About this property

This ground floor apartment is less than a 10-minute walk away from the beach.

This ground floor apartment is in a Victorian town house on north Marine Road and boasts classic high ceilings and bay windows, typical of period properties of this era. Well furnished throughout, you are ensured of a welcoming base to return to after a day of exploring. The front entrance opens into a communal hallway leading to your apartment door. Stepping inside, the living/dining room has a dining table for four as well as a sofa in front of the TV. The galley kitchen branches off from the living area, and is well equipped with everything you could need for a self catering stay. Here you can create your favourite meals to share, or perhaps have a take away – a trip to the coast is not complete without traditional fish and chips! In the evening you can retire to the spacious bedroom with its kingsize bed and en-suite shower. There is a separate toilet accessed off the kitchen.

Both of Scarborough’s beaches can be reached in less than 10 minutes. Just a short stroll away is the castle on the headland, which has panoramic views over the coastline. This ancient ruin has been defending the town for centuries, yet has never been defeated. Admire the oriental gardens with their boating lake, the open-air theatre, as well as the multi-million pound water park and wellness spa, Alpamare, which is complete with a glass-fronted sauna with sea views, all just a short stroll away. There are some wonderful attractions to explore along this coastline, and this apartment is the perfect base, as you are centrally located in Scarborough. The North Bay is the most peaceful of the two bays in Scarborough, stretching from the castle to the Sea Life Centre, where you can see rescued seals being rehabilitated as well as tanks filled with fish from around the world. The South Bay is a traditional seaside resort with donkey rides, amusements, the pier, plenty of good restaurants and bars as well as the traditional fish and chip shops. Parts of both beaches are dog friendly and most pubs and a lot of cafés here welcome dogs, there are also some fabulous walking trails to explore, such as the Cleveland Way along the coast, or the Cinder Track, as well as the nearby North York Moors National Park which has moorland and forests laced with walking trails.

The coastal destinations of Filey, Flamborough Head and Bridlington are to the south and to the north is the resort of Whitby and quaint Robin Hood’s Bay. The RSPB bird sanctuary at Bempton is a short drive where you can watch the comical puffins perched on the cliffs. The medieval city of York is an hour away or there is a direct train from Scarborough. If you prefer to drive, there is a park and ride facility once you reach the city. York is often voted in the top ten cities to visit in the UK, with its impressive cathedral and cobbled medieval streets. Beach ½ mile.

Very convenient location

The Bolt Hole is a roomy and well equipped flat centrally located with an array of restaurants and takeaway options within easy walking distance. The large bedroom has a very comfy king size bed and en-suite shower. We would recommend it as a decent dog friendly budget accommodation.

Superb Accommodation

Beautifully refurbished apartment in an extremely convenient location between both beaches and close to town. The owner was very helpful and obliging both prior to and during our stay. We stayed here for 4nights with our dog and 8 & 10year old children who shared the sofa bed (although this would not be an ideal size for two adults to share). We had a great break away and would highly recommend both the accommodation and location

Unfortunately, the property fell significantly below acceptable standards, and we were unable to stay due to cleanliness, safety, and maintenance concerns.Upon arrival, we were immediately met with an unpleasant smell throughout the entrance to the flat. As we inspected the property further, several issues became apparent:- The flooring was damaged, with visible splits in the flooring- The rug contained noticeable stains.- The sofa, intended for my daughter to sleep on, had multiple stains and was dirty, not fit for anyone to sleep on- Surfaces were not properly cleaned, including a sticky ring left on the bathroom surface.- - The bed had a hair in it and visible staining.- There was a visible stain in the toilet, which was extremely concerning from a hygiene perspective.- The bathroom door was missing so no privacy when in bathroom- The door was under the bed sticking outIn addition to the cleanliness issues, we were informed of several maintenance problems that posed both inconvenience and safety risks. We were advised not to use the dishwasher as it could flood the flat, and that the back door may not be usable due to a broken key left by a previous guest. This meant we wouldnt be able to access the back garden from the flat.The parking that is mentioned is down an alleyway way between bins and rubbleThe hosts were unwilling to give me a refund and were happy that the accommodation is suitable which couldn't be further from the truth
