Eschewing the usual white and blue tones of a coastal escape, this contemporary studio apartment is a funky blend of colour, patterns and texture. We particularly loved the burnt orange velvet sofa and the statement geometric rug in the living space. After a restful sleep in the comfortable bed, sit down to a cooked breakfast and a mug of tea before planning your day’s itinerary. Begin with a gentle stroll around the peaceful Peasholm Park, just ten minutes from your doorstep. If the sun is shining, make haste to Scarborough Beach, reached in fifteen minutes by foot, for a dip in the North Sea and an ice cream on the promenade. Peruse the Scarborough Art Gallery, watch the boats to and fro from the harbour, and finish the afternoon with a platter of fish and chips in a revered restaurant in the heart of town. Home truths: *The keys to the property are accessed via a secure key safe *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *If you’re travelling by train, Scarborough station is a ten-minute walk from the home
