Hook's House

Third visit to Hooks house love staying here.

Will hopefully be back next year.

Nice place.

A comfortable quirky cottage.

It had everything I needed and it was close to the beach and to restaurants.

We had an amazing weeks stay here 27th June.

The house had everything we needed and more,we were very impressed. The welcome basket was lovely to see as we walked in the property and the fresh milk was a bonus after badly needing a coffee after travelling. The kids loved it as much as we did! Especially waking upto the beautiful views from the bedrooms. The Location is absolutely fantastic aswell. Ive been coming to Scarborough for many many years and rented quite a few holiday homes in the old town and Hooks house tops them all so far! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We look forward to booking again very soon. Sarah,Dini,Lexi and Ricco

What a quirky property.

Hooks house is in the perfect location for south beach with many restuarants, pubs and shops. There is a beautiful walk if you go right to the very end of south beach where all the beach huts are located. Its also not too far from north beach if you go via the cobbled roads behind the house. The house itself is very quirky with four floors. Our favourite room was the attic room as it was the most spacious and comfortable. Both bedrooms have TVs which is perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. My apologies to the owner for misplacing the livingroom remote control, I hope it has been found. The owner was lovely and helpful.

We love this house, its history, location, and overall comfort.

The owners are also invariably warm & helpful. We would unreservedly recommend it to others.

Lovely house in a perfect location for the beach/seafront.

Had everything that we needed. Just found the front door difficult to lock/unlock and the living room window was very drafty.

This is a great property, a bit quirky and lots of character.

It would not suit anyone with limited mobility as the stairs are a bit steep. Having said that we really enjoyed our time there as the location is brilliant for the beach, harbour and town centre. Parking is fine with the scratch cards and is quite close to the property.

Loved the wee house….

.lots of character etc…….. but….as a couple in our 70’s we found the stairs very difficult……even though we consider ourselves quite fit……steep and uneven……..the shower was awful we could not get it to be anything but super hot……….i had to wash my hair in the sink……I texted the owner and had no response……..otherwise the place was great!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hooks cottage, Scarborough, perfect location.

2 mins walk to the beach .lovely clean cosy cottage.best sleep ive had in years , the beds were so comfy .will definitely be booking again .

Perfect location with sea views.

The cottage has everything you will need away from home. Simon the host went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful holiday

Great location.

..close to restaurants, cafes and shops. The house is lovely ...sea views and sunrises from top bedroom outstanding. Beds extremely comfortable . Very relaxing environment

Had a lovely holiday in hooks house.

Warm cosy rooms, comfy beds . Everything in the kitchen to enjoy our stay. 2 mins to beach ,lovely views from bedroom windows. Didn't want to go home. Thankyou Simon and family for a lovely holiday

Fab place close to the sea!

Very lovely house had everything we needed for the week.

Felt like home from home. Also very good location, For us there was a little problem with parking all though we got very lucky every time. (It's very busy and spaces where limted but parking permits definitely help) We will be back in the future I'm sure.

Stairs can be a problem could of done with a air fryer instead of oven

Really enjoyed our recent stay at Hooks House, great location with parking included close by.

The property was clean and comfortable and the host is fantastic, answering any queries promptly. Will definitely be staying again!

Was a lovely cottage and couldn’t fault it, was a few minor issues that jess addressed on the same day!

The kingsize bed was so comfy! The shower was a bit temperamental going hot and cold but we could deal with that! The location was perfect! Would definitely book again!

A lovely cottage with plenty of room.

2 Plush sofa's ❤ Great facilities and so close to everything! The house has soul and beautiful features, I would recommend to couples or families.

The house itself is quite nice and in a wonderful location overlooking the sea from the second row of houses.

However, the kitchen (in the cellar) has just one very small window and is damp and therefore the floor and parts of the walls seem to be moldy, at least that is what it smelled like and my asthma reacted quite quickly. Therefore we just used the kitchen to prepare the food and then went upstairs to the lounge... The other quite irritating aspect of this property is that - as it being the last in a row of terraced houses - it shares the beams with the neighboring property and somehow the cigarette smoke from the lady next door seeps through the walls and the roof into this house and we had to leave all windows open as much as possible to cope. This was an aspect that we did not expect and the owner should definitely address this problem. Otherwise the house itself and the rooms are quite lovely and very quirky. Without these two (for us) very negative aspects the stay was very enjoyable.

Had a fantastic week staying at Hook’s house.

The property is situated in a great position, just back from the harbour. This makes it an ideal location to explore the old town, and new. Being situated in the old town, it is surrounded by the history of Scarborough. Anne Brontës last resting place is a 10 minute walk up the old steps, to the church overlooking the harbour. The castle is a 15 minute walk, with truly breathtaking views over the bay. Alternatively heading down the cobbles and away from the property, takes you to the sea front. Here you will find all the sights and smells of a typical English seaside town. The interior of the property is very spacious being over 4 floors, and the top floor bedroom has a great sea view. The amenities provided ensure a very comfortable and hassle free stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lovely cottage in a great location, with everything you could whish for included, for a pleasant stay.

We will return very soon!

