I had an excellent time whilst staying at The Gordon in Scarborough. Lawrence and his family have an excellent property 6 minutes drive from the seafront. The hotel itself has a home from home vibe and is very clean and presentable. The breakfast was excellent and the room was comfortable and warm. Lawrence was very welcoming and it was a pleasure meeting him and his lovely family. Roll on 2025 when we can do it all again.Thanks for the memories Lawrence,Best wishes,Paul and Nicola (room 4)

This is a lovely hotel, tucked away on North Bay. It is ideally located for Peasholme Park and for the Open Air Theatre. 5 minute lovely stroll down a hill but a little more challenging on the way back up, but we survived. …
