“This Scarborough hotel places guests ideally between the beach and the town center, appealing especially to families and couples seeking a seaside escape. Recent updates appear to have refreshed the property, with spacious, well-equipped rooms-some offering sea views. I see it as a solid base for exploring local attractions like Peasholm Park.”
