  • "Delightful property, all was just as shown in picture gallery."

    Location is perfect. Kitchen has everything you would need during a stay. Everywhere is spacious and caters for a full house of 9. Host was very responsive, Couldn’t fault a thing and we will definitely be returning.

  • "Quayside house is in a fantastic location for the beach, harbour, castle, local shops, dining options and entertainment."

    The house is roomy and gave lots of space for 4 adults and two children. The kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are all comfy. The quiet space at the back of the house to sit out in the sunshine was lovely. We all slept well in the comfy beds with lots of storage for our clothes and luggage. The car parking space in front of the house is a god send as parking in Scarborough can be difficult at busy times. There is a shop 10 seconds from the house selling essentials which was really useful and the nearest pub is the same distance, we didnt use it so cant comment on quality. More bars, cafés and ice cream are available just a few more steps away. We stayed local, but highly recommend RSPB Bempton, especially between May and July when the puffins are nesting. The castle had a great pirates event and the castle is free to visit for English Herritage members. Whitby is accessible by bus if you want to avoid driving as is Robinhoods bay. Falling Foss is a beautiful location for a walk and a treat at the cafe and Goathland is a short drive away to see where Harry Potter was filmed, see the steam trains and venture into the village to see where Heartbeat was filmed. You can go and see the Naval Warfare in Peasholm Park, swim at Alpamare or relax with a walk in the Italian gardens on the esplanade. With all this to do and a beautiful well equipped base to do it from, what's not to love? We can't wait to return!

  • "We had a fabulous holiday at Quayside house."

    The house is beautiful with lots of personal touches, and everything we needed for a home from home break. It’s in a perfect location, close to everything and after doing a big shop we didn’t use the car again all week. Yvonne is a great host and left us a lovely welcome hamper, which was very much appreciated. We are all more than happy to recommend this property to anyone looking for a home from home break, and hope to return in the future.

    Want the pub ????? You can see it from the living room window. Want the Harbor ????? You can see the ships masts from the living room window. Thats how close the property is to everything. Contact with the owner was flawless, and we were made to feel very welcome. The house is a credit to its owner, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Scarborough.

    It really is the perfect place to stay in Scarborough - a warm, welcoming owner, a beautiful cottage, parking space, perfectly placed close to the beach, harbour, castle & shops. I mentioned our stay was to celebrate our son’s birthday and there was a birthday cake waiting for him, amongst other goodies, when we arrived- it made his day! Thank you so much, we had a fantastic time. The lovely weather was an added bonus too!

    The house is spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed. When we arrived there was a hamper waiting for us with the essentials which was a really nice and welcome gesture. The location of the house is incredible. You would be hard pressed to find a more central and convenient location. The house is one minute away from the shops and restaurants on the front. Considering how close we were to the front it was not noisy at all. Wonderful place to stay hopefully we will be back soon.

    The only small thing that I could find fault with was the back double bed, which needed a soft mattress topper. Having rented holiday accommodation for many years in many different parts of Britain, I would rate this as the best of them all.

  • "House was lovely, really well fitted out plenty of room for you to not feel ontop of each other."

    We have a few teething troubles becuse the house had been shut away so long because of covid restrictions and they sorted them out fast and afficiently. Loved the games room, parking is tight so if you have a big car i would suggest getting the parking permit. The house is ideally situated to get to the harbour and beach and there is a one stop just a few steps away, its an absolute perfect location, its so near yet out of the way. Perfect holiday thanks for a lovely stay.

  • "Ideally situated for South Bay."

    Lovely house with all you could need. 3 generations stayed for a week, comfortable big beds, big bedrooms and we borrowed the travel cot and highchair. Owner was very helpful and we had a lovely welcome pack. The 2 front bedrooms might be a little noisy for light sleepers as the businesses in front do have to use noise trolleys for a short time first thing but only one person in our group heard them. The parking space was a little tight for our nissan qashqai but we squeezed in. Parking permit for A2 area given for the week was a bonus. Back courtyard was useful to dry beach towels and a nice surprise as no photos on here. Games room went down a treat and the lounge had comfy sofas. The house has constant warm water and was very warm. The only thing I would suggest is a slightly higher table and comfy chairs in kitchen, all men in our party were 6 foot or over and struggled to sit under the table, but we did eat out mostly so not major problem to us. Used cushions on chairs to help. Wi-Fi was a little hit and miss too, but unless you have teens that's not an issue. Us oldies can survive without that. We would stay here again if we came back to the South bay.

  • "Perfect seaside holiday cottage with very helpful and accommodating owners."

    Location was so convenient but beware the parking arrangements. Read the small print on which parking areas are covered by the permits if you want to avoid a ticket!! This had been explained, so not the holiday cottage owners fault just the over-excited holiday makers mistake! Fascinating time watching the crabs and lobsters being landed on the quay and sorted for market. The cottage is very well equipped and you would fail to find something that wasn’t provided. The flexible accommodation worked very well for our 4 generation family and the welcome pack was a nice touch much appreciated.

    We were looking forward to a holiday with friends (two families with children aged 6-13) and the house was perfect for us all. Downstairs provided plenty of space for dining and relaxing. Upstairs the bedrooms were lovely and comfortable with plenty of space for us all. Everything we needed was there from cooking utensils to a fishing net! We loved all the sea side decorations and finishing touches. We appreciated the welcome box of goodies too. The house is a minute from the sea front and ideally located for exploring up and down the coast too. We’d love to return sometime.

However, we were given complimentary parking permits by the owner and were able to park about 10 minutes (uphill) walk away.

Restored to a high standard, with oak flooring downstairs and furnished and decorated with a nautical feel, this Scarborough cottage offers spacious accommodation, with a comfortable sitting room and the benefit of a second sitting/games room - ideal for the younger members of the party and allowing plenty of space to spread out!

The modern, well-equipped kitchen of this Scarborough cottage has a dining area, which provides a lovely, sociable space to sit around the table with a cup of coffee and chat, whilst upstairs, the four bedrooms are tastefully styled.

To the rear of this cottage in Scarborough, is an enclosed sunny courtyard, the perfect spot to sit and relax with a glass of wine after a long day on the beach!

Rarely found in central Scarborough, the cottage boasts private parking for one car on the forecourt and a parking permit for a second, a real bonus for guests.

For those in search of lovely countryside, the whole of the spectacular North York Moors is within easy reach and many small coastal and inland villages, including Robin Hood's Bay, Danby and Staithes.
