Spacious grand house for friends

Lovely spacious property over-looking a small park. Set over four floors. Lots of rooms, lots of bathrooms, fabulously well equipped kitchen. Five minute walk to the beach or train station, 10 minutes to the town centre. Well decorated, lots of hot water and good pressure in the showers. Would stay again.

Holiday in Scarborough

A superb house in an excellent location for both the beach, gardens and the town itself. Set on 4 levels, it appeared nothing had been forgotten to help with our stay. The kitchen has to be seen to be believed with a lovely kitchen island ideal for any meal. There was plenty of room to cater for 3 generations of our family whilst we stayed there. I would thoroughly recommend this property as an excellent place to stay.

Plenty of space to be together or have a bit of space apart with 3 separate living spaces Easy access to the sea front and town as well. It was perfect for us and surpassed our expectations. Thanks

Perfect house for birthday celebration

The house is just perfect. Very clean well furnished and the kitchen had lots of equipment and utensils. Such a spacious house with lots of different rooms to relax in. The dining room was plenty big enough for the 9 of us to sit round the table. Location perfect for the South Cliff of Scarborough. Just a very short walk from the beach and the Spa Theatre. Anne the owner was extremely helpful during the booking process and in the lead up to our arrival. We would recommend this house to any party looking for somewhere really lovely to stay in Scarborough. Thankyou Anne. From a group of very happy satisfied group of Nurses

Lovely house, perfect for a family holiday.

The house was in a great location and provided excellent accommodation for our family of nine people. The children aged 3 and 1 loved the toy room and the large kitchen was great for informal gatherings. Super bathrooms, plenty of hot water and comfortable beds. Just perfect and Anne Goode provided excellent information. Five star.

Amazing house, great position. Well equipped and so spacious, even better than we expected.

Booked for 12 (10 in the end) friends to celebrate a 60th. Couldn't have chosen better. Even the weather was fab for autumn. The only negative was that we had emailed and booked Tricolore Italian for the Saturday, months ago, however when my friend rang to double check, they claimed to have no booking, even though she had a confirmation email. We won't be going to that restaurant again!! Definitely recommend the property for large groups who want to have excellent accommodation

Spacious, homely and great location

Our experience couldn't have been better. From booking this property, communication from Anne was always quick, clear and friendly. We stayed at this property for a family weekend away, no car journeys and to just have fun together. This property more than accommodated that. Only a few minutes walk to the seafront, Tesco's and a yummy chippy! We arrived, parked easily and the property was clean and welcoming. There was plenty of room for us to socialise in the kitchen/living areas but also room for the children to play separately. This house is on 4 floors so if any of your party has difficulty with steps, this probably won't be the holiday home for you, but for us it was perfect! Thank you Anne

Superb retreat

An excellent property in a great location that sleeps a large group. The house was well equipped, spotlessly clean and spacious. The patio area also provides a private outdoor space for chilling out/BBQ. The location is within walking distance of the south beach and attractions with plenty of bars, restaurants, shops, amusements, theatre and clean beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the communication with the owner prior to our stay was excellent. I would certainly use the house again and would recommend a visit to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Goode

Host profile image
Though from Scarborough I now live in London but get back to the area often as we now own 3 holiday properties on the North Yorkshire coast. Scarborough is a wonderful town which has beautiful beaches as well as being on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.

Why they chose this property

Though Ian is a Southerner born and bred, like me he's come to love Scarborough which offers everything you could wish for: great beaches and coastal walks, proximity to some fabulous countryside, lots of entertainment and the genuine friendliness of Yorkshire people. We wanted a character property in the town and believe we've found the perfect house which has plenty of space for people to holiday together but also have their own space. It's great to be able to walk to most places and not take the car out when you're on holiday and Scarborough now has some excellent restaurants as well as the world famous Stephen Joseph Theatre (where Alan Ayckbourn premières all his plays). a bustling harbour and small marina, some lovely golf courses and now, even Europe's largest Open Air Theatre.

What makes this property unique

The house is in a wonderful location - close to both the South Beach and only a 10 minute walk to the centre of town or the railway station so it's perfect for anyone wanting to visit Scarborough by rail or who would like to be able to walk to many of Scarborough's amenities.
