The Woodpecker, a charming single-storey holiday home, is nestled in the seaside town of Scarborough, only a short distance from the North York National Park. With its open-plan layout, an enclosed patio and proximity to the local amenities and beach, The Woodpecker is the perfect spot for couples, friends, and families looking for a peaceful getaway. Step inside and be welcomed into a bright and airy open-plan living space, comprising a kitchen, dining area and sitting area, all decorated in a contemporary and elegant fashion. Find yourself a spot and relax in front of the TV, while the chef of the group whips up a delicious meal in the kitchen, ready to be enjoyed around the dining table. If you prefer to dine alfresco, head out to the enclosed rear patio, where you can sit and soak up the sea air with a glass of bubbly or even a cup of tea whilst you watch the sun set on the horizon. When the stars come out and the evening draws in, make your way through to the sleek shower room to wash away the day, before hunkering down in one of the two king-size bedrooms, both featuring TVs, and perfect for unwinding in ahead of another day of exciting adventures. The North York National Park and surrounding areas are brimming with iconic sights and activities to discover. Visit Pickering to explore the remains of the 16th-century site of Pickering Castle or wander around the beach with its abundance of wildlife waiting to be discovered. Take a trip to the coastal town of Whitby, most famous for the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Whitby Abbey, or venture further afield to the bustling city of York, with its grand gothic Minster and thriving independent shops. You could even stay local to discover many delights of Scarborough, whose sandy beaches, and activities welcome guests with open arms all year round. The Woodpecker provides the perfect opportunity to explore all that this wonderful corner of Yorkshire has to offer.
