About the host
Hosted by Kate Martin
I am a Londoner through and through, but I've LOVED Scarborough since I first visited my husband's home town 35 years ago. I'm an enthusiastic traveller and host and enjoy extending a warm, inclusive, welcome to all. I aim to provide a comfortable and beautiful holiday home from which you can explore the Old Town and surrounds. Somewhere to relax and enjoy when you return from your daily adventures. My aim is to create a unique, interesting and beautiful space - a place where you can relax, unwind and enjoy your hard-earned break. Our aim is for you to LOVE your stay - prepare to fall in love, with Scarborough and most of all, Gowland Cottage!
Why they chose this property
Gowland Cottage combines historic character with modern comfort in the heart of the Old Town. Only a short walk from most of Scarborough's visitor attractions, restaurants, shops and bars, but a quiet haven in which to relax. A sheltered, enclosed patio garden provides a place to enjoy your coffee and absorb the sun and sounds of the seaside. We found the cottage in 2002 and have enjoyed many wonderful family holidays there. Our family are grown now, but the next stage of our journey has begun! Grandchildren are now beginning to create wonderful memories in Scarborough and Gowland Cottage. And you can too!
What makes this property unique
We call Gowland Cottage the Tardis. Small and perfectly formed on the outside, Grade II listed, Gowland Cottage retains the character of an 18th century fishing cottage, whilst enjoying the comforts of modern living. Tollergate is in the heart of Scarborough's Old Town, just beneath St. Mary's Church where Anne Bronte is buried, and ten minutes' walk from Scarborough Castle. So many of Scarborough, 'Queen of Resorts' delights are a short walk from the cottage. We have researched the people who have lived in the cottage and put together a social history of it's inhabitants, so guests can enjoy the history of the cottage. Gowland Cottage has private, enclosed parking for two cars (unusual in the Old Town) and a sheltered, patio garden where you can enjoy the sounds of the seaside and a morning coffee. The attic bedroom is a true haven of peace, somewhere you retreat at the end of your day to recharge your batteries. The twin room has a restful, countryside theme and the single room has a distinct nod to the fishing history of Scarborough. The cottage is packed with interesting pictures and artefacts of Scarborough's fishing heritage. You will be warmly welcomed at Gowland Cottage. We haven't forgotten the practical things though - fast fibre broadband, Netflix, Prime, catch up tv and Alexa Echo for your media fix. There is an espresso coffee machine and fully equipped kitchen, with washer, dryer and most importantly, dishwasher - who wants to wash up on holiday? We have a fold out desk if you're juggling Zoom calls with your holiday and lots of reading material, if you get the time. We have tried to remember all the little things you might forget in your dash to get away from it all. Relax, enjoy and breathe...
