Guests consistently highlight the peaceful location, easy access to the beach and town, and the spacious, comfortable layout.

The property stands out as a top choice for families and couples seeking a relaxing and convenient stay on the Yorkshire coast.

This was our second visit to the Haven but our 27th holiday in Scarborough!!The Haven is ideally located - for us- just off the Esplanade. We are able to leave the car and walk down to the Spa and south bay or into town quite easily. We also are able to walk along Marine drive to the North Bay and peasholm park. The Haven is very well equipped with everything you may need for a relaxing holiday and it is presented to an excellent standard - although my hubby would like some pint glasses for his beer ! We will definitely be back for a 3rd visit !

The accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped but was let down by the ensuite toilet being broken ( despite being reported by the previous guest) and the bath panel having fallen off making the bath very difficult to use.

The Haven was the perfect place for our family of four to stay whilst exploring Scarborough. The flat is spacious, modern, clean, and comfortable. We even managed to stay cool during the hottest weekend of the year! Parking was easy to find on the street, although we didn't use the car once as it's les than 15mins walk to the beach and centre. The small park in front is a peaceful haven itself and our kids loved playing ping pong with the set provided in the flat. We would thoroughly recommend The Haven to everyone and wouldn't hesitate to book it again for our next trip back to Scarborough.
