Both of Scarborough’s beaches can be reached in less than 10 minutes. Just a short stroll away is the castle on the headland, which has panoramic views over the coastline. This ancient ruin has been defending the town for centuries, yet has never been defeated. Admire the oriental gardens with their boating lake, the open-air theatre, as well as the multi-million pound water park and wellness spa, Alpamare, which is complete with a glass-fronted sauna with sea views, all just a short stroll away. There are some wonderful attractions to explore along this coastline, and this apartment is the perfect base, as you are centrally located in Scarborough. The North Bay is the most peaceful of the two bays in Scarborough, stretching from the castle to the Sea Life Centre, where you can see rescued seals being rehabilitated as well as tanks filled with fish from around the world. The South Bay is a traditional seaside resort with donkey rides, amusements, the pier, plenty of good restaurants and bars as well as the traditional fish and chip shops. Parts of both beaches are dog friendly and most pubs and a lot of cafés here welcome dogs, there are also some fabulous walking trails to explore, such as the Cleveland Way along the coast, or the Cinder Track, as well as the nearby North York Moors National Park which has moorland and forests laced with walking trails.

The coastal destinations of Filey, Flamborough Head and Bridlington are to the south and to the north is the resort of Whitby and quaint Robin Hood’s Bay. The rspb bird sanctuary at Bempton is a short drive where you can watch the comical puffins perched on the cliffs. The medieval city of York is an hour away or there is a direct train from Scarborough. If you prefer to drive, there is a park and ride facility once you reach the city. York is often voted in the top ten cities to visit in the UK, with its impressive cathedral and cobbled medieval streets. Beach ½ mile.

    The Bolt hole is within 10 minutes of seafront and town centre. Host telephoned us on arrival to state toilet not bolted to floor so be careful when using not ideal. Would have been helpful to have a welcome/information pack for appliance use within the flat. Settee very low to ground and looked like new laminate flooring had been fitted but unfortunately had large gaps which caused trip hazards, rugs had been laid over largest gaps. The off road parking is a no man’s alley for storage of refuse bins and very difficult to manoeuvre
