Mayville House

Plan a self-catering holiday or weekend at Mayville House in this top Yorkshire seaside resort, and enjoy the added bonus of being within easy reach of the /north Yorkshire Moors. The Yorkshire Moors and countryside around Scarborough are a haven for walkers while the coastline either side of Scarborough has many picturesque and working fishing villages and little seaside resorts including Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby and Flamborough Head. You might even catch some action at one of the many coastal villages watching a lifeboat launch.

Scarborough is a very traditional holiday seaside town but with much more than just the usual beach amusements and souvenir shops. There are 3 theatres including the Stephen Joseph Theatre, where the great playwright Alan Ayckbourn premiers all his plays - an open-air theatre in the gardens of Peasholm Park, and the Spa Theatre with its summer season run of variety shows.

Check out the myriad of seabirds in Estingon the lofty cliffs of North Bay and the magnificent castle above them. Mayville House Holiday Cottage is just 2-minutes-walk from the centre of the town with many pubs, restaurants and cafes, and shops for some retail therapy. A short walk through the old town brings you to the wide expansive beach. The dog-friendly Holiday Cottage itself, so suitable for an extended family booking or a large friends' re-union, is an Edwardian town house, with original fireplaces, high ceilings and imposing bay windows among the many preserved features, while providing the necessary up-to-date facilities, even a Jacuzzi bath.

There's plenty of comfortable space in this Scarborough Holiday House for 12 guests with a large sitting-room, a separate dining-room and a breakfast area in the kitchen.
