Working Remotely? Why Not Work From Scarborough for a While?

Swap the home office for the coast - and bring your dog with you!

One of the biggest benefits of remote working is that, occasionally, work doesn’t have to mean sitting in the same place every day.


If your job can travel with you, a few weeks in Scarborough could give you a change of scenery without using up your annual leave. And if you have a dog, they can come too.


At Carlton House Guesthouse, our longer stays are designed for people who need somewhere comfortable and practical for more than just a few nights.


Everything you need to keep working


Reliable Wi-Fi is essential when you’re working remotely, whether you’re answering emails, joining Teams calls or simply need to stay connected.


You’ll also have your own en-suite room, with a fridge and kettle, plus access to two guest sitting rooms if you want somewhere different to sit and relax away from your bedroom.


For longer stays, there are also kitchenette and laundry facilities, while rooms are serviced weekly with fresh bed linen and towels.


In other words, you can settle in properly rather than feeling as though you’re living out of a suitcase.

And when the laptop closes...


Carlton House is on Scarborough’s South Cliff, within easy reach of the Esplanade, Italian Gardens and the coast.


Shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services are all within walking distance too, so you don’t necessarily need to jump in the car every time you need something.


And if your four-legged colleague has joined you, there are plenty of opportunities to head out for a walk once the working day is over.


Bringing your dog? Even better


Finding somewhere suitable for several weeks can be much harder when you have a dog.


Carlton House Guesthouse is dog-friendly, and your first dog stays free, which makes a longer stay that little bit easier.



So, there’s no need to arrange kennels, ask somebody else to look after them or leave them behind. You can simply bring them with you and enjoy Scarborough together.

Stay for a few weeks - or longer


Every long stay is different.


You might want a few weeks away while continuing to work normally, be spending part of the year working remotely, or simply fancy swapping the home office for the coast for a while.


Rather than asking you to fit a longer stay into a standard online booking, we prefer to have a conversation about what you need.


If you’re considering a longer stay in Scarborough, give us a call on 07948 714140 and tell us what you’re looking for.
