A superb recently renovated Georgian listed building in Scarborough’s charming old town. Awarded 4 stars by Quality in Tourism, the assessment service provided by VisitBritain.
There are great offers in June 2012.
Enjoy a relaxing holiday in a wonderful holiday home with sea views, luxury bathroom and stunning kitchen/conservatory. Plus a log burning stove if the
weather turns cooler. The house has three bedrooms and sleeps a maximum of 6 people. The main bedroom with king sized bed and sea views is on the first floor as is the luxury bathroom. There are two bedrooms on the second floor, both with good sea views. One of the bedrooms has beautiful art deco twin brass beds with a very stylish Conran shop light accessory. The other bedroom has two zip and link beds capable of being joined to make a double bed. The kitchen conservatory is spacious and full of light with wonderful sea views.
The house is located in the quaint old town of Scarborough close to where the original Scarborough Fair was held.
The house is an excellent base from which to enjoy all Scarborough has to offer. You can be on the nearby beach in minutes whilst Scarborough Castle is just up the road. Or enjoy an award winning ice cream at the famous Harbour Bar which is just around the corner. ASK is close by as is the Golden Grid fish restaurant. Two excellent cafes are nearby too: Cafe Heart close to the market and very close to the house is Cielo’s - highly recommended. Within easy walking distance is the wonderful Lanterna Italian restaurant for special occasions or Tuscany’s on St. Nicholas Street. Tuscany Two is well worth visiting and can be found on Filey Road in the Ramshill area of Scarborough (Tuscany’s and Tuscany Two are under different ownership so have different menus). You’ll have fun finding great places to eat - for example Eat Me on Hanover Road (tucked away behind the Stephen Joseph Theatre) and Mojos on Victoria Road are well worth a visit and give good value for money. Or Roasters is a local coffee shop chain with very knowledgeable staff and good coffee. In the village of Scalby (out on the Whitby Road) don't miss calling in at The Yew Tree Cafe - open daytime and some evenings during the warmer months. Heading up to Whitby don't miss Trenchers and the famous Magpie fish restaurant. For good coffee in Whitby try Java, next door to the famous Frank Sutcliffe photographic gallery. Going out on the Pickering Road try the award winning Cedar Barn for its cafe and farm shop. If you continue on to Pickering, fish and chips are good at Capplemans on the main street. More locally the Copper Horse at nearby Seamer does excellent food - look out for all the old theatrical posters, the owner's husband runs the biggest panto business in the world (we can hardly resist the temptation to say, oh no he doesn't). But maybe best of all for a real treat travel up to Grosmont and call in at the old school house coffee shop run by Bill and Emily. It's really good - see www.grosmontcoffeeshop.co.uk
Parking is on street and ‘scratch cards’ are provided which enable you to park without payment in any of the many nearby streets. Alternatively at the top of the hill is St. Mary’s church car park and there is normally plenty of parking there although there is a modest charge. Very occasionally parking isn’t available at the church if there is a wedding.
Parking on North Marine Drive is completely free during the off season months November to the end of March. This means you can enjoy going for a walk or having coffee, breakfast, lunch etc. at the recommended Watermark cafe, Blue Crush or Oasis without having to hurry back to your car. You can walk your dog on the beach during those months too. Breakfast at the Watermark cafe - it opens at 6am!!- is lovely and the location couldn't be much better.
Scarborough is a place of two halves and two bays - rocky South Bay and award-winning, sandy North Bay - Britain’s ‘original’ seaside resort is where traditional meets contemporary and where seaside kitsch meets Victorian genteel spa. Scarborough has so much to offer including the iconic Stephen Joseph Theatre where Alan Ayckbourn has spent such a large part of his working life and which is one of the pleasures of Scarborough. On alternate Fridays out of season the Scarborough Film Society (the first in the country) meet in the library in Vernon Street- you don't have to be a member to go and the films are wide ranging.
Why not book early for w/c 27/7/13? - it has recently been announced that The Queen Elizabeth has been specially scheduled to sail past Scarborough at 15:00 BST on 1 August 2013.
