Tennyson House Reviews

Lovely property and in walking distance for all amenities.
Brilliant properly and very well located in Scarborough. Perfectly clean when we arrived. Plenty of cookware and dinnerware for a full house. Sofas and beds were all extremely comfortable and the tables and hot tub outside made for a great socialising space. The listing was very accurate, and as stated, there is only room for 2 small cars offstreet. However, the host reached out in advance to see how many cars we were bringing and left enough parking permits for us to park just outside the house for the duration of our stay. The host was very accommodating of our requests prior to our stay, and was easy to contact when needed during the stay.

We were very happy with the property, although it was stated you could get 2 cars on the drive, you could not, it was also very tight, struggled to get out of the car I would suggest leave the car on the road, most of the house was in very good state but the top bedroom had some sort of maintenance done and not finished of it needed painting over we would use the house again with theses little issues addressed,
Excellent accommodation for our family reunion 3 generations and small dogs. Beds were very comfortable bathrooms all clean, all the kitchen facilities we needed and we sat all 16 at the dining table for our final evening meal. The hot tub was well used but missed having hooks to hold towels. Location is fabulous close to Peasholm Park, North Bay, the town and South Bay. A fantastic place to stay we may come again!
This house is amazing. It's so lovely and clean. It is lovely to be all together. We spent so much time together in the living room all together talking and laughing it's made lovely memories. The beds are sooooo comfy. Great location. Great facilities. We will definitely return here.
We had the most amazing weekend! We went to celebrate our daughter's 40th birthday. Julie was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. The house hot tub location couldn't be faulted. Thank you again. We hope to use the house again!!!
Rebecca
We had a wonderful weekend away. The property is in a perfect location and exceptionally well equipped, offering everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The owner was highly communicative and provided detailed information prior to our arrival, including all relevant contact numbers should any issues arise. A very wellmanaged and thoughtfully prepared home highly recommended.
We all had a fantastic stay at Tennyson House. The house was short walk to the shops, Peasholm Park just across the road and beach 5 minutes walk.
Graham
Loved our stay. Ideal location as was a short walk to most things. Loved the under cover produce and dining market which is about a 15 minute walk from the property. The welcome folder was a godsend. The garage door takes a little patience and the internal parking is more suitable for two small vehicles. Having said that, there is ample parking on the street and plenty of passes left for all.
Terasa
We had a fantastic stay at Tennyson House. The house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and well maintained and had everything we needed for our weekend. The property is in an ideal location for Scarborough's north bay, open air theatre, peasholm park and not far from town and then south bay too.

