Now our third Stay. Warm and friendly. Good value, especially with the breakfast option. In an excellent location for both North & South Bay. Rooms are a good size and immaculately presented. The upper levels are only accessible via stairs but the owner made us aware of this before we committed to the booking. It is an older style property but with all the modern amenities you could require. Off street parking available too, but we have left our car parked up the last few times due to the fact there are great bus and train links to nearby Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Filey, Pickering, York etc,etc if you fancy a day out and maybe a glass or two of something. Close to Scarborough Open Air Theater, so only a 10 minute stroll to your gig, Peasholm Park on the doorstep, Sea Life Centre and the new Aquamare swimming pool all within easy reach as you take in some sea views on the way. Great views due to it's elevated position, but it is a gentle easy walk up from beach level. Howdale is situated at the quieter North Bay, but this has a great beach and plenty places to eat, drink and get beach supplies. If you wan the more bustling South Bay then it is a 10 min walk over the castle direction (a much shorter route than you would think) or a 40min very gentle stroll along the sea level Marine Parade. There are also regular open top buses if you fancy that. All in all Howdale has now become our go to for our trips to Scarborough because for price, location and welcome I think you would struggle to find better

The wife and I stayed in this spotlessly clean lovely traditional B&B for two nights. Near to everything we needed to see and do. We was greeted by the most lovely lady and owner Louisa. She made us feel so welcome, and went out of her way to make sure our breakfast was perfect and it was just that. We even had our breakfast with another guest the famous Dickie Bird, whom we had a selfie with. We will most definitely be coming back the next time we want a mini break in the lovely sunny Scarborough ☀️😊👍👍

Just had a 2 night stay at Howdale in Scarborough, my wife and I fully enjoyed our time here, the room was a Premium double on the third floor and the view was fantastic out to sea and a pair of binoculars were part of the package so you could have a real nosey around the north bay, the room was spotless and included both a bath and large shower with complimentary shower gels, shampoo and soap it looked like the bathroom was recently refurbished. The bed was huge and very comfortable with 2 firm pillows on each side so we had a great 2 nights sleep. You got a small fridge with complimentary water and a generous tray of tea coffee hot chocolate and biscuits that was replenished for our second day. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices to suit all including vegetarians, overall we had a great 2 night stay and would recommend to anyone who wants a nice clean b and b in a great location.

In a quiet spot, overlooking North Bay, with stunning views, on site parking, free WIFI and the perfect location for the Open Air Theatre. Louisa was a great hostess, even contacted us prior to our stay to ensure we were happy with the room booked as it was on the 4th floor and there was no lift. The bedroom was a touch on the small side, however, it did have an ensuite, toiletries included, a well stocked tea tray and the beds were super comfy. The hotel is spotlessly clean, efficiently run and serves a fantastic breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Faultless, come and go as you please. Breakfast more than ample selection, quantity and quality exceptional (mysterious chef never seen him, KEVIN). Louisa, great host nothing to much bother and a mind of information, even the dog was friendly.
