About Green Tor

Superbly positioned in walking distance to the golden beach at North Bay in Scarborough, this 1930's detached house is the perfect place for families and friends to enjoy a wonderful Yorkshire holiday. Beautifully furnished throughout to a high standard this exquisite property exudes character and style, a delightful retreat to return to during your stay.

Set back from the main road with ample parking, this attractive house rests adjacent to Peasholm Park, a lovely place to gather for a picnic by the lake on a warm summers' day or to view the events showcased at the open-air theatre. During the winter months, the marvellous gas AGA keeps you toasty and warm in the kitchen, a beautiful, airy room to meet for breakfast with the family.

This remarkable house boasts two sitting rooms, wonderfully presented in a tasteful, earthy colour scheme complementing leather sofas and art-deco style details; the second room enjoys a quirky, modern wallpaper print and an electric stove. Spoilt for choice, the two ground floor cloakrooms are accompanied by a third on the first floor alongside the family bathroom occupying an all-white shade and well-appointed fixtures.

Spread over two levels, the bedrooms are all elegantly decorated in bright, fresh hues, some of which benefit from en-suite showers and the top floor rooms enjoy lovely little suntrap balconies on which to sit out and absorb the fresh Yorkshire air. As you wander up the wide staircases to the first and second floors, you will be welcomed by fabulous, stained glass windows streaming bursts of vivid colour into the large landing areas.

These wonderful period features of the building can be seen in parts throughout, from the grand fireplace and oak wood panelling in the formal dining room to the large bay windows overlooking the gardens outside. For entertainment during your stay, head to the converted garage and into the games and cinema room, and enjoy some quality leisure time.

