Guests say
Royal Victoria House in Scarborough receives high praise for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the hot tub. The property is ideal for large gatherings, with ample space for both adults and children. While some minor maintenance issues and a lack of wardrobe space are noted, the overall experience is very positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The majority of reviews highlight the property's cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and well-maintained. A few minor comments suggest room for improvement, but these do not detract significantly from the overall perception of a clean property.
Guests consistently praise the property's location for being close to attractions, the beach, and the town centre, while also being in a quiet area. The convenience of parking and ease of access to local amenities contribute to the high rating.
Comfort is frequently mentioned positively, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the property spacious. Some guests noted issues with specific beds and a lack of a downstairs toilet, which suggests room for improvement in this category.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and the addition of a hot tub is often mentioned favourably. However, there are several remarks about the lack of wardrobe space, mirrors, and minor maintenance issues, indicating that while facilities are generally good, there is scope for enhancement.
While many reviews express gratitude for the property and the responsiveness of the owner, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

The house is huge and has original features, high ceilings and is very cosy. Well stocked in the kitchen, great hot tub, comfortable beds which provided a great sleep. Lovely bath and shower in the first floor bathroom and from other bathrooms according to family members, lots of space for all fourteen of us. Very clean and nicely decorated. Location is great with a short walk to the beach and the main town and also a quick walk to local shops. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting a Scarborough break and will keep in mind for the future.
