Absolutely wonderful
Myself and a group of friends rented this property at the end of May and we were not disappointed. As soon as we entered the house we were all in awe! It is beautiful, spacious and well kept. We loved the main lounge/kitchen area as this is where we spent most of our times just hanging out and enjoying the views into the garden. All rooms are spacious and comfortable, - it really felt like a home away from home! We used the provided bikes to go cycling around the neighbourhood - one of the highlights of our stay as the area is beautiful. We also thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub as well as hosting a game night in the bar area downstairs. Jim and Linda were very attentive and answered any questions we had promptly! Honestly, if you are thinking of booking this property then do it - you won't be disappointed.

Great family holiday home
This home was very well appointed, 20 mins drive from downtown and easy access to the road network. Home was stunning, we had an active holiday but we spent a few days of our break just enjoying the house and everything in it. There are bikes in the garage that we were able to cycle down to the woods and parks. Lake view out of some windows and close enough to supermarkets to go food shopping. Jim, the host, was very helpful and quick to respond to even my most trivial enquiries. Kids enjoyed the hot tub and hanging out in the basement. The master bedroom was more like a suite - large and spacious. We are already discussing our next trip back and staying at this lovely home. Thank you Jim for allowing us to stay in this incredible accommodation.

Comfortable family home in Scarborough
We were a family of 9 in Toronto for a family wedding & had flown in from all over the UK. This beautiful family home provided us with everything we needed and more! Lots of hot water, comfortable beds, plenty of towels & kitchen utensils as we are all foodies & keen cooks. If I were to request one thing.......it would be a much larger toaster!!! The 2 slice toaster is simply not big enough for a gathering of our size. Our dishwasher gave up the ghost too and even with an engineer in our party we could not get it to work. Fortunately, there were lots of hands on deck to wash up by hand. We loved the area, had a throughly enjoyable stay & would recommend to anyone. Robbie Dixon Bath UK

Excellent comfortable home with all facilities and equipment! Friendly communicative owners too!

Great place and a responsive host
We were a family of 7 and stayed in Jim’s place for 6 weeks. It’s a beautiful home with a wonderful backyard and accommodated all of us comfortably. Jim was a very responsive host who made sure the stay was worry-free. Overall, I highly recommend this place for families and for longer stays.