Green Tor Reviews

Very tired decor. Downstairs toilet has a picture on the wall which is covered in thick mould. Steps to back door became wet in driving rain and four of us slipped on them in the same place. I had the worst slip and ended up in A&E with a torn ligament and chipped bone in my left foot!! Im now having to pay out a fortune to get someone to walk my dog not to mention the pain and suffering! They should put some anti slip surface down on the steps.
Brilliant house, plenty of space and great location. Games room was superb. Hot tub superb. Hope to book again next year.
Patricia
Wonderful house, games room a big bonus. Perfect location. Thank you for the Prosecco, that was a lovely touch. Thanks for swift action on lack of knives, the cleaning manager was friendly and helpful and also provided an extra water jug. The cinema room really needs some ventilation. A few more sevingmixing bowls would be appreciated as well as some food basics such as salt. An excellent holiday for all 14 of us.
We had an excellent stay at Green Tor. No complaints at all.
Michael
Lovely property in a fantastic location for the North beach and Peasholm Park. The games room was well used but could do with a light over the dart board and two decent cues. The theatre room was great with a good supply of films. Ideal for a lovely family holiday.
Everything about Green Tor is great! The position within a five minute walk of all that the North Bay has to offer, the facilities at the house, the comfort and cleanliness are all five star. We were a family party of eleven ranging from 5 to 75 and there was something for everyone even on the rainy days when the games room came into its own! We will certainly be back. Just one suggestion we found we didnt use the dining room for meals and the kitchen was a bit of a squeeze, so knocking through to make one big kitchendiner would be a huge improvement.
Lovely house and a great stay. One minor issue with a blown fuse on the first morning sorted out very quickly. Would definitely stay again.
Great property for large groups. Everything you could want is there for a fun filled time. Great location. Games room well equipped, kids loved the cinema room and hot tub perfect for the adults. Kitchen well equipped for cooking meals, lovely comfy beds. Only issue was bbq probably could do with replacing and maybe a cover to protect it.
Rachel
Fantastic property. There were 7 adults and 6 children in our group and it suited us all. Kitchen very well equipped. Lovely large living room with plenty of seating. Games room and cinema room were great for keeping the kids entertained. Bedrooms all a reasonable size and comfortable. Property generally clean throughout. Only issue that was flagged was that the skylight in the top bathroom was leaking a bit when it rained. Locationwise, it's a 1015 min walk to Tesco Express and a decent pub Tunny Catch. Less than 5 mins to a One Stop. Right over the road from Peasholm Park lovely place to walk around and has a cafepedalos. Less than 10 min walk down to the beach and to the North Bay Railway.
Alison
Family weekend to celebrate 60th birthday. What an amazing house and facilities in a fantastic location. 100 recommend.
Great house for a larger group. Spotlessly clean, with every facility needed. With just a few minutes walk to the north beach, the location is fantastic too. We all enjoyed our holiday and would definitely stay here again.
Stephen
The whole family loved the weekend. We didn't venture far because of the hot tub, games & cinema room which were fab. We are already considering booking for the same time next year.
Jackie
Another great week at Green Tor. This is the second time we've stayed here and it's absolutely fab. The kids talk about it all year round and hopefully the lovely memories of our special family week together will last forever. The house is in a great location for everything and is so warm and cozy. We took the kids on the Santa Train and got tickets for Beauty & The Beast at the Stephen Joseph Theatre which was brilliant. A special mention must go to Bernadette nothing is too much trouble for her. Hopefully see you then same time next year. Thanks Jackie
Barbara
We had a fantastic weekend at this property to celebrate a family members 40th birthday. The house was comfortable, clean very well equipped and perfect for a mixed age family. The gamescinema room and hot tub an added bonus. The owners responded very quickly to a query about lack of heating to the top floor. Would definitely recommend Green Tor and hope to return at some point.
Caroline
Beautiful house which is very well equipped for all.
Stephen
The property is true to the pictures on the website. The house was extremely clean, the kitchen has every type of utensil you could possibly need, plenty of prep space and a table big enough for all guests to sit around and chat. The other areas of the house were equally as comfortable for us 9 adults & 4 children. The icing on the cake is the gamescinema room, adults & children loved it. The hot tub was excellent to chill out in, the addition of a shower room in the Games room was really convenient when using the hot tub better than trailing through the house dripping all over the floors and great big fluffy towels specifically for the hot tub too. We couldnt fault the house or the outside area and would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Elaine
A spacious, comfortable house in a great location. Games room and cinema room proved very popular. Access to cinema room tricky for older and younger members of the group 2 and 88. Some maintenance issues water comes out of overflow when shower in use, chair legs in cinema room wobbly. Kitchen catered for 12 people well. A pizza cutter would have been welcome and there was only 1 pizza tray. These are however minor points and did not detract from what is a fantastic property.
Fabulous week in a wonderful house and setting. Plenty of room for all of us with great facilities. House very clean and the cinema and games room were well used! Hope to return again next summer!
Barbara
Great location and very roomy, bedrooms great. The kitchen however was in need of some updating and care decoration chipped some chairs needed mending and cooking facilities not really adequate for size of property. Similarly with the hot tub and games room, equipment broken, hot tub needed cleaning. We have not found the owners helpful at all, from initial booking to resolving item mistakenly left on the premises.
