Sleeping up to four guests, 1 Coastguard Cottages is perfect for family holidays, couples escapes and getaways with friends.
The Space: 1 Coastguard Cottages has been recently refurbished and features homely interiors throughout.
LIVING ROOM AND DINING AREA The property boasts a cosy and welcoming living room with two comfy sofas, an armchair and a flat screen TV, an ideal space to unwind after a busy day of exploring. Sharing the space is a dining area consisting of a wooden table with four comfortable dining chairs.

There are a number of beaches for you to choose from. The popular South Bay is a sun trap and close to the hustle and bustle of the town centre. North Bay has been accredited with Blue Flag status meaning it’s one of the best beaches in Europe! Cayton Bay is the quietest of the three and boasts a sweeping bay with a rural feel. Lastly Cornelian Bay is the remotest and hardest to get to but it’s a hidden gem and often empty.
Ideal for all weathers, there are lots of indoor attractions in Scarborough for the whole family. Head to Sea Life Sanctuary to see seals, penguins, sharks, turtles and more or Scarborough Castle to explore its 3000 year history. If it’s outdoor fun you’re looking for, The Open Air Theatre is a gentle 20 minute walk from the apartment where you can see amazing bands, singers and comedians.

Rustic Stay
The property was quaint, but hard to find. It has a lot of stairs to the bedrooms which can be hard for some that I didn't notice in the review.

Overall, lovely property.
The property was very nice, but the downstairs areas smelt quite musty / greasy cooking smells. The property was clean. It was a bit of a nightmare checking in, with a lady on the phone assuring me that details would be provided, but they were not. I had to make a further call to obtain the details. The front entrance to the property was a little difficult to find. The rear door (through which entry could not be gained) would benefit from a sign pointing guests round the row of terraces to the front door.

Perfect house!
Such a pretty and relaxing property. A great location for exploring Scarborough and the surrounding area. House was very well equipped and spotless. We were sad to leave 1 Coastguard Cottage.

Property is lovely, newly decorated, big enough for a family of 4, nice decor, great location
Lovely property, very clean and newly decorated, perfect for a family of 4, lovely large bathroom. Excellent location and views of Scarborough. Everything you could every need was provided, although would of liked full length mirrors in bedrooms, oh and a washing up bowl, so not end of the world! Parking was good for location, however I definitely wouldn't recommend this property for anyone with mobility issues, steep garden entrance to front of property, and steep stairs inside. I would definitely come back again, it was very nice
