  • "We booked the house to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday as we wanted somewhere large enough to accommodate our family including five grandchildren."

    The house is in a great location. A perfect place with everything we needed, spacious rooms, plenty of bathrooms and everywhere very clean. We loved the patio area where we sat out both evenings and enjoyed a drink after a busy day at the beach and seeing the sights. The hot tub was also a very popular feature! We would love to return.

    The location is a short walk away from the lift to get to the promenade and beach. The hot tub is a nice place to relax at the end of fun filled days! The welcome pack was good to see on arrival. Would stay here again.

    The quality of everything in the home is fantastic, a well stocked kitchen and lovely quality bedding and towels. It was all immaculately clean with some lovely welcome goodies. Location is fantastic and we had ample parking on the road outside with permits we could use when out and about. Communication in the run up to and throughout our stay was great and I couldn't recommend a stay here more

    This is so great to hear and such wonderful feedback shared. The location is very special and parking has always been great. All we ask is please come to visit us again reall soon. Thanks once again! Property Owner

    It very close to the beach, nice morning walks, parks and pubs, we had 5 cars with us and was concerned it was only road parking but we didn’t have any problems parking on the road, we had a few niggles getting used to the heating of the house due to changes in weather but a quick text to the owners and they promptly sorted us out, lovely house would definitely recommend it

  • "Had a lovely weekend with family."

    Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could need, loved that the table easily sits 14 so the whole family could eat together. Location was great for the beach, garden was ideal and enclosed for the dogs, heating and hot water were great and the hot tub was so relaxing. I was a little worried about parking because we had lots of cars between us but honestly I needn't have worried, we all parked no problem at all. If we had any criticism, some of the metal bed frames were very noisy and the property could definitely benefit from a downstairs toilet (we were traveling with an 87 year old who struggled with the stairs) but honestly we all really enjoyed the stay. If you are thinking of booking, do it, you wont be disappointed.

    We are so pleased you have such a lovely weekend, that you found everything well stocked and that the location was great. Parking is never an issue with plenty available near and around the property. On the downstairs toilet the house is over 100 years old and we had of course wanted to accommodate a downstairs toilet but we are unable to do so due to the pipes and plumbing available. We are so pleased you really enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again reall soon. Thank you Property Owner

  • "Fantastic stay for New Years family celebration."

    Plenty of space and comfort to accommodate our party of 14, ages 2- 65. The whole house was spotlessly clean, rooms were spacious and beds comfy. Some of our favourite features were the large open kitchen, that became the main hub of the house- plenty of space and everything you need for cooking up a feast for a large party (We cooked 3/5 evenings). We also loved the large dining room table enabling us to all sit together for meals and gather for board and card games with the log burner on- just perfect. The hot tub was a great addition for relaxing in once the kids were in bed. The location was perfect with the beach and the town just a short walk away- we loved having a walk along the beach on New Year’s Day as the sun was shining. Absolute gem of a house and location well equipped for a large party- we will be back Kelly & Family

    We thank you so much for this wonderful feedback and to hear that you all had such a fantastic stay is really pleasing.. The kitchen really is a great hub for all and caters well for celebrations. You left the house in such great condition and we really thank you for this.

  • "The house was truly beautiful and the location was perfect."

    The owner had put up a Christmas tree which was a lovely touch. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the hot tub excellent. The kitchen was huge, we spent a lot of time in there! A few things would have improved our stay: A small welcome pack on arrival ie tea, coffee, milk, and more toilet rolls! No downstairs toilet!! The storage in the bedrooms. We had no wardrobe in our large bedroom, only a small set of drawers, so we had to hang our clothes on the back of.the door. Another room only had a wardrobe and no drawers, while the wardrobe in another room was just a tallboy. If our stay was longer than 3 days, the lack of storage would have been an inconvenience. The WiFi went down on the second day and despite the owner acknowledging and apologising, this couldn't be rectified during our stay (a slight inconvenience to a couple of the party) On the whole, there were far more positives than negatives, but just a few extra touches would greatly improve the house

    We are so pleased that you found the house to be beautiful and that the location was perfect. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback it is really helpful. On the matter of the welcome pack, we have taken this on board and are now working on a new type of welcome pack for our guests. We plan to bulk buy in the coming months and have as much prepared as possible. Due to the size of the house and the quality of the changeover we always endeavour to deliver time is constrained so having this prepped will be key. On the downstairs toilet the house is over 100 years old and we had of course wanted to accommodate a downstairs toilet but we are unable to do so due to the pipes and plumbing available. We will now ask the Sykes team to announce this more clearly in the details but thank you. On the wardrobes, we continue to add items of the property ensuring it remains fresh and luxurious. Recently we added further paintings, mirrors, and furnishes as one example. Wardrobes is something that was on the list and post the busy festive period we will revisit this. The wifi was a provider issue and so was out of our hands but we know we worked to ensure you were all kept informed we are sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you once again, all we ask is please come and visit again real soon! Property Owner

    The owners were helpful with an issue we had getting into the property on the first day and also allowed us in early on the day of arrival which was appreciated. One small complaint would be the heating- it is controlled remotely and didn't come on until 9am which made the house cold when you got up in the morning.

