    Nothing, it was perfect for us.

    Great breakfast, quizzes were fun. Location perfect for short walks into town. Local pubs and restaurants were good. Whilst we did not travel for Halloween, the effort put in by hosts to mark the event, particularly for trick and treaters was superb.

    Debbie couldn't have done more to make feel welcome. The breakfast was great and the room was very comfy. Location of is great being 5 minutes from the Centre of Scarborough and the Train Station and minutes from Peasholme Park and the Open Air Theatre. The bus to Whitby also stops a couple of minutes away making it a great location to visit other parts of Yorkshire.
