Riverside House Reviews

We had to find accomm at very short notice and we came across this wonderful house with a great location . It catered for all of us . Warm and comfortable and everything we needed for a long weekend. Will be back
Large roomy accommodation, plenty spaces for family of 10, ages 8 to 80. Huge private garden, lots of birds to spot even saw a vixen with her cubs.The house was well equipped, we wanted for nothing. Only downside is lack of pavement outside the property, also a strange dustbin arrangement where all rubbish went together.
Lots of room for al of my family and lovely views from the living area out onto the back garden. Very clean & organised property and we easily settled into enjoying the comfort of the living, dining space and the games room, Teenage Grandchildren loved this room. Close proximity to the North Beach was an added advantage as we left all 4 cars back in the drive. All in all we had a wonderful few days together staying in Riverside House.
Lovely, large, well maintained, spotless house near the North Bay in Scarborough. With five large bedrooms and three bathroomsshower rooms, this is an obvious choice for larger families or friends to base themselves when visiting North Yorkshire. Although we didnt really use the outside areas, plenty of space for outdoor dining andor entertaining. I can 100 recommend this holiday property and intend returning.
We have just come back from a wonderful weeks stay at Riverside House. There were ten of us in our party and the accommodation suited us perfectly. Everything was beautifully presented with everything we needed for our stay. We would all recommend this accommodation to anyone and hope to return in the future.
