Sophie

Great place and location! Easy access via key box. Thanks for a great weekend

Superb location for an extended family get together including a 7 month old and a 90 year old. Very close to the park and North Bay. Lovely quiet area. House was spacious with two large lounges and a massive dining room. Excellent having all en suite facilities. Only slight grumble was that some of the mattresses needed replacing.

Sheila

This is a beautiful house with spacious bedrooms, 2 lovely comfortable lounges, fantastic kitchen facilities with an American fridge freezer and large storage cupboard for all our food. Dining room that was perfect for us all to eat together and play games around a large table. A bonus was the ground floor bedroom with walk in shower for the less abled bodies of our group. This house is so close to Peasholm park even I managed to get there in a few minutes even though I was very slow on crutches. The north bay beach is not much further away and a nice ice cream parlour on route. Loved every minute of this stay and would recommend it for anyone wanting a large group get together in a beautiful location and accommodation.

A brilliant house to gather as a mix of families and spend quality time together! Such a rarity to have a house with all ensuite bedrooms.

Lovely property, great for a large family get together, near transport links and local shops, cafes and bars etc. Had everything you need.

Malcolm

A wellpositioned house, a few minutes walk to North Beach and close to Peasholm Park. The accommodation was beautifully clean, spacious and well equipped. Hillcrest is a professionally run holiday cottage without the private ownership costcutting issues that so often bug me, so, for example, it has good quality furniture. My party had several welltravelled members and everyone agreed it was the best self catering accommodation they'd ever stayed in. Well done the management company!

Really enjoyed our stay and will defo book again! Perfect facilities and location. Just a couple of things to comment in case you weren't aware We couldn't get the TV to work in the kingsize room with the bath and there was a little bit of mould in the bar fridge on the bottom and around the door prob just through lack of use and being left shut.

The house is lovely and in a great location. Warm and cosy and very comfortable.

House was great, clean and had everything we needed. Already booked for next year. Highly recommend.

Edward

Excellent location and facilities. Wear and tear to be expected with the number of different guests staying there. Thank you for your quick reply and sending a handyman to fix the problems. We chose this property because of the on suites to each room, chairs instead of benches at the dining table and parking for 5 cars

Eileen

13 of us loved our stay in this property. Clean, comfortable and well placed for beach and town. No complaints and would stay again.

The house was great. Perfect location, close to the park and beach, quiet, and well maintained on the whole. Lovely to have ensuites in each bedroom, a real plus!, plenty of space for us all around the table to eat, lounges are both comfy and welcoming. Outside space is all paved, theres a mix of chairs which enabled us to sit out. The keys were missing from the patio door in the dining room unfortunately, which meant that it was very hot we were lucky enough to have warm sunny weather! and we couldnt access the outside space from there, which was a shame. The photo of the kitchen gives an impression its bigger than it is. For us, this wasnt an issue, we managed fine, but it isnt a space that accommodates more than a couple of people happily, we catered fine for our party of 12. The main fridge is a very good size, with an extra drinks fridge in the lounge which was great for bottles etc. The house has a comfy feeling, and works well for a big group. The decor isnt for everyone, wallpaper choices are bold rather than neutral, but its comfortable, clean, and welcoming. We had a great stay, and would happily return.

We had a great stay at Hillcrest, as a large family gathering. There was more than enough space for us all. Well equipped and in a great location for the beaches and parks.

Rachel

We had a wonderful stay at Hillcrest for my mothers 70th birthday. Perfect location, close to the park, beach and shopsamenities. Enough parking for 4 cars. Clean and tidy, we stayed very comfortably and was very handy having the 2 sitting rooms and ensuites in every room. However was a little downside only having one ensuite bath with 5 young children in the house but we managed. We would recommend this property to others, we had a wonderful week! Some things to note a couple of the beds the children slept on werent comfy for adults, lucky the kids didnt notice ie top floor single&double room, several of the shower heads need to be replaced, please include more coffee cups not enough for amount of people staying, provide more hair dryers. The dining room chairs kept shredding the leather even beneath the covers so we had to keep hovering it up recommend to replace them. Another suggestion would be to change the TV in the green sitting room to a smart TV so there are 2 in the property. Noticed coffee machine wasnt working and owner replaced within a couple of days thank you for this!

