    “Lovely little place, but wasn't exactly clean in the bathroom.”

    Toothpaste still on the sink and pink bacteria and mould in the shower. And thick grime under the shower tap that wiped off easily. Dust webs a plenty in the open plan kitchen/frontroom, and the bedroom and the kitchen sink had an orange rim round it from the last person who had washed up. Had to clean all this before I could relax. The bed needs a new mattress as its like sleeping on a piece of plywood and didn't have a mattress protector on it. And the pillow protectors were stained/ needed ...

Had to clean all this before I could relax. The bed needs a new mattress as its like sleeping on a piece of plywood and didn't have a mattress protector on it. And the pillow protectors were stained/ needed a wash. Lovely place with lovely views, but just needs a proper clean between guests.

The property

Scalby 2 miles.

Nestled within the majestic North York Moors National Park, just five miles away from the bustling town of Scarborough, is this stone-fronted cottage, Swallows Nest.

This romantic retreat is perfect for a couple seeking to explore the surrounding countryside and the nearby coast, or simply looking escape their daily routines for a couple of days.

After enjoying the open countryside views, be welcomed into a well-presented property, housing all the essentials for a week-long stay with your partner.

Enjoy your evenings within the open-plan living room, where you can rustle up a home-cooked meal within the amply equipped kitchen, before cosying up on the leather sofa, which rests in front of the Smart TV with Freeview.

In here, you will also find a warming electric stove, which is perfect for those chilly winter months.

The interior is completed by a charming double bedroom, which is benefitted by a double bed and a delightful interior design, as well as a stylish shower room with a wonderful retro tile design to enjoy.

Throw open the French doors during a summer’s day and enjoy the wonderful enclosed garden, where your canine companion can stretch his legs whilst you dip into the bubbling hot tub for a relaxing soak after a busy day exploring.

To keep you and your loved one busy whilst staying at Swallows Nest, explore miles of walking routes through the National Park or the endearing North Riding Forest Park.
