    Very disappointed with the location of this holiday accommodation. I didn’t realise when I booked it that it was in the middle of a housing estate. I prefer more remote places with plenty of scenery to look out on not somebody else’s back garden!

    The house is in a good location for beaches Scarborough, the surrounding area and the pub. A 10-minute walkway was lovely and dog friendly.A bit disappointed that while being advertised as dog friendly there was a no dogs allowed sign from the stairs upwards - this is not a sign of a dog friendly place and should have been clearly stated in the description of the house as we would not have booked this if we had known.Grass was also uncut making it difficult to enjoy the garden both for us and our dog.The kitchen was lovely and the lounge comfortable; owners were also prompt when sorting out a hot water issue.
