\"A<\/p>\n

Scarborough has two bays, a medieval castle on the headland between them and a harbour full of cobles, gulls and fish and chip queues. Walk the North Bay promenade in the morning, watch the boats come in by lunchtime, then climb up to the castle walls for a view right along the coast. By evening you’ll be glad of somewhere quiet to go back to, and that’s where a lodge comes in.<\/p>\n

Most of the parks sit just outside Scarborough, in the beautiful farmland around Burniston, Cayton and Snainton, with the North York Moors behind them and the sea a few minutes away.<\/p>\n

You get the seaside by day and a private hot tub by night. Below are six real parks within about half an hour of the seafront, a side by side table, the dog rules for the beaches, our favourite walks and days out, and a month by month guide to when to go.<\/p>\n

Which lodges near Scarborough are worth booking?<\/h2>\n

All six of these parks are pet friendly and all six have hot tub lodges, so the real choice comes down to location. Want sea views and a five-minute drive into town? Go for the first two. For a pool and a restaurant on site, look at Killerby Old Hall, and for lakes or moorland quiet, head a little further inland. They’re listed closest first.<\/p>\n

Short on time? Here are our quick picks.<\/p>\n

    Hot tub lodges in Scarborough: what you actually get<\/h2>\n

    If you’re after accommodation with a hot tub in Scarborough, every park above has properties with their own private tub, and you can see the full list of hot tub lodges across the UK<\/a> if you’d like to compare further afield. Around Scarborough the tubs tend to sit on the decking or veranda, looking out over farmland, woodland, a golf course or a lake.<\/p>\n

    On a clear night, out in the fields away from the town lights, the stars put on a good show.<\/p>\n

    A couple of practical things. Check whether the one you like has a tub, rather than assuming the whole park does, because at bigger parks it can vary from one cabin to the next. And if you’re bringing children, look at the park’s own rules on hot tub use for under-16s before you go.<\/p>\n

    Dog friendly log cabins and lodges in Scarborough<\/h2>\n

    Good news for dog owners: every park on this page takes pets, which makes these some of the easiest holiday lodges in Scarborough to book with a dog, and there are plenty more on our pet friendly lodge search<\/a>. The beaches are where you need to plan.<\/p>\n

    North Yorkshire Council runs a seasonal dog ban from 1 May to 30 September on signposted zones of Scarborough’s two main beaches, as well as stretches at Filey, Whitby West Cliff and Sandsend. Here’s how it works in Scarborough:<\/p>\n
