Blue & Green holiday cottages: The Pavilion, Scarborough

Breathe in the sea air at this marvellous Yorkshire property, just a stone’s throw away from the coast. Book today for you and your family through cottages4you.

This former pavilion house is set in the grounds of historic Killerby Hall which dates back to 1849. The property is extensively renovated, and retains many original features with an exquisitely designed interior with finest attention to detail.

With views of the hall, its grounds and countryside beyond, this detached holiday home is close to the stunning beaches of Cayton Bay which is ideal for surfing and has plenty of shops, elegant Scarborough, with harbour, beaches, cafes, amusements, arcades, theatres, parks and 12th-century castle ruins, or the small town of Filey.

Just over an hour’s drive away is the old smuggling village of Robin Hood’s Bay. Step back in time and explore the tumbling fishermen’s cottages which line the cobbled streets all the way down to the sandy little cove. Just a little further afield is the historic port of Whitby. Famed for its connections with Captain James Cook and Dracula, it also boasts a 3-mile stretch of award-winning sandy beach.

Visit the spa town of Harrogate with its RHS Harlow Carr gardens and Betty’s Tearoom which is a must, and the walled city of York with attractions for all the family including the Castle Museum, Yorkshire Museum, Jorvik Viking Centre, the York Art Gallery, Richard III Museum, the National Railway Museum and the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall.

Across the North Yorkshire Moors, a trip from Pickering on a steam train is the ideal way to view Heartbeat country. Visit the RSPB bird sanctuary at Bempton Cliffs with breathtaking views across the coast to Filey Brigg and Flambrough Head.
