The Crown Hotel in Scarborough is part of an elegant Regency terrace, which occupies a magnificent position on the South Cliff. The hotel faces out to sea with uninterupted views across Scarborough Bay, and immediately in front of the hotel is the long Esplinade: perfect for a gentle stroll to take in the fresh sea breezes. The hotel is 3-star and attractively furnished with good facilities, which include a reception lounge, two bars and an excellent restaurant. There are also full leisure facilities with a swimming pool, steam room, aroma room, spa tub, sauna, and solarium. Bedrooms have a private bathroom, colour television, direct dial telephone, and tea and coffee making facilities and there is a lift to alll floors. Although there is not a program of organised evening entertainment at the hotel, Dragonfly will organise some evenings of quizzes and games in a private lounge.

We have some interesting days in store for you in Yorkshire's beautiful coastline and countryside. On one of the days, we follow the coastline road along the craggy, scenic coastline up to the little fishing port of Whitby, setting for the spine chilling story of 'Dracula'. We stop for a relaxing lunch by the old fishing harbour and visit the new centre at Whitby Abbey. We shall also be travelling into the wilds of the Yorkshire Moors, stopping at the little moorland village of 'Aidensfield' where Heartbeat' is filmed. We also visit the fascinating Ryedale Folk Museum in the charming village of Hutton-le-Hole where we stop to browse the little shops and enjoy a home-cooked lunch at the friendly Barn Hotel. There will also be free time to relax, enjoy the hotel and its leisure facilities, with the coach available to take you down to the shopping centre and harbour.

On the final day we stop for a relaxing lunch on the way home. As always, all excursions, entrance fees, and lunches out at charismatic local inns, hotels and tearooms are included in the cost of your holiday including lunch on the last day on our journey home.
