To Be The Waves in Scarborough, North Yorkshire

To Be The Waves Self-Catering

This seaside retreat is sunny in more ways than one. Not only do the big windows let in loads of natural light, but the yellow colour scheme is positively cheery. Otherwise, this apartment is slick and modern – think glossy grey kitchen, luxe rainfall showers and contemporary furniture. It's the perfect base for a family or friends on a trip to the coast, and it comes with everything you'll need for a relaxing getaway – from smart TVs and a small collection of board games to plenty of cookware and even a tablet for browsing the web. You'll love socialising in the open-plan living area, rustling up meals in the kitchen, sharing bottles of wine around the table and lounging on the cushy sofa. But most of all, you'll love the location. Filey Beach is just a five-minute walk away, so grab a towel and stretch out on the sand. You're surrounded by charming cafes, traditional pubs and local eateries, with plenty of shopping and dining options within easy reach. Walkers will enjoy being at the start of the Cleveland Way, while kids can search for creatures and fossils in the rockpools and dip their feet in the paddling pool along the promenade.
