“2nd year in a row for us as a family of 7.”

This house has so many pluses, size, bedrooms, games room, cinema room and jacuzzi. The kitchen needs updating, the oven door is broken and therefore food takes longer to cook as the oven takes an age to warm up. We also had trouble with the fridge which has some issues around getting cold and holding temperature, plus water and ice machine didn't work. We did report this but nothing was done as we expected as what could the owner have done other than buy a new fridge. Fortunately it was ...

This house has so many pluses, size, bedrooms, games room, cinema room and jacuzzi. The kitchen needs updating, the oven door is broken and therefore food takes longer to cook as the oven takes an age to warm up. We also had trouble with the fridge which has some issues around getting cold and holding temperature, plus water and ice machine didn't work. We did report this but nothing was done as we expected as what could the owner have done other than buy a new fridge. Fortunately it was cold outside so we didn't lose any food, however things like this need checking regularly and remeding as this is a necessity for keeping food etc fresh. This property comes with a price so things like this need sorting out in our opinion.

“Plenty of quality equipment available for cooking Christmas dinner for 14 of us.”

Lovely and warm house. A shoe rack in the rear lobby would be helpful and the existence of the tumble drier could have been included in the property description. It would have soothed the anxieties of the children’s parents! I do not recognise some of earlier reviewers complaints. The back steps are completely safe in normal conditions, and a bag of rock salt was provided at the bottom of them so even if you arrive in icy conditions you can treat them. The lounge furniture did not smell and there was no picture covered in mould in the downstairs toilet. We had a wonderful time!

Pleased you enjoyed your christmas Property Owner

“Our 3rd year running at Green Tor and it didn't disappoint.”

It's in a perfect location for our early Christmas family get together. The house is so cosy and welcoming. It's just like home from home for us. We had a day at the Alpamare which has reopened this year and the kids loved the Santa train and feeding the squirrels in Peasolm park. All in all another successful year. The Docherty's

“Very tired decor.”

Downstairs toilet has a picture on the wall which is covered in thick mould. Steps to back door became wet in driving rain and four of us slipped on them in the same place. I had the worst slip and ended up in A&E with a torn ligament and chipped bone in my left foot!! I’m now having to pay out a fortune to get someone to walk my dog not to mention the pain and suffering! They should put some anti slip surface down on the steps.

- Lynn, October 2024

Very very sorry to here about your slip. This is the first incident we are aware of with these steps that have a handrail top to bottom but we will re access them in the near future. Property Owner
Sylvia October 2024

“The house name is hard to spot, possibly the trees need cutting back.”

The kitchen doesn't work very well, it would benefit from a redesign, but the bedrooms, lounges and dining room are very comfortable. Loved the period features, Green Tor is a beautiful house.

- Sylvia, October 2024
Rich August 2024

“Brilliant house, plenty of space and great location.”

Games room was superb. Hot tub superb. Hope to book again next year.

- Rich, August 2024
Patricia August 2024

“Wonderful house, games room a big bonus.”

Perfect location. Thank you for the Prosecco, that was a lovely touch. Thanks for swift action on lack of knives, the cleaning manager was friendly and helpful and also provided an extra water jug. The cinema room really needs some ventilation. A few more seving/mixing bowls would be appreciated as well as some food basics such as salt. An excellent holiday for all 14 of us.

- Patricia, August 2024
John August 2024

“Great property location but property a little tired!”

! Winter duvets provided for all beds even in summer, opening windows very few and far between so a good nights sleep difficult. Fan provided for one bedroom but others also need one. Only 3 beer glasses and three wine glasses available for a property which sleeps 14 people!!!! Waste water escaping from down pipes from bathroom and kitchen. House needs a good deep clean, louge furniture smelly. This is not a 5 star property

- John, August 2024

“We had an excellent stay at Green Tor.”

No complaints at all.

Michael July 2024

“Lovely property in a fantastic location for the North beach and Peasholm Park.”

The games room was well used but could do with a light over the dart board and two decent cues. The theatre room was great with a good supply of films. Ideal for a lovely family holiday.

- Michael, July 2024

Thanks for the feedback i replaced the cues for the next guests pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Clare July 2024

“Everything about Green Tor is great!”

