We will likely return
Liked: Clean, good location, walking distance to everything from the high street to South Bay to Scarborough Castle! The room and bathroom was clean and well organised. Key-card access to the inner building so only residents/employees could actually get in. Good continental breakfast options and breakfast ran during reasonable hours so we didn’t have to get up mega-early to still enjoy the food. Parking was easy enough to manage. Dog friendly and, although we don’t have a dog ourselves, we do adore them so that brought an extra element of joy to our stay. Room and hotel very well themed - there are bikes and bike parts as well as boots of different varieties throughout the hotel areas.
Disliked: No outward signs on the building to identify the hotel, only realised we had found it after pulling up and looking up the name of their restaurant which IS named on the building. Did not appreciate the £25 hold for a mini-bar that we did not want or know about & the guy who was at check-in was a bit abrupt about it “everyone just pays it”. My partner and I were on a tight budget so it meant we had to be even more frugal than originally anticipated.

Perfect stay for dog lovers
Liked: The thoughtful little extras just make this place so good. We stayed in a suite with our two dogs which was situated with its own entrance off the street which was ideal. The suite was spacious and it was good that the main bedroom had a door to separate it off and keep the doggos out. The rooms are equipped with a mini bar and a lovely lavazza coffee machine with fresh milk in the fridge each mornings. I liked how the shower room had complimentary shampoo and conditioner as well as shower gel and hand wash and hand cream. Shower was powerful with a rainfall shower head too.The super king bed was really comfortable with an additional tv in the bedroom as well as in the living area. There was a hairdryer and iron and ironing board too. The main hotel area was so cosy. The staff were really friendly and made time to chat and fuss the dogs. There was complementary tea and coffee (and cake at 4pm). The other guests all seemed so likeminded and with the majority also having dogs with them created a lovely community of people. We ate lunch in the Bareca restaurant and it was absolutely amazing food. Selection of drinks were vast.Hotel is set in a beautiful elevated location. There is a little park to the left of the hotel which is especially handy for letting the dogs out on a morning. Only a 5 min walk to the beach which was lovely and quiet with a few other dog walkers again such lovely people we spoke to.I did notice that there were guests that had been many times before - I can see why. Fully equipped dog washing and grooming facilities on site and little extras like poop bags and dog treats were also free. Can’t wait to return later in the year.
Disliked: Our room was slightly lower ground floor so there was no view from our room at all. I didn’t specify a sea view room when booking but there is that option. Didn’t make too much difference because we were only in the room on an evening when it was dark anyway and the blinds were closed.

A perfect spot for a...
Liked: A return to this hotel for our second valentines. Had really lovely evening meals in the Bareca. The breakfast buffet was nice. Nice room with the best shower, and gorgeous views. Everything you would need in the room to feel at home.
Disliked: Pillows a little thinner than we like, but we could have requested extra. Had a very yappy dog that woke us up early in the room below- which made sure we got up early to enjoy the day
