Heated Towel Rail

Located in the heart of the popular seaside town of Scarborough on the scenic North Yorkshire coast, this pretty two bedroom apartment is ideal for an escape to the seaside for friends, families, or a romantic couple's retreat.

Wander over to this apartment's huge bay window and look to your right — from here, it's possible to see the North Sea, which sits at the end of your street. As well as offering a nautical view while you eat your breakfast, this architectural feature means that the living space is gifted with bountiful amounts of natural light.

Given the elegant simplicity of the interior, this illumination is definitely a good thing. The combination of a muted grey colour palette and wood surfaces feels effortlessly modern, while there are a couple of stylish additions to stop it from feeling too anonymous — we like the hanging spider-esque light feature and glass lamps, for instance.

All of Scarborough's main attractions sit nearby, from the Italian Gardens six minutes' walk away to the town's beach which takes around double that time to reach. Further afield, the sprawling North Riding Forest Park takes just over ten minutes to get to in the car and offers plenty of awe-inspiring vantage points.

The open-plan living space is ideal for spending quality time with your partner. Cook up a delicious meal in the kitchen as you chat over a glass of wine, and serve up your culinary creations at the modern dining table beside the bay window. Afterwards, enjoy a fresh cup of coffee on the chic blue velvet sofa as you make some plans for the following day – there are plenty of options to choose from. 

The seafront is only a ten-minute walk away, and you'll love wandering along the promenade and breathing in the salty air. Picture-perfect Scarborough Harbour is fifteen minutes away on foot, and you can even take a dip in the water at neighbouring South Bay Beach. It would be easy to spend all your time in this charming town, but if you're feeling active then lace up your walking boots and hit the trails in the North York Moors National Park – it's just a ten-minute drive away.

If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied here.

Blissful Seaside Retreat

Perched just a two-minute walk from Scarborough’s South Cliff and set in a historic hall dating back to 1729, this pristine apartment makes quite the first impression. Regarded as one of Scarborough’s most elegant period buildings, you can see why this home built by the Reverend William Smith has a worthy spot on the English Heritage Register. 

Inside, while the lofty ceilings and traditional sash windows remain, everywhere else has been reimagined for modern living. That light-filled living space with dual aspect, mullioned windows revealing stunning scenes of the St. Martins vicarage caught our eye the most. It's a view best enjoyed curled up on the sofas with a glass of something crisp. And while the interiors verge more towards the classic than contemporary, everywhere is immaculately maintained, so you can drop off your bags and hit the town the running here. 

Get off to a flying start at the Esplanade with its Italian Gardens and, of course, the Spa Leisure Complex. Feeling peckish?

Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay and Filey are all within an hour's drive away from here. 





At the Seaside 

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.

Seaside escapes don’t have to feature draughty cottages with nautical decor – we love this chic apartment close to the centre of Scarborough. With elegant interiors and sleek white furniture, this apartment has glam city-centre appeal, with the added benefit of being oh-so-close to the beach. 
 
It takes just fourteen minutes to walk to Scarborough Beach, where if you’re anything like us you’ll be spending most of your time. Paddle in the shallows and build sandcastles until you start to feel hungry – will you plump for fish and chips or pick up some fresh crab sandwiches? Explore the Esplanade and walk along the clifftops, taking in the wonderful sea views. 

Back at the apartment, soak in the bathtub with a glass of wine. Refreshed and sand-free, you might whip up dinner in the small but perfectly formed kitchen.

Ice Cream Smiles

Welcome Hamper

Located on the seafront in Scarborough, just a nine-minute walk from North Bay Beach, this romantic apartment offers unparalleled views of the rolling waves and Scarborough Castle in the distance.

Factor in the comfortable bed and the tub that invites long, relaxing soaks after an afternoon of sightseeing, and you’re all set for a superb seaside break.

With countless shops, tearooms, fish and chip shops, restaurants and pubs to discover within walking distance as well, there’s plenty of entertainment within easy reach. 


