Sea Front Hideaway

This second-floor apartment on Blenheim Terrace sits on the North Cliff top in Scarborough, where the building itself becomes secondary to what lies beyond the windows. The open-plan living space, centred on a corner sofa facing bay windows, exists mainly as a frame for the view across the bay. Wake in the bedroom to the same seascape; prepare a meal in the kitchen and eat it while looking out to sea. The essentials—heating, electricity, linen, towels and wifi—are covered, and a parking permit for one car comes with the let.

The kitchen is set up for cooking rather than eating out, with an electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. The shower room is compact but complete. One double bed and sleeping space for two; one pet stays free. The clifftop footpath leads down through tiered gardens to the beach itself, and the location puts Cayton Bay, Filey and the attractions along Scarborough's seafront within reach. No smoking indoors.
