Guests say
Harbourside House in Scarborough receives praise for its excellent location, spacious bedrooms, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the pet-friendly policy and thoughtful touches like a welcome basket and essential supplies. While some guests mention noise from nearby establishments and a small living room, the property's proximity to the beach and central location are consistently highlighted as major positives.
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though some guests noted the presence of sand upon arrival and suggested the addition of a hoover to better manage this. The issue with the kettle indicates a minor oversight.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and local attractions, making it a convenient base for exploring Scarborough.
While the bedrooms are noted to be spacious and the beds comfortable, the living room is described as small and the furniture basic, which affects the overall comfort for larger groups.
The kitchen is well-equipped, but issues with maintenance such as a leaky washing machine, problematic fire alarms, and a lack of contact for assistance have been reported. The addition of a window lock was handled promptly.
Guests appreciate the welcome basket and the provision of essentials like milk, tea, and coffee. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while a kind gesture, are not guaranteed for every stay.
