Experience all of this at 5 Westwood Road.
The bustling coastal town of Scarborough, which has been a favourite since the Victorian era, still has many of the original excellent structures, parks, and gardens, as well as its iconic castle that towers over the community. Two outstanding sections of lovely, golden sand beaches in North Bay and South Bay are very well-liked by families with young children. Numerous family-friendly activities are available, as well as several top-notch tourist attractions for adults, such as the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa, and the Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music.

With six adults, a baby and a dog we needed a sizeable house and this fit the bill. Great communication with the owners both before and during our stay. Should we holiday in the area again then we'd have no hesitation in booking this house again.

The owners have beautifully furnished the property and is a relaxing place to come back to when returning from days out in and around Scarborough. Plenty of places to visit only a short drive away. Situated not far from the beach (15 minute walk) with a local shop just across the road. Bigger supermarkets just a short drive away (Tesco 5 minute drive). Would definitely recommend this holiday home having everything you could ever wish for. Thanks again to our hosts for a fabulous holiday.