The position within a five minute walk of all that the North Bay has to offer, the facilities at the house, the comfort and cleanliness are all five star. We were a family party of eleven ranging from 5 to 75 and there was something for everyone - even on the rainy days when the games room came into it’s own! We will certainly be back. Just one suggestion - we found we didn’t use the dining room for meals and the kitchen was a bit of a squeeze, so knocking through to make one big kitchen/diner would be a huge improvement.

- Clare, July 2024
Lisa June 2024

“Lovely house and a great stay.”

One minor issue with a blown fuse on the first morning sorted out very quickly. Would definitely stay again.

“We had a fantastic weekend, the house was perfect for our family group of 13.”

The highlight was the games room and hot tub which got lots of use. The bedrooms were good sizes and really comfy beds. Really well placed for North Beach amenities. Everything you would need. It would have been helpful to know about the coffee pod machine because we could have brought pods. I also feel it would have been really good to have dishwasher tabs available, there was one left which we used but it wouldn’t cost much for a few to be provided for guests. Lovely touches with 2 bottles of Prosecco in the fridge and hot tub towels ready in the games room. There was a leak coming from the house bathroom upstairs running down through the kitchen ceiling (where the pulley rack is situated) I noticed a recent review about the fact that the bbq should be replaced and when we were there we noticed 2 brand new BBq’s in situ- excellent. All in all a brilliant house for large groups, really well appointed and perfect location. I think checkout could be 11am though!

- Lisa, June 2024

Thanks for the feedback We will have another look at the leek on next turn round. Property Owner
Karen May 2024

“This is our second visit to this property and we again had a lovely time, however there were a few things I would like to mention so the owners could make their holiday home perfect.”

There were 2 pillows missing from a single bed on the top floor(although the pillow cases were there). One of the front bedroom ensuites needs the shower rail securing along with the sink tap. The family bathroom shower over the bath leaked during use and water came through to the kitchen underneath ( I contacted Oliver and left a message on his phone to let him know, he did not make contact to let me know he had received my call). There is damp along the outside wall in the front 1st floor bedroom and bathroom. There was only one key for the entrance into the back door which caused a problem if some of our party came in later. There was also only one remote for the 2 tv's. On the whole the house is lovely with great facilities including the hot tub and games/cinema room which we all enjoyed however I paid Almost £5000 pounds for a weeks holiday to find that I had to buy toilet rolls! This may seem petty but considering the amount of people using the house, 2 toilet rolls per bathroom is not enough!!

- Karen, May 2024

Thanks for the feed back we will take a look at the issues on the next turn round. Sorry i must have missed your call Property Owner
Emma May 2024

“Great property for large groups.”

Everything you could want is there for a fun filled time. Great location. Games room well equipped, kids loved the cinema room and hot tub perfect for the adults. Kitchen well equipped for cooking meals, lovely comfy beds. Only issue was bbq probably could do with replacing and maybe a cover to protect it.

- Emma, May 2024
Rachel April 2024

“Fantastic property.”

There were 7 adults and 6 children in our group and it suited us all. Kitchen very well equipped. Lovely large living room with plenty of seating. Games room and cinema room were great for keeping the kids entertained. Bedrooms all a reasonable size and comfortable. Property generally clean throughout. Only issue that was flagged was that the skylight in the top bathroom was leaking a bit when it rained. Locationwise, it's a 10-15 min walk to Tesco Express and a decent pub (Tunny Catch). Less than 5 mins to a One Stop. Right over the road from Peasholm Park (lovely place to walk around and has a cafe/pedalos). Less than 10 min walk down to the beach and to the North Bay Railway.

“Family weekend to celebrate 60th birthday.”

What an amazing house and facilities in a fantastic location. 100% recommend.

- Alison, April 2024
Mark March 2024

“Great house for a larger group.”

Spotlessly clean, with every facility needed. With just a few minutes walk to the north beach, the location is fantastic too. We all enjoyed our holiday and would definitely stay here again.

- Mark, March 2024
Stephen January 2024

“The whole family loved the weekend.”

We didn't venture far because of the hot tub, games & cinema room which were fab. We are already considering booking for the same time next year.

- Stephen, January 2024
Jackie December 2023

“Another great week at Green Tor.”

This is the second time we've stayed here and it's absolutely fab. The kids talk about it all year round and hopefully the lovely memories of our special family week together will last forever. The house is in a great location for everything and is so warm and cozy. We took the kids on the Santa Train and got tickets for Beauty & The Beast at the Stephen Joseph Theatre which was brilliant. A special mention must go to Bernadette nothing is too much trouble for her. Hopefully see you then same time next year. Thanks Jackie

Barbara November 2023

“We had a fantastic weekend at this property to celebrate a family members 40th birthday.”

