The Old Workshop Reviews

What a fantastic place to stay. Excellent communication from Christine prior to our visit to ensure everything we needed would be available. Upon arrival we were greeted with several little extras which made us feel very welcome. The accommodation itself is beautiful, clean and comfortable with everything you need to ensure a great stay.The hot tub is a welcome addition with lots of fresh towels provided. I would highly recommend The Old Workshop to anyone who os looking for somewhere to stay in Scarborough.

Andrea

We had a lovely weekend at The Old Workshop. The property, facilities and location was spot on. Would definitely recommend.

Wish we'd stayed longer! We booked for a couple of nights while we were in Scarborough to see will smith, we wish we'd have stayed for a week. The accommodation was simply superb, beautiful surroundings, close to Scarborough and amenities, and everything was of a high standard, we loved it!

Beverley

We loved everything about the property. What a great restoration of a historical building. Great location for visiting many attractions in North Yorkshire. We were so conformable and happy here. Nice quiet peaceful location. Great views from the hot tub. We were lucky enough to see the combines and tractors at work during our time there. So well equipped with everything we could need. Christine was so helpful in her recommendations of things to see and places to visit with our disabled son. She was so kind & caring and on hand if we needed anything. We spent 2 weeks here and really enjoyed every minute. Loved the mezzanine bedroom and looking out at the view every morning without even getting out of bed! The barn was actually bigger than we expected. Would 100 recommend a stay here.

We had a great week, great location and lovely owners

Absolutely loved this place. 10 out of 10 for everything. Just wished we had booked for longer. Countryside uk hols is what we do with us having a dog. This one by far the best. Highly recommended to anyone

Vaughan

We loved our long weekend at The Old Workshop. It has a gorgeous rural location and is modern, clean and cosy. It is well equipped and has everything youd need. There was a lovely welcome pack of goodies for us and for our dogs too. A gated yard surrounds the entrance so its safe to let the dogs trot around outside whilst the humans can sit out or in the hot tub! There are some lovely villages to explore nearby and its not far from Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington. We went to Cayton Bay which has a great dog friendly beach and walked on Flamborough Head, which was stunning. There is also a little farm shop a short walk away, open Wednesdays and Saturdays. All thoroughly recommended!

Samantha

Lovely place clean, wellequipped, and beautifully presented with an attentive host. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Would definitely stay again! Thank you.

Victoria

The Old Workshop is stunning, great location, lovely and peaceful but within easy distance to get to all the attractions in the area. Well thought out with everything you could want, hot tub was a bonus after a long day out and about. Lots of great pubs about for good food. Christine always on hand for any needs or just to recommend a good pub. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend which we have to all our friends, we will be back. Thankyou

Beautiful, well maintained & equipped property. Set in beautiful surroundings and easy reach to Scarborough, Filey and Brindlington. One of the best properties we stayed in. Would highly recommend the Old Workshop

Neil Christopher

Great location and really peaceful. . the hot tub is a fantastic addition to the wonderful Accommodation The property is absolutely as listed with a fantastic array of facilities Great communication and would highly recommend

We enjoyed another stay at the Okd Workshop. All the facilities you need and lots to explore around. T he ave already booked another stay.

We had a great stay at The Old Workshop. The cottage was fully equipped with everything you need and the lovely owner Cristine had left a few generous goodies for us. The location is perfectly out in the countryside yet only 5 minutes to the nearest village with shops and cafes and places like Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Filey further afield and the night sky from the hot tub is fabulous with very little light pollution around. Would happily return if in the area again!

Damian

Great location to base yourself, whether its walking in the forest or a day at the coast. Premises were very clean and tidy, with a nice welcome. Whilst there are neighbours in the hamlet, it felt secluded enough. Hot tub was a nice feature.

The cottage was larger than expected, and we were impressed when we arrived. Everything was lovely and it was very clean and comfortable. The hot tub was very enjoyable too. There was nothing we would change about it, everything we needed was provided. We will be back!

