Located in the centre of the gorgeous Victorian seaside town of Saltburn by the Sea, there is plenty to suit everyone including families, couples, Senior citizens and dog owners.
The bustling town is a 5 minute walk from the apartment, with a wide range of independent family run shops, bars, bistros and restaurants to visit.
