Guests say
Princess Lodge in Scarborough receives high praise for its cleanliness, thoughtful touches, and prime location. Guests appreciate the spacious, well-equipped property and the welcoming atmosphere, with special mentions of a lovely welcome pack. While parking can be a challenge, the proximity to the beach and town centre is a highlight. The property is ideal for both family gatherings and crafting weekends, offering comfort and a homely feel.
Guests consistently note the exceptional cleanliness of Princess Lodge, describing it as spotless and beautifully presented, contributing to a comfortable and stress-free stay.
The location is highly praised for being within walking distance of the beach and town centre, though parking is noted as the only minor issue due to limited availability.
The property is commended for its comfortable beds and cozy living spaces. However, a mention of single beds not being suitable for taller individuals slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a large range cooker and themed bedrooms. However, a report of a non-working grill and hob indicates some room for improvement in maintenance.
Guests are delighted by the thoughtful welcome packs, which often include treats like prosecco. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it's important to note that such gifts are a kind bonus and not guaranteed.

Parking permits for 4 cars included. No smoking.. Princess Lodge is situated in the old town of Scarborough, just a stone’s throw from the beach. This Grade II listed property built in the early 1800s once had a chemist’s shop on the ground floor, serving the local community from the early 1900s, right up until the 1960s. The property is now a wonderful holiday home with plenty of space for ten people.
The old town is where the fishermen’s cottages, quay side and shipyards were located. All the streets of the old town are on the hillside so the wives could watch for the boats coming back in. A short walk and you are in the town centre, where you can walk through the indoor market and onto the high street.
Scarborough has plenty to do for people of all ages, with two fantastic beaches and a long promenade, perfect for an evening stroll. Peasholm Park is well worth a visit, especially for those with children as there are pedalos, rowing boats and canoes so you can enjoy sailing around the beautiful lake.
For evening entertainment, Scarborough Open Air Theatre is the largest in Europe where many international acts put on shows throughout the summer. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance from the property, and for those who enjoy shopping the High Street is just a 5-minute walk away.
Filey, Whitby and Bridlington are all a short drive away making the property ideally placed to visit these towns, as well as the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Wolds. The medieval city of York is less than an hour away by car or you can catch a direct train from Scarborough.

We had some tall people in our group and some of the single beds had metal at the base which made them not long enough. Otherwise great location.

The house was exceptionally clean when we arrived. There was a lovely welcome pack left for us which contained all the basics like tea, sugar etc. Even included a lovely bottle of prosecco to enjoy. This was a lovely touch. The house was spacious and comfortable. There was nothing that was not at hand in the kitchen and it was easy to cook on the large Range cooker. All the utilities were there for cleaning up if you needed them.Parking permits were supplied along with other information. Parking was the only real issue as it is limited so you might if you are unlucky need to park a little bit away from the property. The location is within walking distance of the main front and the beach. We had to plenty to do when we were there. Will highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip.
