It was exactly as pictured and as we had 12 adults for my 50th birthday it was ideal and we actually spent more time there than we had planed. Tesco express across the road and any food u could think within 100 yards. Pub on the corner was brilliant and very friendly. No distance to town. We all had an incredible time. Only small thing we found was key pad entry was temperamental but as half our group were joiners we didnât have any problems. Canât rate our time there enough

The large lounge comfortably sat twelve people, as did the large dining table. The kitchen was generally well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses cutlery etc. We were missing a fish slice and the tin opener was impossible to use. It would also have been useful to have some spare bin liners.

We all had a great time in this well equipped house which is in a great spot to explore Scarborough by foot. We went to Tikka Tikka just down the road on new years day for a meal and the food and service were great so would recommend a trip there too.
