5 Stone Row was new to the holiday cottage rental market in August 2021 following a complete renovation. The 1840’s traditional sandstone terraced cottage offers a quiet enclosed garden and sleeps four in two bedrooms. Located in the sleepy coastal village of Skiningrove, near Saltburn-by-the-Sea and just north of the popular tourist towns of Staithes and Whitby and the beauty of the North Yorkshi
re Moors. About the village
With an industrial history, today Skiningrove is primarily residential with a scattering of holiday cottages. Despite the fantastic sandy beach and small active harbour for hobby fisherman, the village is somewhat yet undiscovered by the North Yorkshire tourist trade. This enables 5 Stone Row visitors to escape for a peaceful holiday by the coast, without the crowds of the nearby bustling resorts of Whitby or Staithes. The village is also popular with walkers, as it is located directly on the Cleveland Way footpath. Take the opportunity to climb up to enjoy stunning coastal views within minutes of the cottage’s front door. There is a fish and chip shop (limited opening hours), a community centre and general shop (limited opening hours) and post office. About the Holiday Cottage

According to Wikipedia… The village had an agricultural and fishing economy until the opening of local ironstone workings in 1848 initiated an industrialisation boom. A railway was built by 1865, and iron smelting began in 1874. A jetty on the coast built in 1880 allowed seagoing vessels to carry heavy cargoes from the area. Mining continued until 1958 and primary iron production until the 1970s. The Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum (formerly the Tom Leonard Mining Museum) describes the village's mining heritage, providing a unique underground experience and an insight into how 6.2 million tons of ironstone was extracted from Skinningrove. The village has a large natural sand beach used for recreational fishing and a beck.