The house was comfortable, clean very well equipped and perfect for a mixed age family. The games/cinema room and hot tub an added bonus. The owners responded very quickly to a query about lack of heating to the top floor. Would definitely recommend Green Tor and hope to return at some point.

- Barbara, November 2023
Patricia November 2023

“Fabulous holiday home for a large group.”

Loved everything about it. Had a lovely weekend for my 70th with all my family. I would just advise them to check their gutters a couple of rooms had a bit of damp and mould in them. ( just to save extra work later)

- Patricia, November 2023
Caroline November 2023

“Beautiful house which is very well equipped for all.”

- Caroline, November 2023
Stephen September 2023

“The property is true to the pictures on the website.”

The house was extremely clean, the kitchen has every type of utensil you could possibly need, plenty of prep space and a table big enough for all guests to sit around and chat. The other areas of the house were equally as comfortable for us (9 adults & 4 children). The icing on the cake is the games/cinema room, adults & children loved it. The hot tub was excellent to chill out in, the addition of a shower room in the Games room was really convenient when using the hot tub ( better than trailing through the house dripping all over the floors) and great big fluffy towels specifically for the hot tub too. We couldn’t fault the house or the outside area and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

- Stephen, September 2023
Elaine August 2023

“A spacious, comfortable house in a great location.”

Games room and cinema room proved very popular. Access to cinema room tricky for older and younger members of the group (2 and 88). Some maintenance issues - water comes out of overflow when shower in use, chair legs in cinema room wobbly. Kitchen catered for 12 people well. A pizza cutter would have been welcome and there was only 1 pizza tray. These are however minor points and did not detract from what is a fantastic property.

- Elaine, August 2023

Hi thanks for the feed back we will check overflow and chair legs in cinama room and stock check pizza cutters and tray on next turn round. Property Owner
Karen August 2023

“Fabulous week in a wonderful house and setting.”

Plenty of room for all of us with great facilities. House very clean and the cinema and games room were well used! Hope to return again next summer!

- Karen, August 2023
Hannah July 2023

“Lovely large house with lots of space for our party of 7 adults and 4 children/teenagers.”

Brilliant location for local services, beach, park etc. The games room was great. We found the kitchen rather poorly equipped kitchen for the number of guests, including lack of basic cutlery like teaspoons and some crockery. Lovely grounds! Parking was a bit challenging on the long narrow driveway, with a lot of juggling of vehicles required. We were a little unsure about the upkeep/cleanliness of the hot tub. There also appeared to be some issues with damp in the property, and the gutters & drains could do with some attention. A little DIY attention to some little details like loose taps in en suite, mould, some curtains derailed, would make a massive difference. Also, we found an old cupcake case under one of the sofas so not sure how thoroughly the property is cleaned between visitors! But we enjoyed our stay and loved the location and the space available.

- Hannah, July 2023
Barbara April 2023

“Great location and very roomy, bedrooms great.”

The kitchen however was in need of some updating and care ; decoration chipped some chairs needed mending and cooking facilities not really adequate for size of property. Similarly with the hot tub and games room, equipment broken, hot tub needed cleaning. We have not found the owners helpful at all, from initial booking to resolving item mistakenly left on the premises.

- Barbara, April 2023

Thank you for your comments Barbara, I value all feedback as we want to ensure our guests have the best experience. The hot tub is cleaned and refilled on every changeover, I will look into the items in the games room which need replacing. Sadly as we don't live directly near the cottage, we had to wait for our cleaning team to retrieve the lost property. This has now been returned and will be with you shortly. We have an aga as well as a large oven that we have never had any complaints about in the past. Once again we thank you for your feedback. Property Owner
Mary March 2023

“We stayed at Green Tor for 3 nights, a mixed group of adults and children and we all had a wonderful time.”

The facilities are really well thought out and plenty of everything you need for a large group. Very nice large rooms and the living room was a really great size so we could all be together, same for the dining room. Very clean property. The garden, games room and hot tub are all really nice. Lots to do in the games room. Fantastic location, close to the sea front as well as shops and bars etc. The park across the road is large and a nice place to visit. Highly recommended.

