“Beautiful property in a great location.”

The property is spacious, well maintained and fully equipped. The owners were really helpful and responded to our queries promptly. The hot tub was hot on arrival and remained hot for our stay. We really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property to everyone.

Carole May 2023

“Just enjoyed a lovely Coronation weekend to celebrate my 60th with family and friends.”

House beautiful, well appointed with everything you could need. Some of our party experienced difficulties with showers being either too hot or not warming up enough so might want to check thermostats. For future improvement, long term, the hall games cupboard would make an excellent downstairs loo as there are a lot of stairs for old legs!!!! That said we would definitely come again!

- Carole, May 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so happy that you had a lovely weekend for such a important birthday. We have taken on your feedback and the showers have all been checked. On the downstairs toilet this has been looked at and due to the property been Victorian we are unable to fit one in the area mentioned. There is another 5 available in the property but we de appreciate the feedback. Please do come and visit again. Thank you. Property Owner

Julia March 2023

“Gorgeous house in a great location.”

We stayed to celebrate a big birthday with family ranging from 89 year old down to 3 year old and the house was perfect for everyone. The hot tub is an added bonus. We hope to stay here again.

- Julia, March 2023

We thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. It is so lovely to hear that you & your family had a perfect stay for a birthday celebration. We would love for you to come and visit again soon. Thank you! Property Owner
Robert December 2022

“Four families, 8 adults and 7 children all stayed at this property for a long weekend and had a great time together.”

It’s a large , traditional and well kept property just a short walk from the sea. More than enough space with great facilities including a hot tub and huge dining table to fit us all round. Owners easily contactable and friendly. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

- Robert, December 2022

It is so lovely to receive this great feedback especially that the location and facilities worked so well for you all. We very much look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Thank you! Property Owner
Malcolm November 2022

“What a great property and so well appointed, we needed for nothing as the house catered easily for the 7 of us.”

The bedrooms were so spacious with comfortable beds. The house afforded us with plenty of space and we usually congregated in the kitchen and spacious dining room. The 7 of us only meet once a year as we live in different parts of England and Wales and it was our 19th year and everyone said it was the best house we have stayed in. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

- Malcolm, November 2022

We thank you so much for taking time out to share this great feedback. It is so wonderful to hear that you had such a fantastic stay. We have worked really hard to ensure that the property gives all our guests plenty of space, character, comfort and facilities to be enjoyed by all ages. We are so thrilled to hear that on your 19th year of meeting as a group you found Royal Victoria House to be the best! All we ask if that you come and visit us again soon. Property Owner

Julie September 2022

“We had a lovely weekend at the Royal Victoria.”

It was a family celebration and the house was ideal for our needs. The only thing missing was an oven glove which is really minor and we did manage. Although it is street parking we all got sorted near to the property.

- Julie, September 2022

Thank you so much for this wonderful feeback. We are so pleased you had a great celebration and the house met all your needs. Oven gloves have now been replaced, so thank you for brining this to our attention. We look forward to you visiting again! Property Owner
Kathryn August 2022

“Lovely house in a great location - the house was clean and well decorated only downside was lack of a downstairs toilet, lack of wardrobe space in some rooms and a slight musty smell in the living room.”

Otherwise it is great house for a large group .

- Kathryn, August 2022

We thank you for this feedback. The musty smell has been raised with the management team and has been addressed. Please do come and visit us again! Property Owner
Irene July 2022

“The property was well maintained and modern furnished.”

Its clean and well equipped. We were a party of 10 and the house was ideal for is. One of our party left a pair of trainers and Callam the owner went about and beyond to get these returned to us. I can highly recommend this property and would definitely book again.

- Irene, July 2022

We thank you so much for kind feedback and very pleased to get your trainers back to you! Please do come and visit us again. Property Owner
Donna July 2022

“Lovely big house but definitely lacking in some areas ie lack of wardrobe and drawer space in bedrooms.”

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.

