"Amazing and beautiful property ."
Helpful and friendly host which goes a long way to making the stay even better. Would definitely recommend to anyone for luxurious and perfect weekend.
-
"Fantastic well equipped property in a great location."
A very welcoming and helpful owner who was available at all times to answer queries .
-
"The reality is better than the photos!"
Huge house that is finished to a very high standard. Highly recommended. Great communication from the host.
-
"The property itself is gorgeous and very conveniently located to access the town centre and sea front."
Unfortunately, the owners false accusations of damage means that I cannot leave a fully positive review. Fortunately, I have photo and video evidence to prove that the damage was there on our arrival so if you do decide to stay here I strongly suggest taking images of everything immediately on arrival in case you are accused of damage like us. I wouldn’t recommend staying based on the negative communication and lack of professionalism from the owner unfortunately.

"We cannot rate this property any higher, it was/is amazing and would highly recommend for any large groups looking for quality accommodation."
On arrival the standard was immediately obvious, so clean and extremely well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped for the number of guests, with everything thought of. The welcome hamper was beautiful and very much appreciated. The location of the property made it so easy to actually walk down to the front promenade even with children! The group enjoyed the stay so much we will be returning next year!!
-
"We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house."
Everything is finished to a high standard and plenty of space for a big group. We stayed as a family and there were 21 of us. The owner Jaime was on hand whenever we needed help and made sure we had the best stay possible. Would highly recommend this house. Just need a few long mirrors and a tv in the smallest room. Thanks again we had an amazing time.
-
"Amazing house and brilliant location."
Very clean and well equipped. Would definitely recommend.
-
"The house is stunning both inside and outside."
There is plenty of room for at least 6 cars (small to medium size) and even though it’s down a side street once you’ve driven in you could be anywhere. The house backs on to the railway but you barely hear the trains, obviously a big hint in the name
-
"Absolutely beautiful house."

-

Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Large bedrooms with comfortable beds and linen. Plenty of seating area in both lounges and around the large kitchen table. Hot tub was lovely. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Had a fab stay this weekend, there was a group of 15 of us that stayed and it couldn’t have suited us better."
Loads of room for us all and plenty of space for games, chilling out etc. The house was so clean and modern, we literally did not want to leave. Already going to book up for next year!

"Cannot recommend enough."
. Absolutely amazing house, not to be missed! Just filled this stunning house with 22 of my family and enjoyed a fantastic, unforgettable 4 nights. The photos do not do it justice.. The place is huge! Right in the heart of everything and parking for lots of cars. Every room beautiful and finished to a high standard, with quality carpets, fixtures and fittings throughout. Host has put a lot of effort in and gone above and beyond to make sure you have a brilliant stay with an array of amenities, games, tv’s (everywhere!), table football, hot tub, even 22 chairs fit round one dining room table!! Great value, great fun, great memories! Thanks Jamie for making us so welcome, checking all ok at the start and again upon departure (not to mention the welcome gifts .. the huge picnic basket hamper!! ) Had the best time and already planning our return. Can’t fault it..

"We had a very good stay, the one problem we had early on with the heating/ hot water was fixed very quickly by the owner who was very friendly."
The welcome hamper was a nice addition. A property within easy reach of many Scarborough amenities.

"Beautiful house."

"Absolutely amazing!"
! the house is breathtaking, the owner has gone above and beyond in providing all that is needed and to the highest of spec. The house is situated in the heart of Scarborough and within walking distance to everything. We stayed at the house this weekend 30th June to 2nd July for my daughter 40th birthday we had the best time at this beautiful house. There was even a luxury essentials hamper waiting for us in the kitchen when we arrived. I am not a big review writer but when a place deserves it, this definitely does. Thank you Jaime for providing us ladies with a top class accommodation 10 out of 10
Absolute pleasure, glad you enjoyed the house. Property Owner

"Amazing weekend at Railway house!"
I booked the property for a hen party of 18 women and everyone loved it! There was a lovely welcome pack at the house waiting and Jaime checked in on us to ensure we were happy with everything and was very supportive with anything we needed. Brilliant place, great location, more than we could have asked for. Thank you very much
-