Loved Up

With its dune-backed beaches, charming fishing harbour and idyllic position on the Northumberland Coast, Seahouses makes a brilliant base for a seaside getaway. This apartment puts you within striking distance of all it offers. Back home, you'll find a cosy living area ideal for winding down after a day in the sun. It's not the roomiest layout, but we think it'll work well for a couple – and the private parking is a nice perk. The only downsides are the car park views and lack of outside space. But, as the beach is a short stroll away, we don't think you'll mind too much.

Pastel Pearl

Netflix

Private Washing Machine

With cheerful pops of yellow dotted all around this home, you’ll likely wake up with a smile every morning, but the colour palette won’t be the only source of happiness. Only minutes away from South Bay, North Bay, and Cayton Bay, you’ll have access to some of the most beautiful beaches. Spend sun-drenched days in the sand, reading, eating more ice cream than you imagined you would, and dipping a toe in the water every now and again. 

Before heading out though, start your morning by making coffee in the generous kitchen, which you can then go on to enjoy with a side of fresh air as you sit out on the deck. Eat breakfast here or at the beautiful bench-style dining table just inside. When you’re back from a day at the beach, pour a glass of wine and curl up on the sofa with a good book, or spend evenings snuggled together as you watch a movie with a good helping of snacks. 

When you’re not at the beach, you can visit Scarborough Castle, the Scarborough Workhouse, or, if your idea of fun is a jump scare, Terror Tower. After dark, head out onto the deck to get a glimpse of the beautiful nights sky.

The enclosed patio provides private access to the award-winning Glen Gardens, a pretty park where you can enjoy a morning stroll. If you want to venture further afield, enjoy a walk along the huge stretches of sand and cliff at Filey Brigg – don't forget to stop off at one of the Old Town’s traditional tea rooms or pubs along the way. After a day of exploring, gather the family around the eight-seater wooden dining table for a hearty home-cooked meal, before retiring to the comfort of the adjoining living area and its sofa, armchair and two loungers (which are perfect for curling up in front of the smart TV, if you ask us). There's also a separate lounge, offering a cosy spot for a cuppa next to the wood-burning stove. Come rain or shine, this is a wonderful seaside getaway. 

Sweeping Sands

Private Parking

Fit for a family on a getaway to the sea, this charming apartment in Filey has everything you'll need. We love the sleek grey kitchen and the sumptuous L-shaped sofa, in particular. Spend lazy days playing board games and watching films on the smart TV, savouring a cup of hot cocoa or a steaming coffee from the Nespresso machine when you need a pick-me-up. Both bedrooms are comfortable and ooze coastal charm, while the bathrooms are glossy and stylish, complete with rainfall showers. But our favourite bit of all is the excellent location. You're only a five-minute walk away from Filey Beach, so pack a towel, grab an ice cream and while away afternoons on the sand. If you're in the mood for a walk, the Cleveland Way starts here – lace up your shoes and trek along the coastal path. And there's no better way to end the evening than with a pint and a delicious meal at one of the many pubs in town – most of which are within walking distance.

To Be The Sand

Access to Beach

Perfectly positioned, just metres from soft pale sand, with sweeping views of the turquoise harbour, this modern apartment is an idyllic spot in the heart of Newquay. In the living space, a neutral colour scheme is lifted by eyecatching art prints but it’s the views of the glittering sea that steal the limelight. Begin your morning on your private balcony, watching the gulls claw the air and the tide crawl in as your clan sets the table ready for a hearty breakfast. Then slap on the sun cream and make haste to the famous Fistral Beach, only ten minutes by foot from your building. After catching a wave or digging around in rock pools, head inland to traditional pubs for Sunday roasts and Bloody Marys. Return home to watch the sunset from your enviable vantage point before falling into bed, exhausted and satisfied at the end of another sublime day on the Cornish coast.

