe for English food, much better than value for money."

  The food is excellent and the best fish and chips anywhere, love it thanks I’ve been about 6 times now, lovely

  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

• "Lovely warm cottage, very comfortable, heating easy to use and we loved the shower."

  we would highly recommend the cottage as a base. Good location, we used the local bus service, seemed daft to use the car for £2 one way each. The one and only suggestion is the knife used for cutting, it needs sharpening , very blunt. Loved the food in Kaskade, all home cooked and the staff helpful and friendly. It was a lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our stay.

  Lovely comfortable bed and furniture. Really loved the wet room and the decor was so nice in the cottage . Ample parking and safe for our dog. The tree outside the lounge is beautiful. (One small niggle- no hairdryer! Never had that problem in a Sykes cottage before). The listing mentioned a BBQ but we couldn't find it. Enjoyed visiting Kaskane- good food and friendly staff!

• "We stayed in Bishop cottage last year so we knew what to expect."

  The cottage was very clean and there were lovely white towels provided. I have marked comfort down because of the bed; the mattress is lumpy and should either be replaced or provided with a thick topper. Also, the frying pan is no longer non-stick and not big enough to cook breakfast for two. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay and may well return. We had a lovely meal at the on-site KasKane; fish, chips and mushy peas, the batter was light and crispy, just right. However, it is mainly an eatery and a shame that you can’t just go in for a drink, you have to sit outside, which is fine if the weather is good but not so if inclement. I think an information sheet on recycling would be useful or stickers on the outside bins telling you what goes in which bin because not all councils operate the same colour coding system. Finally I would like to say thank you for the milk and chocolates, they were much appreciated and a nice touch!

  The bed frame was a little hard in middle as it’s two box sections put together a new bed frame would put that right, but other than that it was most perfect place everything you needed for your stay was in the cottage, it was in an ideal place to travel to Whitby Scarborough Saltburn by the sea, Redcar, the food in the pub on the site was 10/10 and good prices locals and all staff were so friendly, will definitely book again loved it

  Lovely and clean and the pint of milk was appreciated We did find the bed uncomfortable due to feeling the springs through the mattress and think a new mattress would be better for others in the future Definitely need a chest of drawers in place of the chair by the wardrobe as we had to live out of our suitcases Something not as big but it would have been great to have a bread knife in the kitchen

• "I have had a wonderful holiday at Bishops Cottage, it was perfect."

  I would throughly recommend Bishops Cottage as a holiday destination. Everything you need is available, it's well appointed, very comphy, nice & clean, lovely and warm. The local beach is a 10 minute walk, well worth a visit. There are plenty of walks available, you will need a head for heights if you tackle the cliff tops! The location is perfect for exploring the coast, and easy access to the North York Moors. Kaskane do wonderful food, lovely tobe able to take my dog with me for tea. Staff are very efficient and easy to approach.

• "Overall, very happy with the cottage."

  We had a problem with the heating but within minutes of ringing the number provided it was sorted. Someone had felt the need to leave a note about how to operate the tv but despite our best efforts we could only get a very limited number of channels. I know we could have rung for help with it but, to be honest, we didn’t watch enough tv to warrant it. The nearby restaurant/bar is really just a restaurant and unless you book a table for a meal you can’t sit inside and get a drink. We did sit outside in the late afternoon sunshine and have a drink but it was too cold at night. As there were no other pubs within easy walking distance it was disappointing. Having said all that, we are planning a repeat visit next spring!

• "Clean, comfortable & equipped for our needs."

  (However as has been pointed out in previous reviews there is no breakfast bar to seat 4 in the kitchen & the shower is a wet room - photo & description should be updated). Weather was good, only 1 wet day. Able to do plenty of coastal & moorland walking & the frequent bus service enabled us to do linear walks. Our disappointment was the fact that the 1 bed-roomed cottage next door, although the same size as ours allowed up to 4 dogs (ours was only allowed 1). We could hear the 4 dogs next door barking through the partition wall. It was particularly annoying when they were let out into their garden area & were barking at 3am/4am & again at 6.30am. Didn't appreciate the broken sleep & early wake-up calls during our holiday.

  So much so that the amount of bleach everywhere got on my clothes and ruined an irreplaceable £65 top. If you love the peace and quiet then this is the place to go. Nothing really in the area and the Kaskane bar required you to book even just for a drink which was disappointing. The beach is lovely and perfect for dogs. The cottage was warm and cosy but the sofa was uncomfortable due to the sofa bed. The shower is a wet room and water gets everywhere. Ideally situated if you don’t mind driving everywhere.

  The garden is enclosed, not communal, which suited us and our dog, the shower is not as shown in the listing either, it is a wet room so care needs to be taken as water goes everywhere, the shower itself was ok. There is no sofa bed as listed and no radio /cd player. It’s a nice little cottage for two plus dog and a good base for touring the area. Food in the restaurant was good and very reasonably priced, staff very lovely and helpful.

• "The cottage was as described and was comfortable but it was lacking in the kitchen area, only three teaspoons in a cottage meant for three and only four mugs."

  A Pyrex baking dish in the cupboard was covered in baked on fat, saucepans needed to be washed before use. Overall cleanliness could have been better, there were mucky corners on windowsills and in corner by front door. We did have a good week but a a few more mugs and spoons would have been nice and no mucky corners or dirty dishes. We had a Skyes cottage two years ago and it was top class so we did expect it to be better equipped and cleaner. However we will use Skyes again because if people don’t inform you of these things you won’t know and these things could easily be put right
