Ocean Spray is within walking distance of both the beach and the bustling heart of Scarborough in North Yorkshire. It boasts a great location and offers guests well-presented accommodation, which has been finished to a high standard and is suited to a family holiday or small gathering of family and friends. Coming into the property, you are greeted by a warm and welcoming sitting room, which comes complete with a woodburning stove and a Smart TV, providing the perfect spot for coming together to chill out and relax. Step into the kitchen/diner and the designated chef will be pleased with the selection of amenities, everything required to produce hearty food for the holiday party and when it’s time to serve up, the dedicated dining area is ready to host long, lingering family meals. You can imagine spending many a happy hour here eating good food and enjoying each other’s company. Make your way to bed upstairs with the choice of a master king bedroom with TV and en-suite facilities, a super king zip and link bed (which can be made into a twin on request) and a twin room along with a family bathroom to complete the accommodation. Get up in the morning and you’re already in a wonderful setting for exploring the delights of Scarborough and beyond. Take a walk into the town, which is vibrant and lively with a great selection of shops, eateries and amusements to keep the whole family entertained. Why not head to the beach? Scarborough has beautiful beaches which are split into North Bay and South Bay and are the perfect spot for sunbathing, sandcastle-building, romantic strolls and exploring, whatever takes your fancy. No trip to Scarborough is complete without a visit to Sealife Scarborough, where visitors can be entertained by creatures of the underwater variety and with more than 2,500 sea creatures on show, there is never a dull moment! Take a trip to Penguin Island, Coral Cove and Otter River, find out about the sea rescue programme at the Seal Hospital, trek through the Rainforest Adventure area and be amazed by the centre’s Ocean Tunnel. There is also an outdoor play area and a mini-golf course. Head out in the car for a day out to places such as Pickering, York and Whitby and you’ll be rewarded with some great views along the way. Ocean Spray offers immaculate holiday accommodation and a perfect base from which to explore the delights of North Yorkshire.
Popular since Victorian times, the vibrant seaside town of Scarborough retains many of its original fine buildings, parks and gardens, as well as its historic castle which overlooks the town. North Bay and South Bay provide two superb stretches of beautiful, golden sandy beaches, popular with families and small children. There are a number of child friendly activities and many excellent visitor attractions for grown-ups too, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa and Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music. Scarborough is a great location for outdoor activities, with golf courses, lovely coastal walks along the Cleveland Way, stunning cycle routes such as the old railway to Whitby, beautiful sailing and championship quality surfing. Add to this all the usual seaside entertainment and bustling promenades located close to the beach and Scarborough is the destination with something for everyone. Ideally situated for touring the coastline and the moors, Scarborough is an ideal base for a fun-filled break.

Beds were very comfortable and we all had a good nights sleep. A couple of things I asked the owner Laura about and she got on to it straight away and she was very helpful throughout without being intrusive. The whole family and pets thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend Ocean Spray.
