Being spread over 4 floors was a bit of a novelty and meant lovely views of the harbour from the top floor bedroom. The location was very central with pubs, restaurants, the town centre and the seafront all within walking district. Despite it's central location it was still fairly quite. The kitchen was very small, but well equipped and manageable for simple holiday meals, and with takeaways so close by we didn't cook much anyway. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were all clean and modern. The courtyard was a bit scruffy and could do with a bit of TLC. We ended up tidying it up ourselves, weeding and chucking away some old smelly crabbing equipment. Some of the doors were a bit sticky and my daughter found herself locked out of her bedroom for the night, before we could get permission to break the door down in the morning. Other than those slight maintenance issues the property was great. The parking permits were very handy, but we did have to park a few minutes walk away as spaces are not always readily available.

Fridge door needs fixing. Courtyard scruffy and only 2 outside chairs. Great position though for accessing all of Scarborough.

My only little comment on a negative side would be More oven cookware required, tins a little tired, Pyrex would be good. 5pm to gain entry to the property is a little late, when wanting to get settled in after a long drive, if this could be made earlier say 3pm - it would be perfect. Thank you to the owners for letting us stay in your beautiful holiday home we will definitely book again
