About this property
Riverside House is a stylish holiday home, set on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Perfect for a gathering of family or friends, this spacious property has everything you need for a self-catering break, while being within easy reach of Scarborough's attractions and beach, and North Yorkshire's many attractive towns and villages. Off-road parking greets you on arrival, before stepping into an open-plan living space, where you can dine at the table for 10, unwind in front of the woodburning stove, or simply admire the views from the bright and airy snug area. When hunger strikes, the kitchen has everything you need to whip up a family dinner, including an American-style fridge/freezer and a handy dishwasher. Making your way through the property, a door leads out to a convenient ground-floor shower room, perfect after a day at the beach. From here, the garage/games room can provide you with your evening entertainment; why not unleash your competitive side with a game of pool or table tennis? After a fun-filled day, climb the stairs to the first floor where five bedrooms lie; three king-size and two twins, each with storage for your belongings, and a tasteful décor invite you to rest your eyes. Finishing off the interior of Riverside House is a bathroom with a gorgeous freestanding bath to soak in, along with another shower room so there is plenty of room to get ready for a day out. Externally, the multilevel garden leaves little to be desired with furniture for dining alfresco, a lawn for games, and ample space to savour the warmer months. The coastal town of Scarborough is bursting with things to do, all year around; avid golfers may want to spend an afternoon at Scarborough North Cliff Golf Club, animal lovers may want to explore the SEA LIFE centre, and walkers of your group can wander the Cleveland Way path. In the heart of the town, you can also find an array of pubs and eateries for the nights you just don't feel like cooking, as well as a variety of beaches and fish and chip shops for a quintessential seaside break. Follow the coastline up to the iconic town of Whitby, known for its dramatic abbey, gorgeous architecture, and the famous 199 steps. Further afield, venture into the city of York for more shopping and dining options, or to the North York Moors National Park for walking and cycling in abundance. Bring your loved ones to Riverside House for a break you'll remember for years to come.
Popular since Victorian times, the vibrant seaside town of Scarborough retains many of its original fine buildings, parks and gardens, as well as its historic castle which overlooks the town. North Bay and South Bay provide two superb stretches of beautiful, golden sandy beaches, popular with families and small children. There are a number of child friendly activities and many excellent visitor attractions for grown-ups too, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa and Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music. Scarborough is a great location for outdoor activities, with golf courses, lovely coastal walks along the Cleveland Way, stunning cycle routes such as the old railway to Whitby, beautiful sailing and championship quality surfing. Add to this all the usual seaside entertainment and bustling promenades located close to the beach and Scarborough is the destination with something for everyone. Ideally situated for touring the coastline and the moors, Scarborough is an ideal base for a fun-filled break.

We all loved the house and it was so comfortable and warm. The house had everything we needed with plenty of space for us all. The additional garage/games room was brilliant for the kids and for us adults too. Huge lovely outdoor space and wonderful to see a baby deer strolling around in the garden. I would highly recommend a stay in this house, we had a day out in Whitby, a day out in Robin hoods bay and a day enjoying the Scarborough coastline. All of these places were easily accessible.

! What a fabulous holiday home! Spotless, spacious, well equipped and so comfortable. It exceeded our expections. The room overlooking the garden was fantastic, just perfect for relaxing and the games room was a big hit too. The location was perfect, we used it as a base to visit Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough and Bridlington and so many other places close by. It was perfect for our family's needs and we would thoroughly recommend staying here. We hope to return soon. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.
