Guests say

Guests consistently praise this Scarborough cottage for its cosy atmosphere, excellent value, and welcoming hosts. The swimming pool and games room are standout features, especially for families and children. The location is ideal for exploring nearby coastal towns and walking routes, with peaceful surroundings and pet-friendly grounds. While most found the cottage well-equipped and comfortable, a few noted minor maintenance issues and a snug bathroom. Overall, visitors highly recommend the property and many plan to return.

Most guests found the cottage clean and well-prepared, with clean bedding and towels. One review mentioned a need for a deeper clean and some damp in a downstairs bedroom, but this was not a widespread concern.

The location is frequently praised for its proximity to Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, and other attractions, as well as its peaceful setting. Some wished for more nearby children's activities, but overall, the location is highly regarded.

Guests describe the cottage as cosy, spacious, and comfortable, with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The only recurring negative was a small bathroom, but this did not significantly impact overall comfort.

The swimming pool, games room, and sauna are repeatedly highlighted as excellent features, adding great value and enjoyment to guests' stays. Facilities are well-maintained and accessible at all times.

There are no specific mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

    Good location for visiting Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Filey and Goathland. Convenient for walking sections of the Cleveland Way. Plenty of pubs and eating places close by.

    My grandkids loved it here, the games room and swimming pool went down a treat. The cottage was well equipped and the bedding and towels were clean. The only negative was that we felt it could do with a lick of paint/ deeper clean. The downstairs bedroom had some damp on the walls near the beds but my grandson with asthma slept upstairs so it worked out okay
