We have recently stayed at Tunny cottage for a 5 night break with our two teenagers and little dog. What a little gem of a cottage!
It has been newly renovated to a very high and modern standard, all the finishing touches make it so cosy, what a lovely place to relax.
The owners have really thought about the equipment/utensils etc needed in the cottage, there wasn't anything we were short of!
This lovely little cottage is only a two minute walk down to the beach, shops, coffee bars, pubs, and restaurants.
We really enjoyed our stay at Tunny Cottage and will definitely be back!!
Thank you for a wonderful break and we'll see you again soon.

We have just got back from a three night stay. Tunny cottage is immaculate and decorated to a high standard. The kitchen is brand new and has everything you need to cook. The street is extremely quiet with a small dog friendly pub at the bottom of the road. Scarborough seafront is just a five minute walk with amazing views of the sea and castle. I would highly recommend this lovely historic cottage.

We are just back from a lovely weekend at tunny cottage. the whole cottage has been renovated to a high standard and everything is brand new. The kitchen was very well equipped and the cottage was cosy and had a very homely feel. The shower was powerful and lots of hot water. The location was ideal, a few minutes and you were on the seafront with all its amenities. We definitely recommend tunny cottage.

+ The location is brilliant and is local to the town centre and to local shops pubs and the beach. This place is a credit to the owners, we have been coming to Scarborough for many years now and this place is certainly in the top three we would definitely stay here again.
- There was nothing we can think of to dislike everything you need is catered for and so well organised for your stay a home from home.

My wife and I met at uni in Scarborough back in the late 90’s and the place has always been special to us. We have been back many times, especially now with our 4 children.
Having stayed at other properties I must say Claire’s house was the perfect house for us to spend some quality family time together in between Christmas and New Year.
Wonderful location, spotlessly clean, and all the facilities you could ask for.
We will be back again without doubt

We have just spent a long weekend at Tunny Cottage.
First impressions of Tunny Cottage was how clean it was and that it has been renovated to a very high standard. The cottage is well equipped from kitchen Utensils, powerful shower and hairdryer.
The location is ideal for families and also couples. The cottage itself is on a quite street but only a 5 minute walk to the seafront, where there are arcades, pubs, restaurants, the beach and much more to explore. There are lovely dog friendly pubs and lovely walks within minutes of the cottage.
A lovely cosy, homely feel cottage that I would highly recommend.

Me and my husband really enjoyed our stay at tunny cottage hosted with Claire over Christmas. The house was clean tidy and had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and plenty of space in the kitchen. The response time from Claire was second to none even weeks before our stay at tunny cottage. Only a short walk away from the beach local pubs and the seafront attractions.
We had great walks with our dogs everyday and even hosted Christmas lunch for a couple of family members. Made a couple of small suggestions for the future which were greatly accepted by our host. All in all a great stay and a great host, would definitely recommend and would look to stay again in the future. Thank you.
