It's close to the seafront, nice and quiet and the beds were all SO comfy, we slept like logs! ##### Grace R.

The property was clean and well cared for and provided the basics and more for our 2 night stay, it’s a delightfully quirky property, there were lots of steep stairs as the property’s over 4 floors but we didn’t mind at all, it adds to the character of this pleasant property and we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. ##### Holly P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jan m. 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient location Well located, just a stones throw from beach and castle. Lovely confu beds and bedding. Steep stairs so not really ok for very young children. Children enjoyed playroom and toys. Could do with more storage for food. All in all a veryv njoyable stay ##### jan m. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane B. 29 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and host This property is located within a short walk from the south bay or from the town centre so was ideal for us . Parking close by was possible although we were there for the bank holiday weekend and we fell lucky with a space coming free as we arrived - the parking permit was in the lounge ready for us. Communication with the host was excellent and she was very accommodating. The property has very steep internal stairs , this was in the description but just make sure you are prepared for them I wouldn’t for example want to carry a baby up and down them. The property is full of original features which make it quite quirky if you like modern clean lines this property may not be for you ! There were lots of additional conveniences and a lovely bottle of wine ( much appreciated) and overall we had a great stay - I only took off the 1 star of my overall score as it could do with a coat of fresh paint in some places I am however aware we were going peak season and this would probably have to wait until the off season ##### Jane B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### P H. 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Week in Scarborough The welcome pack was very useful with tea and coffee and other household stuff available in the kitchen. Parking was a bit confusing. For parking permit, we used the tan-coloured scratch card 4-day parking card (We didn't use the blue parking wheel timer card.) The house is spacious set over 4 floors with steep stairs. Not suitable for the elderly. It has 2 TV rooms so can cater for different age groups. The master bedroom has a super king bed which was very comfortable. The loft rooms have 2 bedrooms one has 2 single beds both children said they were not all that comfortable as they could feel the springs. The other double bedroom however was very comfortable and has stunning views across the sea. All in all a great holiday home and location. I would recommend staying at this property. ##### P H.

Stayed 15 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### ETHEL C. 16 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### suggestion to make family stay safe The place is super. The only problem was lack of stairgate on the top floor.A child could be killed or seriously injured if they wandered ,confused in the dark.Our littlest child has health problems ,often at night..We bought a non adjustable gate,cheaper,which is difficult for adult to climb over. We recommend you buy the adjustable one from Argos for east entry,about£40 to ensure safety and peace of mind for future families. We have left the cheaper one fr other peolple to use.

House was clean & spacious, had everything we could need. The only downside which had no reflection on the property (which was excellent) was the lack of parking in that part of Scarborough. ##### Beckie W. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### ROGER N. 4 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Holiday Lovely quaint house over 4 floors. You need to be reasonably fit as the stairs are steep, as is the walk to the Harbour and beach. Having said that there is plenty of space, everything we needed and the kids loved it. Once parked we didn't use the car at all and the we did loads. wonderful beaches, crabbing, amusements and ice creams. Every thing we needed for a refreshing break. ##### ROGER N.
