Property Details

Neighborhood
If you’re a cricket fan, this is the ideal location, North Marine House overlooks Scarborough cricket club, Yorkshire's first-class cricket ground. Located just a short walk from all of the popular attractions. Packed with seaside charm, you’ll find plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes to discover as well as arcades and ice cream parlours.

There are a number of beaches for you to choose from. The popular South Bay is a suntrap and is close to the hustle and bustle of the town centre. North Bay has been accredited with Blue Flag status meaning it’s one of the best beaches in Europe! Cayton Bay is the quietest of the three and boasts a sweeping bay with a rural feel. Lastly Cornelian Bay is the most remote and the hardest to get to but it’s a hidden gem and often empty.

Ideal for all weathers, there are lots of indoor attractions in Scarborough for the whole family. Head to the Sea Life Sanctuary to see seals, penguins, sharks, turtles and more or Scarborough Castle to explore its 3000 year history. If it’s outdoor fun you’re looking for, the Open Air Theatre is a short 20 minute walk from North Marine House, where you can see amazing bands, singers and comedians. There is also the Sky Trail Adventure, Peasholm Park and a great water park, suitable for all ages a few minutes’ drive away.

Getting Around
North Marine House is within walking distance of all that Scarborough has to offer and within 1 hours’ drive time of Staithes, Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and Filey.

Scarborough Train Station is a short 10 minute walk away and has routes to Filey, Bridlington, Liverpool and Sheffield.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Scarborough. Hop on the 12 route and you can visit the neighbouring seaside spots of Filey and Bridlington. The X93 travels through to Middlesbrough with stops in Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby.

Great place to stay! Very close to the beach and town, with great local shops. Great size for what we needed - great kitchen with a good sized fridge as we stayed for a week and did our own cooking. Shower and toilet are in separate rooms but we managed.

Property is in a good location on the north side , easy access to the areas we like to go to. Booked this , and a week later , I received a £25 damage cover fee, it did say this is required if booked prior to the 18th as I booked on the 21st I asked this question, they responded back with , No I don’t need to pay as I’ve booked after the date , that’s a lie because they won’t give you the key code until it’s paid . On arrival with still no key code , I rang them to ask for entry , I had to pay the damage fee, I said you said by email this isn’t required? Well it needs paying she said , I was put on hold for 10mins with no answer until paid Then they sent me a message saying sorry it was a mistake and it did need paying . £50 cleaning fee, The apartment is nicely laid out, but it’s covered in dust and cobwebs and dirt , not sure why it’s £50 when it’s not been cleaned , staff are not very helpful and a little rude Big damp stain on the wall as soon as you enter , and also an iron burn mark on the carpet, dust on all the shelves and lights , cobwebs on the ceiling an ld under the bed frame Would be nice with some old put back into the place

Loved the location and the size of the space. Perfect for 2! And a real comfortable space to spend a few days away, nice little home from home. There were some carpet stains, marks on the walls and some of the furniture was a bit worn. Needs a little TLC but nothing major just a little spruce will do.

After researching the property and deciding to stay we were disappointed to have to pay an additional accident insurance (approx £20 for our 3 nt stay). Having used air b&b on numerous occasions, this is the only property we have had to do this for. The property was lovely, comfortable and enjoyable.

the design was great, really nice looking, great view of the cricket ground, really comfortable beds, outdoor seating area for two other than looking nice there were cig and iron burns in the carpet, the mirror fell over as it was just lent against a pole it was meant to be attatched to, there were oil makes all up the wall at the back of the cooker as there was no back splash, the oven was really hard to work as well so could only really cook using the hob,

Wayne

I liked the location ,and the overall open space planning of the apartment .kitchen and bathroom were great and overall it was very comfy place to stay There was a damp patch immediately as you walked through the apartment door ,also the carpet was a tad grubby near the kitchen area and also had a big iron mark burnt in .The front balcony looked like it had not been cleaned for ages ,with cigarette ends ,tea bags and lots of weeds growing through the decking .Also on lifting the side door blind ,that also had rubbish on it and lots of weeds growing ,although you wouldn’t go out of this door it still was very of putting .Storage for clothes was a small rail with 6 hangers and there were no drawer space . We only went for three nights but we couldn’t fit all our clothes in the storage available .

