NAZARE - Our apartment is located in the coastal town of Nazare, 95 miles north from Lisbon (90 minutes away by regular Express coach service) but closer to many other places of interest.

The apartment is an ideal base for your self-catering holiday and being on a hill it offers good views over the town and the sea. It’s a short walk to the town centre; its vast array of shops, bars, harbour, beach and a large number of restaurants. The weekly open-air market takes places each Friday morning (Although the indoor food market is open every morning, except Mondays, for fruit, vegetables, fish and bread). The views from Sitio and Pederneira (the high parts of the town) are breathtaking. Less than 30 minutes away by car or bus, you may wish to visit Caldas da Rainha, famous for its pottery and ceramics or Alcobaça, famous for its crystal glass, china and monastery. Alternatively, the impressive abbey at Batalha and Obidos the best preserved medieval walled town in Portugal are less than an hour away. Nazare has a well appointed indoor municipal heated pool and waterpark but if you enjoy playing golf then the Praia D'el Rey Golf Club is located between Obidos and Peniche. The apartment is clean and well appointed and comprises a kitchen, living / dinning room, hallway, bathroom and 2 bedrooms each with 2 single beds and ample wardrobe space.

The Hotel Almar is a 9 bedroomed non-smoking establishment offering quality bed and breakfast accommodation. Situated in the popular North Bay area of Scarborough we are 2 minutes from Peasholm Park and a short walk to the Blue Flagged North Bay Beach. Scarborough is close to The North Yorkshire Moors National Park and 'Heartbeat' country.

We are open all year round, and can offer short break and Christmas breaks, details on request.

I've just stayed for 2 nights at a B&B in Scarbrough run by a former QPD - Phil Rendell with his wife Bev. Great mine hosts with extremely clean digs and a great big breakfast. Very nice couple who just couldn't do enough for their guests. Great people skills too. They made me and the missus and our daughter most welcome. The premises is licensed and serve drinks at their little bar from 6-10pm Monday to Saturday. Anyone thinking of going up to North Yorkshire and wanting digs would be hard pushed to find much better and reasonably priced too. Give them a try and you'll be well pleased.
