  • "A lovely place and just perfect for a week."

    Really loved we could shut the doors on the kitchen area. We were let in by the owner ,not only early but with milk and biscuits too. The flat was warm and could put heating on if needed. We found the bed very comfortable and the shower had plenty of power in it. Was only a short walk to most of Scarborough.

  • "The property was perfect for our stay."

    It was ideally located. Although a small apartment it had everything that we needed and plenty of space for 2. The bedroom and lounge were a good size. We had a view of the coast from the dining table in the bay window, although it was shrouded in mist while we were there. The owner, Gillian, was very friendly and helpful and checked that we had everything we needed. She had left milk, tea, coffee and biscuits which was a perfect welcome. Thank you

  • "Prefect, for all our needs."

    Ideal location, everything we wanted, was there. Able to walk into town, close to the Castle, with the North Cliff at the end of the short road. Gillian was very helpful with a warm welcome and was available, should she be needed. Hope to visit again later in the year.

    Clever use of the space available meant the kitchen area was very well integrated in the flat.

    Parking can be a bit of a problem but we were lucky enough to get a spot right outside the flat. As we were leaving we meet a neighbour who had lived in Scarborough all his life and could tell you many a thing about how it was years a go.

  • "The flat was immaculate, light, bright and warm."

    The owner was extremely helpful, talking me through the heating system, the bins, giving ideas of local places. Because there was no one in the flat before us, and no one directly following us, she allowed us to arrive early and leave late, which was extremely helpful. Due to restrictions, this was our first break away for 15 months. All covid secure systems were in place and everything felt totally safe. The owner also left us milk and biscuits which was really kind. We had a sea view from the dining table, and the area was extremely quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended for a very good value stay in a great spot.

  • "Very comfortable flat."

    Every effort has been made to make this one of the best holiday destinations I've ever been to. Lovely clean white sheets in an immaculate bedroom, exceptionally bright. Well equipped kitchenette with many extras, milk, tea and coffee provided together with all cleaning products. Very comfy settee with a nice view out of the window to the sea. Very good wi-fi , strong signal and a good sized tv. Though the shower room is small, the shower is excellent for a large bloke like me, with 2 sets of fluffy towels provided. Car parking tickets available for parking, I got mine outside but suspect in summer it would be more difficult. Easy to walk to nearby shops and food establishments.

  • "Very clean accommodation, everything provided."

    Covid restrictions all met with clear guidance displayed on posters and information in the pack the host left, which left us feeling reassured we were staying in a safe environment and everything possible had been done to meet the health and safety requirements for all concerned. Host was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and Gillian was very mindful of our concerns when the second lockdown came into force and did everything possible to ensure she found answers to our questions to see if we were able to stay on holiday which we were.

    It is in a great position close to the sea and there are local shops 10 minutes walk from the apartment. Gillian was brilliant. We spoke on the phone when I arrived and she made sure that I knew where everything was in the flat, she even called me after my holiday to ask me how I got on. That personal touch makes a big difference. I would definitely recommend staying at Coast View if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in a great location.

  • "The property is well positioned and both North bay and South bay are easily accessible."

    The flat is comfortable. The kitchen area and the bathroom are both quite small and space is limited. The majority of what is needed however is in the kitchen and plenty of towels were provided. We really enjoyed our stay. The dining table is placed in the bay window which gives a view of the sea. It can be difficult to find a place to park on the road where the property is but imagine that gets easier away from high season. A parking permit is required (which are left in the property) and allows you to park in nearby streets. Traffic wardens do patrol and leave penalty notices so don't be tempted to leave the car without a valid permit in it!

    10 minutes walk to town centre and about 15 to the main seafront. The flat is warm and cozy and cleaned to a high standard with everything provided that you could need, it’s compact but makes a good use of the available space. The bed is comfy and there is plenty of storage in the bedroom. The owner was great to deal with, always available and left some lovely welcome gifts. She was also very helpful in what were very difficult circumstances for us when she had no obligation to do so. 5 stars all round from us.

Gillian was a lovely welcoming host, living locally she is knowledgeable and is able to answer any questions about the area regarding eating out and attractions. It showed that she cared for her property and made sure we had everything to enjoy our stay at Coast View. The shared entrance and hallway was clean and tidy. A car parking zone permit and a disc for other zones was provided and we found, albeit late in the season no issues with parking.

    The downfall and I am so sorry to say this for Gillian, she is a lovely lady, is that the promotion for this apartment is very misleading and I believe Gillian has no part in this. Yes there is a sea view, up the street and through the right hand side of the bay window and it is just the rails and cars and a bit of sea. Not what I expected. I should have know better than book with Sykes having past experience with you. Let down yet again. So sorry Gillian because you were wonderful and could not have done more.

The property

A well-presented, upper ground floor apartment, set in an attractive Georgian terraced property close to the seafront in Scarborough.

Modernised throughout, it provides excellent accommodation for couples wishing to enjoy the many attractions of this vibrant resort, within close proximity to the stunning countryside of the North York Moors National Park.

Renovated to a good standard, there is a light and airy sitting room with doors opening into the contemporary galley-style kitchen.

This social space retains high ceilings, original sash windows and a floor-to-ceiling bay window, which houses the dining table, a lovely spot for a leisurely breakfast whilst enjoying coastal views over the sea and headland.

With a comfortable double bedroom and a modern shower room, the apartment offers a lovely base in a quiet area.

Just a minute’s walk to the end of the street brings you fabulous views of the coastline and a path leading down to the seafront, with its golden sands, cafés and brightly painted beach huts.

There are pretty ornamental gardens, the open air theatre at Peasholm Park or the renowned Stephen Joseph Theatre in the round, which features excellent productions.

With a wide array of restaurants, pubs and shops, there is something to please everyone.

The beautiful surrounding countryside and moors are well worth exploring too, with ample walking opportunities and the nearby market towns of Pickering and Kirkbymoorside.

A well-placed apartment at any time of year.
