Guests say
Woodside Cottage in Scarborough receives high praise for its comfort, cleanliness, and location. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including welcome packs and dog treats. The cottage is well-equipped, though a few mentioned the lack of a washing machine. It's ideal for dog owners, with easy access to walks and a cosy atmosphere enhanced by a wood burner.
Guests consistently note the cottage's immaculate condition and spotlessness. One review mentioned a smell and some cleanliness issues with bedding and utensils, but this seems an isolated incident against the backdrop of otherwise glowing cleanliness reports.
The cottage's location is frequently praised for its quietness and convenience for both coastal and moor visits. Its central position to various attractions in Yorkshire is a highlight, although no specific negative comments provide a contrast.
Many reviews commend the cottage for its comfortable furnishings and cosy atmosphere. The beds and living spaces are mentioned positively, with only minor comments about creaking beds and a damp feel on arrival, which was quickly resolved.
The cottage is celebrated for being well-equipped and thoughtfully appointed. However, several guests noted the absence of a washing machine, which slightly detracts from the overall facilities score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome packs, dog treats, and other small touches. While these are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.
