There was plenty of room for 11 adults in the property and it was in a good location.
An amazing property, the photos don't do it justice. The rooms were clean and had lovely bed linen, towels were provided. The kitchen(s) were perfect, fully fitted with appliances and utensils. The living spaces were ideal for our group, there were plenty of sofas. Everything was simply catered for. Some of my group are looking to re book for their personal use at a later date. Highly recommended.
Loved the summer house with the hot tub and loved the house itself. Considering how many people it can hold it was quiet and there's enough space.
Loved the size of the property, we were a party of 12 and there was enough bedrooms for all our party, this gave everyone their own space. The hot tub and pool table were the real selling point to my using of the property, because Skinningrove is such a small area it meant our party could spend time together.
We found the holiday amazing and had the best time so really happy. I have recommended to friends and shown pictures and would definitely book again in a shot. The Kaskane cafe/bar was brilliant being so close too - perfect! We were blessed with weather also as an added bonus so the walk to the beach worked well too.
Everyone really enjoyed the generous space this property offered. The two sitting rooms were particularly useful. As we did our own catering, the two kitchens provided all the facilities we needed to prepare all our meals. This was a family gathering to celebrate our ruby wedding and we took some group photos on the lovely feature staircase. We wouldn't hesitate to come back .
We had an amazing stay at The Power House. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and be comfortable. The hot tub was also a boon and enjoyed by all. We were able to host a wonderful and memorable 80th birthday dinner for my father-in-law, and cooked a banquet for twenty-two in the two well equipped kitchens. A day that will be cherished for many years. We loved it even in December, and would love to come again in the summer too, to make use of the great looking BBQ area.Thank you for providing the space to have a great, big family get-together!
A very spacious House ideal for a large family group like ours. The hot tub was scrupulously clean and checked regularly by the owner who was very pleasant and helpful.
The Power House is a beautiful house the pictures on the website don't do it justice. The house is well equipped and very clean, the hot tub is lovely. We went as a large family group and everyone thought the place was fabulous, the location is a good base to discover North Yorkshire. I would recommend the Power House to family and friends.
A large house with beautiful décor, perfect for our party.
A brilliant property for the occasion (a 50th birthday), flexible sleeping and good size lounges to enable everyone to get together but also to have some space when needed. House is beautiful, spacious and unique, a real pleasure to be able to spend a week there. Lots of bathrooms too made life much easier! Pet friendly too was a real bonus and made the holiday with friends and family complete.
The Power House is an amazing place for a large family to have a break, there is loads of room so you can have alone time if wanted. The hot tub amazing.
We had an amazing time, The Power House was faultless and the village it is in was pleasant and friendly. There is a pub/restaurant virtually next door that is very friendly, serves lovely meals and welcomes children and dogs. The Power House itself is an amazing place to stay, it has plenty of room for family's to spend a holiday together without been under each others feet, it has everything you could possibly need and more. It is beautiful to look at and is in a nice quiet location and its own grounds are private, ideal if you want to have a BBQ. All in all I couldn't find fault in the place and would and have recommended it to my family and friends.
This was our 2nd visit to The Power House and it did not disappoint. An excellent stay, we had a lovely 3 days and I cannot fault the place, it has everything for a fantastic family break. The facilities were top notch, there isn't one thing to complain about, only the the fact that we had to come home. Looking forward to booking this property again, it is excellent for large groups or families.
Spacious accommodation, quiet location and a fully enclosed, safe garden for our dogs. The owner was friendly and helpful.
The whole Power House experience was brilliant! There was plenty of room for all of us, with a beautifully presented house that suited our needs excellently.
The Power House was ideal for our large family, with 2 fully fitted kitchens making catering and clearing up easy.
The facilities included were perfect with all the comforts from home. We prepared family meals every day with ease. The kitchens were great and having a full size fridge/freezer helped as we were able to do a "big shop" for the week. The House was luxurious and large enough for us all to have our own space if we wanted it and the cosy lounges were great for us all to spend time together too. Best of both worlds! We were within walking distance of the sandy beach which the dogs loved and a lovely coffee shop/cafe/bar 2 minutes away (dog friendly).
