⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic stay at The Old Jail in Seamer! We stayed here with my partner, our little cockapoo and my partner’s grandparents, and it was perfect. The property was lovely, comfortable and very well maintained, making it a really enjoyable home away from home. Having our dog with us was a huge bonus, and it was great to have somewhere that worked so well for a multi-generational stay. The location was also ideal for exploring the surrounding areas including Bridlington, Whitby and Scarborough. We all had a wonderful time and would happily stay here again. A lovely Airbnb that we’d definitely recommend! 🐶❤️

Accommodation was very good, very modern and ideal for a few days away. Would struggle if wanted to stay longer as no wardrobes only draws but overall we would definitely return. It was very hot and no fans in the property until we enquired and the owner dropped one off. Seamer is a lovely place, fantastic food at the Mayfield and the fish and chip shop is fantastic. We loved Wilson's Food Hall, lovely food and drink and very friendly
