  We had a great time, 5 of us (2 adults and 3 kids).

  The kids all got their own rooms, so quite indulgent and we had 2 guests stay one night and we didn't feel like we were crowded. Maybe a few extra utensils and pans wouldn't have gone amiss but no big deal tbh. Whilst one of the other reviews noted the shared aspect with the owner downstairs in a completely separate flat, it was no problem for us and we were left to our own devices...we could use the pool as much as we liked without the hassle of having to book or share like some other places (and the kids could not be dragged out of it on most days). It had an exercise bike as well so I could keep watch on our kids in the pool and cycle at the same time, shower and then jump in with them..all with the ever present Smart TV screens. The massive TV in the lounge was great for us to settle with a good film after a good day out and exhausted from the pool..with Sky movies included. Closest beach is less than 5 miles away, an abundance of fish n chip shops, combined with trips to Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, it was a good week, even with the rain on and off but that the British Summer for you - take some macs and don't worry about it. I think you'd be hard pressed to get the seaside and private pool combo for this price. Just make sure whoever stays at the top of the house isn't too tall as they'll likely bump their head in the eves. The only thing to note is that the listing says it has an EV charger but it doesn't and it was fine for me as Rob, the owner told me in advance. I left home without my cables to charge anyhow but found that the nearby Morrisons had a nice spot/fast charger if needed (whilst getting a cheeky coffee or breakfast). Oh and take extra towels or you'll be forever washing them if you're going in the pool a lot and if you're like me and don't like the noise of the machine clanking away when you're trying to relax then take some extras! Great place overall - would recommend.

  Very happy with the flat and contents. The actual road that the block was in turned out to be a bit more run down than I was expecting, (but to be fair, the whole of Scarborough was rather an unpleasant shock in that respect!). We loved the views of the bay from the living room and kitchen, but the noise of seagulls kept us awake on several nights. (I should just mention that we live close to the coast, so do realise what they are like, but had never experienced them so loudly or during the night to such an extent. ) The weather while we were there was unfortunately not good (there was a heavy bank of cloud over that stretch of coast for 6 of the 7 days that we stayed) while the rest of the country was basking in the heat! So we didn't use the outside space anyway, but would have been put off by the fact that it was so over-looked by all the other flats and the various designated areas didn't have much privacy. It also appeared as though there was no table and chairs in the section that was labelled for Seahaven? Our only other criticisms of the flat itself would be that there was a very unpleasant drainy smell in the bathroom a lot of the time and that although in general the provisions in the kitchen were good (cleaning stuff/sugar/condiments etc.,) there wasn't a tablet for the dishwasher provided. We bought a pack as we have one at home anyway, so were able to take them with us, but if you didn't it would be quite annoying to have to spend out on them. There was one for the washing machine (not that we used it), but would have expected the same for the diswasher. In all other respects it was a nice flat, well decorated and comfortable.

  We couldn’t fault the accommodation, it was a great location, everything you needed was within walking distance.

  The kids loved the pool, we bought along inflatables and plenty of pool toys and it was a struggle to get them back out. As mentioned the beach was also within walking distance and we were lucky to have some great weather whilst we were away. The accommodation itself was spacious, the kitchen was fully equipped, great to have tableware for the kids as I’m always worried they would damage something. The TV’s in each room were a bonus for that amount of people. The living area was our favourite, plenty of space for everyone to chill and relax together after dinner. My only drawback was the pool area started to smell very damp/sewage on the 2nd from and last day we were there, I’m not sure if the chlorine levels needed to be checked more frequently. Although the kids didn’t seem to be bothered by it, none of us adults really used the pool with the smell. Honestly though this didn’t deter from the great week we had here, we are likely to return and would 100% recommend both the location and accommodation to anyone with a large / extended family.

  The property was well laid out, comfortable and nicely furnished.

  Close to the pub, pool and park, beach, shop etc. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed our stay. However, we were woken at night and in the early hours by doors banging either other apartments or the main entrance, mostly by dog owners. There was no outdoor space for the children so we were all either in or out of the appartment. I must also mention the John Paul as being the worst pub I've ever been in. The length of time we had to wait for food was up to 90 minutes, the children weren't able to wait patiently, on the third occasion we waited patiently and eventually asked if food was coming only to be told the order hadn't been placed. When the food did arrive there was human hair in the salad and the risotto was more like balls of clotted cream. It would have made a good sitcom so many people leaving without saying or getting full refunds on their food. So why didn't we go elsewhere? Because we couldn't get a table they were all closed due to staff shortages of fully booked.

  Property wasn't cleaned or maintained to the holiday rental standard.

  There were dog hair on the carpets and spider webs on all the windows and corner of the ceiling. Bathroom knob kept falling off. One of the kitchen bulbs wasnt even working. Toilets were not even flushed after putting bleach. No basic facilities like handwash or tea/coffee/sugar, kitchen foil, spare bin bags etc were provided. These are things available at every airbnb. The dining table wasnt suitable for indoors. I ended up hurting myself twice during the stay and getting bruises while saving my baby crawling around, so if you're travelling with an infant, I wouldn't recommend this place at all. It is not at all safe. There is no electric car charger within 5 miles. It was overall very inconvenient and disappointing stay that spoiled our first Christmas with my lil girl. Such a shame!!
