The morning light catches the rooftops and chimneys of old Scarborough, and somewhere below the gulls are already wheeling over the harbour.

Lonsdale Villa suits couples after a proper seaside break without the tent pegs, small families who want a base for the beach and castle, or solo travellers drawn to the North Yorkshire coast out of season. The camping pods offer a step up from canvas with a roof overhead, while the guest house rooms give you the full Yorkshire B&B experience — this is Scarborough, so you're here for the two bays, the headland walks, fish and chips on the prom, and a town that's been welcoming visitors since long before anyone thought to call it tourism.

It's open year round, so winter weekenders and storm watchers are as welcome as summer families. Dogs are worth asking about in advance. Campfires need checking when you arrive — probably a pod-by-pod thing. The feel is more lodgings than campsite, a straightforward seaside stay with a hint of vintage charm and the coast right there.