Nice size apartment on ground floor The shower could do with a bigger screen . It could do with a good clean especially glass door and tiles . Needs more hanging rail for clothes

Cassie

The location is excellent near the North Bay and the Open air theatre. This place could be perfect if it had been kept up to scratch. The apartment on first look is lovely, very modern and new. We stayed here last October and it was perfect and very clean. This time, the overall cleanliness was definitely not up to scratch. The bathroom, the kitchen area, wasn't cleaned properly. It was fairly dusty. The mirror had been broken off the stand and been left underneath the sofa so there was no full length mirror to use. The small terrace would be ideal over looking the cricket ground if it was clean. The carpet had really bad blk stains all over it. It is such a shame people have not looked after this property as it was lovely last time but also the cleaners could definitely do better

Over looked cricket pitch nothing else It was filthy and smelt.It hadn’t been cleaned the carpet had oil and food on crumbs and dust every where.Bathroom smelt there was mould on the walls and in the bathroom.The shower smelt of urine .We had to go to the shop and buy cleaning materials and clean the place .We was very upset with this experience

Tastefully decorated, facilities were good and the little outdoor decked terrace overlooking the cricket ground was an unexpected bonus. The whole apartment needs a lick of paint, it was very dusty and it wasn't cleaned to my standard, there is mould in the wetroom and I know cleaners have a short window in which to clean but there was debris around the edges of the carpet which really should not have been overlooked and the windows and upvc was filthy.There was considerable damage to walls and paintwork which makes it look tatty. That being said, the bed linen was clean and the overall feel of the apartment was nice and we had a lovely time.

A lovely home from home. Close to all the local amenities. Perfectly clean and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back soon! Was sad to leave! 2 minute walk from the beach and lovely bars and restaurants. The beds were soooo comfy Nothing everything was brill

Christine

20/08/2024

Lay out of the property and asthetics that attention to detail in what was meant to have been included, i.e.,no toileterries ,no hangers ,tea towel supplied was ingrained with old stains ,and matterres had old in grain stain with no mattress protector, there also seems as there needs some maintaining as the electric radiator came of the wall whilst trying to reach to open the blinds and bathroom towel rail was loose .and no plug guard in the shower

Everything was there to use if required Iron Mark on carpet , blind had a piece missing, curtains didn't meet when shut, front door key was not opening with ease. I personally thought that it was not as newly refurbished as stated but was OK.

Good location, parking just round the corner Stopped in Bowlers retreat and felt disappointed. Maintenence and cleanliness was not great. Broken door on to patio, reported on first day but not mended. Cigarette butt's and rubbish on patio. Big damp patch in property, hole in wall next to bed. Loose towel rail and shower head holder. Marks and scuffs all over the walls. No where to put clothes apart from tiny rail with 5 coat hangers so lived out of suitcase. Such a shame as could be a great place but needs a different cleaner and some maintenance.

Booth

05/08/2024

I liked how it was in the middle of the south and the north bays which made it easy just to walk to either of them. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The rooms were very spacious and there was plenty of room in the fridge if you fancied to cook for yourself. The sofa wasn’t the most comfiest but that could just be personal opinion. Other than that I have no complaints.

Julie

This property is fabulous and we would love to return. The studio apartment was spacious, stylish and comfortable. We loved the fact we could watch the cricket from the balcony. It was an easy walk to the beaches and to town too. Nothing!

Jayne

06/06/2024

The property was close to all the amenities at the north bay side of Scarborough and the cricket ground is just behind. The property was well furnished and had good self catering facilities. The bathroom was a wet room, the whole floor got wet when using the shower so tge sink and toilet area were soaked. The bed could have been a bit bigger, the screen and metal shelves on the wall were unnecessary, just in the way. The front of the property needs a tidy and sweep, first impressions count.

The property was not of a high standard we had a person called Andrew clean the property we had left the first day as the blinds in the living room behind them there was mould all over the window sills I have a current chest infection and this property made my breathing 10xs worse I couldn’t get any photos because I had to travel 206 miles back to Cambridge

Alex

27/05/2024

The location was perfect for us. Firstly, we had to pay a damage fee of £25 before we got the key pad details. This charge should have been included in the booking price, or stated before we booked. Apartments should have discs or permits for parking outside. On entrance, the lobby had not been hoovered or cleaned, muddy marks all over the floor. When entering our apartment, it was freezing cold and first impressions were not great. Could have been a lot cleaner, the floor hadn’t been hoovered, as there was hair and food on the floor. The apartment looked like it hadn’t been dusted in a long time, mirrors were not cleaned, stains on sofa, walls and carpets. Bathroom definitely needed a deep clean. Mould around shower and what looked like toothpaste in the sink. On first glance we were happy with the facilities, however when we went to use the cups, glasses and cutlery we realised that they were not clean. Not to mention that we only had one fork. The bed was possibly the worst bed I have ever slept in. Did not get a good nights rest during our 3 nights at all. The noise in the apartment did not help that, you can hear everything around and above you. When leaving the apartment for an evening meal, we noticed that the door of the lobby had been left wide open, this is concerning! I am not normally one to leave a bad review, however I have recognised that other reviews for this apartment are very similar, and also share the same downfalls. The response from the company has often been “we have addressed these issues”. However you are not addressing these issues, when couples are constantly complaining about the same things! We would have chosen somewhere else to stay if we took into consideration the previous reviews! Nicer places to stay for your money!

