The Barn in Scarborough is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the ample communal areas, outdoor play space, and well-equipped kitchen. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as clean and welcoming. No negative comments about cleanliness suggest a high standard is maintained.
The location is frequently highlighted as perfect, with its proximity to Scarborough and lovely views. The ease of access to local attractions contributes to its high rating.
The property is noted for its comfort, especially for large groups, with spacious rooms and cosy communal areas. However, one mention of a stiff tap and an ill-fitting shower hose indicates some room for improvement.
Facilities like the games room and outdoor play area are well-received, but some incomplete games and maintenance issues like a non-working dishwasher and shabby paintwork slightly lower the score.
While guests are pleased with the provision of amenities like shower gel and shampoo, there are no mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
As well as being near the coast, this property is within easy reach to enjoy some of Yorkshire’s cities, including York and Leeds.. All on the

We had a lovely couple of night at the barn we only stayed for two nights as we had to be back for our little girl going back to school on the Monday, the house was clean and very homely and had everything that we needed only downside was that the dish washer wasn't working! The location was perfect with just a ten minute drive into ScarboroughWould definitely recommend and visit again

Excellent family cottage!

The Barn was a perfect place for 10 of us to stay in. It is spacious and we loved the communal dining and living areas. Our 3 Grandchildren enjoyed the outdoor play area very much (aged 2, 5 and 7), but the indoor games room had a trunk with incomplete games, and jumbled up jigsaws (probably more of a reflection of previous users disregard and poor respect for the things provided). Overall, we had a very happy time. The kitchen was well equipped and the 2 fridge/freezers met our needs very well. Can’t beat the location and we would love to come back again.
