Top Scarborough Open Air Theatre Hotel Reviews

The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection

The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in an ideal location away from the busy crowds with a lovely sea view. The room we had was on the top floor which I prefer but there is no lift so lots of climbing which with luggage gets the heart going! The room was clean and plenty big enough for us 3. There is a free car park which is a bonus but is very tight to get into and a short walk from the property."

"Lovely stay! Staff extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. Property was clean. Lovely breakfast for ‘continental’. We had a loft room which was extremely warm during the heatwave. Luckily we didn’t bring the dogs as it would have been too warm for them despite providing a fan. This was the only down fall, luckily we didn’t go in the peak heat and it wouldn’t put us off going again."
