Pub & Entertainment

The Dickens Bar & Inn combines a pub and accommodation under one roof, a format recognised as a STAR PUB AWARDS FINALIST 2019. Live entertainment events are hosted regularly on-site, ranging from music to themed nights. The bar offers a wide selection of drinks and is fitted with multiple screens showing sports, though the restaurant and guest floors are separated to keep noise away from rooms.

Accommodation & Rooms

The hotel offers varied room options including Standard Double, Economy Double, and Twin rooms, each with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and daily housekeeping. All rooms have been newly refurbished and include a hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities, and heating. A lift serves all three floors, and a secure swipe-card system controls access to the accommodation areas.

Location & Nearby

Situated 100 metres from Scarborough town centre and 400 metres from Scarborough Beach, the inn is within a 10-minute walk of Peasholm Park and Scarborough Castle. The Scarborough Spa is 700 metres away, and the train station is a 10-minute walk. Discounted parking permits for nearby locations are offered to guests, reducing the cost of street parking.

Dining & Breakfast

A full English breakfast is served each morning on the first floor, cooked fresh to order and included in the room rate. The bar provides a variety of dining and drink options throughout the day, though no evening meals are prepared on-site. Guests can choose from many restaurants nearby, including a Mediterranean eatery next door and a Chinese restaurant two streets away.

Practicalities

Daily housekeeping services are provided, and the property offers a lift for easy access to upper floors. The hotel has smoke alarms and fire extinguishers on each floor, and a bar on the ground floor is open until 1:30am on weekends. Check-in is quick, and keys are returned simply at departure, with no deposit required upon booking.
