Property code: OC-S878

A delightful, Georgian cottage, this unique hideaway is a great base from which to get out and about in North Yorkshire. Tucked away in the older part of town, it sleeps up to four guests and is suitable for a family break or two couples. Stroll 100 metres down to the harbour to watch the boats or book a trip out to see seals and dolphins, or walk 300 metres down to South Bay Beach, which is popular with families. Take the children to attractions such as the Sea Life aquarium and the Alpamare water park. Visit the castle, with its panoramic views along the Yorkshire coastline and undertake a 9-mile cliff-top walk from Scarborough to Ravenscar, following the Cleveland Way.

Step into the terraced cottage to find yourselves in a welcoming lounge, where you can light the wood burner on chilly evenings and settle down together in its cosy warmth to a night of viewing on the TV or via the DVD player. Take the steep, cottage-style stairs down to the lower ground floor to find the kitchen/diner, where you can whip up snacks and meals for your party then gather round the table together to enjoy them. Another flight of steep, cottage-style stairs, heading up from the lounge, leads to the first floor, where a twin bedroom and the family shower room are positioned. Venture up another level to a king-size bedroom on the second floor. This room has a TV and enjoys views towards the harbour and the sea.

French doors from the kitchen/diner open on to a courtyard garden, where you and your family or friends can bask in the sunshine and dine in the fresh air.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 twin and 1 king-size
  • 1 family shower room, with shower cubicle and WC

We have just spent our third, extremely enjoyable, annual holiday at Lighthouse cottage. It has been ideal for us coming to Scarborough to see the year's Ayckbourn play and explore Scarborough and nearby walks. Parking is a bit stressful and the approach to the cottage and, indeed, its own staircases, have become a bit of a struggle but those with Read moreknees younger than mine should have a wonderful time.

A wonderful cottage in a fantastic location! It felt very homely and had everything we needed. There is a sea view from every window, even when on the loo! We will definitely return.

We had a lovely time in Lighthouse cottage and in Scarborough. The cottage was so close to the sea front. Everything in Scarborough was walking distance, at least for us, the castle, the harbour, the beach, the Italian gardens, Peasholm Park, the shops. So many places for coffee and meals too. My 4 for comfort was that the single bed mattresses werRead moree uncomfortable and gave us both back ache by the end of the week. Also the stairs are a trial and though we coped they were something that reduced the comfort slightly. We suspected they would so used the twin room and our daughter had the top room. 4 for value was because if I'd booked two weeks later I'd have saved 100. 4 for booking is I just tend to look for the property where and when we want to go and for one I like rather than use of a particular catalogue. 5 for recommend OC. I don't recommend often. My family and friends have their own way of finding and booking their hols. And most could not afford to rent a cottage anyway Hide

Lighthouse cottage is ideally placed to explore all of Scarborough. 2 mins to the front and harbour, 10 mins to castle or town, 10/15 mins over the hill to North bay. Interior is nicely done, well equipped and cozy, with great views from the top bedroom. Over 4 floors so not for the less mobile, no parking but plenty nearby in winter.
