Description Good Innings: Scarborough

Located right outside Yorkshire’s premier cricket ground – Scarborough Cricket Club – this small but stylish property is a great option for couples and solo travellers alike. There might not be any showstopping amenities to bowl you over here, but what this place lacks in luxurious finishes, it more than makes up for in home comforts. Sink into the living room sofa and unwind in front of the flat-screen TV or grab a seat at the dining table and catch up on some work before heading out to explore the area.

If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied here. Take your furry friend for a walk along North Bay Beach – one of the best beaches in Europe – or jump in the car and make your way to North Yorkshire Water Park for an afternoon of kayaking. Most importantly, you’re less than a minute’s walk from Scarborough Cricket Club here, so grab a pint, sit back, and enjoy the match.
