Great stay in Scarborough
Lovely modern apartment in great, bustling part of Scarborough, everything is literally on your doorstep. The place was modern and clean. It did miss some of the personal touches that can make a place feel welcoming on arrival however (including no batteries in the tv remote and no handsoap in the bathroom) but overall it was a really nice place to stay. There is also a hidden drawer in the kitchen with all the cutlery in which we were unaware of, which created an element of panic on the first night having made dinner! The lovely locals were able to advise us of the infamous hidden drawer though thankfully.