Deirdre

It was a lovely house in a great location near to the park and North Shore beach. The bedrooms were all nicely decorated and spacious although the ensuite bathrooms are very small and the showers extremely compact! However we did appreciate that every bedroom did have its own bathroom so that compensated for the very small bathroomsshowers. I would definitely recommend the house to others and would return myself.

Graham

I was disappointed finding out after booking we could have had a week for same money. so that leaves a poor impression of sykes cottages

This is a great property for large groups we had a fabulous family holiday here . Very comfortable beds , spacious and the dining table is big enough for everyone to eat around . Loved the 2 separate rooms to relax in . Very close to Peasholm Park and the North bay . So much to discover on the doorstep . We hope to visit again . Thank you

The house is lovely with all the facilities and equipment needed. Very spacious for 14 of us and nice to have our own bathrooms. Walking distance to the North beach and into the town centre. We would definitely recommend this property.

To celebrate my 80th birthday 14 members of my family stayed at Hillcrest Friday to Monday. The house was amazing, with ensuite bedrooms to accommodate everybody. It was spotlessly clean, very warm and had everything we needed to cook, relax and enjoy our stay. Hillcrest is in an ideal spot for enjoying Scarborough with the North Bay, cafes and local shops nearby. Thank you.

Rebecca

We had a great stay at Hillcrest. It was spacious, comfortable and well located. All the rooms being ensuite was a bonus and the beds were very comfy. A very short walk to the beach, park and some nice pubs. We hope to return!

Had an excellent stay at this house. There was plenty of room to relax and a huge dining space, though the kitchen is a little tight for a large house. Very handy for a large group that all bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms, making it much easier to get out and about on a morning!

Lindsey

We booked Hillcrest house as a family of three generations. The size of the house was brilliant for our large party and facilities were good. A useful utility area with fridgefreezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Our stay was for a week so these were quite important. We'd asked for highchair and travel cot and these were provided. 2 sitting rooms as well as a large dining room. The location of the house was ideal and within easy walking distance of the seafront and the town centre. On the whole the house was clean and well cared for. If I had any slight criticism at all it would be as follows. Some of the shower cubicles were a little on the small side but there's not much can be done about this. During our stay one of our party lost their reading glasses and proceeded to check down the side and back of the sofas. There were bits of paper and fluffy that had obviously been there for a while so these could do with a thorough clean out. The yale lock on the outer door was a little rickety but as there was also an inner lockable door then this didn't pose a security problem. These small things didn't detract from our stay which was very enjoyable.

Yvette

Beautiful house, exceptionally clean & warm, secure outside area, perfect for our furry friend, well equipped kitchen, this is the best sykes accommodation that we have stayed in, the location was perfect. Really happy with our stay and would definitely return, thank you

Fantastic house! Every aspect of the house was great, but for our family the downstairs bedroom, and accessibility of the property, were the most important as my Dad has mobility problems. We wouldn't have been able to get away together without this. There is an incline from the main road up to the property but Dad's little mobility scooter managed it fine. Would definitely recommend for a large group and would stay here again.

Ann-marie

This property was perfect for our large family which included elderly grand parents, brothers with additional needs and a busy 5 year old. Tvs and ensuites in every bedroom. Accessible downstairs bedroom. 2 sitting rooms and large dining room so loads of space to spread out. Brilliant location for Peasholm Park and 10 minute walk from Northbay beach and cafes. Amenities on the doorstep. Plenty of off street parking. I think our only suggested improvement is that maybe some necessities were a little short on supply such as spare toilet rolls, bin bags and dish washer tablets. Whilst it's reasonable to expect to have to buy extra, for a large house with capacity for 16 people we felt perhaps there could have been more. This did not spoil our holiday though! Owners were excellent at responding to issuesa fault with the oven etc. And the bottles of prosecco were a very nice touch!

