7 of us stayed in the property and we all had plenty of solace and had the loveliest of stays. The property had everythi Positive: The property was spacious and had everything we needed, it was very well equipped. The beds were super comfy. Location was perfect. Parking permits where an added bonus am took away the stress of parking. Negative: Nothing.

ChristelleBooking.comJun 2025

Absolutely amazing house Positive: Everything was absolutely perfect! The house is incredible and spacious. Really great for a group of friends who want to spend time together, but each have their own private room. Bathrooms and showers were amazing, and the beds were very comfy. Everything was clean, and the check-in process and communications with the owners were very smooth. It's very close to the town center, beach and train station. I highly recommend a visit here!

GuestAirbnbJan 2025

Four of us stayed for 3 nights in Dale's place in Scarborough and we had a great time there. The location is great and really near all the main parts of town and easily walkable. The property is super clean and contained everything we needed for our stay. Comms were great and it was easy to check in and out. I'd definitely recommend this place for a few nights in Scarborough.

rachelBooking.comOct 2024

Brilliant House great for a friends get together. Positive: Clean tidy and has everything you need. Lovely and spacious. We had a lovely stay and would go back. Negative: The living room chairs aren’t very comfy and could do with an additional two seater settee where the bamboo chair is. There was 6 of us and we couldn’t all get comfy and watch tele. Also I think more than one key should be provided as it causes us issues on our night out. The front door can’t be locked without the key, so the ones that went back early couldn’t lock them selfs in, they had to go to bed and leave the door open for the later ones.

GuestAirbnbJul 2024

The property is absolutely fantastic. 6 of us stayed for a weekend and the house was great the location is really good there’s bars shops restaurants and takeaways all in a couple minutes walk. The seafront is only a 10 minute walk away. The house was clean and well stocked with everything you need. The very small thing that lets it down was the lack of onsite parking although the nearest car park is a couple of minutes walk I personally don’t like leaving my car away from where I’m staying.

GuestAirbnbJun 2024

Really lovely house, amazing location only 15 minutes to the beach. Great space for the 7 of us and A LOT of space within the house to relax and enjoy our stay. Would recommend to people when visiting Scarborough. Fab hosts very quick with responses. Thank you again

GuestAirbnbApr 2024

What a beautifully designed place and a functional space for the 7 of us for our short stay in Scarborough. Every detail considered and outstanding communication with Host & Stay contact and super-clear and professional details.

GuestAirbnbApr 2024

Great place to stay. We stayed as 7 friends for a weekend in Scarborough. The house is clean and well kept inside with everything you need. The house is close to restaurants and pubs and a short walk to the beach and castle. Supermarket nearby. The host was great and was really helpful. Only thing to note is the area around is not the best. Wouldnt walk around by myself. You have to park in the car park round the corner 6 pound for 24 hours which isn’t bad. Overall great for the price and would definitely stay again.

GuestAirbnbJun 2023

Very lovely and clean house for my friends and I, we had a great time and everything worked fine for us. Would recommend!

Perfect for our family. Great house and great location.

CherieBooking.comSep 2025

Excellent weeks stay here, modern, comfortable & clean. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again. Positive: Lovely comfortable clean modern house with plenty of room for 6 adults and a child. Only a short walk to town centre, beach and amenities. Parking just a 3 min walk away at Dean Road, plenty of spaces, paid for the week and could come and go as we pleased. Reasonably priced too.

SharonBooking.comJul 2025

Lovely modern, spacious comfortable home Positive: It was a spacious home to suit our family of seven travelling together. Beds comfortable. Gulls are noisy but windows must have really good glazing as if window shut properly you don’t hear them. Parking was available at a reasonable price just in the block behind accommodation, we could see our van from a bedroom window. Cooking facilities available as we used kitchen for a couple of meals. Could walk to front in about 13 minutes…longer coming uphill back. Negative: Unfortunately toaster wasn’t working properly but they did say it would be replaced. Not an issue for us as we had our grandsons to help but if you have heavy luggage there a couple of flights of stairs to top bedrooms.

alanBooking.comMay 2025

Positive: The house was spotless loved the free parking and this house had every thing you need we even had salt pepper and gravy granules and a sealed bag of ice cubes. Negative: Too many steep stairs for our elder party but you can manage. My family said even though the stairs were steep they said this accommodation is beautiful. Which I totally agree. Well done to the owners

