It was spacious, comfortable and well located. All the rooms being ensuite was a bonus and the beds were very comfy. A very short walk to the beach, park and some nice pubs. We hope to return!

The house was amazing, with en-suite bedrooms to accommodate everybody. It was spotlessly clean, very warm and had everything we needed to cook, relax and enjoy our stay. Hillcrest is in an ideal spot for enjoying Scarborough with the North Bay, cafes and local shops nearby. Thank you.

There was plenty of room to relax and a huge dining space, though the kitchen is a little tight for a large house. Very handy for a large group that all bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms, making it much easier to get out and about on a morning!