We had a fabulous time at The Workshop. It was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. The hot tub was a lovely addition as the night skies were stunning. Our hosts were incredible nothing was too much trouble. Our dogs were very impressed with the welcome and both tried to share the luxurious dog bed, even though we had brought both of theirs with us. The location of the property is prefect for seeing the beauty of Gods own County. Its so easy to reach beaches, dales, moors and woodland. We cant wait to book again for next year.

We had an excellent stay. We really liked the open plan barn and all the little touches that made our visit extra special. The hot tub was a real bonus. We will definitely recommend and be back soon

Stuart

We have just returned from a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. Check inout was smooth, the property is well equipped and the hosts were responsive and kind enough to acknowledge we were visiting to celebrate a birthday. The property is peaceful and fully enclosed which put our mind at ease as we travelled with both children and dogs, the helpful touches such as high chair, cot, dog towels etc were much appreciated. The log burner made it lovely and cosy, especially as we stayed during a particularly cold spell of weather and we wouldn't hesitate to return, thanks again.

Catherine

Lovely property in a beautiful location. Hope to make a return visit soon!

Yvonne

Amazing place, absolutely stunning. Very warm and cosy, all mod cons. Fantastic hot tub, on top of the hill. Very peaceful and quiet. Lovely quality bedding and towels. Comfy beds. Massive shower room. One of best properties Ive ever stayed in. Will definitely be back.

Very nice stay overall couple of low points the door blinds was tricky to use ... Very nice stay overall couple of low points the door blinds was tricky to use but after working out how to use them wasnt has frustrating to use sofa was very squeaky at one side we really enjoyed all that was on offer hot tub was amazing log burner was really nice to sit around late at night blazing away also the owner was very helpful the walks with the dog in the fields was great close to local shops and amenities I felt refreshed and relaxed

It was a stunning location , peaceful and quiet. The only downside was we felt that the kitchen could be better equipped with additional equipment which would have been useful during our stay. A pair of oven gloves instead of one small pad, a larger frying pan as the small one was a bit limiting when cooking for 4 adults. We could not find a hand towel to use in the kitchen as there was only one tea towel which we used for washing up. Perhaps some kitchen roll or a small roll of silver foil which could be left in between guests. Also it would help if there was a few basic essential left such as salt, and pepper and a small bottle of oil to help when cooking. Another small detail perhaps a hook in the bathroom to hang up a clothes Although I know you had a chair but this was used for towels. The upstairs bedroom mezzanine was quirky and interesting , however it may be more to make that a twin room with beds positioned under the eaves either side of the room may be suitable may be more suitable for children who may no need the head room and leave the downstairs bedroom as a double. We make these comments with good intentions as we too are in the hospitality trade and understand the issues of meeting everyones needs. We must congratulate you on making a beautiful building accommodation whilst respecting its history and heritage. As we have friends living in Scarborough nearby we may well return next year.Thank you both for making our stay relaxing despite the snow and storm Bert

Lauren

Lovely accommodation and facilities. We had a fantastic stay! It was made to feel very homely, warm and comfortable. We enjoyed the open plan layout and well equipped kitchen for cooking. The hot tub is a lovely touch, being able to relax and watch the stars on an evening was fantastic. Our two dogs enjoyed the place too, as well as being close to lots of lovely beaches, walks and amenities. The owners were very helpful throughout our stay too. Thank you, would definitely recommend.

Catherine

We had a great stay at The Workshop. What a beautiful place! So peaceful

Nicola

Fantastic property and a lovely weeks stay. Lovely touches by Christine and welcome pack included the 4 legged one. Weather was so nice despite the storm and wind over the weekend. Hot tub amazing and the perfect rehab after Yorkshire Marathon! Literally the only thing missing as a conscientious per owner was a hoover so we could keep on top of cleaning

We enjoyed staying at the old workshop, it was warm and comfortable, ideal for dogs and sad we didnt book longer

Jonathan

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Workshop Very clean properly with all the equipment you need to a comfortable stay. The whole property has been furnished to a high standard, you can tell that the owners take great pride in the place. The property also caters well for dogs, the treats and towels provided were very appreciated. In addition to the property itself, the surrounding area provides beautiful views, especially when relaxing in the hot tub. I would definitely book this place again and highly recommend to others looking for a peaceful break away.

