It was worth paying to go into the castle area. It is beautifully looked after and a lovely place to view the town and sea. It wasn't planned but I had the added bonus of being there for the motorcycle races.

Scarborough is okay, typical seaside resort but has very poor parking. Meters don't take old pound coins and many did not take cards. On street parking is limited from April to September notwithstanding the fact that if it was in use you could still drive down the road. All parking lots were full to overflowing and many tickets being given out to people parked both on streets and in parts of parking lots due to way too many restrictions. City owned washrooms all need an upgrade. Travelled to nearby Whitby which was absolutely fabulous. Cannot compare it to Scarborough as it has much better parking and tourism facilities. Loved Whitby!!!!

Unfortunately it was a mistake coming to Scarborough, Having been here 5 years ago it has changed dramatically. As one taxi driver called it - it's a 'ghost town'. All the restaurants shut at 9. Bars at 10.30pm latest, not a single night club. If the weather is anything but sunny you wills struggle to enjoy yourself. La Plaza Pizzeria however does amazing takeaways - recommend highly!

For music the Open Air Theatre (biggest in Europe) has a great selection of live music from May through to September. Along the south bay sea front there is a wide choice of fish and chips establishments, and ice cream parlours.
There are 2 lovely beaches divided by the Marine Drive, overlooked by the splendid Castle, which holds all sorts of events over the year.
Peasholm Park, on the north side, has the famous Naval Warfare held over the summer month, as well a lovely walks, a Chinese Island and places to eat and drink.
Scarborough is a great base for exploring the area; close to the NY Moors with beautiful countryside and Whitby, Filey, Bridlington and York.
2017 welcomed the Alphamare swimming complex. Outdoor and indoor pools with slides for all ages.
Plenty of pubs in and around Scarborough serving delicious local foods.

As a local I can recommend a stroll along the South Cliff esplanade visiting the Italian Gardens and enjoying panoramic views down in to the South Bay and harbour. Scarborough is blessed with two magnificent bays overlooked by the medieval castle on top of Scarborough rock. The South Bay has developed into the popular seaside amusements and kiss me quick scenario with many takeaway cafes and fish and chip venues. The North Bay is less commercial and linked to Peasholm Park with its lake and more sedate attractions such as the largest open air theatre in the UK and the Sea Life Marine Aquarium. Safe sea bathing can take place in both bays with RNLI lifeguards present during the summer season and two all year RNLI lifeboats should you get into difficulty at sea. The town is home to the famous Stephen Joseph theatre and playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn and holds many premier shows. Scarborough has many first class restaurants and quick food take away cafes - see Trip Advisor. The town known as the Queen of the East Coast has many first class hotels and also a Premier Inn and Travel Lodge. As a base should you get bored with the delights of the town there is the North Yorkshire National Park to the north and to the west and south several stately homes including Castle Howard and of course the ancient and beguiling city of York. Scarborough is served by regular train services to York and beyond and to Hull via Filey and Bridlington. Being on the east coast means that Scarborough benefits from a milder and drier climate than some other parts of the UK.
The beautiful North and East Ridings of Yorkshire await your pleasure.

I love Scarborough, it has something for everybody.
I love Scarborough, it has something for everybody. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour, there are plenty of quiet relaxing places to visit, like the hidden gem of the Italian gardens and the pitch and put green to the South Bay and Peasholm Park to the North. Plenty of restaurants if you want a nice meal on an evening from Italian to more traditional food.
Can't wait to attend the open air theatre this summer, can't beat it on a balmy summer evening! Plus extra public transport was waiting for us all to take us back to our accommodation in Town!
Lots of places to explore to walk off those treats at the seaside, the Castle, the south bay leading up to the Cleveland walk. If you're feeling energetic you can walk to Filey, which is approx 8 miles and takes about 3 hours, a very interesting and varied walk taking you through woods and breathtaking cliff top paths, you can even stop off at Cayton Bay for a toilet break and a picnic half way. Once you reach Filey, you can catch the train back to Scarborough if you are based there, takes 15 minutes on the train and they run at least every half an hour.
This is the view from the car park at the top of south bay showing the path leading up to the Cleveland Way walk to Filey.
I hope you enjoy your visit to Scarborough as I always do!
“The hotel was beautiful. We stayed in the luxury king room for 2 nights. Spacious, beautifully decorated. The huge bed was to die for. The bathroom was amazing. Lovely green marble tiles and a bright white suite with a roll top bath. Kevin on reception was professional, friendly and very welcoming. The communal areas are warm and inviting. The food was absolutely superb. We would highly recommend the hotel. We couldn't fault it”
“Just back from a relaxing 4days in Scarborough staying at The Gordon Hotel and the owners couldn't have been more nice.
I travelled with my wife who is due to give birth and young son.
The hotel was also in a great location near the beach and Peasholm park which we spend most of our days.”
“Absolutely worth 9.1 ranks. It is a house hotel just like others in Scarborough. My room was large, clean and tidy with a cozy bed. The shower was excellent. The breakfast impressed me most. There were many options offered to guests. I chose the full British. The dining room was bright with free self-service coffee, tea, juice, milk,yogurt and some cookies. My meal was good as well. Highly recommend.”
