Host & Stay | Watch House

Summary:
Watch House is a beautiful three bedroom, three bathroom property located in Castle Gardens in the heart of Scarborough in North Yorkshire. Expertly designed with modern interiors and incredible views across the South Beach, Watch House will provide a stay to remember in Scarborough on the Yorkshire coast.

The Space:
Watch House is a stunning detached property carefully curated with style and comfort in mind. Boasting a south facing outdoor space, an open plan kitchen, living and dining area plus three bedrooms, there is ample space for the whole family.

On the ground floor, you’ll find two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a utility room. The first bedroom features a double bed and an en suite shower room. Great for children, the second bedroom includes twin single beds. Both bedrooms have a tranquil feel and premium bed linens to ensure a comfortable night's sleep.

The family bathroom has white tiles complemented with dove grey wood panelling. Modern and clean, there is a bathtub with an overhead shower, a WC and a Victorian style basin.

At the rear of the property, there is a south facing outdoor space which boasts a seating area and table. A real treat in Scarborough, this private space is ideal for alfresco dining. Start your day with a coffee in the sunshine or enjoy a glass of bubbly as the evening draws in.

Take the stairs up to the first floor and you’ll find the beautiful open plan kitchen, living and dining area. Benefiting from incredible sea views from the Juliet balcony, this space is perfect for relaxing. Fire up the log burner in the winter months and cosy up on the sofa watching your favourite shows on the flat screen TV. In the summer, open the French doors and let the warm breeze drift in as you prepare a home cooked meal.

Ultra stylish, the kitchen features blue cabinets and marble style worktops. Amenities include an oven, hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge freezer and dishwasher so Watch House is fully equipped for self-catering stays. Enjoy meals with your loved ones at the dining area which consists of a wooden dining table and modern, white chairs.

Also on this floor, you’ll find the final bedroom in the property. French doors open out to views of the cliffs and sea in the distance making this space really special. The bedroom includes a comfortable Queen bed and en suite shower room.

Located in the seaside town of Scarborough, Watch House is a short walk from the local attractions. Packed with seaside charm, you’ll find plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes to discover as well as arcades and ice cream parlours.

There are a number of beaches for you to choose from. The popular South Bay is a short 10-minute walk from the property and here you’ll find a sun trap close to the hustle and bustle of the town centre. North Bay has been accredited with Blue Flag status meaning it’s one of the best beaches in Europe! Cayton Bay is the quietest of the three and boasts a sweeping bay with a rural feel.

Ideal for all weathers, there are lots of indoor attractions in Scarborough for the whole family. Head to Sea Life Sanctuary to see seals, penguins, sharks, turtles and more or Scarborough Castle to explore its 3000 year history. If it’s outdoor fun you’re looking for, The Open Air Theatre is a 5-minute drive from the house where you can see amazing bands, singers and comedians.

Lovely house cosy stay
We visited 5th September for a long weekend. The house is very nice with amazing sea views. Well equipped with all the usual things you would expect in a rental house. Had a problem with parking as the scratch cards were not in the property as suggested in the guide and it was too late to do anything about it the night we checked in, however after a couple of calls in the morning we were sorted. I ha read a previous review regarding stairs and parking and it should be noted that the property is located at the top of a hill. Expect stairs and challenging hills to unload the car and enter leave the property. If you were elderly with mobility issues this is not for you. Parking spaces are around the corner and at a premium so we were home early every day to secure one otherwise you would be searching for a space and would again involve plenty of exercise

We really enjoyed our stay. The views from the upstairs were amazing, especially with the large French doors. The kitchen and dining area were excellent. We loved having 3 separate bathrooms. WiFi and TV were excellent. It was also nice to have a washing machine and storage space in the utility room. The garden was lovely, especially for the children. Hard to park (we could not find residents' parking spaces, so hard to use a car park half a mile away) and very hard to unload the car upon arrival - would be very hard with small children. The location worked well for us with the views but would not work for anyone with infants, as the climb up the steps would be impossible with a buggy or pram. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Brilliant location & beautiful property
We really enjoyed our stay at the Watchhouse. The location is brilliant, as both the North & South bays are in walking distance. The property is furnished to a high standard and it was great having 3 bathrooms for our family of 5! Also unusual to get an outdoor garden space so close to the coast. The property wouldn’t be ideal for people with mobility issues as there are a number of steps to access the house & rooms, which we did have some challenges with for our 1 year old-but the host provided a baby gate which was very much appreciated. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great bolt-hole - stylishly fitted and well equipped. Quick access to walking routes (both bays) and good views out to sea. Would stay again!
