  • "Lovely accommodation and perfect location for going to the beach"

    Reviewed by Hannah4.4Sep 2024

  • "We stayed as a party of 18 from 18 months to 84 years + Jack Russell last week of August."

    Ample parking for 4 cars, gravel drive 2 small steps to front door not a big problem for two with mobility problems. Ground floor with two bath rooms and ensuite no mobility problems. One remote single bedroom enjoyed by occupant who could get away from the others when needed! 3 people had August Birthdays which we celebrated in the lounge with 3 cakes and 3 "This is Your Life" videos displayed on the 57 inch Smart TV bluetoothed to a laptop. Ample seating space. Dining room more than adequate space and seating and used for evening games and a Snug Room if you wanted to read while others watched the TV. All in all a very good family get together and break.

    Thank you very much for that wonderful review. I assume you meant 75" SMART TV lol. Glad you had a great stay and thank you so much for respecting the house and leaving it so clean for us. If ever you decide to stay with us again we have a specially made ramp in the garage to allow access with no steps for wheelchair users. Hopefully see you again in the future. Many thanks.

  • "Absolutely loved our stay at Seacrest Lodge last week (12th August 2924) !"

    From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality by Phil and Sam who came to personally welcome us, The house is a beautifully maintained property. The rooms were impeccably clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated, offering stunning views of the surrounding nature. We were particularly impressed by the attention to detail—the fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed, and the cozy living area with a fireplace made our evenings extra special. The outdoor space was a dream, with a private hot tub and a barbecue area where we enjoyed several lovely meals. The location was ideal, providing a peaceful retreat while still being close to local attractions and scenic spots. We loved exploring the nearby hiking trails which were absolutely breathtaking and then returning to the lodge to unwind. Phil and Sam went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, they answered all our questions around the clock, literally giving us 24 hours service. They really are amazing hosts!They made our stay so comfortable and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this lodge as it is absolutely perfect for a holiday!

    Wow thank you so much for that amazing feedback. it was lovely to meet you all and thank you for leaving the place so clean and tidy. Hopefully we may see you again in the future. All the best Phil and Sam Property Owner

    This was a family gathering ranging from 3 years to 92 years old. The owners are very responsive for any queries and full instructions for keys prior to arrival. The lodge and the weather was perfect! We were able to make use of the wrap around garden which was an amazing safe space for kids and family games and the hot tub was perfect! The lodge is spacious and had everything we needed. Very clean with bedding and towels included. There was ample parking spaces on the drive for our 5 large cars. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting large family accommodation close to Scarborough centre.

  • "The property was very spacious, like a tardis!"

    It was superb for my family get together to celebrate my 60th. It wasn’t immaculate, but, to be honest I was pleased it wasn’t, if it had been a show house I would have been worried all the time about bumps and knocks. The welcome pack, with tea, coffee, sugar, milk, dishwasher tablets etc was a fantastic idea. We loved our time here and made some very happy family memories. It was the hottest weekend of the year so far, the house it self was very hot, opened every opening windows. Maybe a fan here and there wouldn’t be a bad idea. I don’t know how it would be done, but gates on the drive might be a good idea, to help keep the little ones penned in. But overall I would describe the house and our stay there as excellent.

    Thank you for that Tim. we do have gates in the end garage but we took them off as some people said they would prefer it open as easier to get cars in and out. I will maybe put a few stand up plug in fans in the house as well even though it was unusually hot. Great to maybe welcome you back again in the future Property Owner

  • "Couldn’t use all the rooms we had paid for as radiators were faulty and no heating coming through on a freezing cold weekend."

    Not adequate pots cooking facilities for the amount of people that can accommodate the property. Ovens dirty and shelves not fitting properly. So hard to cook. Shame because lovely place just not well maintained and cleaned.

    The heating was not up to 20 degrees as I set the app wrong as I was in Abu Dhabi as I explained to you and you seemed OK with. Within 2 hours of your arrival it was up to temperature and there is no fault as it has been checked out. The room you refer to was a conservatory and it was minus 5 outside so it did take longer to warm up as anyone with a conservatory through winter will tell you. There was no dirt in the cooker and it seems very strange that you were happy with everything until we deducted money from you good housekeeping bond for.the damage you caused and the disgusting state you left the house in. I do not accept the house was dirty we have an amazing cleaning team who actually call and see guests a few hours after they arrive and you told her everything was perfect. She checks if everything is OK and if there is anything you need. It was my fault with the heating I admit that and because of the time difference I set the heating to come on at 2pm instead of 12pm via my online app. By 6.40pm it was 19.degrees Property Owner

    Quiet road, garden and hot tub enjoyed by all, ( a bit too highly chlorinated for little ones-maybe that can be adjusted?) Lounge with adjoining room most suitable to supervise children at play without losing out on grown-up togetherness. Owners' communication before and during stay were very prompt and always helpful. Only wish I had asked a little sooner Could do with better cutlery for more enjoyment of meals, rather camping-style , but not a problem as such.

  • "Our first impression was that the house was spacious and clean."

