Lady at check in and out was lovely, gave us extra tea and milk when I asked.
Didn’t have breakfast so couldn’t comment.
Room was lovely and clean.
Being at south end of Scarborough is the best end to stop some lovely walking up and down the hill and close to the funicular lift if needed.
We were able to park close to hotel on Granville street at no cost which is a plus to us .

Perfect little hotel for a coastal getaway. The room was cosy but ideal for a short break. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the place was spotless. Perfect location in the quieter end of town, but within really easy walking distance to the busy bits. Gorgeous views around the corner overlooking the town, and there's the cliff lift right nearby for the journey back up the hill if you need it.

Convenient for town centre. Friendly reception, however an earlier check in would have been preferred, I think a 16:00 check in is a bit late.
