I particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches, like games in the bar area and the focus on a hearty breakfast, readying guests for a day exploring the nearby attractions. It seems like a solid base for experiencing Scarborough's coastal vibe.”

Charming Stay by the Sea

friendly staff wide selection free bag storage
The staff was very friendly. The breakfast included a wide selection of foods, all freshly cooked. Helen was wonderful! I appreciated the free bag storage after checkout, so I could explore without carrying my luggage. The hotel appears newly renovated. It looks clean and fresh.
The bar prices seemed high, I paid £14 for a G&T and a small red wine!