Graham

27/05/2024

The location was ideal and the apartment was nice and homely, it had everything you needed just like at home. There was an awful feisty smell in the shower room that was overpowering, we were only given one toilet roll for a week, the noise in the bedroom from the rain spilling out of the gutter and onto the window ledge was deafening.

10 minute walk to the front I booked on booking.com, never known anything like it! On the day I was waiting to get into the property at 4.30pm, rang the host to be told I needed to pay a £250 damage deposit before I could be given the keys! (Never had that on booking.com before) I wasn't happy about this because we are reliable, clean and sensible and let's be honest, it's a small room in Scarbourough! Hardly the Ritz lol. We paid £177 for 2 nights, about average I would say in the area (actually, on the higher side on that street to be fair) I paid the damage deposit on my credit card bit was nattering then because on entering there was damage to the room which I was anxious may be blamed on us. I took photos which I will attach to review if I can, in a nutshell - damp in the entrance, hole in the wall, wear and tear damage to the walls and shower etc. It's a cream carpet so obviously it was marked, it was also lifted near the shower room. Sent the pics straight through and was responded to stating they would review the damage after the stay and decide whether to keep the deposit.......how antagonising and frustrating!!! Ruined my weekend to be honest! Fast forward to the deposit being refunded...checked my account to see only £240 had been sent back, contacted them and explained and asked for the missing £10 to be refunded ASAP. I will attach the reply if I can which was that it is an admistration charge! ....what in the name of Scarborough is going on here?! As someone who is well travelled, I have been all over the world in some of the best hotels, I have NEVER been charged a £250 deposit (unless it has been a group) and a £10 admin charge. Good old Charles (I think that's his name- the owner) send me some condescending message stating that it's in the small print that they keep a £10 admin fee. Moral of the story - book in somewhere nicer for the same price without all the nonsense of the £250 deposit and 'small print' admin fee.

Shower enclosure was absolutely filthy, only 1 fork in the cutlery drawer, Kettle was full of limescale, extraction fan filthy and not working, lounge area lights and dining area light not working, window cracked from top to bottom and patched up with Duct Tape, damaged roof tiles causing banging noise in the wind all night,

Have just returned following a lovely 3 night stay at Skipper’s Rest. Easy to find and on street parking available opposite (parking permit was included) Lovely apartment finished to a high standard overlooking the cricket ground from bedroom. Nice small entrance area for shoes and hanging coats after return to the apartment after long days exploring the area. Large living/ kitchen area with good facilities and large flatscreen TV. Separate shower room and toilet. Plenty of plug sockets if required. Electric radiators in living area and bedroom, which are easy to use. All necessary requirements met to self cater, but alternative places to eat out relatively close by. Great location in North Bay Area within easy walk of North Bay beach (5mins) and town centre (15 mins) with South Bay and castle access. Great base for long walks in either direction when leaving the apartment. Lucky enough to see a large pod of dolphins whilst walking around the castle headlands on one day. Enjoyed.

The apartment was very nice. Some cooking equipment wasn't clean. The shower had a button you needed to turn on in the main room but it wasn't labelled so took a while to find. Upstairs were noisy and rang my apartment phone numerous times at night on the Monday. They also left the front door open. As a solo traveller I was worried about security and they made me feel unsafe. Barricaded my door with a chair.

Perfect stay at Skippers Rest. We had a gorgeous 2 night stay & made lost of lovely memories. The apartment was exactly as described, home from home and is a great location to both the beach and Scarborough town itself. The apartment felt safe & check in was really easy. There is also on road parking just outside, the hosts provide a permit for you to use during your stay which is really helpful. We gave 4 stars out of 5 for the following… 1. The shower room had a noticeable smell, like a fusty sort of smell, although it was clean and no signs of damp etc. 2. Very noisy neighbours upstairs, very unaware of just how loud they are, we heard everything - literally everything. This sometimes unsettled our dog so this was quite frustrating at times. Not sure if they are residents or guests? We totally understand this is not any fault of the host, but our feedback could improve this for those in the future. Overall we had a lovely stay & would not hesitate to stay here again.

