If you are unsure about booking. Then don't be. The cottage is exceptionally well looked after and wants for nothing. Comfortable and well appointed within the town with parking for 2 cars an absolute bonus. Kate thank you for letting us stay at your lovely property and for answering promptly all my questions.

We really loved staying at this lovely cosy cottage, had everything you could possibly need, very comfy beds, loved the spacious attic bedroom. Great parking at the back of the property. Kate the owner kept in touch and left a lovely basket of goodies for us, which was so nice. Walking distance to the beach and activities. Would definitely recommend 😊

The accommodation is so perfect that we will be booking again next year. First class accommodation with every comfort and appliances in luxury home. The cottage is super clean and spacious. The situation is second to none. It is just on the edge of the busy shopping streets but in a quiet area. I have also made friend with the neighbours which shows it is a family and safe area. There is a garden which is lovely for an al fresco drink and for the children. The parking for at least 2 or 3 cars is very unusual for the centre of Scarborough and make all the difference for loading and unloading.
It is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in.
The owner's response was prompt for any enquiries we had. The directions and explanation for entry and leaving were clear so no problems whatsoever. I thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Excellent
Had a lovely few days at the cottage. Equipped with everything you need and very clean. Good communication with owner very helpful parking space a god send due to the narrow streets and limited parking.
Only one little problem I have a bad knee and found the stairs hard work but should have realised by the age of the cottage but still had a good holiday

Lovely stay in a quaint old cottage with all mod cons!
We had a great week at Gowland Cottage. Brilliant location for both North and South Bays. Equipped with everything we needed. Good wifi. Everything to hand. The stairs are steep both in the house and in the back garden but that's Scarborough!

Perfect relaxing get away.
We had a lovely time staying at Gowland cottage. We travelled from Cambridgeshire and the others came from Scotland so it was a half way point for us. It was a perfect location close to the Castle and a brilliant play area for the children with very easy access to the North beach and close to the Market for lovely food!
The house is interesting with a great history and is very well equipped with everything you could need even for six people. The little garden was a perfect spot for the Prosecco!
Kate was excellent in dealing with our queries and always replied very promptly. All in all we had a lovely time.

Lovely cottage in a good location
From the time of booking onwards all communications with Kate have been very friendly, accommodating and prompt.
The cottage itself is attractive and comfortable in a good location with easy access to the main areas of Scarborough. It contains everything you could possibly need to have a relaxing week and certainly is home from home.
The little courtyard garden is a great bonus especially on those sunny afternoons, and it is a delight watching the many birds making their daily visits from the kitchen window.
The car park is also a valuable addition as parking seems to at a premium in this corner of town.
I would thoroughly recommend staying at Gowland Cottage

Lovely house in a great location
We had a great time at Gowland Cottage. It is close to both beaches, the castle and the best shops and restaurants. The check in was flawless and it had spacious private parking. Great start to our holiday.

Amazing location!
This cottage was everything we had hoped for. Short walk (literally a few minutes even with a 6 and 3 year old) to each of the bays and the castle so we could leave the car in the off road parking. Really well-equipped cottage - every implement you could hope for is in that kitchen. We loved the buckets, spades and fishing nets left in the back garden and used them on several trips to the beach. Loads of towels and good quality bed linen on all the beds. The welcome pack was much appreciated - lovely touch! If we ever come to Scarborough again we would definitely stay here again. I would heartily recommend it to everyone.
