Mrs Potter
October 2020

“Very nice well equipped accommodation”

- Mrs Potter, October 2020
Mr Towers October 2020

“We have stayed at Kittiwake several times now and it never disappoints with views from the lounge window of Scarborough castle and the sea at the North Bay.”

Since our last visit it has been re-decorated nicely and refurbished with the bath ahving been removed and replaced by a shower cabinet. Much of the furniture has been replaced and the reclining sofa was a big hit.

“2nd great visit!”

This was our 2nd year staying in Kittiwake and as ever it’s a fantastic apartment with wonderful views. There’s a dedicated car parking space on the front and it’s on the quiet North Bay within 5/10 minutes of Peasholm Park or the South Bay. There’s been a refit to the bathroom since our last visit but we were emailed to inform us that the bath is no longer there. New recliner settee in the lounge makes for comfortable evenings watching tv (WiFi is available so we took our Amazon firestick which worked great!). A very clean apartment with towels & bedding provided. We were emailed prior to departure regarding Covid precautions & contacted by the owner with key collection details. It’s a wonderful apartment with lots of amenities (dishwasher, hairdryer, cooking facilities etc) and there’s some lovely little touches like being provided with hand wash etc that make it a place we’ll definitely be going back to!

Mr Smith July 2020

“The view from the flat was great ideally situated very comfortable the changes since we were last there great”

- Mr Smith, July 2020
Mr Lavender July 2020

“Very comfy reclining sofa in lounge.”

Shower bit awkward to get out of as too near to toilet. Handy movable step provided, but it needed a handle support to assist alighting from shower. Very quiet position near bay and beach. Great to have parking.

- Mr Lavender, July 2020
Miss Sykes February 2020

“Great sea views from the lovely reclining sofa.”

Everything you needed in kitchen. Very comfy bed in main bedroom. Only downside was no radiator in second bedroom, just a convector heater which we dare not leave on overnight. But all in all a great place to stay.

- Miss Sykes, February 2020
Mrs Jones December 2019

“Yes you are still showing the property as having a bath when in fact it has been removed and replaced by a shower cubicle.”

- Mrs Jones, December 2019
Mrs Stephenson December 2019

“Staying at Kittiwake is wonderful, everything you need except a dvd in the lounge.”

The place is well maintained and thoroughly clean. It is the ideal place to relax and do very little which is what this break was all about.

- Mrs Stephenson, December 2019
AngelaG010 October 2019

“So comfy, clean, quiet and convenient!”

Husband and I stayed from Fri - Friday. Keys and parking instructions sent by email the week before. Car park has ample room and there’s a designated bay for the apartment. It’s such a cosy place and we loved it! The kitchen has a full size oven with a fridge, dishwasher and microwave, toaster & kettle. There’s lovely little touches like a small cupboard with bits like salt, pepper and sugar that we should buy for a week self catering but always seem to forget! The owners clearly love and take care of the apartment and it shows. They provide sheets, towels and things like washing up liquid, hand wash and a few toilet rolls. Comfortable lounge area and there’s no noise from the neighbours or nearby hotels. There’s 2 double beds, the main bedroom has en suite and there’s an exit out to the ground floor yard with a table and chairs. It’s got an amazing view of the North Bay within 10 minutes of the town centre and we can highly recommend the nearby Albert Pub for the Sunday Lunch! We both loved this apartment and will definitely be going back!

Mr Hearnshaw July 2019

“No”

- Mr Hearnshaw, July 2019
Mr Szczupak May 2019

“The washing machine is fairly new but has a fault in that it takes several attempts to select a programme and get the machine to work.”

The owner has put up a note to say it might be difficult, but we found this very frustrating. We had to use the washing machine to wash all the towels we used to mop up water after a major water leak into the flat.

- Mr Szczupak, May 2019
Mrs Potter April 2019

“As it was our fourth visit to the kittiwake.”

Parking is good. Ten minutes walk from the town and overlooking the sea. Ideal holiday destination action.

- Mrs Potter, April 2019
Mr Frost April 2019

“This flat was amazing so lovely clean with excellent views and location is super.”

The little courtyard gives a little extra chill time.

- Mr Frost, April 2019
Mrs Stephenson March 2019

“We had a wonderful holiday, the apartment was 5 star excellence with everything you could want.”

The apartment was fully equipped, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. I really don't want to leave a good review as Kittiwake will then be booked up and I won't be able to return, but I can't leave a bad review and there isn't anything detrimental to say about it.

- Mrs Stephenson, March 2019

- Mrs Singleton, December 2018

Mr Towers September 2018

“We have stayed at this flat three times now.”

It is clean, comfortable, well furnished and well looked after. It is a 10 minute walk from Scarborough town centre and the South Bay beach and about five minutes walk from the North Bay attractions and Peasholme Park. Whitby and Filey are within easy reach by bus or car. I would recommend it.

- Mr Towers, September 2018
Mr Smith July 2018

- Mr Smith, July 2018
Mrs Roberts July 2018

We wanted for nothing and the two pairs of binoculars provided were a HUGE hit with us being a stones throw from the sea!! Ship watching and lobster pot watching! - all from an open window and a comfy armchair!!

- Mrs Scott, June 2018
Ms Jeffery April 2018

“It's a great apartment in a lovely spot.”

Away from the bustle of the town but close enough to walk to anywhere you want to go. We recommend a walk p through Peasholm Glen to the lily pond.

- Ms Jeffery, April 2018
Mr Williams April 2018

The property

With stunning panoramic views overlooking the sea, headland and castle, this fabulous duplex apartment is in an enviable position in the popular coastal town of Scarborough.

Set over the ground and first floor in a converted former Victorian hotel, the property is perfectly placed for enjoying the many attractions of this vibrant resort, but within close proximity of the spectacular North York Moors National Park.

With upside down accommodation, entry is via a staircase up to a communal entrance into the modern apartment.

The open plan living area is comfortably furnished to a high standard, with a well-equipped, contemporary kitchen and a glass-topped dining table.

The large front window throws in plenty of light in this inviting room and enables guests to sit and watch the sweeping vistas of the ever-changing seas.

Stairs lead down to the two cosy bedrooms and bathroom, the double with a door leading onto the small, enclosed patio.

This lovely apartment benefits from private parking for one car, a rare find in this bustling seaside town and with all amenities at hand, you can leave your car safely and explore on foot.

Across the road, a path leads down to the promenade and the quieter beach of North Bay, but with a couple of excellent cafes in which to indulge in.

Enjoy the colourful gardens of Peasholm Park, with its boating lake, or walk along the promenade to South Bay, with its amusements, restaurants and pubs.

The castle ruins, perched high on the cliffs are worth a visit, whilst culture lovers will be impressed by the renowned Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round, which features excellent productions.

The beautiful surrounding countryside is well worth discovering, with its heather-clad moors, pretty villages and wonderful network of footpaths and trails for walkers.

Altogether, a superb base for a varied and relaxing holiday, at any time of the year.
