If you don't have time for a full weeks holiday, enjoy a short break at one of our beautiful cottages.
Enjoy bracing sea side walks, cosy pubs and restaurants, quiet fishing villages or enjoy lazy days in front of a roaring log fire and simply relax and unwind.
Our self catering holiday cottages in Scarborough offer the perfect setting for a family holiday or short break with friends. Scalby Lodge is an ideal location for a holiday at any time of the year.
Cottages are available which feature a welcoming wood-burning stove and in most cases under floor heating.
The adjacent Scalby pond boasts a private hide which bird watching guests are welcome to use.
Whether you are planning the ultimate family get-together, a special occasion or a holiday away with friends; book one or more cottages to accommodate the whole party.
