I have a wonderful stay at Pieter & Emanuelle's place. The house is cozy and comfortable and incredibly well placed (far off enough from the main road to avoid the car pollution).
The place is very well suited for 1-2 people, with simple yet great ammenities.
The village is incredibly peaceful, even during the high Christmas season.
It's overall a great option for the solo traveler or just for a couple, which is rare in Scarborough. I really recommended it!