We stayed at Green Tor for 3 nights, a mixed group of adults and children and we all had a wonderful time. The facilities are really well thought out and plenty of everything you need for a large group. Very nice large rooms and the living room was a really great size so we could all be together, same for the dining room. Very clean property. The garden, games room and hot tub are all really nice. Lots to do in the games room. Fantastic location, close to the sea front as well as shops and bars etc. The park across the road is large and a nice place to visit. Highly recommended.
Had a great family break at Green Tor. Clean, tidy, spacious, everything you need. Set with a lovely garden, hot tub very private. Peasholm Park across the road and a short walk to the beach. Definately will return.
Kirstie
Great house warm welcoming and great facilities for a group every room caters for a big group comfortably. Lovely house.
A vacuum cleaner would have been useful The cafetire was too small There were ... A vacuum cleaner would have been useful The cafetire was too small There were no table tennis balls Need to do something about the infestation of ladybirds I actually got bitten on my face on the last night
Jackie
This house is the most perfect house ever for young and old. The house overlooks Peasolm Park and is so cosy and warm. We had an early Christmas so all the family could be together. The diningcooking facilities were brilliant. The owners even popped round with more glasses and serving dishes when they found out we were making Christmas dinner! The games room is great for the kids with a cinema room as well. It was perfect all being in the same room to watch the World Cup final pity it wasnt England. Visited the Alpamare which is only 2 minutes away and some of us went to the wellness spa which is well worth a visit. We took the kids on the Santa Train which was great. Absolutely fantastic week and hopefully well do it all again next year.
Louise
Lovely home for the weekend. We had a great 70th birthday with my mum and the whole family. Thank you.
This property is absolutely brilliant. We have an annual family pre Christmas gathering and we could wish for nothing. The facilities for cooking are amazing, you don't need for anything. The rooms are spacious and clean. It's beautifully maintained and very comfortable. Its near the beach and the park, perfect for the little ones to run around. Also, lovely welcome package.
Barbara
We had an amazing time, the property was perfect for us. There was lots of space for everyone but still cozy and comfortable. We had an issue with the hot tub but it was quickly resolved. The kids and adults loved the games room and cinema, we just wish we had more time to enjoy it. As a family with ages ranging from 6 months to 97 years old it was perfect. Although there are stairs to the bedrooms and ground floor toilet my Grandma was able to navigate these without any problems. We will hopefully book again in the future.
Great property and lovely location
Very happy with our stay a lovely house and a pleasure to stay there for a short time .
Great house for family celebration well equipped and lots to do nearby.
Michelle
Brilliant house plenty room for 10 Adults and 4 children, every thing you needed the hot tub, games and cinema room are ideal kept the children and adults occupied, it was lovely that we could spend time altogether, local for a nice walk to beach and park children never said they were bored once and not a phone or computer all weekend. Tried to book straight up again but fully booked for time we want to go again, cannot find anything else that can come anywhere near
Green Tor is a magnificent house to stay in, it is enormous and comfortable and we had a fabulous short break in Scarborough. Despite its size, the house was cosy and we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the facilities were all clean and working. My 93 year old mother found it easy to get around but didnt attempt the spiral staircase up to the cinema room. The rest of us loved the hot tub and the games room. The location was perfect for a walk in Peaseholm Park or to the beach and castle.
An amazing house with everything you could possibly wish for, superb facilities , comfy beds, warm cosy living rooms, great location. This is the best large property we have stayed in just perfect for our full family get together to celebrate my nephews 40th birthday. We will definitely return.
Samantha
What an amazing property, we stayed here for a 50th birthday celebration with friends and family ages from 1679. Its got everything you need for a lovely holiday, located close to peasholm park, the beach and shops. Would definitely recommend for large gatherings. Thank you so much for having us
Shelley
As a large family we have had experience of many larger properties for family get togethers and we have concluded that this is the best one we have ever been to. Location was fantastic, the house was beautiful, well equipped and decorated tastefully. The facilities were all well used, enjoyed and greatly appreciated. A minor issue of a light not working was fixed in a timely way. This is the first time we will be re booking a property to return to. We loved it.

Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 0 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 0 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 0 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 3 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 5 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 16 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
Castle Howard - YO60 7DA
about 23 Miles
Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park. There is also a large lake offering boat trips during the summer months. In high season the site is very popular with families and offers organised activities for children including tours, talks, crafting and animal encounters. The site also has a Nature Trail which is fun for the whole family and an Adventure Playground where children can run off some energy.
Yorkshire Lavender - YO60 6PB
about 25 Miles
Yorkshire Lavender is an amazing award winning attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of York, a Café, Plant Nursery and Lavender Gardens. The 60 acre site is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is an excellent choice for a day trip.
