What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is beautiful and centrally located.

  The beds are supremely comfortable (so much so that four of us have decided to buy the brands we slept in). The kitchen table is without a doubt, superb. The adults stayed in the kitchen the entire time. Kids used the lounge, but ate with us in the kitchen. Perfect seating for 10 in the kitchen; we definitely all had table envy. The kitchen is well equipped. Though we had a hiccup with the Hive heating system from our second day, the owners went out of their way to get us electric heaters for each room and supply us with more wood and firelighters for the wood burning stove in the kitchen, as well as get a plumber booked in as soon as they could; so we remained comfortable and they handled the problem extremely well. Parking was not an issue and the alley at the back of the property was the best place to unload the cars. When we couldn't find the cutlery because the kitchen is so posh (!) (in the hidden top drawer of the large drawer with the cutting boards), the manager we called was very friendly and accommodating. The South facing rear terrace was a suntrap, allowing some of the more hardy souls to sit there and take the sun when it was 10 degrees (but felt like 17 in the patio). The skylights in the kitchen were wonderful, adding tremendous light. Indeed the whole house was bright, cheerful and impeccably and sometimes humorously decorated. We loved it and have no hesitation in recommending this property. One word of caution with Sykes Cottages website - when you do a search for specific dates, the dates that may arise for booking may not be the dates you put in when you go to book - be very careful about this, as even if you notice the mistake immediately after booking, they will charge you extra. Subsequent look at their reviews suggests this happens to a lot of people so was not just a one off. I have not marked this property down for this because it's not the owner's fault, but rather, Sykes Cottages website. So, while I would most definitely book with this owner again and this house (or any other houses this owner may have on offer), I would be cautious when booking through the Sykes website, take screenshots before booking etc. Finally, the house is not one for serious mobility issues, as the bedrooms do require going up at least one steep flight of stairs. That said, there is a toilet/shower downstairs, so you would only be required to go up and down once in a day and the banisters do help - thus, it was not a problem for me with moderate mobility issues.

  Glorious stay at 39 West Street.

  Amazing house with plenty of room for the 9 of us for a family celebration. Sue was brilliant at responding to any queries we had! Beautifully decorated. Comfy beds. Kitchen well equipped, took our own airfryer which helped cater for 9 people as we enjoy cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Coffee machine was enjoyed by all! Oil filled radiators kept all toasty on floors 1 and 2 and plumber visited on same day when we had a plumbing issue. Great jaunts out to Stephen Joseph Theatre, Escape Room Scarborough, Whitby, York, Robin Hood Bay, Rowntree Lodge on West St for an amazing brunch and fab fish and chip supper from Ramshill Fisheries. In a lovely quiet area of Scarborough with town centre just a 15/20 min walk away and we made use of Cliff Lifts when needed. Thank you Sue we so enjoyed our stay!

  What a fabulous week we have just spent in this property.

  Everything has been done to the highest of standards and it really is worthy of 5 stars. All the rooms are enormous and have been well thought out including extremely large comfortable beds and luxurious bed linen. The huge bathrooms are very high spec with plenty of fluffy towels. The kitchen has been well equipped with everything that we needed. The outdoor space is perfect for when the sun is shining and the hot tub is an added bonus. The owner was very attentive and we had good communication with him which made our stay seamless including the car parking. The hamper on arrival was a very welcome gesture. The location was ideal for access to the beaches and the town. All in all a superb place to stay in Scarborough and would highly recommend it.

  We were celebrating a surprise birthday weekend for my husbands 60th everything was perfect all the rooms were beautiful and very comfortable with plenty of very modern bathrooms or en suite’s.

  It had everything that was needed all the little extras like games even in the garden. The kitchen had everything we needed for our number, we ate with everyone round the kitchen table, was pleasantly surprised with a nice bottle of bubbly and the use of condiments and cupboard stores very thoughtful of the owners also all the doggy bowls and cleaning products made it very dog friendly. The lounges were very comfortable with enough seating again beautifully furnished after our long days walking we loved going back to such a beautiful home which we felt it was, not just a house. We will definitely be booking up again. It was a well suited property for our party of 8 adults and one dog and easy parking. Many thanks from Sally and all the family.

  This is our 5 th time we have stayed at West Street and as soon as we put the key in the door and open it, it’s like we are coming home.

  The house wraps you in a huge hug and you instantly feel relaxed and all your worries disappear for the duration of your stay. This is the most gorgeous house we have ever stayed in, in Scarborough and will always return. The kitchen is super modern with all modern cons and then some. The kitchen also has a lovely log burner installed for those cozy nights in the kitchen playing games. The lounge also has a log burner and really comfy sofas. The bedrooms are simply stunning and I’ve never slept in such a huge comfy bed. I never want to get up. We also have the luxury of bringing our dog and there are always plenty of dog treats and bowls left for our furry friend. I can’t wait to book again and come back home to west street
