Guests say
Mayville House in Scarborough is a spacious and well-equipped property, appreciated for its central location and suitability for large groups. Guests have praised the comfortable furnishings, ample bathrooms, and the warm welcome from the owner. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns were noted, the quick response to resolve them was commended. The property's proximity to local amenities and attractions adds to its appeal for a pleasant stay.
Most guests found Mayville House clean and well-maintained, though a few noted issues with cleanliness upon arrival, such as dirty towels and linens. These instances seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, and the owner's responsiveness to concerns suggests a commitment to guest satisfaction.
The property's central location is highly praised, with easy access to shops, attractions, and the beach. Guests appreciated the convenience of a nearby Tesco Express and the short walk to town centre, making it an ideal base for exploring Scarborough.
Guests have consistently remarked on the comfortable beds and spacious living areas, which accommodate large groups well. Some guests mentioned issues with heating and uncomfortable beds on the top floor, but overall, the property is seen as cosy and inviting.
The house is well-equipped with a large dining table, TVs in most rooms, and sufficient kitchenware. However, guests have reported blunt kitchen knives, a broken bed, and issues with heating consistency. The owner's prompt action to address these concerns mitigates the impact on the overall experience.
While guests have expressed appreciation for the owner's helpfulness and the provision of parking permits, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

We were 6 adults and 6 children. Lovely comfy 1st floor lounge for us all to socialise,all very clean and cosy. A very well equipped kitchen,plenty of everything you needed. A Tesco and takeaway right on the doorstep and central for all Scarborough has to offer. We would certainly love to stay here again. Perfect little break away. Thank you Mayville â¤ï¸

Only downside would be for people with mobility issues due to the amount of stairs

There were eight of us and all have enjoyed our stay there. Everything you could need and all good quality, it was all very clean, we had no complaints. A lovely house in a good location.
