Sheila and William were very welcoming and very good with our 3 year old. The location is great as its only a short walk to north beach which in my opinion is better than the south beach. The room and facilities were very clean and wouldn't look to go anywhere else if we were to go to Scarborough again. Parking was just outside on the street which was £2 all day which you buy at the apartment. Overall 10 out of 10!