- Mary, March 2023
Jean March 2023

“Had a great family break at Green Tor.”

Clean, tidy, spacious, everything you need. Set with a lovely garden, hot tub very private. Peasholm Park across the road and a short walk to the beach. Definately will return.

“A vacuum cleaner would have been useful The cafetière was too small There were ...”

A vacuum cleaner would have been useful The cafetière was too small There were no table tennis balls Need to do something about the infestation of ladybirds - I actually got bitten on my face on the last night

- Mary, December 2022

Sorry to hear about the ladybirds we have had a small problem with ladybirds this winter these have now been removed from the house and the hoover is back from repair. The table tennis balls are in a box on the shelve in the games room. The housekeeper lives close by and would have rectified these problems quickly. Property Owner
Jackie December 2022

“This house is the most perfect house ever for young and old.”

The house overlooks Peasolm Park and is so cosy and warm. We had an early Christmas so all the family could be together. The dining/cooking facilities were brilliant. The owners even popped round with more glasses and serving dishes when they found out we were making Christmas dinner! The games room is great for the kids with a cinema room as well. It was perfect all being in the same room to watch the World Cup final (pity it wasn’t England). Visited the Alpamare which is only 2 minutes away and some of us went to the wellness spa which is well worth a visit. We took the kids on the Santa Train which was great. Absolutely fantastic week and hopefully we’ll do it all again next year.

Ali November 2022

“This property is absolutely brilliant.”

We have an annual family pre Christmas gathering and we could wish for nothing. The facilities for cooking are amazing, you don't need for anything. The rooms are spacious and clean. It's beautifully maintained and very comfortable. Its near the beach and the park, perfect for the little ones to run around. Also, lovely welcome package.

- Ali, November 2022
Barbara October 2022

“We had an amazing time, the property was perfect for us.”

There was lots of space for everyone but still cozy and comfortable. We had an issue with the hot tub but it was quickly resolved. The kids and adults loved the games room and cinema, we just wish we had more time to enjoy it. As a family with ages ranging from 6 months to 97 years old it was perfect. Although there are stairs to the bedrooms and ground floor toilet my Grandma was able to navigate these without any problems. We will hopefully book again in the future.

“Brilliant house plenty room for 10 Adults and 4 children, every thing you needed the hot tub, games and cinema room are ideal kept the children and adults occupied, it was lovely that we could spend time altogether, local for a nice walk to beach and park children never said they were bored once and not a phone or computer all weekend.”

Tried to book straight up again but fully booked for time we want to go again, cannot find anything else that can come anywhere near

- Michelle, March 2022
Judy March 2022

“Green Tor is a magnificent house to stay in, it is enormous and comfortable and we had a fabulous short break in Scarborough.”

Despite its size, the house was cosy and we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the facilities were all clean and working. My 93 year old mother found it easy to get around but didn’t attempt the spiral staircase up to the cinema room. The rest of us loved the hot tub and the games room. The location was perfect for a walk in Peaseholm Park or to the beach and castle.

- Judy, March 2022
Anne February 2022

“An amazing house with everything you could possibly wish for, superb facilities , comfy beds, warm cosy living rooms, great location.”

This is the best large property we have stayed in just perfect for our full family get together to celebrate my nephews 40th birthday. We will definitely return.

- Anne, February 2022
Samantha February 2022

“What an amazing property, we stayed here for a 50th birthday celebration with friends and family ages from 16-79.”

Shelley December 2021

“As a large family we have had experience of many larger properties for family get togethers and we have concluded that this is the best one we have ever been to.”

Location was fantastic, the house was beautiful, well equipped and decorated tastefully. The facilities were all well used, enjoyed and greatly appreciated. A minor issue of a light not working was fixed in a timely way. This is the first time we will be re booking a property to return to. We loved it.

- Shelley, December 2021
Tim October 2021

“Excellent property and great location for a party of 11 (age range 4 to 70) for birthday celebrations.”

Plenty to do in the area and great facilities (games room, cinema room, large living areas) within.

- Tim, October 2021
Michael September 2021

“We enjoyed the whole experience, the location was perfect,I cannot think of one negative aspect, we were an extended family of 13 which included an age group of between 60plus down to 20 years of age.”

The whole group said unanimously that they would love to return.

- Michael, September 2021
Anne August 2021

“Our family of twelve with ages ranging from 21 months to 70 had the most wonderful time at Green Tor.”