PRO'S On arrival I retrieved the keys from the key safe outside the front door and entered. Bowler’s retreat is on the ground floor (despite all the negative feedback, reporting there are a lot of stairs, there are not. First impressions do matter and this apartment gives a very good one. It is roomy, very clean and tidy, the overall décor is done to a high standard. The main room consists of the living area, bed space and kitchen area. Main Room: There is one working electric wall heater which adequately keeps the room at a good temperature, we set it to 22 degrees and never had to adjust it at all. the second heater under the window appears to be not working at all. All the furniture is also in good clean condition and the double bed and the couch were comfy enough for us. There is a large flat screen smart TV connected to the broadband. The broadband is not great, it fluctuated between 3mbps and 12mbps, OK, for your phone or laptop email etc, but not always good enough to stream TV & movies, without long buffering breaks. This room also has a balcony with a great private view over the Scarborough Cricket ground if you were planning to stay during the cricket season. One more excellent addition is that there are plenty of plug sockets to handle all your devices you need. Kitchen Area: Again, this is laid out to a high standard and is well equipped with a full-size Cooker & Hob, Microwave, Toaster and Kettle. The is also a Washing Machine & Dishwasher, if you do use these appliances, you will need your own cleaning tablets or liquid. Adequate utensils, pots and pans. Shower Room: This is a very nice wet room type layout fully tiled with an Electric Shower, Toilet, Wash Basin and Radiator. As with the main room we left this on constant and were never chilly. Totally adequate for regular daily washing & showering. Entrance Hall: This is a nice surprise. CON’s: I paid the full price for the apartment on booking, Then 10 days before our arrival I received and email stating I need to click the company link and pay £250 for a refundable Damage Waiver. There is also a £10 admin charge, which is not refundable, when you do this. This was not stated or included in the advertised price on Booking.com. It says following their inspection after checkout if there are no issues the deposit will be refunded. One week after checkout I had to contact H&S to ask why I had not received my deposit back, I got an email the very next day with the refund info. H&S: If you are going to add addition charges like this, either add them to your rental charge, or at least state them separately at the point of booking, so we know how much we are paying for the apartment. While I know Scarborough very well, I was disappointed that H&S do not offer Scratch Card parking permits for road outside this property. Without a card you can only park for 2 hours with a time disc, which I had, but you will need to use the local carpark if you do not have one. Parking disks are available free from some shops & garages. The parking sign on the road states: Area G2, Mon – Sat 9am – 5pm & Sun 12 noon – 5pm 2 Hours. No Return Within 1 Hour. H&S: May I suggest, you have some free parking discs available in the lobby for all drivers, and also offer scratch cards which can be charged for at booking and left in each apartment for the duration of each visit. We have stayed in two other apartments on this road, and they both do this for their guests. There is a large shrub outside the Shower room, which because of the heavy wind during our stay kept banging very loudly on the window, all night. H&S: May I suggest, this be pruned or removed The broadband is quite slow and not really sufficient to stream TV H&S: May I suggest an upgrade. Overall Summary: 7 out of 10 Very happy with the quality and cleanliness.

Nice apartment, modern and only a short walk to all the places I needed to go to. Cleanliness wasn’t that good, bits on the carpet, can tell it hasn’t been hoovered. Dust in some places and hair on the sofa, shower and carpet. Only the cleanliness that was a let down, shame as the apartment was really nice. I reported this to host and stay who said they will get the cleaner to come out, day later still no cleaner so contacted them again and the person I spoke to said they will get someone to come out, by this time it was dark and getting late. I had to go out and buy some cleaning stuff and also paid 30 for a cheap portable hoover as we were staying in the apartment for 5 nights. Really let down by host and stay as we are returning customers and we do recommend host and stay to family and friends.

Loved the theme and layout, comfy and well presented. The wood structure that divides the bed from the rest of the living space. Would be better if there was netting there instead of that wood so can be open and closed. Would be able to watch tv while in bed. Also bed could be bigger.

Nice looking place You are expected to pay a none refundable admit fee for your deposit, claiming back view courts

Andrea

It was a lovely and spacious apartment. It took about half an hour and two phone calls to get the code for the key lock so we had to sit in the car and wait outside in the cold and dark evening, which was very unpleasant. The heating was turned off when we arrived and it took hours to warm up, especially in the front room, so the first evening was very cold. The apartment was not soundproof at all, so the noise from the couple upstairs was very intrusive.

Gary

Nice stylish apartment close to town centre very clean on arrival. Lots of stairs up a narrow staircase. High level windows in attic room so could only see out when standing. No parking pass / permit as other venues have so had to pay extra or move the car daily.

very nice property good location , but living room table and placemats covered in dust, Stains on carpet and wall by light switch kitchen utensils grubby and needed cleaning, but the thing that spoilt the two nights we stayed there was the horrible foul smell that came from the shower room after the radiators were turned on , it was disgusting , we checked previous reviews and the host had had bad reviews about the smell and said it would be sorted out, we tried to stay out as long as we could to try and escape the smell , the apartment is lovely but it was badly spoilt by the smell and bad cleaning

Martin

The location The stench of the shower room. Rang up 3 times to gain access and late getting into the property due to this ,to late check in and to early check out the settee was like sitting on breeze blocks

We have stayed in Scarborough many many times before. We Normally stay in hotels which is ok but not ideal with our dogs. We take the dogs as they love the beach and endless walks that’s available. We saw this on here and thought we’d give it a try and it didn’t disappoint. The apartment was well styled had everything that you’d need or want. From reading some of the reviews before going we had mixed thoughts of the apartment. Yes it has the odd mark on the carpet (cream coloured) or odd mark on the paintwork. I just see this to be expected. With the turn around of guests you can’t physically clean carpets and touch up paintwork after every guest leaves. Far far better than any of the hotels we’d stayed in Scarborough. It was that good of experience we tried to book again before we left. Ample parking on the street. Convenience shops very close by. A pub within a few minute walk, 5-10min walk to beach and when that is all done come back and relax and Cook some food excellent

The location was good and the apartment was very well furnished. A very quiet apartment on our first night. Loads of stairs to climb that were not mentioned. The kitchen was well furnished but had very few utensils for cooking and no instructions were included. Seems mainly suited for takeaways. The dog running around constantly in the attic apartment above meant we had disturbed evenings.