Lovely old fisherman's cottage in a great location near the harbour and South Bay.

Owners were very helpful and quickly fixed a problem we had with the TV. The house is comfortable and a good size for a small family.

We had a lovely holiday.

Hooks House is well placed and a fantastic old building and very quirky. There are lots of nice bars nearby - especially the Leeds Arms up the hill round the corner and Marisco Lounge cafe bar on the front. For some pub grub - try the Scarborough Arms. The beds and sofa were super comfy which was just as well as we must have walked the whole of Scarborough. We visited Filey, Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby and would recommend. Thank you

We had a lovely holiday at Hooks house .

Very comfortable ,lovely comfy beds and everything you need in the kitchen . Harbour and beach just a couple of minutes walk away. 2nd time we've stayed at Hooks house ,hope to stay again. Thankyou Simon and family .

lovely cottage perfect location.

Will love to comeback again

Excellent property in perfect location, everything you need, although we never used cooking facilities as we always eat out, would have given 5 stars but the amount of walking we did it would have been nice to have a nice relaxing bath, unfortunately only a shower, other than that couldn't fault the place, and apologies to Simon, i forgot to leave feedback in the book.

This house would be lovely with a deep clean and some tlc.

It's in a great position near to sea, castle and town centre. The owners were helpful. However, the house was very dirty when we arrived - food spills in both fridge and microwave, one shelf of food cupboard covered in bread crumbs and the whole house needed vacuuming. My bedding was dirty - make up stains and hairs - there was no spares so I had to sleep in it the first night (owner sent someone to change it the next day). There is a bad slug problem in the house and we had to clean up trails in living room, kitchen and up the stairs each morning. If anything was left on floor overnight in those rooms (like slippers or shoes) they would have trails on the next morning. The owner did offer to move us but we couldn't face repacking and the other house had mixed reviews. Slugs can be cured with the right treatment. Oven trays are battered and rusty but OK if you buy some greaseproof paper, and cutlery mismatched ( some bent and one knife with paint on). We felt like we should have been offered some money back after having to do so much cleaning but nothing offered.

Had a lovely stay at this charming cottage the stairs were a bit of an issue with both my 87 year old mother and myself but we were aware of this when booking.

This did not spoil our stay apart from the odd cup of tea and toast we did not use the kitchen (ate out on our travels not returning to the cottage until late at night). The location is excellent for the sea front and local bus service which we used on a daily basis to get into the town and also visit the rest off the coast and villages.

Fantastic cottage really quirky over four floors, beautiful views from the bedrooms.

Perfectly situated 1min from beach ,pubs and amusements. Really enjoyed our stay and will return to Hook House next year .

Great for location can’t be faulted.

If you have any mobility issues stairs could be tricky. My husband is 6ft 2 and he was walking hunched over in the kitchen not high enough kitchen smelt very damp we’ve got to bare in mind the age of the building and awful weather we’ve had . We were going to eat in a few days but ended up going out for everything to eat due to trails of slugs on the carpet in the living room we had actually stood on one luckily with our shoes on. We contacted the owner who was very prompt even offered to try and take afternoon off to address the issue we told him to leave it nothing much he could do with us still living in it we just ate out. The couch behind cushions full of dog hair. Beds very comfy we will not be back unfortunately but we still enjoyed our holiday.

Had a great stay at Hooks House, would definitely recommend this property for a stay in Scarborough.

Great location, 10 seconds from the front and one of the best Fish and Chips in Scarborough right outside the front door. Plenty of space for a family of four, and a touch of old Scarborough to enjoy your stay in. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Quirky house in a great location.

Thanks for a lovely holiday!

Hooks House is the perfect seaside retreat.

Right in the middle of everything wonderful Scarborough has to offer it offers comfortable rest while you decide what to do next. Some excellent eateries nearby, walks from the doorstep and the beach and castle very close by. Also a great base for exploring this wonderful heritage coastline with its breathtaking views and wonderful wildlife. Every time we leave we make sure we are booked in to come back to Hooks again .

We loved staying at this property and will definitely book it again.

The facilities were fab , the location is amazing. The house is beautiful, the rooms and beds were so comfy, everything you need is there. Hubby was happy at the pub a couple of doors away, We took our dog and it was lovely that most places are dog friendly in Scarborough. There were no downsides for us but if you are elderly and struggle with stairs this is maybe not the place for you but that is not a negative. The owners were available if we needed them and I felt I needed to call Simon just to let him know how happy we were with the accommodation.

Lovely, slightly quirky, house over four floors in a really great location.

All the rooms nicely decorated and the bedrooms are both a good size, top floor particularly. Sofa and beds really comfy and a nice shower. Bonus sink in top floor bedroom. Communications really good throughout. Just a shame about the next door neighbour who smokes constantly - being a hot weekend and needing the windows open, you noticed the smell, though I appreciate not a lot the owner can do about it!

Lovely cottage, very clean and well equipped.

In a very good position, perfect for access to beach and town. Very handy for local restaurants and pubs. Loved it, we had a great time, even the weather was good to us !

Hooks House is the quintessential seaside cottage.

