If you are unsure about booking. Then don't be. The cottage is exceptionally well looked after and wants for nothing. Comfortable and well appointed within the town with parking for 2 cars an absolute bonus. Kate thank you for letting us stay at your lovely property and for answering promptly all my questions.

Lovely cottage
We really loved staying at this lovely cosy cottage, had everything you could possibly need, very comfy beds, loved the spacious attic bedroom. Great parking at the back of the property. Kate the owner kept in touch and left a lovely basket of goodies for us, which was so nice. Walking distance to the beach and activities. Would definitely recommend 😊

FABULOUS HOLIDAY COTTAGE
The accommodation is so perfect that we will be booking again next year. First class accommodation with every comfort and appliances in luxury home. The cottage is super clean and spacious. The situation is second to none. It is just on the edge of the busy shopping streets but in a quiet area. I have also made friend with the neighbours which shows it is a family and safe area. There is a garden which is lovely for an al fresco drink and for the children. The parking for at least 2 or 3 cars is very unusual for the centre of Scarborough and make all the difference for loading and unloading. It is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. The owner's response was prompt for any enquiries we had. The directions and explanation for entry and leaving were clear so no problems whatsoever. I thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Had a lovely few days at the cottage. Equipped with everything you need and very clean. Good communication with owner very helpful parking space a god send due to the narrow streets and limited parking. Only one little problem I have a bad knee and found the stairs hard work but should have realised by the age of the cottage but still had a good holiday

Lovely stay in a quaint old cottage with all mod cons!
We had a great week at Gowland Cottage. Brilliant location for both North and South Bays. Equipped with everything we needed. Good wifi. Everything to hand. The stairs are steep both in the house and in the back garden but that's Scarborough!
