"It was ok but not luxurious. I would not expect a luxury hotel to provide very basic and cheap toilet paper in your bathroom. Or a full breakfast to include streaky bacon and no baked beans. The Beach House felt like a leisure centre. Enjoyable stay but not value for money."

"A once grand hotel now showing it's age, the exterior could do with renovating as it looks untidy on first impression. Walk in and the interior is so much better, the staff are excellent and our room was very good. This is good hotel to stay at, the only drawback being the walk up and down the hill to and from Scarborough itself, but we were very satisfied with our stay"
