The town is within walking distance and has lots of boutiques, and for those who prefer the nightlife, there are plenty of bars, restaurants, clubs, and a casino. Scarborough benefits from two bays; the South Bay is a traditional seaside resort with donkeys, amusements, and shops, whereas the North Bay, a few minutes walk away from the house, is quieter and more relaxed. At the far end of North Bay is the Sea Life Centre where you can walk through an underwater tunnel and see the rescue seals. Halfway between the two bays, the castle stands proudly on the cliffs above. Further down the coast are Filey, Flamborough and Bridlington and up north are historic Whitby. Beach ½ mile. Pub 350 yards.

This was our first stay and it was that good we have already booked for next year. The house is very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. It is the perfect location with the added bonus of it's own parking spaces. We met Michelle the owner who was so helpful and contactable if required. We enjoyed the perfect holiday at our stay and looking forward to coming back again.

We stayed for the 2nd time and will definitely be back again. Loved the location of this fantastic property. So easy to pop across the road to Peasholm Park or to visit the beach and sea front of North Bay. We recommend Bella Rose cafe nearby, it has a full menu with great cooked breakfasts and very reasonable prices.This house has everything you could wish for - very comfortable beds and sofas, strong showers and every need thoughtfully provided. So helpful to have dishwasher and washer pods, condiments, umbrellas, beach toys etc.The welcome packs for us and for our mini dachshund were amazing, thanks so much. Thanks also to Michelle (owner) for always replying to me very quickly and for going the extra mile to answer my future booking query.

What an amazing property to stay in. Ample parking, large front paved garden, ideal for dogs. Close to everything we needed, especially the beach and Peasholm Park, easy to walk to South Bay side of Scarborough from thid locarion. Ideal to listen to the live gigs happening at Open Air Theatre if you are unable to attend in person. Homeowner contactable if and when needed, also advised us before stay of gas main works happening on road and front of house so we were aware before arrival. Would highly recommend this property.
