Parking permits for 4 cars included. No smoking.. Princess Lodge is situated in the old town of Scarborough, just a stone’s throw from the beach. This Grade II listed property built in the early 1800s once had a chemist’s shop on the ground floor, serving the local community from the early 1900s, right up until the 1960s. The property is now a wonderful holiday home with plenty of space for ten people.
The old town is where the fishermen’s cottages, quay side and shipyards were located. All the streets of the old town are on the hillside so the wives could watch for the boats coming back in. A short walk and you are in the town centre, where you can walk through the indoor market and onto the high street.
Scarborough has plenty to do for people of all ages, with two fantastic beaches and a long promenade, perfect for an evening stroll. Peasholm Park is well worth a visit, especially for those with children as there are pedalos, rowing boats and canoes so you can enjoy sailing around the beautiful lake.
For evening entertainment, Scarborough Open Air Theatre is the largest in Europe where many international acts put on shows throughout the summer. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance from the property, and for those who enjoy shopping the High Street is just a 5-minute walk away.
Filey, Whitby and Bridlington are all a short drive away making the property ideally placed to visit these towns, as well as the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Wolds. The medieval city of York is less than an hour away by car or you can catch a direct train from Scarborough.
South Bay beach 400 yards. Shop 200 yards, pub 100 yards, restaurant 250 yards.

We totally enjoyed our stay at princess Lodge, in great location close to town and sea front. Couple of minor issues 1 sink plug was stuck in and 1 ring on hob didn't work which I read on a previous review but either didn't cause to much problems. Some decor could do with a bit of a touch up but nothing major.All in all we had a great stay and would definitely recommend and return in the future. Stuart

We had a fantastic stay at this property and would happily return. The location is excellentperfectly situated for getting around and exploring the area with ease. Everything we needed was close by, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. The size of the property was ideal for our group, with plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable throughout our stay. It never felt cramped, and the layout worked really well. The amenities were also a big highlighteverything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully provided. It really felt like a home away from home. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property to others looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay.

Princess Lodge is situated in the Old Town with a 5minute walk down to the sea front. It was very spacious, clean and perfect for our stay.Parking is on the roads around and we did find a space close by we used the parking permit supplied and didn’t need to move the car again as the house is in a great position for accessing the beach and town. We also used the open top bus as we had great weather.The owner checked in with us which was nice although we had no issues. Would definitely recommend! Welcome basket was a lovely touch!
