Beautiful view of the Yorkshire coast. Scarborough is quite hilly so the easiest way to get from the town to the beach is with one of the tramways and you get rewarded with amazing views.  

Once a water powered funicular railway the South Cliff lift is now electric and costs a couple of pounds.

7.4/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
Lovely hotel, it was very quiet, given it was March but a 25 minute wait for someone to come and serve in the bar seemed excessive- just didn’t seem to have staff about the place. Beach view was great and room very big. Great location if you can find a spot to park your car.
