The town centre is just a mile away with some excellent bars, restaurants, cafés and shops, as well as the Stephen Joseph Theatre, home to most of Alan Aykbourn’s premiers and well worth visiting. Scarborough boasts two bays, the North Bay and the South Bay, separated by the castle perched on the headland. The Marine Drive runs all the way along both the bays making it a great place for a long leisurely walk along the seafront. The North Bay is the quieter of the two, whereas the South Bay has the traditional seasides amusements, donkey rides and fun fair.
Scarborough is a great base from which to visit the rest of the east coast with Whitby, Staithes and Robin Hood’s Bay to the north, and Bridlington and Filey with its award winning beach to the south. The rspb bird sanctuary at Bempton Cliffs is a short drive where you can view all the migrating seabirds especially the ever popular puffins. Scarborough has an excellent train service and you can catch direct trains to the medieval city of York, or it’s just an hour’s drive by car.

Excellent property, very clean and everything you need is provided. The location is excellent with a short steep walk from the beach and Peasholm park. The bus along the promenade runs to the Spa at the far end of the South bay and is an excellent way to get around. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful house, extremely well equipped with everything you could need with little extras you need but don't expect, handsoaps, etc. The welcome tray and fridge items, along with a vase of fresh flowers were very well received. The house is very tastefully decorated with lovely lighting and we spent very pleasant evenings there after our trips out during the day.The beach and the park were very convenient for walks with the dogs and the location was a great base for visiting the area.We would highly recommend Broom House, it was an excellent holiday and we would like to return at a future date
