Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously commend the property for its spotless condition, indicating meticulous attention to cleanliness. The consistent mention of cleanliness in the reviews supports a near-perfect score.
The property's location is frequently highlighted as ideal, being within easy walking distance to the beach, town centre, and local amenities. The convenience of the location contributes to a high score.
Comfort is praised, with guests finding the property spacious and well-suited for large groups. However, a few comments about difficult showers and the need for fans during humid nights slightly affect the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample entertainment options. The absence of a washing machine, despite being advertised, and minor maintenance issues with showers slightly lower the score.
The hosts are noted for their thoughtfulness, with special touches like decorations and biscuits. While such gifts enhance the experience, they are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Resting in Scarborough, a bustling town on the cusp of the North York Moors National Park is 5 Westwood Road, a fabulous five-bedroom home. Offering flexible sleeping arrangements, a private garden, and a well-equipped kitchen, whilst positioned near a host of amenities, attractions and the beach, the property offers the ideal base for a large group break, inviting ten guests. Park up on the private, gated driveway before entering the homely sitting room, perfect for relaxing from after a day of exploration. Head into the kitchen to whip up some delicious meals, before gathering around the dining table, enjoying views out to the decked area. Venture through the patio doors to enjoy an alfresco evening on the decking area. Return indoors to refresh in the bathroom, complete with both a roll-top bath and walk-in shower, ahead of resting your eyes in one of five well-presented bedrooms; select from a king-size with en-suite, three doubles, and a twin. Awaken to a coffee in the rear garden before preparing for an itinerary brimming with coastal activities, starting with a stroll through the Italian Gardens, leading you towards Scarborough Spa's Cliff Lift for elevated views of the town, or perhaps venture to the remains of Scarborough Castle, before enjoying a leisurely afternoon at either South Bay Beach, Scarborough Art Gallery, or SEA LIFE Scarborough. Heading towards Pickering, stop off at Go Ape Dalby for a thrill-seeking activity, or immerse yourself in the outdoors with a hike through Chafer Wood, before boarding the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for a whistle-stop tour. Complete your getaway at Whitby and its plethora of attractions, with Whitby Abbey, the 199 Steps, Whitby Sea Front, and Pannett Park being firm favourites, following the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast back to your abode. Experience all of this at 5 Westwood Road.
The bustling coastal town of Scarborough, which has been a favourite since the Victorian era, still has many of the original excellent structures, parks, and gardens, as well as its iconic castle that towers over the community. Two outstanding sections of lovely, golden sand beaches in North Bay and South Bay are very well-liked by families with young children. Numerous family-friendly activities are available, as well as several top-notch tourist attractions for adults, such as the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa, and the Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music.

Owner contacted us before departure to give us all instructions on arrival with lock box and WiFi codes. House so clean and excellent amenities. Only thing missing was a washing machine and tumble dryer but minor thing. Shame about the weather as decking and garden seating were fabulous. Excellent accommodation. Would certainly return to this property.