Great host. Couldn't fault it. We were so impressed with everything definitely want to book another trip!
-
"We had wonderful weekend at the Railway House."
It is an amazingly spacious property and it accommodated our needs perfectly. Very central, once parked our vehicles we didn't need to move them during the weekend.The host was easy to contact and very friendly. It was just what we needed for our family to be together and enjoy each other's company. Wouldn't hesitate to return. You will not be disappointed.
-
"A very immaculate house, facilities were perfect for our celebrations."
-
"This house is absolutely beyond stunning."
17 of us stayed here for 30th birthday celebrations and had the best time. The place was immaculate, decorated perfectly and had everything we could possibly need and more - they really had thought of everything! Every room in the house is just beautiful. The welcome basket was a lovely touch, and Jaime was a phone call away for anything we needed whilst there. We can’t thank you enough for the most fantastic weekend.
-
"Railway House is an excellent place to stay, we stayed as a Large family of 22 to celebrate my Son's 18th Birthday The property is superb and has everything you need and more :) The facilities are excellent and added bonus of the Hot Tub made for a great weekend away."
I would recommend this property to anyone looking for an impressive place to stay in a large group. The owner was easily contactable if we had any problems which we didn't but that was good to know they were there if needed. Had a brilliant weekend in an awesome property Thanks
-
"All 18 of us loved our stay at the Railway Cottage in Scarborough."
Perfect location and great setting for 40th Birthday weekend. Jamie was a great host, from checking we had arrival and checked in to the arrival hamper for us. Would definitely recommend for a group staycation!

"Absolutely fantastic in every way."
We couldn't fault this beautiful property if we tried, everything was wonderful, the beds were incredibly comfortable and we all had a brilliant time - thank you!
-
"A fantastic well equipped property!"
So well finished and great for larger groups! The owner was fantastic aswell checking in with us to make sure everything was ok and when I had a query about the hot tub he contacted me immediately to help! Only one point of note I would say is the small toilet down next to the back door could do with a blind in the window or frosted glass.
Thank you for your amazing review. So glad you enjoyed your stay. I’ve already ordered a blind for the window. Regards Jaime Property Owner

"Perfect! Everything we needed and more."
Every room is immaculate and everything has been thought of. Having two large lounges with enough seating was brilliant, when people weren’t happily sitting and chatting in the kitchen. Every bedroom was lovely and super comfy and all the bathrooms were amazing. The hot tub and the table football were enjoyed by everyone. The house just had so much room and perfect for mixed ages. I could put the littlest ones to bed without any worry about them being woken up and everyone else could still enjoy the evening. Jamie was brilliant, all information you need for the house is there and if needed you can message him and get a really quick response. Having parking for everyone is also a big plus! Would highly recommend.

Very close to the town center and beach. Gorgeous comfortable rooms. Plenty of seating areas for everyone. Would love to go again!

-
"This property is absolutely gorgeous."
The detail in the decor is amazing. You can tell tell the owner cares about his customers. Great location also! Right near shops and not a far walk from the beach! We had an amazing time and made some great memories. Thank you so much.
-
"A beautiful house with so many great rooms."
Really comfortable beds and fabulous bathrooms.We all had a really enjoyable stay.Great location just a short walk from the shops p
-
"Amazing property with lots of wow factor - it was bigger than we expected from the photos."
The hot tub was fab and the bathrooms are lovely. Our only negative comments would be the lack of large pans and large serving dishes as it was quite difficult to cook for 22 people at times. The dining table only seated 18 too. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Hi there, I’m really sorry about the pans and dishes etc. I would of happily brought some down if you had informed me during your stay. I have since been and bought more, so hopefully this should no longer be an issue. We have enough seating for 22 but I know it’s a squeeze. It’s the largest set up we could find without splitting the tables and having two separate tables which I’d don’t want to do. I’m glad you enjoyed the house and again my apologies for the little issues you had. Regards Jaime Property Owner
-
"The house is beautiful and exactly as described."
It had everything we needed and catered for our large party of 22. The beds were lovely and comfortable, the towels were lovely and soft - that is something that many do not get right. Jaime, the owner, was very welcoming and was very helpful throughout our stay. We were greeted with a lovely hamper with some lovely thought out goodies. We would highly recommend this property/
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the Railway House, really spacious for all the 21 Guests with all amenities to hand."
Great location close to the city but within walking distance to the beach and more. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
-
"Our stay at the Railway house was absolutely brilliant!"
Once we parked up our cars they never moved again due to everywhere being within easy walking distance! (Especially the pub literally 20 steps up the road)! Their was more than enough room throughout the property for the 23 of us! (Ages ranged from 5months to 50’s) The attention to detail in the finishing touches really make the house stand out from the rest! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we’re looking at booking again!
