It was a lovely surprise for us to arrive and the house be decorated for Christmas, this really topped off our stay to make it feel magical. Sue made us feel really welcome, providing a stocked pantry, coffee machine, milk, cleaning products and even a treat of a bottle of fizz! The house was plenty big enough for our group of 8 adults, 2 young children and a dog, we will definitely be back!
Rachel
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!
