  Booking process was simple and straightforward, communication was good.

  We were looking for a large comfortable venue for a 17 person multigenerational, extended family get together, for a week, in an interesting location. The Manor House, and Scarborough, fitted the bill extremely well. Highlights were - sufficient off road parking, plenty of space, comfortable bedrooms, adequate bathrooms, spacious dining room, and the hot tub. Inevitably, there's always room for improvement, so we would offer the following, in a positive spirit. On late Friday arrival we noticed the microwave plate was missing, as was a fridge shelf. An inconvenience as we were largely self catering. By that time 'out of hours' support was 'emergencies only', and as also a Bank Holiday weekend, a response didn't arrive until Tuesday. The issues should have been discovered, and resolved, before we arrived. In our view Support should be proactive on the arrival day, including into the evening. We later reported the hot tub area lights as inoperative. The maintenance guy came round and plugged them in . Unfortunately this kept blowing the Laundry Room circuits, so we unplugged them again. I think this had been a long term issue. The downstairs toilet/bathroom door didn't have a lock. I bought a bolt from B&Q, and fitted it. The main lounge TV wouldn't hold a freeview tuning cycle. Reception kept degrading. Steps down into the garden from the hot tub area were loose and unsafe. Garden though was impressive, we wish we'd had better weather to enjoy it more. Kitchen could do with more baking trays/pans/utensils to cater for a 'full house'. Crockery that matched would more in keeping with the house style. Cutlery needs a major upgrade, for the full Manor House fine dining experience. None of the above was a major issue, so we would recommend The Manor House, and it's environs. It's a great part of the UK to visit.

  WOW! This house is amazing, absolutely perfect for our large family gathering.

  Our family of educators have been going to a house every October half term for the last 20 years and each year our family grows so we need bigger houses. This one is outstanding, with lots of rooms to spread out and find a bit of space and quiet if needed. It was super clean and very well equipped for all our cooking needs. The bedrooms were just right and beds comfy. As it was our 50th wedding year, we got the largest one with the lovely 4 poster bed! The park opposite was lovely too, great little pitch and putt which the kids loved and lots of wildlife. The boating lake was well used and a great little craft day was laid on by the council. The North beach was just a few minutes stroll and the South beach was a lovely walk along the sea prom or , if like me walking that far is difficult, the open top bus is always available. The miniature railway was also just a couple of minutes walk away and did a great Halloween ride. I would really struggle to find anything negative about this house, its facilities or location, but a couple of our party have hot tubs at home and suggested that chlorine tablets were needed as, after a couple of days, the water was a bit foggy, but I would imagine that would be dangerous if you were inexperienced with this. We will certainly return to this gorgeous place but our numbers are reducing as several of the grandchildren are now at university so a slightly smaller house next year! Thanks to everyone involved, the owners, the cleaners, Sykes etc. for making this such a special treat for us all.

  Our family holiday at (the big house) what we called it was amazing, so big ,spacious, clean, fantastic gardens, a real treat to stay there, location was great & plenty of parking for our 5 cars.

  However.....on arrival we found the hot tub was broken with a big crack in it, we where told the previous guest's the week before us had broken it and I should have recieved contact from the owners on our arrival to let us know this, the person who prepared the hot tub for our stay was very helpful & advised us on what to do so we could still enjoy it, although we did have to refill it ourselves every day and having pools of water all over the patio was really not ideal. The annex was beautiful but no ensuite.... the size of this room is plenty big enough to put one in, considering it is not attached to the house I really can't understand why there was no ensuite??? And none of the window's opened to let in fresh air, I have noticed these small issues already have been raised by previous guest's but nothing's been done to rectify these problems, having a hot tub on holiday is a special treat but not when we had to sort it ourselves, surely that's not right!! Apart from that my family had a fantastic time and really enjoyed staying at this beautiful house, I would definitely highly recommend staying there, and would like to return in the future but I feel the price we paid for the week with the hot tub broke did spoil thing's a little. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday as a big family get together and to bring the family pets was a bonus.

  This property is spacious and very clean.

  The bedroom with walkin bathroom is just a few steps outside from the back door and is a lovely addition to the main house. On the photo it does not show a tv but it does have a large one on the wall. Another double bedroom is on the ground floor within the house. There is a ideal open area next to both seating rooms which we used for the children to play. House is safe for young 1s, we had 2 just under 3year olds and could close doors to stairs and kitchen still allowing them to play and be seen. There are logs already there for the log burner. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking with a utility attached having a large fridge freezer in, this is the back way out. Bathroom down stairs has a shower with in the bath. With the 3 bathrooms no1 was waiting to use 1 and there was 16 of us. All beds are cumfy, very clean with bedding and towels. A couple of bedrooms do not have a tv in. The washer and dryer is up stairs which we found was the perfect area. Into the 1st 2bedroom of the stairs, the floor entrance has a very small raise so just be mindful as we tripped untill used to it haha With the size of this property noise from different rooms were hardly heard making it easy for people to go to bed or just relax in peace. We would definitely return to this prpperty.

  Although overall we enjoyed our week, there were quite a few shortcomings in the property.

  It was a lovely building and a generous size, but in some areas under equipped. Kitchen equipment was sparse compared to most places we have stayed, with no butter dish, sugar bowl or serving dishes. Also pans and trays were restricted in number and very battered making them difficult to clean. No extra blankets were supplied for cold nights etc. Numerous cupboard door knobs were loose or broken, ditto light bulbs. Several outside lights were also not working and the wet tub had a leak. We contacted the manager about this and were told to top it up with a hosepipe, which worked. However my major disappointment was with the annex bedroom. It was a large modern bedroom but with one huge drawback - no ensuite facilities. Being a large party we needed to use all the bedrooms and it was no fun standing in the pouring rain at 2.30am keying in a number on a keypad to get into the main house in order to use the toilet. I could not find anywhere this was mentioned in the house details. When you pay £4000 for a week you do expect an indoor toilet for everyone. I feel the owner should be made aware of these issues.