Steeped in the heritage of Scarborough that you can sense in the walls but with the modern comforts and all you need for a fabulous stay by the sea. The cottage is warm and cosy so great in all seasons. The location takes some beating with sea views from three floors and two minutes from the beach ,harbour and colourful seafront but tucked away enough to be a peaceful retreat from the 9-5. Scarborough is the most amazing resort with wildlife, walking ,historical sites, fantastic eateries and so much more. Park up the car and immerse yourself in all this beautiful resort has to offer with Hooks House as your cosy base or trip off around the unrivalled coast and moors of God’s own county . This was our fourth stay at Hook’s and we are already looking forward to our next .

Had a great xmas & new year in Hooks house,the location being just why we booked Hooks house it being a few meter's walk from the harbour and seafront.

The house itself was amazingly quaint and we loved the layout of the house with the kitchen in the basement and the views from the bedroom windows were stunning. Loved walking down to the harbour and strolling to the Spa and back then catching the number 8 bus which takes you up the hills to the town centre.Really is so close to everything. Beds were so comfy but could really do with new pillows as the ones in use are flat and lumpy. Would have no hesitation in staying in hooks house again.

Had a great time in Hooks House.

In a fantastic location overlooking the south bay beach. Simon & Jess were welcoming and made a real effort to ensure our stay was pleasurable. I only have one suggestion, that being the pillows on the bed may be due for replacing, as lumpy/unsupportive.. Thanks again though for a great stay. Richard.

Well situated and a beautiful historical building.

Lovely inside and well equipped, we will return and the owners check in text was appreciated.

absolutely fantastic house to stay in rare little gem in great location 1 minute walk to beach beautiful views from bedrooms loved our stay here everything you need well equipped comfy beds and bonus tvs in both rooms beautifully decorated and clean great little pub practically next door a must to visit lots to do we will definitely be back to hooks house happy holiday the stevens family

Another stay for us at Hook’s House.

Perfectly located cottage that is full of quirky charm. Warm and comfortable with sea views and in easy reach of everything lovely Scarborough has to offer. Owner is helpful and accommodating.

Had a wonderful stay.

Picked for it's perfect location and views of the sea. Ideal for walks around both North and South bay

Beautiful accommodation great location

Excellent property that has that special feel to it.

You can feel the history of it when on the ground floor. Scarborough is always on our list of "go to" UK breaks and this cottage has now become first choice for any future stays we plan. Outstanding communication from the host pre, during and post stay. Location is just perfect for a memorable stay. Eateries and hostelries are all within walking distance , as is the beach and seafront arcades etc. Everything you could need for a home from home is provided in every room of the cottage. Heating system is fantastic and keeps the whole property very comfortable indeed. In short-if you are planning a Scarborough holiday make this property top of your list. It is that good.

The cottage is lovely, with everything you could possibly need.

It's in a very central location with everything within walking distance. Can't wait to go back again.

Hooks House did not disappoint lovely and quirky located just right close to all amenities and well equipped with everything you need.

The views from the bedroom windows are amazing. Would highly recommend both Hooks House and Scarborough for chilled out stay or some family fun. Would definitely book to stay again.

This is our second recent stay in Hooks House .

It’s a quirky little bolt hole with a sense of Scarborough’s history in its walls. Modern touches, warm and comfortable and perfectly positioned for all the delights Scarborough offers. Lovely sea views and watching the sun rise over the bay every morning restores the soul.

Great location with nice sea views from bedroom.

A really cosy, spotlessly clean little cottage in the heart of Scarborough.

Comfiest beds ever! Couldn't have asked for better. Will hopefully be back soon.

Lovely , cosy cottage in beautiful Scarborough, close to the harbour, castle and beach and seafront.

Quirky but with comfortable modern touches , splendid views across the sea as far as Bempton Cliffs and sight of the sunrise over the sea. Parking nearby with permits provided, park up and no need to move the car as everything in easy walking distance.

The property is immaculately decorated and furnished.

We found everything to be perfectly clean and the beds were really comfortable, so a good night's sleep was assured! The views across the harbour from the top floor bedroom were lovely. Scarborough has plenty to do and Hooks house is ideally situated to enjoy the features of both the splendid seafronts and the town centre, most of which are an easy walk away. Accessing the A2 zone parking provided was difficult (we stayed in high season), sometimes needing a 5 minute walk or so from the property, but there is so much to do in Scarborough without the car it wasn't an issue for us. We visited York, using their excellent Park and Ride service, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Pickering, all of which made very enjoyable days out. More locally, the "Stumble Inn" was well worth the 1.2km climb up the hill to just past the station on the right. A small extremely friendly pub, out of the centre, with an excellent range of beer and cider. Don't expect a vista or armchairs. The bonus is that it's downhill going home;0) stumbleinnmicropub.weebly.com/home.html The pub right next door, Wilson's, has just been redecorated and is comfortable. A good range of real ales but not so many ciders. Great for right next door.

Hook's house was cosy, clean, well equipped and in a fantastic location.

When we weren't out enjoying what Scarborough had to offer, we were very happy to spend time in the house relaxing as it really felt like a 'home from home'.