Lovely property, lovely and spacious. Cleanliness was excellent. Very well equipped and so comfortable. Couldn't fault anything. We loved every minute of it. Thankyou for the little extras for us and our dog. Would definitely recommend. Definitely a 5 star property.

An amazing place to stay, so comfortable with lots to do around the area. The hot tub is 1010 for stargazing and there is a resident owl who we seen on our last night. We will be back! Lovely owners too thank you for a wonderful stay.

Michelle

Really lovely rural property in a beautiful location. The workhouse has been well designed with everything finished to a high standard. We had all the necessities we needed for our stay with the addition of a great hot tub for relaxing in the evenings. Everywhere is very clean and it is clear the owners take great care of everything and are happy to help if needed. The location is wonderful for dog owners with lots of areas to walk close by and there are plenty of dog friendly pubs near by to eat out at. Scarborough is only a short drive away. Christine was very friendly and helpful, was nice to know she was available for help if required but not imposing in any way. We would highly recommend a stay here and will certainly be back to visit again.

Amazing property in a great location. Will definitely be booking again!

Beautiful place great location would def go again highly recommend

The Old Workshop is lovely! The design and decor is stunning, and it has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable, relaxing selfcatered stay. The Hosts are the right amount of involved friendly, helpful and informative but also give you your own space. The treats were very welcome too! The location of the property is convenient to access Scarborough via a 15 min drive and also Whitby which is approx a 30 min drive. You get the best of both worlds here as youre staying in a countryside setting but are also only a short drive away from the sea. Thank you Christine and family we had a lovely holiday.

Charlotte

Great weekend with the girls at this property. Newly decorated, very tasteful, clean. All instructions needed were in a folder as well which was helpful. We liked the fact that the patiohot tub was enclosed as well. Great communication from the owners on the day too. Only two 'downsides' which were minor problems really drive currently being redone likely will have been finished by the time i finish this review though! and the downstairs bed is a bit small if you aren't a couple we brought a blow up airbed just in case and did end up using it, but equally the sofa was spacious and comfortable so we could have used that too. Would consider coming back and would definitely recommend.

Such a stunning property, we loved every minute of our stay. It was neat and tidy and beautifully done. The hot tub was super. It was perfect for us, two adults, one child and dog. It was so central and so many beautiful places to visit around it. We would definitely come back.

Steven

We visited The Old Workshop for our first family holiday with 7 month old baby and our dog. What a beautiful property in the most beautiful of settings. The Old Workshop was so tranquil. We felt like we were the only people in the world and aside from seeing the host family maybe three times in passing over 5 days, our only neighbours seemed to be fields of sheep which our dog and daughter both loved from the safety of the bedroom window. The property itself was spotlessly clean and furnished to a very high standard, and the hot tub was a hit for us adults once the little one was asleep! The water pressure in the shower was incredible but the water could get a little warm so thats one to watch for little people. On the little people point there was a high chair, cutlery and crockery, stair gates, travel cot and linens for the cot so a lot of the stress of packing and more importantly packing the car! was taken away. Christine, our host, was fantastic and kindly acted as the North Yorkshire tourist board for us, which meant we discovered things we never would have on our own. We adored our stay and wouldnt hesitate to book again.

As a family of 5 with a Doberman we have struggled to find somewhere to accommodate us, after searching high and low we stumbled across The Old Workshop, little did we know we would be the first booking ! This stay really is a home from home, beautiful from the outside in and has been given so much thought and love for people to have fun and make memories in ! On arrival we were made to feel very relaxed and welcomed which was lovely for us as a family with 3 young children and a big dog ! It did not take us long to settle in ,starting ofour evening bubbling away in the hot tub, then a meal around the table in the stunning open plan kitchen area followed by winding down in front of the log burner, this wasnt just a comfort for us as a family but also vinnie the dog after a busy day walking around the local routes, he loved nothing more than snoozing in front of the toasty fire. The Old Workshop has everything and a little more, We feel fortunate to be the first to experience this Beautiful holiday home and we look forward to returning .