    We thank you for sharing this with us and are pleased you found the property location great. The location is beautiful and really offers plenty of opportunity to explore and enjoy this beautiful part of the country. On the heating we appreciate this share and have already taken this into account. We do put in the welcome pack that should you it need adjusting this can always be done but may have been missed on this occasion. We try to ensure that the house is maintained at a comfortable temperature for all our guests and will now include this in both the email and pack. All we ask is that you visit us again real soon.

    Nowhere to hang towels in the bathrooms. No floor length mirrors in most rooms. The 2 rooms on the first floor are beautiful, however on the second floor really need some attention and updating. The tvs did not work. My elderly mum and dad stayed in the room on the back with the toilet and their bed was appalling. Slats on the floor, sleeping in dips. My husband had to try and fix it up a little for them. Kitchen could benefit from sharp knives and utility a screen to hang laundry/towels. The lack of wardrobes/drawers was the biggest issue as we had to live out suitcases for the week. Not what you expect. For the money, we were a little disappointed.

    Thank you for your feedback. Your comments are very out of character for the property. We are on hand to help with any issues during your stay and had we been called, we would have been straight around to help you. All of the bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe and draw space.

    As I am local to the area, it was a perfect location for family travelling from all over the UK to stay for the weekend, as well as myself and my family. What a perfect stay we had! The house was everything we expected and a whole lot more. The facilities are excellent and the owner's could not have been more helpful. As soon as they found out it was for a special occasion, I was given early access to the property so I could get set up prior to family arriving. The house is so spacious and all the rooms so beautifully kept and so many rooms!! The guests ranged from aged 6 through to 76! Each guest LOVED the house, especially the younger ones. The 'games room' proved to be a big hit, as did the hot tub! The youngest member got extremely attached to 'Dobby' - a resident giant stuffed dog he found in one of the bedrooms. Too upset to part with him, we cheekily asked the owners if we could possibly buy Dobby as he really was distraught at leaving him behind. To his delight, the owners let him have Dobby. And he has barely left his side since!! Such a lovely thing to do and it made his break away 'the best EVER'!! So thank you again for a great stay & we hope to visit again soon - with Dobby in tow no doubt!! We would all highly recommend the property for anyone looking to stay in a perfect location in Scarborough! 5*

    The recycling bins were both full when We arrived. We actually brought a bin bag full of recycling home as we had left 2 bags in the place suggested. 2. The check in and check out times had been altered for the Covid 19 cleaning but the kitchen floor was still wet at 17:20 when we arrived on 24th July. 3. A double bedroom on the 2nd floor had a dodgy door lock which resulted in the 5 year old being locked in the room.

    Thank you for your feedback. The owner will now leave information on recycling collection dates for future guests based on your information. Check in times have altered to allow for additional COVID cleaning, which is why the kitchen floor was slightly wet on your arrival, apologies for this it was the last job the cleaner did before leaving. With reference to the lock on the door, if the owner had been made aware of this issue during your stay they had a whole team on standby who could have resolved this issue for you in a matter of hours, it is regretful that they were not given the opportunity to do this to make your stay more enjoyable. We hope it didn’t detract from your time at Royal Victoria House and you had an enjoyable time there. Property Owner

The property

In the historic seaside resort town of Scarborough, on a street looking out to sea, you can find Royal Victoria House in all its grandeur and glory; an incredible mid-terrace house set over four floors.

Suited for a large family, a group of friends, or perhaps a mix of both, it sleeps fifteen guests within seven bedrooms, and is within minutes of the sea on foot.

Enter the property and come into the lofty hallway where your eyes will dart up to the feature lamp shade, the high ceilings and general aura of excellence.

On the ground floor you can find the sitting room to the front, adorned with muted colours of grey, black and cream, where a Smart TV sits in front of a huge corner sofa and a gas fire sits in the ornate fireplace, all before the tall bay windows; this is where you can all pile in after a fun-filled day.

Also benefiting from the welcoming warmth is the dining room, boasting a woodburning stove, here you will be greeted by a huge table to seat the whole party for a celebratory meal, perhaps, atop stripped back original wooden floors and looking out onto the decking and pretty enclosed garden through the bi-folding doors.

A hot tub lies at the end of the garden, while there is a lawned area for the children to run around, as well as seating on the decking to take in the sun on a warm day.

Enjoy your morning coffees and breakfast sat at the breakfast bar reserved for those early risers, or look on as one or two of your loved ones cooks up a hearty full English for the whole gang on the gas range cooker.

Moving upstairs to the first and second floors is where you can find the beautifully furnished bedrooms, with seven in total including three king-size rooms, two family rooms, a double and a single, with over half benefiting from en-suite shower rooms, you can all have a taste of luxury.

For those without an en-suite you can make use of the wonderful shared bathroom on the first floor, complete with freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower within a sparkling white setting.

Sat at the top of the house on the third floor is the children's hideout or games room, where plush seating, bean bags and a TV with consoles and games can entertain the little ones for hours!

The town of Scarborough has so much to offer, and you are just minutes away from the seafront from your front door, take evening strolls along the promenade, dine out at one of the fine restaurants available, or simply get some fish and chips and sit on the beach.

Head to Scarborough Castle to learn about the local history, or treat yourself to a trip to Scarborough Spa for an exciting show with events and shows all year round.

Royal Victoria House is a magnificent property, waiting to be a home-from-home for you and your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
