Norbreck Hotel

Between two bays, above it all.

The only hotel in Scarborough that looks out over both the North and South Bays — a Victorian house on the clifftop with panoramic sea views from its elevated position high above the shore.

Why the Norbreck

A clifftop address with a sea view from almost everywhere

Set in a period building with a bright conservatory frontage, the Norbreck stands on the headland between Scarborough's two bays — guests wake up to sweeping views across the water, and the hotel bar and lounge make the most of the same outlook.

Reviewers come for the location and the welcome: an easy walk down to the South Bay, Scarborough Castle minutes away, and staff who, in guests' own words, go above and beyond.
