Scarbeck House was excellent for our week in Masham. We used it as a base for many very good walks in the local area and never used our car. It is very well equipped with loads of good crockery and cutlery and a very well equipped kitchen with lots of worktop space. The beds were all comfortable although the room at the top of the house was a littRead morele cold and not very spacious but would be ideal for children in warmer months. The road outside was quite busy and large lorries seemed to start passing from around 5am (weekdays) and went on for most of the day, but there is not much that can be done about that. The owner phoned a few days before we arrived and was very helpful and friendly. All five of us in the group, agreed it was an excellent place to stay and it's very likely we will be back again, either in the same group or with our families. I would have no hesitation in recommending Scarbeck House. Hide

A beautiful, homely cottage in a wonderful location. There are fabulous walks and scenery along with quaint local shops, a market on Wednesday & Saturday (worth a wonder round) and some very welcoming pubs. I look forward to returning in the future.

This house is fabulous. It has everything you could need and more. Great attention to detail. A home away from home. Very comfortable, spacious, relaxing, beautifully decorated and in a lovely location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had plenty of room for our family of five and space to entertain family friends who live in Masham.

We had a wonderful break with three generations of family and our dog visiting the ancestorial home of Masham, even though one grandparent had recently broken his hip after the holiday had been booked the owners where very accommodating, even the stairs on the first two levels where manageable under the circumstances, the house had everything needeRead mored to enjoy a comfortable stay and there are still the wonderful places to eat like the Kings arms and a local caf that provided our lunch time menu very efficiently, the garden is fully enclosed with a back gate / path to get you to the front of the house, this was ideal for muddy paws and wellies to clean off before accessing the kitchen area. We also received a lovely welcome pack and a postcard ( which I forgot to take home with me!! )welcoming us to the property. I would certainly recommend this property and will be back in the future.