- Donna, July 2022

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. The family room has a cabinet for storage but we may look to replace this following your feedback Most of the bathrooms have towel rails however if they aren't present, you can leave towels on the radiators or hang on the doors All rooms are decorated to the same standard in keeping with the 4 tick rating we have from Sykes We would like to advise that on the feedback with regards to bed slats and mirrors we are in process of having the bed addressed and looking to source some further mirrors. In regards the bedrooms needing some updating we have had quality carpets fitted in both and with regards a set of knives this will also be sourced in the coming weeks. We thank you for your feedback and would like to assure you that all has been addressed with urgency. Thank you once again. Thanks again for your feedback. We do appreciate your comments Property Owner

Well located close to the attractions but in a very quiet area.. Would definitely go back to this house with either my extended family or group of friends.

Thomas February 2022

“Had a lovely long weekend with friends here recently, four families but the house is so spacious it didn't feel like it.”

The kids had plenty of space to play and relax in the games room whilst we chatted together over the massive dining table or around the island in the kitchen. We had ample space at meal times and never a queue for the loo as there are loads around the house. The family bathroom however was something else, the shower was fab but the bath was perfect - ultimate relaxation! Not far from the beach and shops and takeaways close by so we didn't have to cook too much although the kitchen was well equipped if we had wanted to. All of us would happily come back again

- Thomas, February 2022

Thank you so much for this great feedback and we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. Please come and visit us again soon. Property Owner
Robert February 2022

“The house was perfect for our family holiday, plenty of room for all of us both upstairs and downstairs.”

The kitchen was well equipped and it was nice to have a table in the dining room that seated everyone including room for two high chairs. Bedrooms were spacious and most had en-suite facilities. The only thing possibly lacking was a downstairs toilet, not an issue for us but any elderly clients might struggle to be up and down the stairs a few times a day. The hot tub was a welcoming spot to relax in after some bracing walks along the beach!

- Robert, February 2022

Thank you so much for this great feedback it is always great to hear back from our guests. We are so pleased you found the property great for space, equipment, and facilities. We so look forward to seeing you again in the future. Thanks once again. Property Owner
Marcus February 2022

Rosie January 2022

“I hired the lovely Royal Victoria House in mid January for my 40th birthday celebrations with family and friends.”

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*

- Rosie, January 2022

We thank you for taking time to give us such wonderful feedback and to celebrate your 4th at RVH. We are so pleased that you and your family expectations and more was met. We were pleased to be on hand and specially to make the youngest member very happy to have a new friend ‘Dobby’. We look forward to welcoming you again! Property Owner

Helen September 2021

“Lovely house, we really enjoyed our stay.”

Nice and close to the South Bay. Just a couple of minor points, the en suit bathrooms could do with a shelf for bathroom items. There is no lock on the 1st family bathroom. The toaster is a bit ancient, a new 4 slicer would be beneficial. Otherwise I'd certainly recommend this house to anyone.

- Helen, September 2021

So pleased you enjoyed our beautiful house. Thank you for booking with us. We have noted your points and have them on order, so thank you for lettings us know and making us aware. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

Paula September 2020

“It could benefit the use of a toilet on the ground floor for those with children and elderly people with walking difficulties Apart from that the house was very welcoming and had lots of added features.”

- Paula, September 2020

Thank you for staying at Royal Victoria House and providing a review. We value customer feedback and take on board your comments, we will be looking to installing a ground floor bathroom in the near future to cater to customers who find it more difficult with mobility, in the meantime there are 6 other toilets within the house. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Sara August 2020

“What a wonderful time we’ve had at the Royal Victoria house.”

The accommodation it’s self is well equipped and very clean and tidy. We found the location was perfect for us and parking wasn’t a problem. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing on an evening after a fun filled day out with the kids. It was lovely to receive a text half way through our holiday from the owners asking us if everything was okay. If your thinking of booking this accommodation for a family holiday or a weekend away with friends I definitely recommend it. We enjoyed our stay so much we’ve booked again for next year.

- Sara, August 2020
Mary July 2020

“The property was lovely but there were little irritations that made us unlikely to book here again:- 1.”

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.

- Mary, July 2020

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
Rachel March 2020