Bedroom. Location. Very uncomfortable settee. Shower room stunk of drains, sealant filthy, shower was Luke warm( needs new). Extraction fans dirty. Bits of old food in sink and fridge. Communal area dirty. Communal bin directly outside property on main road, the only property to do this( not a good impression)paying for parking(rip off)

Fantastic apartment in an incredible location. The view of the cricket ground from the bedroom was great and you're only a couple of minutes walk away from the North Bay Beach. The entire apartment was well-furnished and comfortable. The only downsides were that one of our towels had a stain (which the host resolved immediately) and the shower room had a bit of a strange smell, but if you take those out of the equation then this is a 5-star apartment well worth the price. The only piece of advice I'd give is to get there mid-afternoon to park across from the apartment if you're not going on a weekend, as parking spaces are limited.

Julian

03/10/2023

Very well-presented; tasteful decor; good facilities; Superb view of the cricket ground and across the town to Oliver's Mount (downside for the less able — up several flights of steep stairs). Whizzy-looking app with apartment info didn't in fact contain much useful info (in particular no guide to using the unfamiliar cordless blinds; only worked this out by accident) — and would be inaccessible for the non computer savvy. Being asked, late in the day, for a £250 deposit was a bit of a shock (but perhaps my fault for not reading the property details sufficiently closely). Being charged £10 to pay the deposit was also an unwelcome surprise

John

Great short break in Scarborough. Apartment was as described, but felt a little tired - toilet roll holder had been ripped out the wall twice and not repaired/replaced prior to arrival, kitchen sink tap was loose. Didn't affect our stay and would recommend, but could do with being fixed. One thing that needs addressing is the bad drain smell from the shower as it's noticeable as soon as you walk in.

Robert

25/09/2023

The apartment is nicely decorated One set of towels each for four days is not good enough. Nor is two teabags. The bed is too soft and the couch is too hard - need to step up your game to match other providers. The additional insurance charge or deposit detract from the overall experience.

I’d stayed in a lovely Host and Stay apartment before, so Skipper’s Rest was a real disappointment. The place has been renovated to a good standard but has not been looked after at all and feels scruffy. As highlighted by a previous review, there’s a few things that need sorting- broken kitchen bin, broken towel rail, and also a terrible smell from the shower. It was really frustrating that these things had been mentioned in a previous review, received a response of “we’ll sort it” from the host, and yet nothing had been done. Cleaning was also pretty poor- place needs a good dust, and all but one of the cups provided was dirty, most looked like they hadn’t been washed. I flagged all the above issues early in the stay, responses were quick but nothing was really done to resolve any of the issues. The flat is in a good location but if you’re thinking of staying, seek assurances that they’ve at least dealt with the smell from the shower, as it really was bad!

Jessica

Booking process was straightforward, transparent and easy. Information relating to check in, property facitlities, check out and 'local things to do' was useful and easy to read. Property itself was clean and tidy, with an amazing view over the cricket ground and close to all amenities but in a quiet area. If you want to go out to breakfast at the North Bay beach, a quick 7 minutes walk down the cliff path via the pedestrian cut through aloingside no. 105, go to the Watermak or (££) the Oasis (£) cafes. Perfect stay! The hosts need to consider adding a backsplash to the back of the hob area as previous guests have obvioulsy been cooking and there are grease splash stains on the wall.

Ideal for a short stay in Scarborough. Really good location. Very modern apartment. Clean and tidy. Was told we would have access to free parking during our stay and that the details would be available upon check in but these were not available, we therefore had to pay to park a short walk away from the apartment. Host was responsive and replied to my messages in a timely manner but was unable to resolve the issue.

The kitchen was well arranged, with lots of useful appliances and the lounge area was comfortable. The bed wasn’t as big as advertised, and certainly not comfortable. Additionally - the internet was poor / intermittent. Not ideal for a bit of work I needed to do. When we first arrived the cables had been ripped out of the router. Parking was expensive too.

