As you wander up the wide staircases to the first and second floors, you will be welcomed by fabulous, stained glass windows streaming bursts of vivid colour into the large landing areas. These wonderful period features of the building can be seen in parts throughout, from the grand fireplace and oak wood panelling in the formal dining room to the large bay windows overlooking the gardens outside. For entertainment during your stay, head to the converted garage and into the games and cinema room, and enjoy some quality leisure time. For a more relaxing end to an evening, turn on the hot tub and soak in the warm bubbles in a more secluded area of the garden. Head out the door and within a short walk find the popular Scarborough Open Air Theatre, where you can catch your favourite artists performing live shows throughout the summer.
