Most guests find The Manor House to be clean and well-presented, with several reviews specifically mentioning its tidiness upon arrival. However, a few guests have noted issues such as unemptied bins and dog waste in the garden, slightly affecting the overall cleanliness score.
The property's location is highly regarded, with guests appreciating its proximity to Scarborough's seafront and town centre. The convenience of being within walking distance to local attractions contributes to a high location score.
The Manor House is generally considered comfortable, with ample space and cosy beds mentioned by several guests. Some concerns about room temperature and a lack of ensuite facilities in the annex slightly reduce the comfort score.
Facilities at The Manor House are well-received, particularly the hot tub and garden. However, maintenance issues such as non-functioning windows, inadequate toilet facilities for the number of guests, and a broken hot tub for one group have led to a lower score in this category.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. No reviews mention gifts, so this score is set to null.

We were looking for a large comfortable venue for a 17 person multigenerational, extended family get together, for a week, in an interesting location. The Manor House, and Scarborough, fitted the bill extremely well. Highlights were - sufficient off road parking, plenty of space, comfortable bedrooms, adequate bathrooms, spacious dining room, and the hot tub. Inevitably, there's always room for improvement, so we would offer the following, in a positive spirit. On late Friday arrival we noticed the microwave plate was missing, as was a fridge shelf. An inconvenience as we were largely self catering. By that time 'out of hours' support was 'emergencies only', and as also a Bank Holiday weekend, a response didn't arrive until Tuesday. The issues should have been discovered, and resolved, before we arrived. In our view Support should be proactive on the arrival day, including into the evening. We later reported the hot tub area lights as inoperative. The maintenance guy came round and plugged them in . Unfortunately this kept blowing the Laundry Room circuits, so we unplugged them again. I think this had been a long term issue. The downstairs toilet/bathroom door didn't have a lock. I bought a bolt from B&Q, and fitted it. The main lounge TV wouldn't hold a freeview tuning cycle. Reception kept degrading. Steps down into the garden from the hot tub area were loose and unsafe. Garden though was impressive, we wish we'd had better weather to enjoy it more. Kitchen could do with more baking trays/pans/utensils to cater for a 'full house'. Crockery that matched would more in keeping with the house style. Cutlery needs a major upgrade, for the full Manor House fine dining experience. None of the above was a major issue, so we would recommend The Manor House, and it's environs. It's a great part of the UK to visit.

The children had plenty of space and no one was tripping over each other. We barely had any issues with this house aside from one room had a large amount of damp on the wall so no one could sleep in there. We made it work as there was plenty of room for all of us. In the annexe there was a heating issue on the first night but we called the number and someone was out to fix it within the hour. I would absolutely stay here again the service and instructions from Julie prior to staying were clear. The house as a whole was clean and it was just what we needed to surprise my husband!
