  Hi, we absolutely loved our stay and it was decorated beautifully, so modern and comfortable.

  Just a couple of minor things, there was a bit of a smell, when the doors were open it was fine you got used to it, but when we got up in the morning the smell was quite sour until we opened the doors. I stayed in the side room, there was no sockets near the mirror, there needs to be an assessable socket for us to do our hair etc, and there was nowhere to hang my clothes up in that room, I had to share with my guests in the front room. This is not a criticism just more of a suggestion, everywhere I’ve been where it is dog friendly, there’s always been a welcome basket of some sort, with bowls provided (not for keeping, just provided) some dog treats, sometimes a cheap blanket or toy (you can get a cheap pack of balls and leave a ball), some places leave some dog milk or pawsecco, and most have even took the time to ask their names and incorporated it somewhere in the package. Not saying you have to go that far but it’s a nice touch. Although it states dog friendly it didn’t feel it, I think with the lack of anything for a dog just made it feel they weren’t welcome. Like if you provided dog bowls or even a dog bed for if the owners have forgotten it or it’s an option to use the bed provided, I would of used the bed provided because not having to bring a dog bed as well as everything else is very welcome. Also a nice little welcome package for your human guests would be nice, maybe a nice note welcoming us with our names or at least the bookers name and maybe some small individual bottles of wine or Prosecco and some cookies or chocolates, it doesn’t have to cost a lot. Not having these things did not take away from our stay as we loved it, and you provided everything we needed for our stay, but they could add to the experience, and I think it’s the personal touches that draw us back, I personally think that within the price this could be incorporated. I think the instructions for entering the property need to be made clearer, it just stated touch the pad with fingers, I didn’t realise it meant put all 4 fingers on the pad. It might be stupid on my part but I thought it was a bit misleading, and we wasted a good 40 minutes trying to enter the property. The edges on the porch steps are quite sharp and with the steps being steep it was quite frightening to watch my dad who’s bad on his feet going down them, it would also be dangerous for small children. I think a hand rail on top of the wall on the right hand side would be helpful and if there was something to round the edges of the steps. With all being said I would 100% recommend staying here as there was no real problems, it was gorgeous and comfortable and had everything we needed.

  This was our second stay at the Penthouse (we previously stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of August this year for my son's Birthday).

  The penthouse is very comfortable and well equipped and we once again very much enjoyed our stay. The only feedback we would offer (the first part being a repeat of our previous feedback) is: 1. The curtains in the property are very basic and those above the two sets of patio doors in the lounge are both hard to reach and of a very cheap material - the apartment would be so much improved if the curtain rails could be upgraded to allow much easier operation and also if the curtain material could be either lined or replaced with thicker material, the light reduction would be much better (which is especially important in the lighter summer months). 2. The second minor niggle this time was that one of the two single beds was fitted with a lightweight summer duvet (the other single bed and the king size in the master bedroom appeared to have thicker, more weather appropriate duvets) - it would have been good to have a warm duvet on both single beds, as it was quite chilly at night (in October). We also (as per our August feedback) found the pillows a little soft and the mattress on one of the single beds a little uncomfortable but it was manageable. The apartment is beautifully situated for easy access to the North Beach and nearby cafes - its worth mentioning that we did note quite a bit of noise from the road at night time as it seems the neighbouring car park and nearby roads are used by local boy racers - there was a noticeable amount of engine revving and squealing tyres in the evening, which was slightly intrusive but tolerable - not sure where the local constabulary were when this was happening as its obviously a regular occurrence :). None of this detracted from our overall enjoyment but some tweaks to the curtains and the bedding would make a difference.

  My partner and I had a lovely stay at the Penthouse.

  The apartment was lovely and clean, very comfortable and with high quality furnishings. The beds were comfortable and we loved the Juliet Balcony from the double bedroom and living area (although we couldn't use them much due to the weather!). There is also a balcony to the rear of the property, again, we were unable to use this often due to the weather but it would be lovely in the summer. It is nice to have parking in a location so central to Scarborough and its North Bay attractions, parking is conveniently located around the back of the property and is numbered as per apartments. We had everything we needed and were warm and cosy in the apartment. North Bay is within a few minutes walk from the property and South Bay a bit further but all within easy reach of the apartment. We had some lovely days out at Whitby (including walking the 199 steps), Robin Hoods Bay, Filey and Filey Brigg - but also enjoyed evenings in too or walks around North Bay (watch out for those waves!). Overall, we loved the Penthouse, having stayed at Apartment 3 in June we loved it so much that we thought we would return for a short break at the Penthouse. Thank you for the wine upon arrival - it was much appreciated. My only negative, it would have been nice to have essentials (as we have had before) such as milk, salt and pepper and bin liners - But overall, it was amazing! Thank you.

  We had a wonderful stay in Flat 1 thank you.

  Our immediate response was "wow". The layout and cleanliness was faultless. However, I had read a review about the mirror and trouble drying hair in the second bedroom I had meant to take a mirror but forgot. I ended up using my phone on the window sill. A mirror on the wall near the window, where the picture is would be helpful. Or an extension lead! The toilet in the bathroom was tempormental and took several flushes to clear. And the water in the shower in the shower was slow to leave. I wondered if the plumbing is affected by high tide? My disabled niece struggled with the steps to the front door. I wonder if less able people could use the gate into the yard and let into the flat that way? The information folders were a God send - especially for the induction hob ! - It might be an idea to include how to open the bi-folding doors. I had to ring for help which came very quickly from you lovely caretakers. Also information about the bus that travels along West Road. I have already told all my friends about this wonderful flat and will be happy to return. Access to the yard was great. We all loved it, especially dog.

  The penthouse was an absolute gem.

  Beautifully decorated and clean. Very high standard throughout. Felt so relaxed staying. It was an idea base for either walking into town (if you like walking 1.5 miles) or driving to Whitby and Bridlington. There was a local shop not too far away down the hill. We didn’t hear any noise from our neighbours and only the odd car driving outside at night. One of the bedrooms is at the back if you want to escape any noise. Everything we needed was there including towels, a welcome bottle of wine and a pint of milk. They left us enough dishwasher tablets so didn’t have to do much washing up. There is 1 parking space at the back of the property for each apartment. The penthouse is No.5. In February there was no charge for parking on road until 1st March. Only thing I would suggest is taking your own pillows if you are particular. Nothing wrong with the ones there but found them either too big or too flat. Also there isn’t a DVD player which didn’t bother us as we took a few games to play. We will definitely be back to stay!
