Cottage vacation rentals in Scarborough District

This was a very cosy cottage in a great location. We chose Pickering as it was very central to all the places we wanted to see in North Yorkshire (Moors, Coast), everything was within a short drive (from 10 to 35 mins), so the location is perfect, with so much to see around the area. The cottage itself is very quaint and cosy and has everything you need. We used the hot tub a few times and this was a nice treat. The host, Tim, was extrememely helpful and helped us with parking information etc. We would definitely recommend this place. It is great for visiting the North Yorkshire moors, some pretty village nearby (Thornton Le Dale, Hutton le Hole, Helmsley) also Eden Camp, Ampleforth Abbey, Nunnington Hall, Ryedale Folk museum, as well as Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay on the coast. We stopped in York on the way up but thought we could have easily stayed here longer and done a couple of day trips to York.

3 Railway Cottage is a fantastic base to explore the amazing beauty of North Yorkshire. The cottage is located a 20 minute walk from the centre of Pickering but is in a really quiet and private location. The only exception of course is the opportunity to wave at the heritage railway trains that pass at the back of the cottage a few times a day which is really amazing, especially if you wave from the comfort of the hot tub! I can’t recommend this location highly enough, it is a really comfortable and well equipped cottage in a fantastic location - what more could you ask for?

We have just returned from a wonderful trip. The house was exactly as described, fully equipped, very friendly neighbours and loved the hot tub. Found some nice walks from the house and easy driving to the many delightful beaches and towns in the area. The local pub is a 10 minute walk with friendly staff, lovely beer garden and pub classics type menu. Would highly recommend this little gem. Thanks Dawn 😁

Lovely cottage in a great location. Walking the surrounding area from the house was great and very near to a pub and tearoom which both served great food. The hot tub was an added bonus!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely holiday home which is in a stunning location overlooking Robin Hoods Bay. It really was an unbeatable location. Steve was a fantastic host, giving us all the information we needed about the property and location. He also left us some welcome extras in the fridge 😊 The property was clean and well presented, and the hot tub and snooker room were enjoyable extras. We would happily return to this beautiful, peaceful spot in the future.

Really enjoyable stay. Everything was perfect, and I would return if I were back in the area. The location was peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful nature — exactly what I was hoping for. The space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

Lovely relaxing cottage with everything we needed. Very cosy and relaxing setting with great views from back windows. Enclosed garden for dog or children. Hot tub was a great perk which was well used by us. Rillington village within 10 min walk which had a small shop and a nice pub ( the fleece). Tips for other travellers The fleece in rillington has a nice garden of weather nice and the food was nice too and dog friendly Ham and cheese which is a 5 minute drive the food was very good and dog friendly too although probably too far to walk Lots of walks nearby, we went to dalby Forrest, mallyham spout in goathland and Levisham near Pickering New Connie’s Chinese in malton was also very good

Amazing Stay at The Old Potting Shed! This break was a last minute booking for us and really exceeded our expectations. The old potting shed is a beautiful accommodation, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The hosts James and Rachel could not have been more responsive or more friendly. I had mentioned it was my birthday and the property was decorated with balloons, chocolates and prosecco. We had fresh eggs in the morning from their hens which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Every utensil you could think of was provided, it really was a little home from home! Location was just a short drive into York but there are some nice walks nearby. We also enjoyed the local village pub which was just at the end of the long driveway, food and drinks were delicious. Overall I’m so glad we found this place, it’s a credit to the hosts. We have recommended to family and friends and can’t wait to return. Thanks again for your hospitality James & Rachel x

The coziest Airbnb I have ever stayed it. It was perfect!!!!! Lovely cottage. Cozy beds. Amazing bathroom. Great location. I would give this Airbnb 6/5 stars if I could.

This was my second stay - just as lovely as before, very clean, comfy and in a lovely location equally convenient for the town centre and the castle (up and down the hill). Clemmie is a great host - responsive and helpful.

We loved our stay here as a family with two young children (toddler and under 1) and a dog. The location was perfect, with a short nip up the hill into town and so close to the beach. The house had everything we needed - Joe & Sarah made it very comfortable for us and easy to travel by providing a high chair and travel cot. Parking on the road (in June) was easy during the week, had to wait a little longer for a space close by at the weekend (but we always managed to get one). We hope to return when we visit Filey again.