It was a lovely big house, well suited for our party of 12. The table which turned into a snooker table was an excellent idea! It was nice having the choice of two rooms to sit in. There was also ample private parking for all our vehicles.
The Power House was the perfect size for our family holiday. We booked it for my Dads 50th as a surprise and it exceeded all expectations. Everybody had their own space and the sitting rooms were more than big enough for us all to enjoy a few drinks together. The pool table was a hit with the kids and the grown ups!
Excellent accomodation and facilites - Great place to meet up with Friends/Family
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.
Amazing amazing amazing.
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.
Absolutely fabulous
What an amazing place. We stayed here with family for a week to celebrate my husbands 70th bday. Everyone had a great time. Our dogs had a great time too, very dog friendly.
Mum's 60th birthday weekend
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.
Beautiful house, perfect for relaxation and party!
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!
Excellent
Our party of 16 friends and family stayed here for a long weekend in early January and had an amazing time. There are three birthdays in the group within three days so we always go away that same weekend. The age ranges were 14 to 73. The house was ideal, with lots of living space so we didn't feel on top of each other at all. The house is very clean, is beautifully decorated and the furniture is all to a very high standard. The house was lovely and warm all the time. The house is perfect for a large friends/family get-together. There are two large bedrooms with four poster beds which are en-suite. There is one double bedroom with two twin beds on a mezzanine floor. There is one treble bedroom and two further rooms with twin beds, one of which is en-suite. There is one shower room and toilet on the ground floor and a further bathroom on the second floor. The beds are really comfy and the bed linen was all really clean and good quality. We never struggled for hot water even though all five showers were running at the same time on the Saturday morning. There are two fully equipped kitchens with three large dining tables, one of which is also a snooker table. We cooked a Christmas dinner for all 16 adults on the Sunday and didnt struggle for oven space or roasting tins and pans etc. We had brought three slow cookers for the Saturday night but there were two large ones in the house anyway. Theres are two large fridge-freezers (we used one for food and one for beer) and two dishwashers. There are two lounge areas, both really comfortable. Both have large TVS one of which is fitted with Netflix so we used that one more than the other room. Outside there is a separate building with a large hot tub and a small sauna. The house is in a good quiet location, there is a restaurant (KasKane) within 2 minutes walk that service excellent food and reasonable prices. We had a fabulous time and will definitely look to book again!!!
60th birthday bash!
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.
fantastic place for a hen party
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
Mrs
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.
Miss
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.
Birthday celebrations
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
The Perfect Weekend
We have just arrived home today after a fantastic couple of days at the Power House. We were a group of 13 for a hen party - we typically aren't a fan traipsing round the city with various hen do miscellany so hiring a cottage for the weekend was the perfect alternative. The house is stocked well - tea coffee and a packet of biscuits on arrival was a nice touch. The beds were very comfy (at least mine was, and judging by some of the lie-ins the rest of the group had, they can't have been half bad 🙂 ) The house is lovely - plenty of room for everyone and plenty of bathrooms and showers etc, so no queuing for facilities. Two kitchens helped the breakfast prep no end!! We also wanted to spend time as a group, and there was plenty of space around the kitchen table / snooker table. There is a large Asda about a 10 min drive away from the Power House, so easy to get the essentials in. We went into Saltburn for the day on Saturday - a minibus for the group was £20 each way which was extremely reasonable. Saltburn was great though we did spend the majority of our time in the lovely Vista Mar..... Definitely get some fish and chips from the Seaview, Delicious! Ah and yes - the hot tub. Lots of fun, it is very funky with the multi-coloured lights and the music system, really does add something to the party!! Bring your flip flops as the floor does get a bit slippy... Great weekend, one which us girls will be talking about for a while!! Thank you!!
Fantastic place! Perfect
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!
Loved it
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.
Excellent house
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.
Disappointed
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
impressive from outside not so much inside
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.
