This old family holiday cottage is in serious need of renovation and upgrade. It is not equipped very well (the kitchen pots I wouldn't even take with me to camp), it does not have a coffee plunger or machine, the plastic is peeling off the kitchen cupboards, the blinds are stained and dirty, the outdoor furniture is rusting, the bathroom is run-down, the walls are covered with marks from squashed mosquitos or pulled-out nails, furniture is old and partly crappy. The views are amazing. Even though crime might not be a problem in Scarborough but security is non-existing. A cheek to be asked to give a 5-star rating, sorry no. This is not good value for money. After having stayed in different locations (some with excellent views as well) in the same price range which were all 5 star-places this is not up to that level.
