"The staff were really friendly and helpful. The golf buggy taking us from the beach house to the main hotel was great for my elderly mum. Room was spacious and airy and had a lovely terrace. Food in the pizzeria was mediocre- had to send cold and dry pasta dish back - but the food in the brasserie was excellent and breakfasts were lovely!"

The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good
"Stopped for just one night, check in was okay. We had a room on the 3rd floor, the lift only goes as far as the 2nd, so worth noting if you struggle with stairs. Our room was at the rear of the property, so the 'view" was of the poorly maintained properties sof which sadly there are plenty in Scarborough so not fantastic. Room was sufficient for one night, bathroom was modern with a walk in rain shower. Breakfast had plenty of choices of fruit, cereal and pastries. Unfortunately the cooked breakfast was from a hot counter, freshly cooked would have been so much nicer."

10/10 Excellent
"We arrived late on a Friday evening but were welcomed straight away. Shown straight to our rooms with an explanation of where the bathroom was, that we had a private entrance, and how breakfast worked. The room was very spacious almost and was almost like us having our own little apartment minus the kitchen facilities. Breakfast was nice and your pre ordered the cooked option, it the night before. Cereal, fresh fruit and yogurt was also available. The grounds were lovely and my daughter loved the tree swing. So much character to the house too which makes it a lovely stay. We will definitely stay again when we visit the east coast."
