The Almar - 3-Star Hotel in Scarborough, England

The Almar sits just a 2-minute walk from Peasholm Park and a 5-minute walk from the sandy North Bay beach. Scarborough Castle is within easy walking distance, and the town centre and rail station are reachable in 10 minutes on foot. Free on-site parking is provided with a permit from the hosts, covering one vehicle per room.

Each room includes a private en suite bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and a daily replenished hospitality tray with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, bottled water, and chocolate biscuits. The property offers a range of room types including single rooms, double rooms, twin rooms, and superior double rooms. A stair-lift is available for guests with mobility needs, and rooms are kept to high cleanliness standards.

A complimentary full English breakfast is served each morning in the bright dining area, with orders taken the night before for made-to-order cooking. Breakfast options include fresh fruit salad, yogurt, cereals, and special items like croissants with brie and bacon or John's fried bread. Guests with dietary requirements such as gluten-free or vegan are accommodated with advance notice.

The Almar's licensed bar has flexible opening hours and offers a wide selection of drinks, including signature cocktails and gins, at reasonable prices. The hosts organize engaging social events that create a community feel among guests, and the bar area is open for evening relaxation and conversation. Takeaway food can be brought in and eaten in the bar, though fish and chips are not permitted.

Guests can walk to Peasholm Park for boating and gardens, or to the North Bay beaches for seaside walks. The Open Air Theatre is a 5-minute walk away, and both Scarborough Castle and the town centre are close by.
