  • "Returning visit to 18 Howard Street."

    We came this time last year. Have returned due to the fact that it is a great place to stay. It is in a great location with a pub (The Albert) and shop (One Stop) at the end of the road. A short walk to a great cafe (North Bay Cafe) just beyond is Peasholm Park with a great Chippy (North Bay Fisheries) it's only a short walk into town for all the shops and pubs. Would definitely recommend We will return Thanks for having us! Phil & Janice

    It had everything we could possibly need and was equipped for every eventuality. We noticed for young families it had buckets, spades, nets etc so catered for the youngest. It was beautifully clean, the beds were extremely comfortable. Thankyou for having us !! The house was perfectly located for the beach, Town centre, pubs , restaurants etc. We will be back.

  • "Upon opening the door we were hit by an extremely musty smell."

    I mean it smelt pretty bad with an old and dirty runner in the hallway. The front room was basic and we had difficulty watching the tv as it was plonked on a piece of wood in the corner and could not be turned. The kitchen was not particularly clean. Microwave smelt and was rusty. Oven was filthy and much of the cutlery and dishes etc had to be washed before we used them. The toilet seat up stairs was loose and the toilet leaking. There was also a great big mark on the front windows which looked like human snot. Unfortunately, either due to the dust or animals previously being in the property I was fairly unwell to the point we left early.

    We are absolutely devastated at this review and what you found. The runner in the hall has been down a long time, but it does save the carpet from wearing. (We will look to replace it). We have just bought a new smart TV that has wide legs, so the wood, which you can hardly see, makes it a bit more stable. (We will see if we can get it put on the wall). We use contract cleaners and have never had a complaint, I will be speaking with them. I know nothing about the toilet seat being loose or leaking, we were there 2 weeks before you and it was fine. (we will get a plumber round to check it). As for the window I haven't a clue! This is a no animal property. We are very sorry you had to leave early and we will look into each issue. Property Owner

    Very clean and comfortable. Everything available that was needed. Easy walking distance to some lovely restaurants and of course close to the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. My only quibble was initially trying to find out about parking nearby. I felt I had to do a bit of searching before I found details of restrictions, etc. The owners had very kindly left us a parking disc at the property. Thank you. We both love Scarborough. This was the fifth stay for us.

    Sorry about this, hopefully there was parking tickets for you to park on the street. Property Owner

  • "This was our 3rd visit to Howard Street and, as usual, everything was perfect."

    I wholeheartedly agree with the March review - that the linen was quality and all the other facilities were tip top. We had a wee problem with finding the ironing board eventually and are still a bit perplexed that we were given dishwasher tablets but couldn't find the dishwasher but who cares - the local pub and various local restaurants are brilliant so we needed minimal washing up! If you do go there the local cab company Nippy Taxis also provide excellent service. Hope to return yet again in the not too distant future.

    Thank you for the excellent feedback, we are so pleased you have returned once Again! We look forward to your future visits. I think our wonderful cleaners leave dishwasher tablets in all the welcome packs. Property Owner

  • "Had a lovely 3 days here, the house was immaculate and well equipped."

    It was homely and comfortable. The bedroom in the front was the one we used, the bed was amazing and the bedding and pillows were luxury hotel style. It was so comfortable. The shower was a great power but you have to get the heat right as its mixer taps, but we got it perfect and it was very powerful. A great added bonus having a shower and toilet downstairs. We had no complaints about the house at all. The location is brilliant, everything on the doorstep. A great pub a stones throw from the house called The Albert, friendly and welcoming. Loads of takeaways on the doorstep. We got the x93 bus into Robin Hoods Bay and walked the coastal route to Whitby (7 miles) which was lovely (despite the weather) But if you like walking this is a great route. Will definitely recommend and return.

    Thank you for this amazing review. You are our first visitors this year, great to get positive feedback. Property Owner

    Local amenities as described are good and it is but a short walk into town. In my case because of mobility issues, most of the time we went about using Nippy Cabs who were brilliant. I recommend anyone who needs a place in Scarborough to consider 18 Howard Street. It was home from home and was 99% tops. Had to deduct 1% coz the bathroom lights don't work - no hardship as we used the downstairs on instead!
