About Applegrove Country Park
We just love these luxury lodges, located 3 miles from the seaside resort of Scarborough. Modern and stylish interiors give you all the luxuries of home but with a lovely rural setting giving an away from it all feel. You really do have the best of both worlds.
Choose to relax in the beautiful surroundings of the park or perhaps explore the glorious North York Moors national Park. There are some fantastic walks and wildlife to see right on the doorstep. If you want somewhere more lively then head into Scarborough for traditional seaside fun and of course fish and chips.
There are many local attractions too in Filey and Whitby to name just a few popular areas close by. For a fun family day out we love the Sea Life Sanctuary in Scarborough where you can see hundreds of reef fish, alongside turtles and even tropical sharks. Flamingo Land theme park is also within easy driving distance of the lodges.
Accommodation on the park is a choice of 2 bedroom holiday homes or 3 bedroom lodges. All come with the added bonus of an outdoor hot tub. The Superior Lodge 2 is a good choice with a contemporary interior, one double and one twin bedroom and outdoor hot tub. This lodge sleeps up to 6.

"Really poor experience with this location - lets itself down. Arrival - having gained entry to the secure site through the wide open gate, drove round looking for staff to check in. Only on 3rd loop did someone ask if we knew arrivals. Informed that a message had been sent with all the details in - however, by their own admission the phone reception was really bad and nothing had come through!Impressive service - had we arrived after they left - we would have been left in limbo!Accommodation - lodge booked online was not the same as one given. Only decent thing to mention was the hot tub. Rest of the lodge was really nothing to get excited about. One small info pack inside - given the location, it should have been rammed with local attractions, trips, walks and all the other things to do in the area. No. This one consisted of a few takeaway leaflets and no more. Site - had the potential to be a really good setting. However, when you have to contend with rowdy guests with music till late on and the constant smell of cannabis - really takes the edge off what we booked as family weekend away. Would we come back here?Simple - no. Would I recommend this place?No."

"We had a lovely, relaxing break and felt it was good value for money. Just a heads up, theres no wi-fi on site, which didnt bother us at all-knew about it beforehand. Some folks seem surprised, but its not mentioned when booking, so no surprises really."

"Our Applegrove Country Park review: We had a great stay overall. The hot tub was spot on, no problems at all, which was perfect for us. The place was pretty spacious, especially with five of us. Just a bit of a tidy up needed-some cobwebs here and there and a couple of fag ends outside. Still, no biggie really. Would stay again!"

As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time.

Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially. A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs. Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy.