Clean, lovely and comfortable. Good location for north bay, Peason park, mini railway and Sea life. 10 minutes to main shops. 15 minute walk to sea life. Smart modern apartment. Plenty of car parks near by. Would stay again if Wifi connection improved, otherwise would score a 9 We chose secure parking which was pre booked lets just say not straight forward. We were on third floor so not good for older people. Some sound transfer from flat above but not enough to be a issue. Busy road. Very quiet where we slept. Wifi did not work whilst we were there.

Batteries for the remote control died and took over 24 hours for replacement batteries to come, couldn’t login to Netflix or other services due to not having an Amazon account.

The location was perfect as we were attending the open air theatre. We also enjoyed walking along the sea front and sampled lovely places to eat. The accommodation was clean, fresh and bright and had everything we wanted and more. Can’t think of anything apart from lack of hanging space which wasn’t a problem for us.

Linda

06/07/2023

Nice apartment, wouldn't really call it luxurious but it was comfortable and they'd even left us some coffee pods. It's situated in a good location for access to the town centre and promenade if you don't mind walking. Good view of the cricket ground! Climbing up the 50 steps to the apartment was a killer, we had to call the company as the mains switch for the shower would not turn off and was really hot, they said they would come when we were out, I don't think they came as we still couldn't turn it off later that day and it was the same all week, sometimes the switch light went out and the shower would not work. There is no wardrobe to hang clothes and the drawers are extremely small, some of the walls are bare brick and you get brick dust coming off them onto the pillows. Street parking is very limited and you need to get a disc from local shops/pubs, I had to keep paying for an NCP car park around the corner - some of the accommodation providers get parking permits for their guests but not this one!

Location, great for attending events at the Open air theatre Hassle with check-in due to additional insurance fee and poor administration processes with Host & Stay. Even though we advised 10 days prior we had completed as asked, I still had to spend an hour on the day of check-in to prove payment to be given access.

Excellent location, lovely 10 minute walk to both beaches. The apartment was nice and tidy, and the bed was very comfortable. A good base camp for exploring. We couldn't figure out how to use the oven, and the wifi was unreliable. However, this did not affect our holiday in any way, and we were sure we could have just messaged the host to sort it.

nice cozy place, perfect location. towels and bedding were lovely and soft. only one fork between two of us, dust everywhere, bathroom window didn’t have a blind and it was right next to the shower - neighbours could see us so we felt super exposed and uncomfortable. Outside balcony was cute, but chairs covered in dirt - not cleaned for a while, and cigarette butts everywhere.

The property was spacious and it was situated in a good location, close to the beach, close to Peasholm Park and close to the main area for the attractions. When we first arrived at the property it hadn’t been cleaned. I called the main office and they did sort it out very quickly however it did mean that we were not able to get into the property properly until 5:30, an hour and a half after original check in which is already late at 4pm, so this did ruin the start of the holiday. I will say though that the staff did sort the issue out for us and refunded us £30. It was unfortunate that we still had to check out early at 10 despite not being able to get in till 5:30. There was also a lot of noise from the other apartments, there was a dog barking very early in the morning and doors slamming, I understand this is not the owners fault however the walls are very thin so this is something to consider when booking here as you will not be able to have a lie in, we were woken at 7 everyday! Generally the stay was lovely, the apartment was in a nice location and it was nice having our own space in a modern place.

First impressions of apartment could’ve been better. Lock box was a bit tricky to open. Heating was off so it was really cold and unwelcoming upon arriving at 6pm and the shower stank of drains. The kitchen bin lid and toilet roll holder were broken. Be mindful of costs not made clear - insurance for damages extra £10 plus £250 refundable deposit or extra £25 which covers £500 of damage without refundable deposit. Parking arrangements not made clear in listing. They DO provide ONE parking permit so you don’t need to park a 9 min walk away! We had 2 cars and upon arrival were told we’d need to pay £10 for an extra permit and they couldn’t drop it off until the next day. I contacted them at 7am the day of check in and was told that permits weren’t provided! If we had been given the correct information then another permit could’ve been waiting for us avoiding any hassles with parking! Flat is well decorated and cosy once warmed up. It is within easy walking distance of amenities.

Two massive t.v's, lovely big shower. The kitchen was very good; not that I did any cooking, but looked lovely, all the mod cons built in. All round excellent. We had a couple above us for 3 nights who had the TV on really loud very early. Not the hosts fault though so not a complaint on them The entry, stairs are nice; good lighting, nice sturdy doors, but would suggest that they change the carpet colour to something that doesn't show all the dirt, which it does. Not everyone wipes there feet

Location was great (a short walk from town or peasom Park the other way). Room was clean and recently refurbished with nice modern kitchen. Shower was well done. Parking wasn't ideal. Other guesthouses on road have parking permits for guests but had to park in pay and display at end of street (5 min walk) which wasn't ideal having to go back and top up as it only offered 6 hours stay at time to pay. Although all the pictures look nice you only get one apartment so it's luck of the draw to which you get. We had ground floor room which was good for access but had noise of other guests and passing pedestrians.

