Treat your loved ones to a traditional Yorkshire break at this charming cottage in the heart of Scarborough. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and welcoming one canine companion, it's perfect for families or groups of friends who are searching for a coastal base to call home while they explore the Yorkshire coastline with their pup in tow. Spend early mornings at the far northern end of North Bay, the stretch that stays open to pups all year round, and then set off for walkies along the Cleveland Way as it climbs out of town. Alternatively, wander up to the headland and the ruins of Scarborough Castle to enjoy the spectacular views over Scarborough's two bays at once. In the evening, come home to pour yourself a drink of something cool and crisp in the patio courtyard and relax while your pup settles at your feet.
Step inside and you'll find a home with bright, airy spaces and contemporary finishes throughout. Rustle up some dinner in the sleek and stylish kitchen and then gather around the table in the spacious dining room – a lovely space that's bathed in natural light from the large bay window – to share a relaxed meal. Alternatively, slip out into the boho-chic patio courtyard to dine al fresco at the bistro table. Afterwards, sit back on the outdoor bench to stargaze, or head back to the lounge to sink into a plush sofa to relax in front of the Smart TV while your pup snoozes happily at your feet. At the end of the day, you'll find two elegant bedrooms upstairs - a double and a twin. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.
Watch your pup's tail wag at the far northern end of North Bay (1 mile), a designated dog-walking zone that stays open all year round, while the main central beach closes to pups between 1 May and 30 September. Or head south to Cayton Bay (4 miles), where there are no seasonal restrictions at all. Further afield, you'll be rewarded with fabulous views when you follow the trails through Raincliffe Woods (3 miles) that climb up above Forge Valley.
