Scarborough has attractions for all tastes and ages, from the fantastic historic castle and tranquil coastal walks to amusement arcades, pleasure steamers and a miniature railway.

We loved staying at this characterful, comfy Victorian house with views across South Beach. The area was quiet and close to walks around the castle headland. The nearby indoor market proved a great place to buy vegetables, eggs, meat and baked goods, but also has a cafe, cobblers and craft stalls. We travelled by train and went on trips to Whitby aRead morend Pickering catching buses from near the station. Hide

A very well appointed property with some internal quirky ornaments. A nice location, so long as you dont mind steep hills and steps, however the climb from the harbour to the top floor of the house was worth it for the views. Parking was never an issue with permits provided for both cars in our booking.