    However, having looked around, there were some major issues with cleaning and maintenance. Other people’s dog poo bags were left outside by a plant pot and poo in the rear garden, which we cleaned up. The cigarette butt holder was rammed full and butts had fallen onto the ground. There were cobwebs in most rooms which had been there for some time along with higher level dust. Kitchen pans/grill tray still had fat/food residue and some plates were not clean. We had to wash before using some. One cooker top was splattered in fat. One bedroom had peanuts under the bed. Toilet brushes/holders were all filthy, one had poo in the brush. The spa bath plug was full of hair, which we had to remove for the water to drain and the same with the downstairs shower room. This shower was also mouldy/dirty and the tray moved when it was stood on - it had a mat stuck to it with sealant which looked disgusting. The shower in the en-suite to bedroom 3 had a pungent, stagnant water smell and we bought bleach to get rid of the smell which had crept into the bedroom. The upstairs en-suite shower tray was in the same condition as the downstairs shower room but also had a rusty shower pipe and rust on the door and light. We also found (as a previous review last October) the same issue with the fridge/freezer doors being joined together which made the freezer ice up and unusable. Two trays on the fridge door were cracked. The lounge door was missing its catch so could not be closed. Snug door was tricky to lock/unlock. DVD player was not connected and, when plugged in, did not work. We had to buy batteries for the remote controls which did not work/missing. When going into the back entrance, the door mat is not thick enough for its inset and is a trip hazard. None of the extractor fans work. The bedroom across the garage needs another light in the garage to illuminate the steps when leaving that bedroom. The WC upstairs has a broken tap and light fitting which is taped up. The heating control has been changed and the heating is only on for 6 hours a day being controlled by the owners phone. As we had snow one night it was cold for the 1 year old in our party so contacted the owner who said he would put it on constant, but never did. He turns the heating off in April according to the welcome book, which is outdated. On a positive note, the property is spacious and well equipped, the owner is approachable and visited before we left to hear our concerns. He has, apparently, now spoken to his cleaners and changed the broken tap. We do have photos of the issue mentioned.

    I apologise if the last guests had not disposed of their bags correctly, we provide bins and trailers for them to do so. We did not see or would have done so ourselves. On the way around the house the cobwebs you pointed out were not there on your arrival. We get a lot of cobwebs as it is a very dry house. The cleaners go round with an extendable pole and remove them all every changeover. I apologise if the crockery was not checked properly or put away dirty. I have raised this with my cleaning team and it will be checked more thoroughly. All our bathrooms have the plugholes regularly cleaned and after EVERY changeover we put bleach in all the plugholes and toilets so it always smells fresh. On examination all the plugholes were clean and had no smell coming from them. Rusty shower pipe was changed. We found a few specs of mould had started in the groutwork which were sprayed with a remover and now gone The fridge and freezer doors have now been separated and open independently from each other. The broken tap was not broken but had come slightly loose which was wear and tear, 30 seconds and a wrench and you will be pleased to know it is back to its former self Heating control is brand new 3 months ago and the instruction book is detailed.

    The house is very well presented. The reclining sofa's in the living room are perfect after a day out walking. The amount of space for parking was great after years of having to mess around with Permits and ensuring we swap tickets over each morning. We comfortably fit 6 cars within the property and there was easily enough room for 1 or 2 more without blocking anyone else in. Plenty of room in for food and drinks in the 2 fridge freezers and utility room. This is by far the best property we have rented in Scarborough. The only slight issues that we had found was the dial-up level of Internet coming from the WiFi (the owner spoke with BT and apparently the property will have Fibre broadband shortly, unfortunately this didn't happen during our stay), of which the owner was quick to deal with and respond.

  • "Before I go into the specifics of this review, I would like to tell you about the group."

    We were a group of 12 people from one family the age group was late twenties to Mid 90s. The surrounding area had a lot to offer and Filey Whitby and York were all in easy reach out the property. The property was the problem. The upstairs had 4 bedrooms and only one had en suit facilities. Every one else had to go downstairs to shower and use the toilet. One of the rooms was basically a cupboard with no window. Downstairs had only en suit room so the rest of the guests had to use the same bathroom toilet and shower facilities. The shower room cubical was very small and so was the sink in that room. The temperature of the showers fluctuated depending on who was flushing the toilet and running a tap. There was a smell coming from the kitchen because the drains and pipe work were blocked. We had to use a plunger to clear the kitchen sink the bathroom sink and the bath. The fact that there were 2 plungers available would suggest that this problem had occurred before. The kitchen equipment was very basic and would not look out of place in your camping gear. Some of the pots were in poor condition with the non stick scraped away and handles melted. The cooker hood just did not work. There was a crack in the wall in the conservatory that let in a draught. Overall the house was in need of a refurbish. We have stayed in many houses before and have NEVER felt the need to complain but this needs to said for the sake of the future tenants, the Owners and Sykes cottages. Had there been a visitors book these issues could have been resolved much earlier than this. We enjoyed our holiday due to the area it’s in and the company NOT DUE TO THE ACCOMMODATION. We would not recommend this house. Unfortunately for Sykes its the first time we have used them as a medium to book a holiday and sadly reflects badly on them too.

  • "This property was advertised as an eight bedroomed house, one of the bedrooms involved crossing through the garage and one of them was a windowless glorified cupboard in the eaves."

    Although there was plenty of living space we felt that the whole property was in need of a deep clean and possibly a bit of an refurbishment.

  • "Sixteen of us, aged 8 up to 96, went to Seacrest for a birthday celebration."

    It was perfect for us. Although we spent most of the time in the huge lounge there was plenty of room to spread out with a large conservatory, dining room seating 20, and lovely well-equipped kitchen. The 60” TV was ideal and there were DVDs and books for us to use. Then there was the hot tub which could be used day or night. The driveway is big enough for 6 cars and there’s a double garage too. We would definitely go back.

    It exceeded my expectations in every way. Very well equipped for a large group, all crockery matched enough glasses for everyone. Two ovens,two fridges,two freezers, two kettles, two toasters . May sound basic but I have been in other properties sleeping large numbers but not equipped for it. Fabulous weekend thanks

  • "We were delighted with the house and location."

    The house was very clean when we arrived, comfortable beds. Plenty of space for our group of 15 to all sit around the dining table together. Spacious lounge. Two ovens, two large fridges, plus a hot tub which was a luxury. One morning the water was not draining away in the bath, I phoned the owner and someone came the same day to fix it. We would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay here again.
