  • "We spent a lovely week at Picadore, a much needed rest for us both."

    The apartment is perfectly placed just outside the main shopping area making it so convenient to pop to the shops. Martin (the owner) has worked hard made it very homely and comfortable and Picadore is very true to the online photos. The quality of the bed linens was excellent and we slept extremely well in the king size bed, it was very comfortable. The bathroom was also great and the kitchen had everything you needed. Cleanliness was excellent. Wifi was good too. We could have easily stayed for another week and we are hoping to return to Picadore in the near future. Would absolutely recommend to all.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay at Picadore. Thanks for your feedback and for leaving the property in such pristine condition. Your appreciation makes all the effort really worthwhile and I thank you for that too. I hope to see you again very soon, Martin Property Owner

  • "This was the best property we have ever stayed in when visiting Scarborough."

    The apartment was spotless and well-equipped with everything you could need. The bed was comfy, there was lots of space to relax. The only thing we might have found helpful was a guest handbook with what to do with rubbish, what to do at the end of our stay. However as the owner also owns the gallery below the property and he was around each day, we could pop in and ask him. Thank you for a lovely stay!

    Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it very much. I have taken on your point about having a guest handbook, and will try and have one in place for your next visit. Martin Property Owner

  • "Brilliant central apartment in Scarborough, located on the North Bay but close to the town centre and South Bay."

    Spotlessly clean apartment with modern furnishing. I really enjoyed the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom to play things from my phone whilst getting ready. The bed is very comfortable. Strong hot water and heating systems which was very welcome on colder days and evenings. Full kitchen for cooking if you want to eat in the apartment. Great for dogs, a lovely bean bag style bed provided for them to relax and sleep. The owner is very kind and understanding and great to deal with. Easy Check-in and check-out.

    Thanks for your feedback Marc. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Martin Property Owner

    It's a lovely apartment, very nicely decorated and had everything we needed. An added bonus is the coffee shop that has opened in part of the printers below. I really enjoyed the cups of coffee I had there, admired the prints on the wall and had one of my own pictures printed at a very reasonable price. All in all I couldn't fault anything.

    Perfectly located for North Bay walking and easy access to the South Bay including restaurants, bars and shops. The flat is warm, cosy and pretty much a home from home.

Felt very safe and at night was lovely and quiet. Bonus is free on street parking outside the flat. Martin was on hand if needed and made himself readily available. Martin even rang us to let us know about the dolphin spotting opportunity, a very thoughtful host. Will defo be returning soon we hope. Thanks Martin and Sykes cottages

  • "Thank you, once again, a successful holiday cottage sourced through Sykes."

    We appreciate the easy to use search facility on your website. The search term combinations mean that we can search for a particular week and number of people and pet AND find somewhere that is close to the coast and within our price range. We've found that other sites are not as easy to use. We're not so keen on the pop-up 'someone just booked in Durham' messages though - unnecessary and annoying. Worst of all - it can end up covering up your own search results - maybe get rid of that before it starts to put people off!

The property

This superb, second floor apartment is set above the owner's picture gallery in the heart of the popular seaside town of Scarborough.

With all amenities on the doorstep, it is the perfect base for couples and small families to enjoy a wonderful holiday by the sea.

Although on the second floor, access is via the narrow side lane and just up one flight of private stairs into the apartment.

The bright and spacious open plan living area feels warm and welcoming, with sunshine streaming in through the wide windows and a large comfortable corner sofa to sink into and relax in the evening.

With a contemporary streamlined kitchen and a dining table in the window, this lovely room can't fail to please.

The king-size bedroom is to the rear of the apartment and has the benefit of an additional day bed and a Jack-and-Jill wet room, a very individual and opulent shower room, with Bluetooth speakers set into the mirror.

With tasteful and quality furnishings throughout including oak flooring and Egyptian cotton bed linens, guests are assured of every comfort here.

Step outside the apartment and you have pubs, shops and restaurants all at hand, with an excellent Chinese and Italian just a couple of minutes’ walk, or stroll along the road to visit the castle ruins, perched high on the cliff top.

Walk down to the seafront and small harbour, where there are golden sands, donkey rides and traditional seafood stalls, with cafés, fish and chips and candy floss to enjoy!

The choice of attractions in the immediate area is enviable, including the open air theatre in Peasholm Park, Scarborough Cricket Ground, the renowned Stephen Joseph Theatre in the Round, the Sealife Centre at Northbay and art galleries and museums.

If you can tear yourselves away from the town, the surrounding countryside of the North York Moors has miles of scenic cycle routes and a wonderful network of public footpaths that take you through spectacular scenery and moorland.

With all this at your fingertips, Picadore provides a luxurious base for a brilliant holiday.