We found 'Just Beachy' a lovely place to stay, it is close to everything Scarborough has to offer, clean and tidy, beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a short break. Checking in was easy with the use of a lock box that was easily accessible. Would recommend.

Hill top cottage was amazing it was everything and more, the cottage had everything you needed for your stay. absolutely spotless well maintained, the views were amazing so peaceful, we really felt at home. we didn't want to leave.

We rented this place for a long weekend for Father’s Day. It was absolutely ideal for our needs. It is in walking distance to Scarborough’s front and provided some epic views out the window. Parking is at an absolute premium in Scarborough and while parking permits were provided, finding a place to park is a challenge. However we did manage to find a spot (probably didn’t help that we arrived quite late on a Friday evening). I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Scarborough and be right where everything is. It’s all a walkable distance.

Such a lovely host - made us feel very welcome and baked us a lovely cake. Plenty of room for the dog and nice walks straight from the door. Great location for the cost and Whitby along with the moors - but a peaceful rural location. Would recommend!

Great cottage! Direct Access to public footpaths along the coastline. Center of Baytown easy accessible as well. We had a great time in feathers Nest.

Saltwater cottage was absolutely fantastic! In the perfect spot near the harbour, it’s literally steps away from the best spot to watch the sun going down over the beautiful cliffs surrounding a Staithes. The cottage was squeaky clean and had everything we needed for a fab stay. Bed was super comfy and cosy shower was perfect and living room lovely to sit with a glass of wine. We ate in the Cod & Lobster and the Royal George both were great. Lovely cliff walk to Runswick Bay is also recommended. Staithes is a really stunning village and we’ll definitely be back to stay at Saltwater cottage!

Beautiful cottage in a great location for walking and visiting castles and national trust places. Would definitely recommend.

What a lovely place to stay. Just had four nights at Keepers Cottage and it was perfect. The accommodation comprises of a lounge/dining room, small kitchen and outside seating area. Upstairs there is a spacious bedroom with double bed and a bathroom with shower. There is also a little room off the bathroom which houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. The property was beautifully clean, fresh towels and bedding were provided. It felt comfortable and cosy, just perfect for two. There is a space at the rear of the property to park your car. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, it is about five minutes walk to the Post Gate Inn, which does excellent food. There is also the Horseshoe Hotel, within easy walking distance along the road, or over the stepping stones. The Witching Post and Wheatsheaf are about five minutes drive away up a very steep hill. It’s a handy place to visit nearby attractions like Goathland, Grosmont, Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay.

We’ve just returned from a fantastic week at Jane’s cottage in Robin Hood’s Bay and couldn’t be happier. The cottage is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equipped with everything a family could need. It was the perfect base for exploring the coast – peaceful, cosy, and full of charm. Jane was a wonderful host, and everything was spotless on arrival. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Five stars all the way – we’ll be back as soon as we can!

Our second stay in this beautiful holiday home. Immaculately presented and lovely hosts. Great location, quiet but ideal for walkers and those on driving holidays. Also excellent for any one with mobility problems. Handy for Dalby Forest, Whitby, Pickering, Scarborough and the many lanes less travelled, fabulous scenic views and picturesque villages that North Yorkshire Moors has to offer. Also handy for the North Yorks Steam Railway. Our favourite and most perfect holiday haven and we will return again in the future.

The house in Robin Hoods Bay provided the perfect place for a family holiday. Ideally located in the lower bay near to the beach. Parking nearby a real bonus. It was more spacious than expected and characterfully decorated. The top floor boat bed was a delight. The well equipped kitchen allowed enjoyable meal preparation. Good quality bed linen and towels. If returning to RHB wouldn’t look to stay anywhere else.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Extremely tranquil and relaxing, very clean, not too expensive. The surrounding forest is breathtaking and the hosts extremely nice, we appreciate all the recommendations for activities in the area. Most importantly, couldn't imagine a better place to take our dog to. 10/10

Rebecca's cottage is a wonderful home from home. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for a weekend visit or a longer stay. The beds are super comfy. The cottage location is amazing with everything in walking distance. Rebecca was a 1st class host, any questions were answered almost immediately. Rebecca even messaged to say we could check in early. Would i stay at the cottage again...100% i would