GuestAirbnbMay 2025

Lovely house in great location. Perfect for 2 families to stay for the weekend

HeatherBooking.comFeb 2025

Brilliant stay. Really enjoyed ourselves. Perfect property for our trip. Positive: Comfortable beds, lovely decor, very clean property, lovely large bathroom. Ideal for 2 families staying with children as the bedrooms are over 2 floors. Negative: The couch downstairs was a little small

LoundsBooking.comJul 2024

Amazing , easy to get to and great location ,house was beautiful and no much space Positive: Amazing locating , comfort and space perfect for a 6 adults with a baby would highly recommend and will definitely be returning Negative: Only small issue was parking with 3 cars we had to pay in the public car park for 2 but would not put us off coming back again

GuestAirbnbApr 2023

Great place to base family of 7 for 3 night stay. House very well laid out for us and had more of the little things than most airbnb (washing up liquid, toilet paper etc)

GuestAirbnbAug 2022

Clifton House was as described. It had everything you need and in a great location with easy access to everything in Scarborough. It was a great place to stay for a family holiday. We would definitely book again.

In summary. Clean property fairly priced. Negatives: May have 8 beds but I wouldn’t recommend more than 5/6 people try using 2 bathrooms and a tiny lounge and kitchen. Bedding super cheap duvets that make you sweat. Checkout at 10am ain’t great when you have 8 people using 2 bathrooms

AMANDABooking.comSep 2023

Positive: Quiet ,spacious house in back streets. Ok for 7 people . . Spotless,simple and light modern decor.Good beds, and new bathroom. Easy walk to beaches, castle and shops. Negative: No locks on bathroom doors. V.small cafetiere and teapot for 7people. No big jug for making cocktails. Shame about plastic plants. 10 o' clock early for checkout , especially if you are only there for a weekend.

GuestAirbnbJul 2024

We stayed for my mums 60th. The location is close to town which made it very easy. The host let us stay an extra night too. The only small thing that wasn’t perfect was the extra charge for insurance on top of airbnb charges. It would be helpful for this to be made very clear on the listing. All in all a very good stay and we would return. Thanks

GuestAirbnbMay 2023

A beautifully decorated house that was welcoming and extremely clean. The table that was stocked with local attractions and things to do booklets and flyers was really helpful. It was really handy having Tescos and Aldi within walking distance of the house as well as a plethora of nearby takeaways and restaurants. Although parking was a little frustrating the host provided lots of information about parking possibilities nearby which really helped solve the parking frustration. We are an extended family of 6 who had recently lost a husband, father, and grandad and booked this weekend away to spend his first birthday together without him supporting each other during the difficult time. This was such a perfect place to be nice and really near so many great things to do as a family, which we all loved experiencing. Thank you for making a difficult time a much more beautiful time away from home with our loved ones xxx

Relaxing stop away Positive: Great location, Great set up, Lovely and Clean with a huge number of little extras to make our stay super comfy. Amazing showers! Highly recommend, we will definitely be back in the future. Negative: Only a little thing, but wasn't completely sure on how to dispose of recycling. Honestly though one of the best places have stayed in the North.

MohamedBooking.comOct 2026

Positive: Close to North bay and shops Negative: Outdated property images, no outside images to make an informed decision.

GuestAirbnbSep 2026

We had a great stay. The house was clean. And the showers were amazing! Beds were comfy too. Location was convenient

franBooking.comSep 2026

It was ok base for a couple of days, photos make it look better than it was. Positive: shower pressure was good. Negative: Photos make it look considerably better than it was. Clean in parts not in others. Generally very tired.

Positive: Great location 2 toilets 2 showers comfy beds all you need Negative: Had to pay 25 pound to park on a public. Carpark for 3 days No curtains just blinds in bedrooms so lot of sunlght early doors Only other thing which is nothing to do with the house is bring earplugs to sleep in due to tbe seagulls they can get out of hand

Enjoyed our stay. Positive: Easy to find , comfortable beds , very clean all amenities you need for a stay. Negative: Location but only two nights stay so that was fine.

GuestAirbnbJun 2026

lovely little place, spotless, great links to city, could complain at all

GuestAirbnbMay 2026

Went on holiday with friends and this place was perfect for our needs. Not faraway from public transport, 10min walk from shops and the town centre. The place itself is clean, comfortable, the bathroom is big, kitchen is well equipped and lounge is comfortable. The hosts are quick to respond to any questions. We really enjoyed our time would love to come back!

