About this property

Seaside cottage with sea and harbour views: Sunday check in for 1 week stays

Bank Cottage is a cosy and sunny fisherman's cottage up a short flight of steps from the footpath. From the front of the house you look out over the harbour to Filey Brigg and Flanborough Head and at the back, up to the castle. Arranged over 3 floors, on the ground floor, the cottage has a small lounge(snug) with sea views, dining room which will seat up to 6 people, a small kitchen with pretty much everything you should need to rustle up meals, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. You will find a ground floor cloakroom off the kitchen. Up a flight of (quite steep stairs, common in these sorts of cottages) you will find a double bedroom with sea views and a large single or small twin bedroom plus a bathroom with walk in shower and bath. Up a further flight of quite steep stairs you will find another double bedroom which has a small en suite bathroom and the second lounge/ TV room with panoramic sea views right across to Flanborough. The property has a small rear yard and a shared terrace runs in front of the house where you can sit and admire the views. Whilst recently renovated, we have retained the character of the original cottage through the style of decoration and furnishings. There is gas central heating and two electric showers. Parking is on the street using the permits provided.

Guests are advised that the cottage has steps up to it with an unfenced terrace and then inside - steep stairs common in these properties and so is not suitable for people with mobility issues or small mobile children.

This is a great location for exploring Scarborough, the rest of the coastline and the North Yorkshire Moors. There is always lots to see and do in Scarborough including great festivals which are often held slightly out of season. We donate 5% of our annual net rental to Scarborough lifeboat fund raising.

Wonderful Views
We had a lovely time staying this fishermens cottage. The views from the front were amazing and with teenagers in tow it was great to be walking distance of so many things. Layout of the cottage was perfect for us and we had no problems with the parking. Would definitely recommend,

Cottage with a fabulous view
The cottage is small but has everything you could possibly need and is very cosy and clean. We enjoyed the view with a space to sit out front that was especially nice. As with almost every other holiday cottage in Scarborough there are some steep steps outside and indoors and parking is a minor challenge with a short walk to the cottage with bags from the nearest space. Dilys, our host, responded immediately when we had the slight hiccup of being sent the wrong door code and went out of her way to make sure that we were ok which was appreciated. She also promptly answered a couple of other queries we had beforehand. We loved our stay and can recommend.

Great position
This is a lovely property. Well positioned for public transport and parking available. Be prepared to carry luggage and provisions up several steps to the property depending on where you can park. There are some interesting pictures/ornaments that have obviously been chosen with care. The kitchen is one of the best stocked that we have stayed in.

Lovely cottage and well situated overlooking harbour. 2 lounges one with great harbour view on 2nd floor. Parking worked and property great place for able bodied visitors albeit stairs inside the cottage are steep and not really suitable for very young & very old. We really liked the cottage, the way it was presented and May well go back

Lovely stay
After looking for a while for somewhere nice and affordable to stay, I tried vrbo and found this lovely accomodation. The owner reached out right away to make sure the cottage was right, with my family including a young child. Location was great. Cottage had everything you need and the view from upstairs was lovely. The stairs are steep but my 3 year old managed them. The only tricky part is parking. But thats a given throughout all of the old town. Will return most years to scarborough and this will be my number one choice if it remains this nice.

Perfect Cottage for a family Holiday
Had a fantastic holiday at Bank Cottage. The view is outstanding and the location is perfect, being just a short walk from the entertainment of South Beach and at the right end for walking round to North Beach. The cottage was clean and comfortable and offered everything needed for a relaxing stay. Communication was excellent, being both informative and friendly. Very happy to recommend and will book again.

Old Town gem
Everything was excellent, from the communication through to the location and the decor and cleanliness of the cottage. Yes, parking can be a challenge and having to carry all your gear to the cottage if you can't pull up close by can be a challenge, but overall it's well worth it. Great views.

Our new favourite place
Absolutely amazing property in a brilliant location. The views from both of the lounges were stunning. Well equipped kitchen and very clean property. Great communication and tips from the owner. Parking has its challenges in the old town but worse case there is a pay car park below the property which is very reasonably priced. We are already talking about a return trip next summer - a really happy place.

About the host

Hosted by Dilys Wynn

Host profile image
We are a family of four with a grown up daughter and son. My sister moved to Scarborough Old Town some years ago and we all fell in love with Scarborough and North Yorkshire generally.

Why they chose this property

Having fallen in love with Scarbrough, we decided that this is where we would move to, once our final youngster had flown the nest. When we saw this cottage and the fantastic views, we took the plunge and bought it. The rest is history!
So before we move up we let it to guests.

What makes this property unique

We love the fabulous views, the ability to simply park the car and walk everywhere. There is always something going on, even out of season. We always visit the theatre which is fabulous, enjoy live music, many of the festivals where we can, the cricket up at scarborough cricket club (20 minutes walk away) and often eat out very inexpensively. We also like the coast walks both north ad south of Scarborough.
