Seaside escapes don’t have to feature draughty cottages with nautical decor – we love this chic apartment close to the centre of Scarborough. With elegant interiors and sleek white furniture, this apartment has glam city-centre appeal, with the added benefit of being oh-so-close to the beach. It takes just fourteen minutes to walk to Scarborough Beach, where if you’re anything like us you’ll be spending most of your time. Paddle in the shallows and build sandcastles until you start to feel hungry – will you plump for fish and chips or pick up some fresh crab sandwiches? Explore the Esplanade and walk along the clifftops, taking in the wonderful sea views. Back at the apartment, soak in the bathtub with a glass of wine. Refreshed and sand-free, you might whip up dinner in the small but perfectly formed kitchen. Spend the evening lounging together, chatting and making memories in front of the huge bay window. You’ll love every moment spent in this refined home-from-home. Home truths: *There’s a private parking space at this home *The twin beds in bedroom two can be merged together to create a super-king-size bed on request *Parties – including stag and hen events – cannot be held here
