Saint Catherine's hosts official opening for new McCain Suite holiday flat

Saint Catherine’s Hospice has officially launched the McCain Suite, a fully accessible holiday flat in Scarborough designed to provide comfortable seaside breaks for people with medical conditions or additional needs.

The launch event, held on April 30, welcomed supporters, partners, and guests to celebrate the opening of the new accommodation, located within the grounds of Saint Catherine’s.

Representatives from McCain’s Fundables team officially opened the suite during the event with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the achievement made possible through fundraising and support for the project.

Designed to offer a peaceful and practical home-from-home environment, the McCain Suite combines accessibility with the opportunity to enjoy time away on the Yorkshire coast.

The self-catering accommodation includes a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, double bedroom with en-suite, and a versatile second room which can be adapted to suit individual requirements, including the option of a specialist medical bed or twin room set-up.

The suite has been carefully designed, featuring wide doorways, step-free access, and a wheelchair-friendly wet room.

Additional features including WiFi, a smart TV, and a private patio area help create a welcoming and relaxing space for guests and families.

Located close to Scarborough’s seafront, Peasholm Park, and local attractions, the accommodation offers guests the chance to enjoy a break by the sea with comfort and confidence.

Guests can also make use of the on-site Flavours Bistro, serving freshly prepared meals and refreshments throughout the week.

As well as providing accessible holiday accommodation, stays at the McCain Suite will help support the ongoing work of Saint Catherine’s, contributing towards care and support for people and families across the community.

The McCain Suite has been made possible thanks to the fundraising efforts and generosity of McCain’s Fundables team.
