    “An absolutely delightful property, out in the countryside and was just so quiet and peaceful, but with all the amenities Scarborough has to offer just a short drive away!”

    The cottage is like the Tardis, looked cute and small from the front but opened right up inside, the welcome basket was a lovely touch, for both us and the dogs! All in all a very well thought out and comfortable cottage, the jewel in the crown being the rather lovely hot tub! We will definitely be making a return booking, thank you Paul for a very relaxing weekend break! A+++++

After enjoying the open countryside views, be welcomed into a well-presented property, housing all the essentials for a week-long stay with your partner.

The interior is completed by a charming double bedroom, which is benefitted by a double bed and a delightful interior design, as well as a stylish shower room with a wonderful retro tile design to enjoy.
