It was a real test of endurance ! Positive: It was a central location, not far from amenities Negative: We didn’t like the six flights of stairs, and we should have been informed before we booked, we are pensioners and we found it very difficult and our dog really struggled with it.

parking in whole of scarborough is permit only, the place promises to provide a permit that will allow for parking outside the apartment. their only solution was to park in a carpark 10 minute walk away, and provide compensation up to £30 for a 3 night stay. it cost £36 to park for 3 nights. the apartment is up 3 flights of narrow and steep stairs which is not well advertised. anyone with mobility issues would not be able to access the apartment. there were marks on the duvet sheets and a large hole in the duvet cover, as-well as several smaller holes in some of the towels. the water pressure is very poor and the water is very cloudy, we purchased bottled water for drinking and only uses tap water for washing and boiling. the surrounding areas are beautiful and scarborough is a lovely place to visit with lots of dog friendly amenities. overall we did enjoy our visit through will not be returning nor booking through host and stay again

Very basic property but fairly priced. wifi was patchy at best, shower pressure was terrible and struggled to maintain temperature. I had vehicle trouble yhe day before checkout and informed the host that I would be unable to check out before the checkout time, there was no offer of a later checkout even though I had been in the place for 4 weeks. A bit more flexibility and consideration would have been appreciated especially considering how long the booking was.

Some good points, some not so good but not dealbreakers. Overall very happy with our stay. Positive: 8 minute walk to the open air theatre (reason we went in the first place), 12 minute walk to the beach. Light and airy interior, little touches like the tea/coffee/milk sachets which meant you could have a brew straight away if you had not taken your own stuff. Negative: We were in the top Flat (4th floor) so the stairs up were a bit emotional on the first day with all our stuff but when unencumbered they werent so bad. In the mornings the local seagulls had a group meeting on the roof and for a creature with small-ish feet they made a bit of a noise with all their scuttling about. Paradoxically, bearing in mind that we chose this location due to its proximity to the open air theatre, on subsequent nights we could hear the acts. Not deafening, sounded like a house party down the street kinda thing, but it ended between 22:00 - 22:30.

Only slept there not a comfortable place to sit for a long period of time Positive: Close to where we was visiting Negative: It is in need of a few personal touches wouldn’t cost a lot but would make a bit difference to staying there WiFi didn’t connect

Enjoyed our stay we always enjoy visiting Yorkshire. Scarborough is a good central point f Positive: Location ok bit far from front. Negative: Bit far from front. Water pressure dropped couple of times, wondered if it was because we were at top of property. Stairs bit steep with heavy suitcases.

Excellent place to stay in with brilliant service and communication from the landlord. The only issue we did have was the shower was a bit temperamental with temperature and power. Other than that really enjoyed our stay 👌🏼

great service, thank you

Very happy with our stay at Mount View. The apartment was modern, spotless, and well presented. We found the location brilliant - centrally located on Scarborough! I loved that there was a washer/dryer so haven’t got loads of laundry when I return home. The only niggle was that the shower was a bit temperamental, but got there in the end. Will definitely return!

Great location Positive: Great location. Super clean and good facilities. Hairdryer, some toiletries, big fluffy towels. Small amount of coffee, tea and milk which was nice. Well equipped kitchen. Good permit parking. Overall a great stay but with some niggles but I would go back Negative: A spare full loo roll would have been nice. We didn’t get the parking permit despite ringing up and being promised it would be brought round. However we didn’t get a parking ticket so it was ok but I was worried. Hidden insurance cost £25 or £250 bond returned less £10 within 3 weeks was a shock but I should have read the small print before booking. Paid insurance but added to overall cost.

Wir haben uns in der Wohnung wohlgefühlt. Das Treppenhaus ist recht eng, ansonsten passte alles.

Positive: Great location for Open air theatre and Scarborough town centre, well appointed little apartment which was comfy and nice to just chill in if you wanted. Negative: Apartment is on the 4th floor so lots of stairs for when your carrying cases up and down!. 2 cups in the cupboard where filthy and looked like they had not been washed at all!.
