Wellington Place

Wellington Place suits families and small groups wanting a proper base rather than a cramped holiday flat. The townhouse has two bedrooms—a king on the first floor, two singles above—sharing one bathroom. A living room with woodburner and separate dining room give you space to spread out, while the kitchen is compact but equipped for real cooking: gas oven, electric hob, dishwasher, washing machine. One dog stays free of charge. You're on Castle Road, between North Bay and South Bay, each roughly ten minutes' walk away.

The immediate neighbourhood has the Granby Hotel within a mile and a pub close by. Scarborough's two bays pull in different crowds—North Bay is quieter, South Bay has the traditional amusements. The seafront runs the length of both. Beyond the beaches, there's a waterpark, a bird sanctuary at Bempton Cliffs where puffins migrate through, and direct train connections to York. Parking is on-street for one car, with additional public car parks available locally. No smoking indoors. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included.