Adrian

I was only a 5-minute walk to the beach and had a shop and a coffee in the street The shower room had a horrible smell and no blind on the window I felt itchy and couldn't sleep well because of this. I put this down to the unpleasant smell.

The location was reasonably close to buses and attractions at North Shore. The outside of the property was untidy. Lot's of weeds and rubbish which gave me serious misgivings as did the muddy carpet in the entrance hall. It was a pleasant surprise therefore to find the apartment, which was ground floor and at the back of the property, was clean and had everything one could need. The shower was excellent. It overlooks the cricket ground which is a bonus if there is a match on and you like cricket. There was also a free parking disc which was very useful.

Great location overlooking the cricket ground and near to North beach, nice little outdoor terrace, comfy sofa and bed Windows closed and blinds up on hot day meaning room like a furnace on arrival. Lots of small things requiring more attention to detail: one of bedside lights not working; too little cutlery; no washing up brush/sponge; nothing to clear wet room floor, little storage room etc

Apartment was lovely, had everything you needed. They provided a parking ticket for our stay which allowed just to park on the street.very Close to town and the beach. The bed was very comfortable. There was nothing we didn't like.

Quiet location, but central to main facilities. Adequate space for our needs. Well equipped. Loved the little balcony overlooking the cricket ground. We'd love to stay again. We couldn't work the shower as we were not made aware of master switch in lounge area. The Host & Stay staff (David I think) was very helpful during our two or three phone calls and wasn't aware either of the master switch. Easily remedied by labelling up or including in property pack.

The apartment was well equipped, modern and clean we were notified to park in a local council car park as the street parking was limited,but not told there was a parking permit in the property. We finally found a 24hr NCP car park and walked for 25 mins to the property with a heavy suitcase and 4 bags, so not a good start. We were also kept awake half the night with a loud buzzing noise and finally it was coming from the fridge which we had no way of stopping. Unfortunately these things ruined it for us and we left a day early.

Location was good. Would have preferred to see my car from the apartment. Also if we parked on the front then we had to move the car after 2hrs. I would have paid more if there was an all day parking permit.

We love visiting Scarborough, we love both North and South Bay so the location of the property was excellent. 10 min either way. The property is clean and modern with all the home comforts necessary for a few nights or even longer. The coffee machine and milk in the fridge was a great touch. Thank you! There are couple of convenience stores within a couple of minutes walk too. Didn't have any problems with the apartment. If I had to pick something I noticed on the last day the mattress was upside down so had not had the pillow top but hadn't really found the bed to too uncomfortable. Parking is approx a 6 min walk away and reasonable. I'd recommend unpacking outside the apartment then taking your car up to the Castle Rd or one of the other recommend carparks.

The view of the cricket ground was amazing and the location was excellent for Scarborough Open Air Theatre. The apartment was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. The tiles in the shower room and toilet were lovely. The pre-visit correspondence was impeccable and the best we have encountered. The hosts have thought of almost everything that you could need during a visit, including an iron and hairdryer in the bedroom. We really enjoyed our stay at Umpires Watch and would definately recommend it. The paint work in a couple of areas needed addressing - looking tired/scuffed. The towel rail in the toilet had been pulled off the wall and bodged back into place. We only had one glass that wasn't a wine glass. The exposed brick work in the kitchen looks lovely but didn't feel hygienic behind the oven and sink. The alternate tap fixing cap was missing from the sink in the kitchen. A shower gel dispenser in the shower room would have been appreciated. Also, an extra tea-towel and an oven glove would be nice.

Excellent location within walking distance of train station, local amenities and attractions. Plenty of affordable cafes, bars and restaurants nearby, and within easy reach of beach, seafront and parks. The seagulls gave us an early morning alarm call each day, but that’s part of being at the seaside I suppose.

Joanne

12/07/2022

Definitely exceeded expectations, very nice studio apartment. Modern decor and double ?lazing can sometimes be a rarity in Scarborough. Very clean and perfect view for the cricket. Not sure if we missed them, but couldn't find any dishwasher tablets and was no washing up liquid. Also the online manuals didnt work when I clicked on the links. The blinds which were v modern, looked great but we couldnt get them close effectively, so quite a lot of light coming in during the night.

Location was great - i had stopped in the Howdale before directly opposite - a few years earlier Keys were mixed up in the box on arrival. At first we made our way into Skippers Rest before after a couple of phone calls we got into our own Apartment No.2 Bowlers Rest We had seen the parking permit scratch card in Skippers Rest but left it there as i was expecting somebody else would have booked that. There was no scratch card in Apartment 2 - we paid every day on the Castle Road Car Park. if you want to check the records please feel free

Christine

Location was good just could have done without all the stairs lol but we got used to that. The apartment had almost everything needed very well thought out. The only thing could have had was a few door hooks on back of the door & a better mattresses as was too soft & had a bit of backache. The mattress was too soft.

