Before Christmas break
Pros:

This is our go to Scarborough Hotel stayed several times. Food lovely and I really appreciated being able to ask for a small portion of the roast meat- it felt so much better being able to empty the plate!! Every member of staff are really helpful and friendly that goes for the staff in the pub area as well as the hotel itself. Room clean as usual thank you everyone we will be back next year. 🥰
