A great disappointment and not worth the money

The property has great potential but was dirty and had cobwebs in a number of areas. The bins in the kitchen were dirty and we were left with one tea towel and no spare bin liners. Walls in the bedroom on the first floor were dirty and in need of a coat of paint. The ceiling in the bedroom was also flaking. Curtains hardly fit the windows and the shower curtain in the main bathroom was filthy.Much of the crockery was mismatched and chipped . The hot tub had sediment in the bottom

Property review

A very large roomy property in a quiet location with ample off road parking. A well equipped kitchen with a clean oven/hob and fridge. The property is extremely tired with the carpets/curtains/soft furnishings/bedding and towels all in need of replacing. The hot tub wasn’t very clean and there was dog poo in various places on the lawn. There was no hand wash, bin liners or washing up liquid and sponges with only one tea towel and dish cloth provided. The owner stated in his email that these items would be provided and if anything was needed to contact him, however we required them as soon as we arrived especially the hand wash. Therefore we had to go and purchase them ourselves.

House in scarborough

Overall enjoyed our stay. Loved the hot tub. Beds were comfy. The house was well equipped and well supplied with all the essentials. It was in a good location not far from the italian gardens and lovely views of scarborough bay. Only downside we found the sofas quite uncomfortable which was a shame as everything else was good.

Great location, plenty of space but house needs some tlc

We all loved the location and how spacious the house is. We were also impressed by how well equipped the kitchen is. But with the exception of one bedroom, the beds were incredibly uncomfortable and desperately need new mattresses. The house is lovely but generally looks tired and is in need of a facelift. The same can be said of the garden and the garden furniture as its present condition is not at all inviting.

Great location and ample space but a little tired

The house itself is a beautifully large home with a lovely garden, it could use a little bit of redecorating but it is clean and made a pleasant base for our stay. Location was amazing was it is really close to lovely walks along the beach. If you have anyone with a wheelchair or walking difficulties then please be mindful that there are steep hills and steps down to the beach, or there is a bus conveniently located on the main road

Disappointed

Unfortunately, the property was not as clean as I would have expected. The chairs in the kitchen were very soiled and dirty as was the trays for the oven. We did try and clean them, but it didn’t help. Luckily, we had tin foil. We found sweets on the floor in the kids bedroom and clothes in our wardrobe. Th hot tub had sand in it on arrival, we were told that it was checked everyday and that new tablets were added to the dispenser daily. We did check with the owner, but he is probably not aware what happens. We were told on leaving when the tub was being emptied-- we put all the tablets in on day 1 and they should last all week. They were gone by Sunday!! The property really needs updating because it is a lovely location, but we will not becoming back. Some of the family did book to come back to the area next year whilst we were there but to a different location.

Excellent stay in sunny Scarborough

We have enjoyed a lovely week away. Remote check in was faultless and we appreciated a 3pm arrival as we were able to drop our bags before heading to the supermarket. House was exactly as described, with all rooms cleaned well. Hot tub was a big hit for everyone, though an outdoor shower would have been ideal. Decor is simple but practical and neighbourhood was quiet with plenty of parking. It provided the perfect base for our holiday and would definitely recommend.

Brilliant weekend break

Excellent facilities in this house, loads of space for the family, (4 adults and 5 kids). Everything you need when away from home, very well equipped. It is close enough to the sea front, 10 minute drive or 20 minute walk so not too busy or noisy from tourists. The owners were very helpful, answered all of our questions quickly and gave us all the information we needed. I can definitely recommend this house for a family break, we all had a fantastic time. We will be booking again!

Great Location and hot tub!!

We had to book somewhere at the last minute and as this had a hot tub it ticked the box and it did not disappoint as the hot tub made it!! The location is around the corner for the sea so it's great for dog walks and beach and also for walking into the main town of Scarborough. We had not visited this area before and were pleasantly surprised about how beautiful the beaches are and how gorgeous the coastline is, highlights were Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. Scarborough is also great though and has plenty of restaurants, ie a good place for a base. The house itself is basically furnished but does the job as described. I would say that it's ideal for a family gathering. or a hen party. The owner could not have been more helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend the house for a stay as there is so much to do on the doorstep. It also has wifi and netflix which is good if it's raining, and there's always the hot tub which is fitted with lights and is fully heated and seats 7 so that was brilliant. The garden is also secure so great for doggies.

Great location for east coast

Communication with the owner was excellent and the information provided was comprehensive. The house is in an excellent spot for scarborough and filey and ideal for anyone with dogs as the walks are very close. The hot tub was excellent even in october, my grandson loved it. The board games in the cupboard came in handy for games nights. Would definately stay here again

About the host

Hosted by Darren Wordsworth

Father of two boys aged 5 and 8 and lived in Scarborough for many years. We bought the property in 2009 and have put a lot of time and effort in renovating to a good standard.

Why they chose this property

The location is great, on a quite tree lined street with not much passing traffic. Being able to walk out of the door down to a beautiful little beach or walk through the Italian gardens is fantastic. We prefer older properties and this house has plenty of charm with many original features such as the stained glass window and round window at the front of the house.
The house is also very large so there is lots of space to have family to stay.
Garden is very large with plenty of grass to play football with the children.
