Beach View Apartment - Amazing Views Marine Parade
The apartment is small but well appointed. It has everything you need. The views from the front are stunning. I thought it was a bit pricey for the time of year.

Vere House-Apt2, spacious, King beds, fab location
Fantastic flat in a great location within easy walking distance of Peasholm Park and North Bay. Lots of great touches in this comfortable apartment and plenty of room for 2 x families of 4. Plenty of parking on the doorstep, just use the discs provided. Mark was a great host and so easy to contact. We'll definitely look to use again.

The Apartments, Flat 5
Good central location in busy interesting town, lots to do with very good plaques around the town. Good choice of shops and an excellent greengrocer/deli. Flat was very clean and comfortable.

York City Apartment with gated parking included
Lovely downstairs apartment, clean and modern and a perfect size for two adults and two small children. Great secure parking and around 20 minutes walk from York Minster, it’s a perfect base to explore the city for a few days. We will definitely return. Thank you Carole, really responsive and a lovely place!

Break of Dawn
What a beautiful apartment just far enough out of the city for peace and quiet but near enough to walk in and out. It was spotless, welcoming and the decor is gorgeous! Would highly recommend.

Stylish eco friendly 1BD apartment
I can honestly say this is the best air bnb I have stayed in. It is beautifully appointed with everything you could need. The hosts have thought of every detail to make your stay perfect - we couldn't have wished for more.

Some really good and helpful recommendations of things to do for the children. Overall, not a single negative or complaint I can think of!

Elckys Lodge - Hot Tub Retreat Near York
Exactly what was advertised we got. Beautiful lodge, clean and cosy! A lovely from home. The hot tub was amazing and the surroundings were sound peaceful. Will definitely be coming back and 100% recommend for a breakaway

Riverside Cottage
The place was exactly what we were looking for and is a great base to explore Whitby, close enough to be convenient but also far enough away to be able to retreat from the crowds. The setting is very unique beneath the arches of the viaduct and it is very peaceful and relaxing.

Prospect Cottage - The Bay Filey - 2 bedrooms
We had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely book again. Thanks Paula 👍

Luxurious Bridlington villa sleeps 13
We booked Villa 2 for a family get together for a 70th birthday celebration. (8 including a child) The location is central and a couple of minutes walk to harbour. Check in was easy, the host Rachel communicated well and was informative. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. Bathrooms were clean, towels, shampoo and shower gel were provided. All bedrooms had a wall mounted tv and storage. Parking permits were provided for the duration of our stay and after request we had a later check out time. (Which after a day of sea air and clocks changing thrown in there were some tired people)

Long live Brid
We have just stayed at Viva La Brid for a few nights for New Years- X2 family’s with young children and a dog. The house was everything we wanted and exactly as described and shown in photos - very clean and great facilities- we all loved the pool table which was a great addition! Fab Location- right near the beach and close to pubs restaurants and shops and the arcades for the kids. We definitely stay again.

Castle and Mount Views Scarborough
Short stay but everything was as expected and will definitely book again if another reason to visit the area arises.
