Sea View Cottage is a charming, cosy former fisherman’s home, perfectly positioned in the heart of Scarborough between the two bays. Dating back to the 1850s, it’s full of character and traditional charm. From the cottage, it’s just a ten-minute stroll to the award-winning sandy beaches and promenade, or to the lively town centre. The upstairs bedroom boasts spectacular sea views, reminding you just how close you are to the beautiful seafront. Recently refurbished, the cottage blends its original features with modern comforts, stylish décor, and thoughtful touches throughout. It’s an ideal base for couples and families exploring this stunning stretch of the Yorkshire Coast, and a wonderful haven for walkers and cyclists, with scenic cliff-top paths and cycle routes nearby. Inside, the accommodation includes an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with an electric fire, HD/Freeview TV with built-in DVD player, electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, slimline dishwasher, and a washing machine located in the outhouse. The bathroom offers both a walk-in electric shower and a bath with a mixer tap. The second-floor bedroom can be set up as either a super-king or twin beds to suit your needs. WiFi is also available. Scarborough has everything you need for a memorable holiday. Enjoy a family day out at the Sea Life Centre, hop aboard a pleasure cruise, speedboat, or fishing trip, or explore the historic Scarborough Castle just a few hundred yards away. The renowned open-air theatre — the largest in Europe — hosts fantastic events throughout the year. There’s plenty for all ages, from Alpamare’s indoor/outdoor waterpark to golf, fishing, indoor go-karting, bowling, cinemas, and more. A short drive brings you to the historic town of Whitby, where you can catch the North Yorkshire Moors steam train for a spectacular journey through the Esk Valley to Goathland and Pickering. Other nearby coastal gems such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Sandsend, Staithes, and Runswick Bay are also well worth visiting. You can even enjoy a day trip to York — a beautiful city filled with history, museums, excellent restaurants, and wonderful shopping opportunities

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The property was spotless, cosy and had everything needed for our mini break. We enjoyed staying at the quieter side of Scarborough and seeing things we never have before. The only criticism, was the mattresses were very uncomfortable, something easily rectified.

Thank you so much for your kind review—I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage cosy, clean, and well-equipped. It’s lovely to hear you discovered a quieter side of Scarborough too.
I really appreciate your feedback about the mattresses, and I’m sorry they weren’t as comfortable as they should have been. Thank you for letting me know—I’ll certainly look into this.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back again in the future.
The cottage was clean and tidy, well presented, homely atmosphere, good location near to town, welcome bottle of prosecco on arrival, which was a lovely touch.
