  • "The only thing I can criticise comes down to personal preference - the arm chairs in the living room aren't the most comfortable for long periods of time, if you wanted to sit down and watch a film in an evening for example, so we would have preferred maybe a 2 seater sofa."

    Also the pillows on the bed were very firm, so if we were to stay here again I'd bring my own, softer pillows. Other than that, everything else about our stay was perfect.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay."

    The property was very clean and well equipped, with plenty of room for two. We particularly enjoyed the decor of the bedroom and the spaciousness of the bathroom. Skipsea is conveniently situated on this stretch of coast for trips south to Hornsea and Beverley and north to Bridlington, Flamborough and Filey. We also found a warm welcome at The Board pub across the road, which served decent basic grub.

About the location

SKIPSEA

Hornsea 6 miles; Bridlington 9 miles; Driffield 11 miles; Beverley 15 miles.

The village of Skipsea is situated in the Yorkshire Wolds, in a typically rural setting surrounded by rich, agricultural land, yet Skipsea also sits within one mile of the beach and is close to the cliffs of the North Sea. The village has its own Post Office and general store, a hairdresser’s and a pub. Many of the houses in the village, both old and new, use cobbles from the sea shore in the building. Just outside the village are the remains of Skipsea Castle. The surrounding countryside is excellent for walking and cycling, whilst the nearby seaside towns of Bridlington and Filey boast long sandy beaches and numerous resort attractions. The Deep Submarium at Hull, Sledmere House and Burton Constable Hall are within 20 miles, whilst the shops, cathedral and museum of historic York, the resort town of Scarborough and the North Yorks Moors Steam Railway at Pickering are within an hour’s drive, and Whitby is just a little further, making Skipsea a superb base for a relaxing holiday.