KarenBooking.comFeb 2026

We really enjoyed our stay, the house was lovely. Positive: Clean, comfortable, well equipped, lots of space, great location. Nearby carpark. Negative: It was very cold when we arrived & took a while to heat the house, it would have been a nice touch if the hosts had turned the heating on before our arrival. An extra comfy seat in the living room would be more usable than the rattan chair

Nice holiday home. Lovely rooms and interior. Very clean. Parked in local car park very near to the house - could actually see the car park from the house. Host was friendly and responsive to questions.

JulieBooking.comJun 2025

Fantastic property! Positive: We loved this beautiful house, it was spotless! We loved the comfy beds, and the soft sheets! A lovely home from home, very well equipped, and the owners had thought of everything. Lovely decor and furnishings made it a delightful stay for us all, thank you! This property is a short 15 minute taxi ride away from the fabulous Wolds Restaurant in Flixton where we enjoyed a fabulous meal together for our second night. What a beautiful part of the world this is! We would have no hesitation in booking this property again! Lovely hosts who kept us well informed and offered any help we might require, thank you so much. Negative: Nothing! It was well placed to walk to the Open Air Theatre and a 10-15 minute walk from the Railway Station!

Great stay in a clean and well equipped house. Positive: The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and lovely bedding. The whole house was clean and well equipped. Negative: It would benefit from a couple more comfy chairs/extra sofa in the living room.

RachaelBooking.comSep 2024

Positive: Location was good. House big enough for the 3 of us. Rooms nice and spacious. Negative: Attention to detail on cleaning was poor. Towels could have been of better quality. Only one tea towel for 4 days. Couple of maintenance issues.

GuestAirbnbJul 2024

It was a well-located property with a short walk to the main shopping areas. The property was easy to find and there was paid parking close by. Communications with the host were fantastic and all enmities were as described, the beds were comfortable too. The only thing I would suggest is that a physical welcome pack/set of instructions in the property could be used to replace the numerous post-it notes stuck in various areas. Although informative, they take the shine off a little.

LaurenBooking.comApr 2024

Very enjoyable lovely house would definitely return Positive: Very clean lovely decor and lots of extra useful items in the house Negative: On arrival we wasn’t too sure about the area but it was quiet and no problems at all so really didn’t matter car park was literally just behind and nice walk to the seafront

RosieBooking.comMar 2024

Positive: Clean and comfy beds.

GuestAirbnbOct 2023

The house was as described, with great amenities. Our host was very helpful when we struggled to park due to some roadworks outside the property. Perfect base for a weekend in Scarborough

rkniBooking.comSep 2023

Great stay spotlessly clean Positive: brand new interior extremely comfortable bed close to car park Negative: nothing it was great

GuestAirbnbAug 2023

Lovely spacious and clean house. Nice touches for example hairdryer in each room. Tea and coffee left for you. The only negatives were the lock where the key should have been kept was accessed why we were out as it was wide open when we came back (key safe) luckily we kept the key with us. The area seemed a little unsafe and we were being watched a lot from houses across the rd when we were going out. Also we were told where to park and paid £9 for 24 hours then when we got to the house there were passes we could have used to park on the road! So we paid £36 parking between us when we needn’t have so communication about this would have been helpful. The house was very clean and well looked after. Just a shame about those few issues

GuestAirbnbSep 2022

Very clean and comfortable sleeping for 4 adults - six in the lounge end of the through lounge was a bit of a squeeze but fine. Scarborough isn’t the most affluent of towns and it shows a bit but location was just 10 mins from either beach.

markBooking.comAug 2022

I would go back, local area in need of some regeneration though Positive: very clean good spec really nice property in easy walking distance to both bays. Negative: needed more storage in downstairs bathroom, day 1 massive domestic on the street where a man fell out of the window and proceeded to threaten everyone and his ex including pulling off drain pipe etc.

GuestAirbnbJul 2022

Had a great time in Scarborough. Property was clean and well equipped. Great location for all amenities. One little thing is to improve the outdoor seating area.

GuestAirbnbJul 2022

A well equipped, and recently renovated house with 2 double bedrooms, 2 twin bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and living/dining area. Comfy beds and clean spaces. Host & Stay who manage the property were very helpful and easy to deal with - we left something behind and they organised posting it to us very easily. It is not the most salubrious part of Scarborough, but there's a Tesco Express and a decent coffee place within a minute's walk, and it's only a 5-10 min walk into town. It worked very well for us.