We loved the house and all it had to offer. The games room and hot tub were a real bonus, especially the full size table tennis.. The location was great, with so much to do nearby. We had no complaints at all, it was brilliant!

- Anne, August 2021
Simon July 2021

“Twice used Sykes now and both properties have been immaculate.”

Green Tor is a fantastic house for large families to enjoy their holidays.

- Simon, July 2021
Helen May 2021

“A wonderful holiday home which met the high expectations set by the photos on the website.”

The facilities exceeded our expectations with a superb hot tub and excellent games room with full size table tennis table, pool table and the bonus of a home cinema above. The five children aged 4-14 would have been happy just staying at the house but the superb location meant the beach, water park and Peaseholm Park were all on our doorstop. There was a problem with one of the showers but the owners arranged for a plumber straight away. The perfect venue for a special multi-generation family holiday

- Helen, May 2021
Sacha April 2021

“Green Tor was perfect for a family holiday with teens.”

The house was large and lovely and perfect facilities for a large group. The recreational room at the back of the house was excellent. The house is located next to beautiful Peasholm Park where there is also a mini golf which the kids enjoyed. Also a 10 min walk to the North Bay beach. Enjoyed wonderful early morning walks on the beach and a cuppa overlooking the sea at Watermark Cafe. Perfect! All the kids had a blast. Happy memories made for all. Will definitely be back.

- Sacha, April 2021
M October 2020

“Our five nights at Green Tor was brilliant.”

The house is beautiful, furnished to a very high quality and has great facilities like the games room, hot tub and cinema, all of which we loved. We were just a family of four and the house sleeps 14, so we had a luxurious amount of space, but also found it very cosy and comfortable. The location opposite the park and just a few minutes walk from the North Beach is perfect. We had a couple of little issues getting the cinema to work and the heating in the games room, but these were fixed very quickly by the landlord when we texted him.

- M, October 2020

Elizabeth August 2020

“Couldn't get any reply from you about the effect of covid on our booking.”

You went incommunicado. I don't like that at all. Fortunately our holiday at the end of August was at a time when government rules were least against what we were doing. But if there had been more of a problem I wouldn't have wanted to deal with Sykes. The holiday itself was fine. The host was most accommodating, got an engineer out directly when the heating went wrong, had all the facilities, games hot tub, available for us. The house was lovely, with some new redecorating as well. Scarborough is a charming place.

- Elizabeth, August 2020
Paula July 2020

“We loved our time at Green Tor celebrating my daughters 21st.”

The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach, The accommodation was spotless and huge so a family of 10 with varying age ranges all had plenty of space and plenty to do. The only thing I regret is not booking for longer!

Michelle September 2019

“Fabulous house !”

! Great facilities !! The games room and cinema room kept my 2 boys entertained whilst the huge hot tub kept the adults entertained. Great kitchen with large table for breakfast, and equally large table in the separate dining room for our evening meals. The main lounge was comfortable with enough sofas / seats for everyone, whilst the little snug was great for my mum who liked the temperature a little hotter than everyone else, and with her own tv to watch her favourite programs. 7 bedrooms and not one of us felt like we had drawn the short straw. The top floor with the twin room and the kingsize with the jack and jill bathroom was great for me, my husband and my 2 boys. The location is great as well with a short stroll to the beach. I would definitely recommend this house for a family gathering.

Games room and cinema. Wow.There was nothing to find fault with at green tor.

- Patricia, August 2019
Elizabeth August 2019

“Well the house itself is a beautiful art deco mansion, and is also very well updated and decorated.”

One family member just wandered about saying, Wow, I really love this house. The games room was much enjoyed - snooker, darts, table tennis, also cricket on the beach. Access to the park, 2 minutes, beach, 5-10 minutes walk. With 7 large double bedrooms, 4 living rooms and 8 bathroom/toilets the house was plenty big enough for us 12. Hot tub was fine, but as the weather was lovely we didn't use it much. Parking is quite tight. Pretty garden with lawn/sitting out area. Not fully fenced. Equipment is sufficient for cooking and everything works. Lots of crockery and glasses. Big feature is the beach, quite close and very nice. Rock pools, warm lagoons, lots of flat sand and not too crowded. Swimming at high tide. The park has lots of attractions - dragon boats, pagoda, pitch and putt and a unique naval battle. Very pretty long glen. Castle is bigger than it looks, worth a visit. We visited Whitby but apart from that just enjoyed all the stuff in Scarborough.

