The location was fab, minutes away from the beach but still nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Lovely little house, plenty of space and clean.

The beds weren't very comfortable in my opinion, bouncy but hard!
I had to battle with an ENORMOUS spider getting the keys which were located in a small shed.
The kitchen taps are labelled wrong so I spent half an hour running the tap to wash up waiting for hot water, only to realise I had the cold tap running!
Parking was a problem. We stuck to the guide book which indicated there was a drop off space right outside, which there was and was very handy, but it was strictly a drop off pace. We were told there would be 'Parking Scratch Cards' which would allow you then to move to any available nearby street parking. Firstly, we weren't provided with any scratch cards, however, even if we had had them, being so close to the sea front getting a space to use the scratch card was extremely limited! Even so, I got in touch with the host website to enquire about the scratch cards, Each day I was told they were looking into it - needless to say, we never got any scratch cards. I was also told to park in the designated parking spot...............but the designated parking spot was for drop off only and blocked a whole row of houses if we were to have parked there all weekend!
My partner had to spend around an hour each day moving the car and making sure to do so at certain times so as not to get a ticket as it is located in a disc zone which would have been resolved had we ever received any scratch cards!!!!!!!!

Very clean. Perfect location.

All 3 mattresses was like sleeping on concrete. The pillows were awful. We had the worst nights sleep that we’ve ever had. Struggled to find the cottage as it’s a very tight and small opening. There should at least be a sign saying ‘cottages this way etc’. VERY rude & snotty neighbours. Watching everything that you’re doing , complaining about parking yet on the sheet inside the property it says you CAN park on the back IF there isn’t any parking spaces. We booked to stay 2 nights , we only stayed the 1 night and went home as we couldn’t be doing with the neighbours and the beds were just truly awful. For the price you pay , you’d think you’d get a lot more/a conformable experience A waste of money to be honest.

Fabulous cottage in an ideal location. Fixtures, fittings and furniture all of a high standard. Very comfortable we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much

The guide to the cottage should also be paper not just online. This makes it inclusive for people who are not confident with online.

The cottage was beautifully decorated with a well stocked kitchen. We felt at home! The garden is lovely too. There was lots of useful information in the guide book and it was easy to understand the logistics of the house. The hosts were responsive.

Nothing! Everything was great, I have given 9 not 10 because for 10 there would have needed to be something really outstanding, such as some locally sourced food provided for guests.

A beautiful house in a great location for both the north and south bays. Thoroughly recommended.
Just watch out for their damage deposit policy. You either have to pay an extra £25 insurance fee on top of the rental, or if you pay a deposit of £250 they take 2 weeks to return it and charge a £10 admin fee. I’d rather they were more up-front and included it in the charges.

Unique and very comfortable for four.

No parking but this is common in Scarborough, tickets and disc were provided for on road parking.

All was fine & as expected, unusual parking we were a little unsure if the scratch card over rode the 2 hour limit, which it did!

The location is perfect, a short (if a little steep!) walk to Scarborough sea front yet the cottage is very quiet and secluded. It is beautifully appointed and the elevated cottage garden is lovely.

Such a pretty and relaxing property. A great location for exploring Scarborough and the surrounding area. House was very well equipped and spotless. We were sad to leave 1 Coastguard Cottage.

Very nicely decorated and well appointed from a furniture and kitchen perspective. Nice location on the headland

Not issues for us but:

Position is top of a steep road so not ideal for people with disabilities.

Nowhere to sit out.

The property was beautiful and really well presented. Be warned it’s at the top of the hill but that’s Scarborough and the views from the top of the hill are superb. Well worth the walk with easy reach to both beaches.

This house is amazing & we didn’t want to come home.
It it beautifully decorated and so in keeping with the period of the property. Spotlessly clean & tidy.
The gardens are so peaceful & what a view of the south bay.
There is definitely a walk up the hill but it’s a small price to pay for when you get ‘home’.
A real hidden gem - would stay again easily.

Cottage itself was lovely. Nice decor. Lovely garden and surroundings. But a long walk from station and some steep hills to climb from coastline.
Neighbours did not seem happy with Airbnb letting and questioned us twice when taking the back path through gardens.
Single bed mattresses were uncomfortable.
No welcome pack so after a long, delayed journey and a long walk we were disappointed to not even find a pint of milk to welcome us. And, then a long walk to find a shop! For the cost we had expected a little more attention to detail.

Lovely property, very clean and newly decorated, perfect for a family of 4, lovely large bathroom. Excellent location and views of Scarborough. Everything you could every need was provided, although would of liked full length mirrors in bedrooms, oh and a washing up bowl, so not end of the world! Parking was good for location, however I definitely wouldn't recommend this property for anyone with mobility issues, steep garden entrance to front of property, and steep stairs inside. I would definitely come back again, it was very nice

We booked for 2 nights at Easter but i could easily have stayed for a week. The property is clean, well presented, and has everything you need. The “secret” garden is a hidden gem with fantastic views, and i don’t think the booking websites advertise this enough. It was amazing to sit and have a morning cup of tea or evening glass of wine with the sound of the birds singing and great views. Even the garden at the back of the property is so much more beautiful than the pictures show.

The property is in a lovely area near the castle. It’s up the hill so be prepared to walk up and down a lot.

The Scarborough Arms is a lovely local pub serving nice food, with lovely staff too.

I will definitely book to visit this beautiful accommodation again.

I was originally a little put off by the damage waiver and i think it would be best if Hotel & Stay hid this in the price instead of hounding for payment. But now i’ve been on the holiday, it wouldn’t worry me.
