ROBERT
The house is very large and comfortably fit our 13 adults and 3 kids whether we were all together or in small groups in the different rooms. Very clean and tidy with all the appliances youâd need, a nice touch of having washing up liquid, washing machine and dishwasher tablets. Hot tub very clean, hot and you could even have a view of the TV. A few things to note, the off-road parking is a bit tight. If youâve got larger cars youâd only only comfortably get 1 in but thatâs no issues as passes are provided for parking on the street, a nice touch from the owners having discs for visiting other parts of Scarborough. Thereâs no downstairs toilet and the stairs are quite steep, so keep that in mind for any older family members. The WiFi was abit slow with everyone on it, unable to load Netflix on the tv. We had an issue with the central heating but someone was round within 5 minutes and all sorted. All these things were very minor and didnât impact our stay, just something to keep in mind. Overall a very nice stay and a very attentive host who had great communication.

Everywhere was clean and it was great to be able to sit together to eat or socialise - but there was sufficient space to be separate if necessary The hot tub was a definite plus Parking was not a problem - even for 8 cars - and parking discs and scratch off cards were provided. We rang owner on arrival as key safe was empty - she was very helpful and issue was resolved in minutes. House is only a few minutes walk from Peasholm Park and North Bay. There is a convenient shop, chip shop and even a bar ( although we didnât go in) close by . Would definitely return if doing a group holiday again

Really comfortable and clean. Excellent information all laid out and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment. Unfortunately the outside space had cat poo right next to the outdoor eating space (which had obviously just been covered over with straw, rather than cleaned up.) The facilities team responded by text to us but didn't come to clean it up so we just couldn't face using that area. This was a disappointment in a house that cost so much to hire.
