Fully equipped for an amazing stay, and on a small site with all amenities you’d need. Location is fab too, with family fun activities a stones throw away. We can’t wait to come back."

"Great location for visiting Scarborough & Whitby. Bungalow in a very quiet cul-de-sac ideal for a good nights sleep. Very homely & clean, with excellent facilities and lots of room having a separate lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility & conservatory. Very handy having a second toilet off the utility. Kitchen has a combination microwave & air fryer as well as oven & hob. Washing machine was very useful having 2 children with us."
