Reviews consistently mention the property being clean and tidy upon arrival, indicating high standards of cleanliness. No negative comments about cleanliness were found.
The property is appreciated for its location, being a short walk or drive to the beach, town, and local attractions. Proximity to pubs and restaurants is also highlighted. However, on-street parking is noted as workable but not ideal.
Guests found the beds super comfy and the bedrooms roomy. The presence of underfloor heating and a woodburner contributed to a cosy stay. Some guests mentioned the house being cold in the evening and creaky floorboards.
The property is well-stocked with kitchen appliances and offers ample space for dining and socialising. However, several reviews mention minor maintenance issues such as loose toilet seats, dripping taps, and the need for more cooking utensils.
Guests were delighted by the thoughtful touches like welcome packs, flowers, wine, and cake. It's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Tucked away in the bustling town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, is this large five-bedroom house, Victorian House. Enjoying a fantastic location just paces away from the beach and local amenities, as well as easy access to the stunning surroundings of the North York Moors National Park, Victorian House is a superb dwelling for a family or group of 10 wanting to add a touch of grandeur to their escape. Within the property, you will find a wealth of original features, as well as a spacious and well-equipped kitchen for rustling up culinary delights for your loved ones to savour around the dining table for 10. Just off the kitchen is a ground-floor shower room with washing machine, perfect for freshening up after a day of exploring. After dinner, relax in the sitting room where you can select a much-loved film from the wall-mounted TV as the woodburning stove crackles nearby. The property also benefits from having its own private yard. On the first floor, you will find three double bedrooms, one with woodburning stove, each served by a bathroom and separate cloakroom for your convenience. Continue up to the second floor, where the two final bedrooms await, a large super-king-size with woodburning stove and an additional double. Explore the town, where you can spend a day on the golden sands of Scarborough Beach, visit the remarkable Scarborough Castle, enjoy the delights of Luna and Alpamare, catch a live performance at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre or sit back and relax as you take a coastal ride along the Scarborough North Way Railway. There are plenty of pubs, restaurants, and cafes to choose from, including The Newlands Park and The Watermark Café. For exceptional walking opportunities, you can join onto the Cleaveland Way trail which will take you to all the key towns and villages within the North York Moors National Park. Within the park, you will find the coastal town of Whitby, well-known for its Gothic Whitby Abbey, 199 Steps, vibrant seafront, and Whitby Museum. For a memorable day trip, why not head to the city of York, where you can tour the renowned York Dungeons, visit York Minster and the National Railway Museum? All this and more awaits at Victorian House.
Scarborough, a popular coastal resort since Victorian times, has preserved many of its ancient landmarks, including its castle and beautiful parks and gardens. Beautiful, child-friendly expanses of golden sand may be found in both North Bay and South Bay. Many adult and family-friendly attractions are also available in Scarborough, such as the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa, and Scarborough Open Air Theatre, where you can enjoy live performances even when the weather isn't cooperating. Golf courses, scenic coastal walks along the Cleveland Way, spectacular cycle paths like the ancient railway to Whitby, beautiful sailing, and world-class surfing can all be found in and around Scarborough. When you factor in all the standard coastal attractions and the lively promenades near to the ocean, Scarborough becomes the ultimate family vacation spot. Scarborough is a great place to base a vacation because of its proximity to the shore and the moors.

I would recommend staying at Victorian house. The house is lovley, spacious and clean. The beds are comfy and loads of wardrobe space. The bathroom downstairs was great with shower and washer in there. Theres a Massive table in the dinning room which we sat around for family meals and played games in the evenings. The Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed when we cooked a meal. Even had a dishwasher. The children loved playing chess and the table top pool table that was at the house. Theres a bathroom on the 1st floor with a bath and another shower and a seperate toilet next door. All 5 bedrooms were all lovley tidy and clean when we arrived. Dogs are welcolme . We had 4 dogs with us which was lovley as they are part of our family too. There is a enclosed yard to the rear with garden furniture. Would stay again had such a lovley time. Thank you

Couldn't believe how big the bedrooms were! Kitchen was very well equipped had everything we needed. Short drive to beach with the kids but you could walk it if you wanted to. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Such as dish washer and washing machine. It would also be nice to have a second key (I know there is a lock box but sometimes it is quicker to pop out). The fuse box should be available to reset if trips.
