  Beechwood Vista is a very comfortable, well-equipped property in a quiet road with a magnificent view across part of the North York Moors National Park through the sitting-room window.

  There is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with plenty of empty cupboard space in the kitchen. The bedroom also faces the North York Moors and has plenty of storage space. The bathroom is spacious and the shower is amazing. There is a knack to flushing the toilet but my husband soon sussed that out (hold the button down for as long as you can!) We didn't go upstairs as there were only 2 of us and I saw no need, in that case, to brave the paddle stairs! The cottage was warm and cost although we didn't the warmth as the week wore on! We were lucky in that the bottom flat was unoccupied so we didn't need to park beneath the pesky pigeon tree nor worry about whether any noise that we made was disturbing anyone beneath us. We only had noise disturbance one night when an inconsiderate person was driving round and round in their very noisy car at 1 a.m.for quite a while but, apart from that, the peace and quiet was constant. Beechwood Vista is a short walk to the main road where the no 10 bus goes into Scarborough every 30 minutes and the X93/94 goes regularly in the opposite direction towards Whitby. The Whitby bus (10a.m) was only a single Decker and was standing room only so we only did that trip once and used the Whitby park and ride service after that. Nearby attractions are Whitby, Scarborough, Flamingo Land, North York Moors Railway and Mathewsons Car Auctions Showrooms (open to the public two weeks before each auction)- if you are a fan of the TV programme "Bangers and Cash"! We had a brilliant 5 days here and would definitely return-if the bottom flat was unoccupied again. Beechwood Vista was amongst one of the best holiday homes that we have stayed in so far.

  A lovely comfortable, clean apartment with beautiful views out of the windows.

  Spoilt a little by trees either side if the window blocking the view. The parking space was tight and due to birds in the over-hanging branches, our car had ti be cleaned of bird poo every day. This was annoying as was the fact we could not avoid walking in it and treading it into the car. Two of the mugs had to be put in soak as they had what looked like dried on soup on the insides. We felt the frying pans are not fit for purpose and the cutlery is flimsy. The switch on the lamp at the side of the sofa was crackling. Not wanting to climb behind the sofa to unplug it, we pulled the extension cable plug out of the socket, not realising the hub also served the apartment below us. We are not computer literate. The next day the owner of property came and pointed out to us there was a sticker on the plug instructing us not to un-plug it. However we would have had to get on our knees to read it and it still would have been difficult as the sticker went around the sides of the plug. We did apologise and explained why we pulled the plug. A suggestion we would like to make is; instead if stickers on switches, some information on a board near the front door and some in a black folder, maybe put all of the do's and don'ts in the black folder, including that the hub serves both apartments. Put a note on the bord by the front door directing visitors to the black folder.

  The location is excellent, very good internet signal, spotlessly clean, great view from the bay window, very good kitchen with everything you need.

  Very nice modern bathrooms with good hot water and shower pressure.Nice dining table and chairs in the bay window. Very good TV. Nice decor. Comfortable beds. Easy parking at the back and you can see you car from a small bedroom window. Shared laundry room on the ground floor worked perfectly. Nice landing / public areas. Only one sofa where all other apartments have 2. The 'missing' sofa has 2 very uncomfortable waiting room style bucket chairs instead, which means if you are in a group of more than 2 there is no where comfortable for everyone to sit. Small bedroom issue - This is located next to the adjoining apartment living room with the TV next to the party wall. This meant that my daughter was unable to sleep in this room as the noise from the TV comes through the wall. This was such a shame. Overall a super apartment, in a great location and spotlessly clean. Message to the owner as Sykes make contact impossible: The vacuum cleaner in the cupboard is broken at the base. The latch / lock on the door to the landing needs adjusting as it can only be opened / closed by heavily pulling / pushing against it. The front door can stick on the latch (some other guests mentioned this). It only needs a spray with WD40 to fix this.

  We have had another wonderful holiday at Manor Heath Apartments.

  we cannot wait to re book for next year ! I can’t say anything negative about this accommodation, it’s perfectly situated too. Only a few minutes walk to the beach and directly across from Peasholm Park. The apartments are absolutely beautiful, they have everything you need and the quality of furnishings are excellent. The bottle of wine was a nice touch too. There’s allocated parking at the rear of the accommodation in a private car park so no worries about having to find a spot being so near the beach etc. The shared laundry is on the ground floor, we’ve never used it and although it was being used by others there was plenty of opportunity for us to use it if we needed. The only slight niggle I had (nothing about the accommodation) was that some of the occupants left the back door into the car park unlocked at night. Meaning anyone could walk into the property. A sign in the door clearly states to ensure door is locked at all times. We always locked our apartment door even during the day but others in the apartment might not. Every night we just used to go down last thing and lock the door. We are looking forward to returning next year, hopefully back in apartment 4.

  In general we had a great stay.

  The location and comfort of the property was great. What let it down was the cleanliness of the kitchen. The grill pan hadn’t been cleaned and still had foil in it, the chopping board was grubby and smelled, all of the cutlery was worn/wobbly and difficult to eat with and the drainers in/on the sink were both dirty. The shower could do with a new curtain as it was also grubby and it was difficult to shower without it sticking to you. The rest of the property was pretty clean with just a few dusty areas. There were also cobwebs down the back of the bed where the plug sockets were. Positively the view is amazing, and the conservatory was a nice addition. The parking is quite tight, especially if there is a car in the other space. Also if you park under the tree be prepared for a significant amount of bird droppings on your car. There is plenty of space on the road outside to park.
