Best Hotels near North Yorkshire Water Park, Scarborough District

My wife and I stayed at The Grand back on 25/03/22 and we were so impressed that we just had to return. The staff are still helpful and friendly, the food is excellent and the room we stayed in was impressive. It was clean, comfy and had just been decorated and fitted with a power shower. The seagulls on our window sill could be quite noisy, but remember we are at the seaside! We paid £200 in total for bed, breakfast and evening meal, which I found to be excellent value. Disregard all the negative reports that you read about this hotel, make a visit and decide for yourself. Perhaps, if these people want 5 star, that will have to pay 5 star prices. We will certainly be visiting The Grand again.

When I arrived at the Granby Hotel in Scarborough I was a little disappointed, the exterior and communal areas looked neglected and tired. The reception and seating area reminded me of a working men's club! I booked in and I was given my room key. I stayed in room 5, a twin room, this was one of the few rooms available in Scarborough for that night. The room, bedding and towels were clean and smelt fresh. I settled down to watch TV but was distracted by another guests mobile phone - every time they received a message I could hear their phone buzzing and vibrating in the next room - this was a regular occurrence for over three hours. The walls are thin! Thankfully the buzzing stopped before I settled down to sleep. At around 11pm the hotel went quiet; it was peaceful and calm, I fell asleep easily. I woke once in the night aching as I sleep on my front or side and the mattress was firm, so I woke; hips, shoulders and lower back aching. Eventually I fell back to sleep and in the morning l woke feeling quite rested. The morning was similar to the evening you could hear other guests moving around, their conversations and them taking a shower! The bathroom in the twin room is small, but functional, the shower definitely wasn't a power shower! I would stay at The Granby Hotel again. There is parking to the side and rear of the hotel. The majority of the parking is pay and display with a couple of disabled bays (you still have to pay). If you have a Yorkshire County Council parking disc there is two hours free parking in bays at the side of the Granby Hotel. Yorkshire County Council parking discs are available from a number of retailers in the town and are free - they allow free parking in certain areas of the town for a limited time.

We have stayed here several times over the years and have always had a great time; this time was no exception. We came to surprise my mum who was staying at the hotel for her birthday. the staff did a great job of keeping the secret and went out of their way to make sure we were all booked in for dinner together, got breakfast together etc. We were lucky to get a room upgrade, which was lovely! Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It faced out to the garden, which was really nice. Everything about our weekend was good - the room, the food, the ambiance and particularly the staff, who without exception were friendly, helpful and kind. I have no doubt that we'll be back again soon...!

Nice clean room Central location secure parking nearby Bed comfortable Shower excellent good flow and hot Disappointed with No USB to charge my phone, it went flat just lucky my Mrs had her credit csrds

Great pub in a great location near Scarborough and the Cleveland Way. Comfortable rooms, clean bathrooms, and provisions, including tea, coffee, biscuits, water, shampoo, and shower gel, are restocked daily. Really friendly and helpful staff, who went out of their way to help when the twin room we thought we had booked did not exist, and we needed breakfast earlier than the start time as we were leaving early to walk the Cleveland Way. Please note that if you are booking a room through a third party website, they all advertise the Blacksmiths Arms as having twin rooms when they do not. And breakfast is served from 8.30am. Overall, a very pleasant stay in a lovely pub.
