Guests say
Castle View Cabin in Scarborough is praised for its stunning views, cosy atmosphere, and wildlife-rich surroundings. Guests appreciate the warm welcome from the host, James, and the cabin's peaceful location. While some guests mention minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment of the natural beauty of North York Moors & Coast.
Most guests found the cabin to be clean and cosy, though there were a few mentions of areas that could benefit from deeper cleaning or attention. Some guests reported issues such as cobwebs and dead insects, which slightly affected the overall perception of cleanliness.
The cabin's location is highly praised for its breathtaking views, proximity to Scarborough, and access to local walks and wildlife. The peaceful and idyllic setting is a highlight for many guests, contributing to a positive experience.
Guests generally found the cabin comfortable, with a good-sized double bedroom and a cosy living area. However, some guests mentioned the sofa being uncomfortable and issues with narrow doorways, which suggests room for improvement in comfort for all guests.
The cabin is well-equipped for a holiday stay, with a full-sized bathroom, kitchen, and central heating. Some guests noted the absence of a dishwasher and washing machine, and there were occasional comments about maintenance needs, such as the outdoor bench and TV reception.
Guests often mentioned thoughtful touches like a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge upon arrival, which added to their enjoyment. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they are a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

However we had to turn sideways whenever we left a couple of the rooms, the openings were ok for skinny people but not us, my Hubby is average size and he struggled. The garden seat is delicate and needs securing as it could collapse. But the area is Beautiful and we enjoyed our stay.

The Cabin is very well equipped, cosy & comfortable with spectacular views. A fantastic place to unwind. James was very welcoming. We really didn't want to leave & hope we can return. Very highly recommended.

Neighbouring highland cows were truly gorgeous. Very peaceful and private with great scenery. Narrow doors with magnetic closures were a challenge at times but we appreciate the listing did warn us the doorways would be narrow. Wooden bench out the front of the property is broken and unsafe to sit on.
