Lovely clifftop hotel with the most stunning views of Scarborough's North Bay. Room was very clean upon check-in, only flaw was no housekeeping but they would come clean your room and replenish anything if you request for it. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. Would definitely stay there again and ensure I book an oceanfront room.

Would have liked a sea view but as I spent much time outside as possible, it was not missed a lot ! I think I misunderstood arrangements for breakfast,( I was a room only booking) I thought I could go to restaurant and pay for a meal, there and then but not so? Really nothing to to complain about! I enjoyed my short stay and hope to return before too long. Any Staff I met ( with one exception) were cheerful and helpful! Thank You Folks!

Helpful friendly staff. Large clean room with good facilities. Walkable to everything and regular bus sevice to south bay. Near Peaseholm park and sea life centre. You can reserve a parking place at the hotel at an extra cost but you pay for parking everywhere so we were pleased with this. Would definitely stay here again.
