Parkside

Enjoy contemporary interiors, lovely views and all the home comforts in Scarborough’s North Bay. This spacious house is the perfect venue for a memorable get-together with friends or family. The handsome property overlooks the waterfall and boating lake of the oriental-themed Peasholm Park and is also within half a mile of North Bay Beach, one of Scarborough’s two sandy beaches. The town’s busy fishing harbour and marina is a hub of excitement whatever the weather, and the Rotunda Museum features local archaeology finds including fossils. For a great day out, visit the medieval ruins of Scarborough Castle, which has panoramic views over a dramatic coastline; unwind in the evening at one of the numerous bars and restaurants set along the seafront.

The contemporary-styled lounge has a large bay window overlooking the park, a cosy gas fire and an adjoining dining area. Cook together in the warmly decorated kitchen – there’s a handy additional fridge/freezer for storing extra food and drinks in the utility room. Find four bedrooms on the first floor: two doubles (one with an en-suite), a twin and a room with bunk beds, as well as a family bathroom. Two of the rooms have views of the park. The two single bedrooms are on the second floor, and one has an en-suite WC.
