"On arrival the apartment was lovely, very clean, nicely decorated."
Had a small well presented kitchen, oven was very good, could do with some baking trays though (only thing missing really from the kitchen). Beds were comfortable, and had additional throws if needed, pillows & mattress had protectors on, but pillows were quite thin.
Bathroom was immaculate, huge walk in shower with two shower heads. However the apartment is run off a hot water cylinder and we found that the water ran cold half way through the third person showering (you then have to wait 30/40 minutes for it to heat up again). Basically, shower quickly!
The only thing that was an issue, which was quickly resolved by the owners, is that the windows were quite dirty on the outside. Literally sent a message the first night and window cleaners were out the next morning, really good response.
The view is absolutely stunning, so needed clean windows!
The apartment is in a quiet part of the street, we had no issues with noise, etc. it’s very centrally located, 10 minute walk to South Shore (where amusement arcades, restaurants, fair, etc is located) 10 minute walk to shops. 10 min walk down to North Beach which the apartment overlooks. Lots of lovely other beaches near as well, I would recommend Clayton Beach.
25 min drive to Robin Hoods Bay, 35 min drive to Whitby.
It really is a great apartment, good location with stunning views.
The only negative is parking. This is on a first come first served basis and was a bit of a nightmare, one evening it took 2 hours to find a space, but this was on a change over day (Friday). Parking permit is provided so it doesn’t cost anything, but remember to check the zone you park in matches the zone on the permit, otherwise the permit is not valid.
Overall I would definitely recommend the apartment, we had a lovely stay.

"I listed numerous, previously ignored points
e."
G. no washing machine...so not suitable for family with children needing clean clothes.
no shower mat 4 slippery cubicle.
mirrors and coat hooks, all at adult height only
Antiquated T.V.
no wall clock
No recycling facilities either inside flat or outside/
No basics for cooking e.g, salt and pepper...
Thank you for your feedback- we have seen the notes previously but could not respond
1. Washing machine - as you are aware we are limited for room and we took the view that most holiday makers would prefer a dishwasher and take their washing home
2.shower mats - we were advised that these are unhygienic therefore we have chosen not to put one in the flat
3. Coat hooks and mirrors - we feel that these could be a hazard for children if placed at lower height
4 Tv - this is only a couple of years old
5. No wall clock - most people have phones with the time on and we do not feel a clock is necessary
5. Recycling- unfortunately we have no control over this - this is something that is dealt with by Management Committee- I have experienced this before when we have stayed at different places so I generally take my recycling home
6. Basic supplies - this is not something that we say we supply (other than the welcome pack), some guests do leave items at the flat. We could supply supplies but this would increase the cost of the rental and everyone wants different things
I am sorry you have not found our flat to your satisfaction.

Heating was off on arrival (December) Cold flat.
No separate re-cycling bins..
Otherwise a well presented apartment.

"Very pleasant apartment with lovely views."
Ideal for 2 adults and 2 children. 4 adults would be a bit tight - the second bedroom only has room for the two beds although there is ample storage space underneath them. However, there is a large hanging rail with plenty of hangers in the main bedroom. For anyone who prefers to buy their own food rather than rely on take-aways the fridge is a little small and icebox very limited. No freezer. However, shops are just a few minutes away. For anyone who doesn't know Scarborough (and we didn't) this flat is facing North Bay - much quieter than South Bay with it's amusement arcades etc. The parking permits provided were extremely helpful - we were able to park for free outside the apartment without an issue, but obviously at a quiet time of year. Owners were responsive and helpful via mobile and the place was spotlessly clean and well equipped with plenty of cutlery and crockery etc. Lots of games for any children. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the storms !

"A beautiful apartment with everything you could wish for."
The books and games are a lovely touch and we're enjoyed by all, particularly 'Say what you see' game. Everything was clean and beautifully presented. Definitely will stay here again.
Only thing which could have improved it would be some kind of hanging rail in the small bedroom as we all had to hang our clothes in the main bedroom (didn't want clothes just folded in the drawers under the bed).
Maybe a couple of hooks in the bathroom to hang towel on near the shower and near the sink.
Very minor things I know and certainly won't stop us returning. Thank you for a lovely stay

"Very good stay any problem we had was very quickly solved by the contacts really enjoyed our stay
The only comment we would make if you want to read and there are plenty of books thank you the main lights have to be on which is a waste of energy, and disturbs others as they are bright our suggestion and if we owned the property this is what we would do
Either an up lighter which would be very good or a table lamp
This is a positive suggestion not a complaint!"
!!!!
Looking forward to our next stay

"As I have said before the owner should have a couple nights themselves in the apartment and read all comments made by other clients they will then realise what they need to supply to make the apartment more comfortable for their clients
And are essential items for a basic stay."
Some kind person had placed the envelope with the parking permits on top of a wall cupboard behind the cornice so they could not be seen I had to ring the owner and after a thorough search in every cupboard by standing on a chair we found them .where normally they would be left on the worktop in clear view
My only other concern is that items which were loose and damaged at our first stay are still damaged ie (Toilet Seat ) and rinse aid dispenser in dishwasher
The above is meant as constructive criticism we have had a wonderful stay but feel a few little items would vastly improve the experience of the apartment and clients stay

"This is an excellent property with a stunning view of Scarborough's North Bay - exactly as shown in the photo online."
We found the beds to be comfortable and the shower hot and powerful.
I'd recommend providing a cafetiere but otherwise the apartment's very well-appointed. It would be helpful if instructions for the oven and hob were available plus the info that the 'parking disc' is not circular - but with the exception of these minor points it's totally recommended.

Great walk-in shower. It would have been 10 out of 10 but a few very little things that were missing but would be useful.
1. A full length mirror.
2. An extra shelf in the shower for shower gel and shampoo bottles.
3. Wall clock.
4. Toilet brush.
5. Iron and board.
Television was also very slow. But apart from those little things 9.5 out of 10.