Clean and tidy everything you could need even milk in fridge on arrival bed comfy lovely veiw of cricket ground Cooker was a challenge to work the large ring didn't work at all no instructions early hours of Monday morning there was lots of banging at the front door and loads of noise for about 20 minutes then noticed as we left the front door had loads of damage to the lock with splinters of wood on the floor. And as we arrived I had to ring to get instructions on the key access this had not been sent. These are only minor middles as the place it's self was great. The windows and blinds could do with a clean but no one is in control of seagulls making the mess

Tried to email saying this but got no response so putting it here. We have recently just returned from our 4 night stay at the Anchor apartment in Scarborough from the 20th April until the 24th April 2022. Unfortunately it wasn't the best experience we have had, this was due to the electric going off on the first morning we were there (the Thursday 21st ). This issue wasn't resolved until tea time that day. Unbelievably, we woke up to the same issue on day four which was the Saturday. However this time it couldn't be resolved and we had to move to another apartment across the town. As you can imagine, it had a massive impact on how we could enjoy our holiday. Although the apartment that we moved to was nice, when we have had a look at the site not only was it cheaper than the one we originally booked it was also quite a distance from where we had paid to park our car. Everyone I spoke to at Host and Stay were lovely but it was so stressfull that I had to call in the first place as I am quite an anxious person. All of these factors resulted in the holiday not being as relaxing as we had hoped.

Lovely bright room, clean and tidy. Very nice view of the cricket grounds to the rear. The room was well furnished and equipped. The description of renting 'the entire apartment' was misleading as it is actually a Studio. There was a partition between the bed and the living area/kitchenette, although it is flimsy and allows light through. Would be much improved with a substantial partition.

The fact that there was no parking available unless you use a disc that wasn’t provided yet we found out that you can get them from local shops free of charge.

There was no Breakfast but Tea , Coffee and Milk much appreciated . Location was very good and peaceful . The view of Scarborough Cricket Ground was fabulous . The Cricket wasn't bad either . Restaurants nearby , town centre within walking distance . The double bed was a little narrow with no spare room to move around I could have done with a Hob guide as it took me while to figure it out .

Burgess

04/04/2022

Decor and general vibe of the apartment was great. Apartment was clean and well-presented. The guide book was comprehensive. The interior is up to date and has obviously been influenced by someone with a keen eye for interior design. Overall it had a very metropolitan London sort of style which was wuite interesting for Scarborough! No view for the particular apartment we stayed in which was not obvious from the pics as the pics on the Booking were was all of the apartments together. Can't really be helped though due to building design. Couple of minor maintenance items: 1: The bed frame bolts need tightening as the frame itself is loose. I tightened them hand-tight but they will come lose again. Just needs someone with an alan key. 2: Door handle rose in bathroom is loose. Just needs tightening with an alan key. Comfort: 1: Sofa is obviously more leaning towards style rather than comfort. It did the job though, so all good.

We liked the idea of utilising an apartment. The washing machine was a plus, as was the dishwasher. The photos on the website suggested a view of the cricket ground to the rear. In fact the view turned out to be a very small courtyard and an annexe to the building - no view of the cricket ground. The site said the property didn't accept pets which was a plus. However, someone upstairs had a dog which we heard running around due to hard floors above, and there were muddy paw prints on the carpets outside our apartment. Also, it was not pleasant to be sitting in the apartment, which was located on the ground floor, to look out of the front window to see a large dog emptying itself in the front garden in front of our window. The place had repair issues, as there were cracks running down the walls, the worktop wasn't sealed properly and there was a good gap between it and the wall, there are no splashbacks behind the hob or sink and these were stained badly. There was some damp in the kitchen. The door furniture was loose and some of it hanging off, such as the scutcheon in the bathroom. The shower drain lacked a cover so we would need to stand on an open drain, and the drain itself was filthy. The walls in the bathroom, although tiled nicely, were filthy and had residue of grout. The walls were dirty around the sink. The hand towel rail was loose and hanging off. The front room window evidently hadn't been cleaned for a long time and there were cobwebs and dead spiders on the sash. The louvre blinds were missing pully-knobs and missing cover slips at the top, one of which was found propped up in the bedroom. The hall way also contained cobwebs at eye level, so clearly this area hadn't been cleaned. Although 2 remote controls were provided for tvs in the front room and bedroom, one of them did not work, so we had to keep taking the remotes from room to room. The bedroom contained no storage for clothing and although there was a hanging rail, it contained only 3 hangers, which was insufficent for two people for a week's clothing.

Very nice welcome book which has so much information such as local amenities, emergency numbers inc doctors, dentists and vets (cute).

Great stay, nice and quiet, immaculately clean. Only drawback and this is been uber picky was the lack of parking, get yourself a parking disc available in some shops which will make your life a little easier.
