Make the great escape to this charming coastal lodge set in the postcard-pretty village of Scalby, fringing the archetypal seaside resort of Scarborough.

Elegantly styled throughout, there's no need to tussle for the best room here. Upstairs, each bedroom feels as luxurious as the next, with quiet desk nooks for those planning to work or study during their stay. 

But this home really comes into its own in the vast living spaces back downstairs. You can expect to do some entertaining here with two dining areas to choose from. Lay the table for glamorous suppers and games nights in the dedicated dining room. Keep things casual with lazy brunches (mimosa, anyone?) in the light-filled sunroom with the garden doors open wide. Or take things outside to savour morning coffees on the furnished garden terrace fringed by manicured lawns – the village newsagents is just a stroll away to pick up the papers.

When the sea finally lures you, Scarborough's four sandy bays are just a two-and-a-half mile drive away for bucket and spade days. Our vote goes to North Bay, with its golden sandy shores and chalet-lined promenade – it's just like you imagined. And there's always lashings of fish and chips and ice creams when tummies rumble. Or swing by Scalby's gastro pub within stumbling distance of your home – you'll be sure of a warm welcome.

Stay just a six-minute stroll away from South Bay Beach and an array of seaside culinary treats along the waterfront. Think fish and chips, cotton candy and ice cream stands galore. We can hear the seagulls cry already. With such close proximity to the town centre of Scarborough from this home, you'll have plenty of other dining options, plus high street shopping to discover – set back from the busy beachfront too. 

Fresh and simple interiors inside the flat present a contemporary space to base yourself in between excursions and beach days. You'll find ample space to kick back for moments of relaxation. And best of all, the building boasts a rooftop terrace with gorgeous sea views. So take a picnic up to the seating area and lap up the seaside ambience more secludedly while plotting your next day's trip around North Yorkshire. Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay and Filey are all within an hour's drive away from here.