- Elizabeth, August 2019
Matthew July 2019

“Fantastic holiday!”

Booking with Sykes with very simple and straightforward. The property was accurately detailed/listed and very clean when we arrived. This whole process exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend using Sykes Cottages for future holidays, as well as booking the Green Tor house in Scarborough

Rebecca March 2019

“The house is absolutely stunning!”

!!!! Everything you need is there to make your stay perfect. The games room, cinema room and hot tub made the kids holiday, we couldn’t get them out of the rooms. The park is literally across the road too. It’s very well looked after, the owners live next door which we found handy when we couldn’t get the oven working properly (our mistake, we had it on the wrong setting!!) they came around immediately and were lovely about it. My only criticism is although it is very clean, there are areas that did need slightly more attention. We would 100% return it was a perfect weeks holiday spent with the family.

“This cottage was amazing and actually exceeded our expectations!”

! I actually miss the cottage now I’m home!! The hot tub was amazing as was the whole place and so well located for everything too! South Bay is about 2 miles away - a fab walk round the bay!

“Fabulous property, just as described.”

Sykes were easy to deal with. House was amazing! Beautifully appointed and decorated. So spacious, the hot tub and the snooker/darts/table tennis room really popular with both the adults and the teenagers. Great location next to Peasholme Park, twenty minute stroll into Scarborough. Would highly recommend.

“The house is very well equipped, very spacious, and spotlessly clean.”

All bedrooms were decorated to a high standard, and beds were very comfortable. I have never slept so well on holiday! The kitchen was well stocked with crockery and cutlery, and everything worked. The only thing issue in the kitchen was the teapot, which pours all over the worktop, but this is only a minor complaint. The location of the house is superb, sitting next to Peasholm Park, and a 5 minute walk to the beach at North Bay. The road is very quiet, yet central and accessible.

“Absolutely fab and we've already booked for next year.”

There was one problem which was quite inconvenient and that was the oven, only 2 burners out of the 5 worked and the oven took ages to heat and did not reach the temperature required which was a major problem for me as I was making a Sunday lunch for 12 people as a celebration of my son's 30th Birthday. Other than that it was lovely. I think it would be a good idea to have a list of recommended restaurants and place to go for Sunday lunch and 'recommended' take away. There were take away menus but the one we used was not very nice at all, this of course has no refection on the property but would be a bonus and nice touch if there were personal recommendations. Thanks

“Green Tor is a superb property with great facilities - only negative is cupboard space in the kitchen which is limited.”

Apart from that small issue everything else was amazing. Plenty of space for a large family gathering and very clean and tidy. The hot tub, games room and cinema room were particular favourites for the family. Location was amazing being directly opposite Peasholme Park and a 5 minute walk to the beach. We would defnately recommend this property.

“What a brilliant weekend me and my friends have had at Green Tor.”

Everything you could wish for. Very spacious, all the bedrooms are great sizes, living room is such a sociable area with plenty of seating. Outside facilities are great, games room and the wonderful hot tub, didn't get a chance to use the cinema room but that looked amazing too. Would definitely recommend Green Tor.

“I loved the refurbishments, especially the new en-suites, the games room and hot tub.”

The house is very spacious, provides everything you need... and more! It's a great place for families to get-together with a gorgeous garden and a long private drive for many cars. It is in a lovely location over-looking Peasholme Park and only 5-10 minutes walk from shops, cafes and the sea.

About the location

SCARBOROUGH

Pickering 17 miles; Whitby 20 miles; York 40 miles.

Popular since Victorian times, the vibrant seaside town of Scarborough retains many of its original fine buildings, parks and gardens, as well as its historic castle which overlooks the town. North Bay and South Bay provide two superb stretches of beautiful, golden sandy beaches, popular with families and small children. There are a number of child friendly activities and many excellent visitor attractions for grown-ups too, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa and Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music. Scarborough is a great location for outdoor activities, with golf courses, lovely coastal walks along the Cleveland Way, stunning cycle routes such as the old railway to Whitby, beautiful sailing and championship quality surfing. Add to this all the usual seaside entertainment and bustling promenades located close to the beach and Scarborough is the destination with something for everyone. Ideally situated for touring the coastline and the moors, Scarborough is an ideal base for a fun-filled break.
