Boasting a real sense of character, Puffin Cottage is a quaint escape for two couples looking to experience the wonders of North Yorkshire, including the bustling town of Scarborough just a few miles away.

Spend your down time in the sitting room, featuring exposed beams and a woodburning stove, this is a lovely spot to reflect on the day's events and catch up on some TV.

It makes the ideal site to stay, surrounded by rolling hills and lovely countryside, with thousands of hectares of moors and forest, several public pathways, and the well-known Scalby Beck, which weaves its way to the ocean.

    Garden well kept and secure for dogs

    Clean, tidy, maps welcome pack, torch, plenty of hooks and equipment in the kitchen. Would suggest three improvements. 1. The key safe is very low down and fiddly, 2. Could do with a sign explaining where parking is, we drove into the space at the front which was wrong, 3. To save any confusion I think the description should state that the property is not suitable for anyone with reduced mobility, we coped, but the stairs are steep and the outside steps need care.

    Amazing holiday at Puffin Cottage again - this is the second time we have been and we love it Our only suggestion would be a light at the top of the garden for when you get out of the car
