Snaptrip says

Castle View in Scarborough is a spacious and well-equipped cottage that has received praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. While some guests noted issues with the neighbourhood and maintenance, the property's ample room and central location for exploring the town and beach are consistently appreciated.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as very clean, which suggests high standards of cleanliness are maintained.

The central location is convenient for accessing local amenities on foot, though some guests have raised concerns about the immediate neighbourhood, which affects the score.

The property is frequently described as comfortable and spacious, suitable for large groups, which indicates a high level of comfort for guests.

Facilities are generally praised, especially for large groups, but there are mentions of maintenance issues such as a lack of hot water and a noisy fridge, which slightly lowers the score.

Guests appreciate the welcome pack and festive touches, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this is reflected in the score.

About this property

Perched in the bustling seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, is this superb mid-terrace Victorian townhouse, Castle View. Offering a large group or family of 14 the best of both worlds with a good selection of beautiful beaches and the stunning scenery of the North York Moors National Park right on your doorstep, whilst the interior has been beautifully restored to the highest of standards and peppered with period features. Look forward to impressing your guests with delicious feasts whipped up in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher for quick clean-ups! Tuck-in to your meal at the dining table for 12 as you recount the days adventures over celebratory bottles of fizz. On warmer days, why not fire up the barbecue in the rear, enclosed yard, where your canine companions can run and play? After dinner, climb the stairs up to the first floor sitting room, where you can sink into the plush sofas and select a family favourite from the TV, or challenge your loved ones to a game on the Xbox or Nintendo Wii. There is also an alluring woodburning stove, sure to be your pooch’s favourite spot! After a day on the beach, wash off sandy toes with a refreshing shower, or treat tired muscles to a soak in the bath after hiking through the moors. On the first-floor, you will discover three well-appointed bedrooms, two king-size and a family room with king-size and a single, whilst the second-floor offers a twin with two pull-out beds and an additional family room with double and single. Right on your doorstep, you will find a wealth of shops, pubs and restaurants, including sampling fresh seafood at the Marisco Lounge or traditional pub grub at The Scarborough Arms. The thriving town offers something for everyone, with the historic delights of Scarborough Castle and the Rotunda Museum for history buffs, the scenic walking trails of the Cleveland Way and Cinder Track for keen walkers and cyclists or the fun-filled amusements of Luna Park and Alpamare for family days out. Other attractions within the town include the popular Scarborough Open Air Theatre, the Scarborough North Bay Railway, the picturesque Peasholm Park and the excellent Scarborough North Cliff Golf Club. Those craving more of the outdoors will delight at the surroundings of the North York Moors National Park, where you can soak up the views from Ingleby Incline and The Wainstones or venture further afield to visit the sights of Rievaulx Terrace and Abbey, along with Mount Grace Priory. The popular destination of Whitby is within easy reach, here you can take in the panoramic views from the top of the 199 Steps, marvel at the Gothic wonder of Whitby Abbey, embark on the Dracula Experience, or spend a day of Whitby Beach where you can hook your catch of the day along the West Pier. With easy access to the spectacular countryside and many attractions, Castle View will not disappoint.

Scarborough, a bustling seaside town popular since Victorian times, has preserved many of its original fine buildings, parks, and gardens, as well as its historic castle perched atop a cliff above the city. Families and small children alike enjoy the sandy beaches of North Bay and South Bay, both of which have stretches of golden sand. The Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa, and Scarborough Open Air Theatre, where you can see live music, are just a few of the many family-friendly activities and attractions in Scarborough. Scarborough is a great location for outdoor activities, with golf courses, beautiful coastal walks along the Cleveland Way, stunning cycle routes such as the old railway to Whitby, beautiful sailing, and championship-quality surfing all within a short distance of one another. Scarborough is a destination that has something for everyone if you add in the usual seaside entertainment and bustling promenades located close to the beach. Scarborough is an ideal location for a fun-filled vacation because of its proximity to the coast and the moors.

    ! We booked the property for a long weekend with family and it was perfect. It all makes for a very sociable place and suited our needs exactly!! The location made everything accessible and the inside of the house was of such a high standard. We loved it and will definitely be returning.

    Not a problem for us but you may want to get it looked at. Thankyou - the pictures don’t do the house justice

  • Linda

    Family meet up of 3 generations all enjoyed this lovely home. The Welcome pack was unexpected & was a lovely gesture. We were worried about the parking as we had brought 2 cars, but had no difficulty finding spaces. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. Linda Neill
