Overview
Property code: OC-S027

A delightful three-storey retreat that is perfect for a small family or two couples keen for a seaside break in Scarborough. Set just 150 metres from the beach and harbour. Stroll 0.5 miles to visit the castle, a former medieval fortress, and book boat trips from the harbour to see the seals. Wander the streets of the town, browsing in its independent shops and dining out in eateries serving fresh seafood. Venture 3 miles to the fringes of the North York Moors National Park, with its multitude of footpaths to follow through outstanding scenery.

Open the front door of the cottage and step through the lobby into the lounge. Settle in here together after your days on the beach or out and about in town. Find a film on the TV to enjoy together or chat about your plans. The kitchen/diner boasts a feature wooden ceiling and arched window. Gather around the table in here on those evenings you choose to stay in to eat. Make your way up the stairs to the first floor, where you have a double bedroom, with sea views, and the bathroom. Venture on up another level to discover a twin room, also with great views out towards the water, and a shower room.

There is no outside space with this holiday home, but Royal Albert Park is less than 0.5 miles away.

Quiet, despite, the location, and very convenient. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfotable and clean. Compact and ccomfy living room, but really needs a coffee table and a lighter mat - the big woolly one seems to take up most of the room. The kitchen/diner is adequate at best. Almost no surfaces to prepare food or store items - the cupboards aRead morell smell very musty and are crammed with generally unneeded items. At the very least there needs to be some shelving. The extractor above the cooker is too weak and does not remove smoke or steam quickly enough. There are no openable windows in the kitchen (unless you're 10 feet tall), which doesn't help. There are no obvious smoke alarms - since 2023, it's illegal not to have hardwired detectors, but all we could see were some portable CO monitors. There is a fire extinguisher and blanket, but they're too high on the wall for most people to reach. Legal issues aside, at half the price, the house would be a nice break for two fit people (there are many stairs in and out) for up to a week, but as things stand, there need to be some changes, particularly for safety's sake.

Great property, handy for beach, shops and restaurants. Parking is a huge bonus in a secure area.

A lovely cottage, right in the centre of the old town. Comfy beds, 2 proper sofas in the lounge so 4 adults can all sit down for the evening (I say this as many cottages seem to sleep 4 and seat 3!). The parking space is a real bonus and the permit you need to display is easy to spot once you're in the cottage. You can walk straight down the old cuRead morestom steps to the sea front or turn left out the cottage and walk up some gentle slopes into Scarbs, we are a mixed age group (40's-70s) and we didn't have any issues but if you're not keen on stairs or slopes then perhaps book a holiday in Holland instead .... as Scarbs isn't flat Hide

The cottage was superb and I would definitely recommend it and stay at it again. Just feel very disappointed that it wasn't made clear that you needed to display a parking permit and ended up with a 70 parking fine.
