Property Details

The bedroom features a double bed boasting premium bed linens and plush bedding to ensure you have the best sleep possible.

Modern and clean, the apartment’s bathroom has a bathtub with overhead shower, a WC and a basin.

Head outside and you’ll discover a back garden of which the top terrace is exclusively for our guests to use. This terrace is gravelled and has potted plants, whilst also catching the sun all afternoon until early evening making it the perfect spot to relax on the seating provided. Turn right out of the back gate and it is only a ten minute walk to the seafront!

Neighborhood
Located in the seaside town of Scarborough, The Garden Flat is a short walk to all of the attractions. Packed with seaside charm, you’ll find plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes to discover as well as arcades and ice cream parlours.

There are a number of beaches for you to choose from. The popular South Bay is a sun trap and close to the hustle and bustle of the town centre. North Bay has been accredited with Blue Flag status meaning it’s one of the best beaches in Europe! Cayton Bay is the quietest of the three and boasts a sweeping bay with a rural feel. Lastly Cornelian Bay is the remotest and hardest to get to but it’s a hidden gem and often empty.

Ideal for all weathers, there are lots of indoor attractions in Scarborough for the whole family. Head to Sea Life Sanctuary to see seals, penguins, sharks, turtles and more or Scarborough Castle to explore its 3000 year history. If it’s outdoor fun you’re looking for, The Open Air Theatre is a short 20 minute walk from the house where you can see amazing bands, singers and comedians. There is also the Sky Trail Adventure and Peasholm Park nearby.

Getting Around
The Garden Flat is within walking distance of Scarborough town centre and within 1 hours’ drive time of Staithes, Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and Filey.

The flat was lovely and comfortable, it had everything we needed, lovely outside area which has the sun all day and evening. Would definitely recommend it. The toilet seat was positioned to far forward for male use.

It was very spacious, well equipped, warm and comfortable. Able to park close by. The 12 steps leading down to the flat. I think these should have been mentioned in the description.

Lovely flat. Clean, well appointed, homely, warm. Excellent location for both town and sea front. We are walkers, and its a great starting point for the coastal paths. In 3 days we managed 42 miles on various sections of the Cleveland Way. Would deffo go back - excellent all round.

Nice flat, comfy rooms, very spacious. Very pleased to have a bath, and also parking directly outside. Location just right for quietness and close enough for the town and beach. Really enjoyed our stay.

Tge locked box housing the keys was good … A towel in the kitchen would ve been a bonus .. I wasn t happy with tge cleaning , the cob webs in the kitchen and the dust was awful in the lounge , tge skirting boards hasn t been dusted in a while !!! Either .. the mugs were soo stained too .. I left them out for the cleaners to sort them out , but if they didn t , I woukdn t know .. but if you get complaints , you ll know !!! You need to make sure that the stair s are mentioned as the access , as I hadn t noticed about stairs to door , and I struggled as I m disabled ..

Nice big garden/basement flat, in a quiet street only about 10 minutes away from South Bay Beach, a big Tesco, and only a couple of minutes more to the town centre. The bed was very comfy (even though it was a bit short, if I had to guess, I would say 140x180 cm, so probably a bit of a tight fit for two people). The kitchen is quite big, toaster, stove, kettle etc. were working fine, kitchen chairs were a bit uncomfortable, though. A washing machine and dryer were present, as I didn't use them I don't know if they work. All in all I had a nice stay. There were quite a lot of spiderwebs to be found in the flat, e.g, on the upper edge of the bathroom window, underneath a kitchen shelf, behind a trunk in the living room. I also had a spider crawling on my towel in the bathroom when I grabbed it to dry myself! So careful with booking if you are afraid of spiders! You can also hear the people in the flat above talking quite clearly, so I would guess they can hear people in the garden flat talking/moving around as well.

We have just spent 6 nights in the garden flat, Scarborough. It was a very comfortable stay. It has everything to make your trip relaxing and stress free. Good location. Near the train station and local buses to explore the area. Would recommend staying here to family and friends. Thank you

Gorgeous apartment and lovely garden. Quite location, with a short scenic walk into the centre & beach. Nr train station. Second year we've stayed here and will again ! Not connected with the apartment, but problems paying Insurance via a separate company. Happened last year and again this year, so an issue which needs addressing as very time consuming trying to resolve. Only made the effort because the apartment is so lovely and wanted to stay there again, so Please for guests make Insurance within the actual price. Far easier and uncomplicated for guests

Great place to stay, lots of space, convinient location but not great if you have mobility issues due to lot if steps. Homely, comfortable and had everything we needed for a week stay. Bed and sofas were comfy, kitchen well appointed. We had a wonderful stay and would 100% stay here again.

The property was clean and tidy. It was in a good location. The fact we were charged a £10 non refundable administration charge which was not mentioned.

Host and Stay is unresponsive. You are actually talking to a bot. The answers are premanufactured. After booking you are required to do a verification process which will cost you a further 10 euros or you can buy an insurance for another few bucks. These unexpected verification process should be already done in the booking process. If you have booked but didnt do the verification process because the verification process mail is sent only after few hours later. Personally when i booked an airbnb I have no time to recheck my booking. This verification mail request is an automated mail which I didnt really care much only to know this was a prequisite to enter the apartment or you wont get any check in info. Secondly when I entered the kitchen ware was dirty. The pans were still oily and on some kettles we found a hair inside. The apartment itself is under ground floor and is connected to an apartment on ground floor where kids are running. So quiet noisy.

A nice place to stay. Nice location, nice space, a little bit tired in places, but nothing that would put me off staying there again. Can't say I liked handing over a £250 security deposit for a while and paying £10 for the privilege. I didn't think it would bother me, but it did. Feels like being minorly gouged by a cheap airline. I do on occasions travel with the cheap airline as they sometimes are the only one who can take me to where I want to go. However the hosting company here do not have that advantage, so I won't stay in any of their properties again, sadly including this one.

A wonderful grounds floor flat with garden. The flat is well located within Scarborough and is in a nice quiet street. We thought the faculties and comfort of the flat were great. We would have liked to have seen some salt and pepper/oil available but isn’t a big issue. It is a shame about the mandatory £10, which for me is a hidden fee from Airbnbs payment and isn’t really necessary. I still haven’t received my deposit back either after a week, so would have been 5* if not for these final two issues.

Everywhere was spacious and very clean Very satisfied with the parking of our car. The location was really good not far to walk to the shops and attractions. Wasn't to keen on the steps leading down to the entrance to the property but ok when we got used to them and appreciated the lighting that helped us to get down the steps In the dark

Absolutely loved the place, so so gorgeous and spacious!!! Incredibly clean and well laid out. About 5mins walk from the beach and there’s a super friendly pub just a minute from the location that people should check out. Such an amazing place, was genuinely sad to leave but will definitely be back.

Excellent flat in a great location south side of Scarborough, in a lovely quiet area with a couple of local pubs/bars nearby. Beautiful living room, big kitchen and really comfortable bed. Would highly recommend, wished we could have stayed longer but just a short trip this time. Will be returning in the future ?
