As usual we enjoyed our holiday at Scoresby House, the position is great but it is looking a little tired and needs a new mattress! Traffic noise and noise from the boatyard can be a problem but otherwise everything is good.

Had a lovely stay, there was a dirty tea cloth of the radiator when we arrived. The walls could do with a freshen up as some dirt and scuffs but we had a lovely stay, the facilities were great and location was perfect.