We had a brilliant family long weekend in this lovely home. Large rooms, very comfortable beds, everything you need and the added bonus of a hot tub. Julie was an excellent host and very helpful. Would throughly recommend this property.
Vanessa
Stunning property and perfect location. TV in front sitting room did not seem to work and shower in front bedroom did not work either, there was also visible mould in the shower cubicle. Neither of these problems effected our stay as there is a second TV in the rear sitting area and there are multiple bathrooms to use. Im sure this would have been sorted during our stay, but we only used it for a base. The condition of the house otherwise is of very high standard, and the beds are extremely comfortable. The garden area and hot tub is very much an added bonus to this property. Communication with Julie was fantastic throughout.
The house was lovely nice and clean. Its in a perfect area walking distance to the beach and a 20min walk to the south side. It would be nice if there were mirrors in the bedroom to make getting ready easier. Overall the house was lovely and there is lots of room.
The only issue was that we couldnt not access parking at side of house as lots of bins in the way. Luckily road parking wasnt busy and we had been left enough passess
ROBERT
Fantastic family weekend away at Tennyson House. The house is very large and comfortably fit our 13 adults and 3 kids whether we were all together or in small groups in the different rooms. Very clean and tidy with all the appliances youd need, a nice touch of having washing up liquid, washing machine and dishwasher tablets. Hot tub very clean, hot and you could even have a view of the TV. A few things to note, the offroad parking is a bit tight. If youve got larger cars youd only only comfortably get 1 in but thats no issues as passes are provided for parking on the street, a nice touch from the owners having discs for visiting other parts of Scarborough. Theres no downstairs toilet and the stairs are quite steep, so keep that in mind for any older family members. The WiFi was abit slow with everyone on it, unable to load Netflix on the tv. We had an issue with the central heating but someone was round within 5 minutes and all sorted. All these things were very minor and didnt impact our stay, just something to keep in mind. Overall a very nice stay and a very attentive host who had great communication.
Annette
A comfortable house ideal for a big group. Everywhere was clean and it was great to be able to sit together to eat or socialise but there was sufficient space to be separate if necessary The hot tub was a definite plus Parking was not a problem even for 8 cars and parking discs and scratch off cards were provided. We rang owner on arrival as key safe was empty she was very helpful and issue was resolved in minutes. House is only a few minutes walk from Peasholm Park and North Bay. There is a convenient shop, chip shop and even a bar although we didnt go in close by . Would definitely return if doing a group holiday again
The facilities were extremely comfortable, and there is plenty of space to relax. The cleanliness is amazing and it is a nice touch that cleaning supplies are provided. Would highly recommend and stay again!!
The inside of the property was great. Really comfortable and clean. Excellent information all laid out and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment. Unfortunately the outside space had cat poo right next to the outdoor eating space which had obviously just been covered over with straw, rather than cleaned up. The facilities team responded by text to us but didn't come to clean it up so we just couldn't face using that area. This was a disappointment in a house that cost so much to hire.
Tennyson house was in a brilliant location close to all the amenities, with lots of room for all our friends and family. The local management company and Julie, were so helpful, I would definately stay again. Scarborough had so many things to do, and kids and adults were entertained all week.
Philip
Excellent location lovely clean house Well organised parking for several cars
The family get together went really well. Thank you Jacqueline. Be proud of your super house. It is ideal for groups to use. The hot tub went down well too.
Was a lovely, spacious house. Thoughtfully laid out and in good location.
We were promised a stair safety gate for the bottom of the stairs for a two year old. It was not delivered. An animal appeared to have done his business near the hot tub.
The house fitted very nicely our needs. Nothing major to complain about. Small things which could be inproved. Wifi only on the Ground floor No instructions for the dishwasher. A cat that sh outside the back door every day. Availability of extra bed linen. We feel a checkout at 1000 am is too early. 7 adults and 7 kids to get out of the hose by 1000 was. Stressful. Checkout time will affect my next choice of house.
Stuart
Really enjoyed our stay at the retreat everything was well presented and modern and comfortable. We would definitely come back again. We praised you to all how friends and family. Thank you for the experience.
There was a minor problem with a leaking shower seal but I texted this through to the contact provided who thanked me for letting them know and said they'd deal with it. The communication was good in general and really welcoming
Excellent communications from the owner prior to arrival. The house was clean and tidy, lovely warm hot tub. Overall feedback from our group was that the house is a great place for large groups to stay. Good location close to shops and bars but in a quiet area. Felt like a home from home. The bedrooms were all comfy and shower facilities excellent.
Briony
Had a lovely girls weekend at the house, perfect for our needs and close enough to walk to the see front
We had a lovely stay at the retreat! ! The owner was so lovely and obliging. We were informed of an issue with the dishwasher which we don't use but it was sorted regardless the next day with a lovely handyman. The rooms were so comfortable especially the sofas!! The hot tub was amazing and the fake grass an added bonus no sludgy dog paws!! Only draw back we found was no downstairs loo. The stairs were on the steep side but it was all good. The location was perfect and the chippy round the corner well worth a visit!! Thanks for having us it was just what we needed!! X
We stayed a few weeks back for our first family get away. The house was spotless and had everything you needed to accommodate a 3 year to 82 year old. Theres plenty or room so you dont feel your all on top of each other. Julie was fantastic and contacted me several times before our stay with all the information we needed to access the property and to check everything was ok. The location is great, 2 mins walk down road and youre in the park have shop, chip shop and cafe. Theres a pub 10 minutes walk away with a pool table. Keep going down the hill and youre at the beach. Fantastic house in a great location!!
Excellent communication prior to arrival Excellent position near to local shopseateries amazing fish n chips on row of shops 2 mins away Christmas trees really nice touch Kitchen very well stocked for large group of 14 adults Hot tub was amazing and in excellent position near to back door Beds extremely comfortable though some elderly members of group thought bedrooms were a little chilly and could have done with thicker duvets, though to be fair it was a very cold weekend, with ice on ground Perhaps things to consider There were no locks on any of the communal bathroomstoilets this would have improved privacy and comfort. Mirrors absent in some of the bedrooms. A little tight sitting around dining table for 14 adults potentially 16 if all adults in party Overall, I would recommend The Retreat for a large group!
Lovely stay, had everything you need and very helpful information provided before your stay. Perfect location. Will be back again.
Anthony
Superb family house on a great location!
Rachel
Just come back from The Retreat weve had a fabulous 5 days. Close to Scarborough we walked it in 1520 mins,lots to do nearby we had a lovely walk in Peasholm Park with the dogs
Great stay for a group of 16. Well equipped kitchen. Superb hot tub, All rooms are spacious and comfortable. All essentials are provided. Easily accessible to beach and a beautiful park. Above all, Samantha is great in dealing with customers and have ensured we are briefed appropriately. One note, be careful with the parking disc, ensure you turned the clock in disc as we got a parking ticket. Nothing to do with the accomadation though. All other aspects 100 percent happy
We had a great weekend. The house was lovely and well situated.
Amazing house with plenty of space. Perfect for the weekend away we wanted. It was great to have outdoor space as well as the large communal rooms inside. Great location so close to the beach and great cafes and fish and chip shop nearby. Only slight drawback was parking as could only park for a few hours on the road during the day with a disc so a few of us who werent parked in the garage had to pay for 24hrs at a carpark down the road. We didnt mind having to do this but it would have been good to know beforehand.
Deborah
We had a great stay at the retreat stunning house with everything you could possibly need for a fabulous coastal holiday. Location was excellent 2 minutes from the beach and peasholm park,plenty of cafes,bars and shops nearby,loads of communication from owner before our trip welcoming us to retreat and informative info pack when we got there.we were all gutted to leave.
