Top South Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Crown Spa Hotel Scarborough by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Would stay again as it was clean and tidy with friendly staff."

Rivelyn Hotel Bar & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed at this hotel numerous times and have always enjoyed my visits. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The ensuite showers are great. The downstairs bar is open until 11pm and serves great food until 8pm. They also offer a cheap breakfast that's very good quality. The only downside is that the location is on a slight uphill climb, and it's not accessible. It's only a 10 min walk from Scarborough train station. The hotel is dog friendly. The staff are really accommodating and friendly."

The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection

"A lovely dog friendly hotel with great dog washing facilities and close to the beach. An absolute pleasure"

Dickens Bar and Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay and great breakfast too. Incredibly quiet and comfy."

Albemarle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Jonathan went out of his way to meet/greet/help. Central location in what is still a very pleasant square with echoes of its genteel origins. The property looks like a knocked through terrace. The rooms have been freshened and made over to give a kooky feel, so every room is different. All the sanitary ware and core fittings are ancient but spotless. Basically, a good makeover of a tired interior, offering comfort and very reasonable value. We were a group of 5 pals with very different tastes but were pretty aligned on this! A good little find"

Riviera Town House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean and great value for money."