Christine

Hillcrest House is a beautiful house, on arrival we were amazed how spacious it was as you can't always judge things on photos on website. It was so relaxing with 2 lounges the bedrooms were all ensuute, everyone slept really well as the beds were so comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped, everything you needed. The location is absolutely perfect, so quiet next to Peasholm Park 5 minutes to the beach. To sum up our stay at Hillcrest House was amazing definitely 5 star accommodation, we all had a fantastic time would love to return some time. Couldn't fault anything.

Susanne

Very warm comfortable accommodation in a quiet residential area. Top floor back bedroom needs a new mattress but all other bedrooms were fine. We were a mixed group of old school friends and would all highly recommend this house.

Gillian

This a superb House, its our second visit. Everything is very tastefully done and having every lovely bedroom ensuite is a very great plus. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a large holiday house. Thank you.

A very nice property for larger family groups. Ample space to cook and dine, to rest and lounge. The only comment to make is the early departure request. 900am is a tat too early.

Lovely big house, plenty of room for 13 people adults. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for a large party, which is unusual we have stayed in big houses for 20 years and there are not normally enough big pots etc to cook for a large party. Great to have a separate utility and downstairs wc especially if your bedroom was on the top floor! One downside was the checkout time of 9am. Although when I asked it was extended to 11am but that wasn't informed until the day before departure and we had already decided to leave the day before because of this although the gesture was appreciated. It would put me off staying again as we had to cut the holiday short. All in all though a great house, we had a fabulous week and never felt at any time cramped in the property.

Patricia

This was a great place to stay for our 3 day work retreat in Scarborough for 9 adults and 2 children. The rooms were super comfortable and clean and it was an added luxury that they all were ensuite. The house was really warm which was great after being outside in the bracing sea wind. I would highly recommend it for other similar groups. The only niggle was that we couldn't get the safety lock to open with the code to leave the keys when we left before 9 and no one was available at the office to answer the phone.

Nice cosy house. Mostly comfortable and quiet. Main niggles Dining room extremely awkward for elderly manoevres kitchen equipment, eg no carving fork, blunt knives, no cooker or microwave instructions. But in comparison to at least 20 other houses we've stayed in as a group over the past 40 odd years, not bad!

Great location in easy reach walking to most places of interest. The beds and bedrooms are comfortable. Plenty of seating over the two lounges and of good quality. The kitchen is small in comparison to other properties we have stayed in. Eleven people all trying to get their breakfast became an art. Apart from that would highly recommend the property.

Excellent well appointed property ideal for our mixed family group of 8 adults and 5 children. Clean and well equipped kitchen, I took my own pizza baking trays as find these are never provided in holiday properties. Cooker seemed to take long time to heat up and had to cook at higher temperature than I would at home. Would have liked to know there was a coffee machine in the kitchen. There were nice touches like the welcome tray in the kitchen, soap bars and toilet rolls in the bathrooms Overall this was a lovely property in a great location.

Rosemary

A lovely house in a perfect location for enjoying all the area has to offer. We found it spotlessly clean and generously equipped, with extra thoughtful touches like umbrellas and torches neither were needed, but appreciated none the less. An excellent venue for a family gathering.

Lovely house with all bedrooms having en suites. The oven seemed quite poor failing to heat up fully. This may be because the grill tray, covered by a foil wrapped shelf was set so they the fan was bisected. As a result food took three times as long as it should have done to cook.

Kelvyn

Great Easter weekend for our extended family. House was fantastic having 8 ensuite bedrooms. Only slight issue was the size of the kitchen when catering for a party of 15. Location was perfect and we had a great time, thank you, kelvyn ashby

Gillian

It was a wonderful, comfy and very warm house. The bedrooms were delightful. We were 8 friends, of various ages, 1 in her eighties, 1 in her seventies and the rest in their sixties. Everyone was delighted with the house and its position. We will be back. if you will have us . Thank you.

Rachael

We thought the property was really lovely, thanks for having us to stay. Just two issues, one was that one toilet was used, unflushed and blocked when we arrived, secondly it would have been nice if there was hand soap in the bathrooms. Thanks again Rachael
