There is also outside seating and a barbecue should you wish to dine alfresco and continue the evening outdoors. Upstairs, two bedrooms are well-appointed, the first double is elevated by a view over the garden, with bedside tables and a dressing table, whilst the king-size benefits from a zip/link option for flexible sleeping arrangements, and a fitted wardrobe. The cottage's quality presentation continues into the family bathroom, which is immaculately finished in an all-white overtone. Surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful countryside, this location makes the perfect place to visit, with numerous public footpaths and the well-known Scalby Beck, which winds its way to the coast.
A weekly farmers' market is held in the school grounds selling local produce. With Scarborough on the doorstep and its fine, sandy beaches, good restaurants and bustling town centre, you will be spoilt for choice in this fabulous destination.

The owner, Mike, was there to greet us on our arrival which was a nice touch and we received a tasty welcome pack which was much more interesting than in previous properties we have visited. The garden area is lovely, the setting very peaceful, and we found the whole experience very relaxing. Most importantly, everything was clean and the towels and bed linen provided were of very good quality. The bed was extremely comfortable too. So, all in all, a very good experience indeed. Thanks to Mike and Christine.

Lovely warm very well equipped cottage in a quiet area , has everything you kneed for a relaxing break away . Nice walks on the doorstep are a bonus and the welcome basket provided means you can unpack and unwind on arrival. Definitely planning a repeat visit to Yew Court cottage in the future.