Set in one of the most beautiful parts of Yorkshire, this formerly derelict barn was chanced across by its owners in 2015, and lovingly converted into the stunning home it is today. The vibe is English country, with real moments of grandeur. With antlers on the walls, fine china ornaments, touches of tartan, and a solid teak dining table that wouldn’t look out of place in a stately home, it’s the kind of place you can imagine a hunting party coming back to after a day out on the moors. The grand feel continues in the bedrooms, each of which is as luxurious as the last but has its own unique design. We can see ourselves spending windswept days walking the hills of God’s Own Country before returning to pre-dinner drinks by the fire in the snug (the original stone floor is particularly gorgeous). Once the kids are set up with a movie in the second living room, a candlelit meal around the dining table beckons, followed by a session in the wood-fired hot tub.    

Yorkshire Homestead

Sleek and contemporary, this coastal apartment is an ideal seaside retreat for two. Not only is the location excellent – right in the heart of Filey, only a five-minute walk from the beach – but the mod-cons are pretty great, too. There's a luxe rainfall shower in the bathroom, a Nespresso machine for morning cups of coffee, two smart TVs and even a tablet for browsing the web. Everything you'll need is taken care of, so all you have to do is sit back and relax. The grey colour scheme is slick and modern, especially in the kitchen – with plenty of counter space, appliances and crockery, cooking is anything but a chore. But when you don't fancy whipping up something, there's a great collection of restaurants, pubs and cafes on your doorstep, plus plenty of shops, boutiques and activities to keep you entertained. Enjoy a morning stroll along the statue-lined promenade or grab a towel and sprawl out on the huge stretch of sand at Filey Beach.  But if you prefer a more active holiday, Filey is at the start (or end) of the Clevland Way, which promises fresh air, coastal trails and beautiful views of the ocean.

To Be The Sea

This seaside retreat is sunny in more ways than one. Not only do the big windows let in loads of natural light, but the yellow colour scheme is positively cheery. Otherwise, this apartment is slick and modern – think glossy grey kitchen, luxe rainfall showers and contemporary furniture. It's the perfect base for a family or friends on a trip to the coast, and it comes with everything you'll need for a relaxing getaway – from smart TVs and a small collection of board games to plenty of cookware and even a tablet for browsing the web. You'll love socialising in the open-plan living area, rustling up meals in the kitchen, sharing bottles of wine around the table and lounging on the cushy sofa. But most of all, you'll love the location. Filey Beach is just a five-minute walk away, so grab a towel and stretch out on the sand. You're surrounded by charming cafes, traditional pubs and local eateries, with plenty of shopping and dining options within easy reach. Walkers will enjoy being at the start of the Cleveland Way, while kids can search for creatures and fossils in the rockpools and dip their feet in the paddling pool along the promenade.

Discover all the charms of Yorkshire’s Filey – a traditional seaside town as quintessentially British as it gets – with a stay at this bright, modern apartment just a five-minute stroll from the sweeping, sandy bay. Immaculately presented throughout and with two separate bathrooms, the property is ideally suited for friends or family coming together. You’ll love the sociable open-plan living space and modern kitchen made for action. After days at the beach, come together around the dining table for a meal then crash out in the cosy lounge area with a glass of something chilled. Located right in the heart of Filey, it’s hard to imagine a better location. Kids (and big kids) will love the traditional seaside feel here with a charming prom to stroll along, ice cream parlours aplenty, and donkey rides on the gently sloping sands of the beach for a dose of seaside nostalgia. When tummies start to rumble, there’s plenty of traditional pubs, bustling restaurants and cafes, and obligatory fish and chip shops within walking distance. And when it’s time to burn off all that grub, don your walking shoes and enjoy a bracing walk along the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast for a spot of spectacular bird watching – over 200,000 birds, from puffins to gannets, take to the ledges of the Bempton white chalk cliffs each year. It’s worth the hike.
