No fuss. No over-promising. Just somewhere you’ll want to return to.

Absolutely fantastic holiday home, absolutely spotlessly clean, fantastic large kitchen with everything you will ever need, double oven, however one side didn’t close properly, was reported to homeowner, didn’t affect our stay. Comfortable lounge, with large tv on wall, also games room was great especially if you have children. King size bed was so comfortable, shower was also great, with lots of pressure. Loki our cockapoo loved the garden. Thank you for a lovely stay, and the welcome pack, of bread, milk, and some lovely cupcakes were fantastic. Hoping to return

Very well presented and clean property. Welcome pack was appreciated after a long journey, thank you. Information folder gave all the details you needed except when to put out the appropriate bin for collection, we managed by observing the local properties. We would suggest that a grab rail is provided in the shower area, this would be a useful addition. Our little dog enjoyed exploring the large back garden so that added to our overall holiday pleasure.

Really enjoyed our holiday The standards are very high in cleanliness and the cottage is well equipped It is obvious that the owners have put a lot of thought into this and it is very much appreciated especially the welcome pack We have already booked for next year.

This is a lovely large property with good gardens to sit in on a sunny day. It’s only a short drive to Scarborough. The house was well equipped with all the essentials, and we were left a lovely welcome pack (the cake was lovely). It was spotlessly clean. And this is an excellent base to get to Whitby and Filey both only 30 mins ish drive. All in all a lovely stay at a lovely house (I could easily have stayed another week). We will be booking again very soon for next year.

Lovely comfortable property. Well equipped with all that you need. The bed was super comfy after a long day exploring. We had taken our slow cooker but there was one in the property. Close to all areas and a steady walk into town. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Properly dog-friendly, not just a pet-friendly cottage.

If you’re bringing the dog, it needs to work for them as much as it does for you.

The garden is fully enclosed, so they can wander safely. There are walks straight from the door, and plenty more along the coast and nearby countryside. After a day out, there’s space to settle back in without feeling on top of each other.

It’s the kind of place where the dog relaxes as quickly as you do.

Beach days, moorland walks and evenings around the table. The Firs was made for family weeks like this.

There’s space to spread out, and just as easy to come together.

The kitchen and dining area works properly for shared meals, the games room keeps things ticking over on quieter days, and the garden gives the kids room to run without worry. You’re close enough to the coast for easy days out, but far enough out to come back to somewhere calm.

A week that feels easy, not overplanned.

Right where you want to be

Scalby gives you that balance most places don’t.

You’re five minutes from Scarborough and the beaches, but far enough out to avoid the noise. Walks start from the door, whether you head towards the coast or up onto the moors, and places like Whitby and Filey are easy day trips.

Head out when you want to. Come back when you’ve had enough.
