Scarborough is Yorkshire’s seaside charmer, complete with beautiful beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, a pretty harbour, natural spring waters, and a castle! It’s the largest centre on the Yorkshire coast, and has been an understandably popular seaside resort since the mid-17th century. It used to be that all the best places to stay in Scarborough were waterfront properties — guesthouses, B&Bs, and large historic hotels — but these days visitors will find far more variety.
Some of our Scarborough collections:
Scarborough Castle is situated on a rocky headland overlooking the sea, with Scarborough Beach on one side and North Bay on the other. In between is Marine Drive, a Victorian promenade where you will find the pedestrian zone and the market hall. The town also has many landmarks from its heyday as a seaside resort in the late Georgian and Victorian eras, including the lighthouse at Scarborough Pier, an Anglican church adorned with paintings by Santa Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Ford Madox Brown, the Town Hall, the Rotunda Museum and Scarborough Spa. For families, there is Peasholm Park and Northstead Manor Gardens, where there is a miniature railroad, boating lake, waterslide and outdoor theater. Scarborough also has a Sea Life Centre.
Don't forget that the best places to stay in Scarborough are very busy during the peak summer months. Book early to avoid disappointment!
