Why Scarborough is Perfect for a Hot Tub Break
A hot tub holiday in Scarborough offers the perfect blend of nostalgic seaside fun and private, modern luxury. It's a town of two halves, from the lively South Bay with its classic amusement arcades and donkey rides, to the more tranquil North Bay with its scenic gardens and colourful beach huts.
After a day building sandcastles, walking the dramatic cliff paths, or enjoying fresh fish and chips on the harbour, there's no better feeling than returning to your own private retreat and sinking into the warm, bubbling waters of a hot tub.
Romantic Coastal Breaks
With its stunning sea views, historic harbour, and dramatic castle headland, Scarborough provides a beautiful backdrop for a romantic getaway. Enjoy a sunset stroll along the beach, find a cosy spot for a seafood dinner, and then retreat to the privacy of your own hot tub to watch the stars come out over the North Sea.
Dog-Friendly Adventures
Scarborough is a brilliant destination for a coastal adventure with your dog. Many of our properties here welcome four-legged friends, providing a comfortable base for you both. You'll find dog-friendly beaches for a good run, and you're right on the doorstep of the Cleveland Way National Trail for spectacular cliff-top walks.
Classic Family Fun
As Britain's first seaside resort, Scarborough knows how to deliver a fantastic family holiday. The sandy beaches of both bays are perfect for days spent by the sea, while the town is packed with family-friendly attractions, from the SEA LIFE Sanctuary to the thrill of the amusement arcades in the South Bay.
Large Group Getaways
Planning a special celebration or a big family reunion? Our Scarborough collection features some incredible large properties that are perfect for hosting a memorable get-together. With impressive houses like 'Seacrest Lodge' and 'Yardley Manor', which both sleep 20 guests, you can bring everyone together under one roof, with the added luxury of a hot tub for ultimate relaxation.
