Amenities

Riviera Town House operates with a Visit England 4-star rating and provides a 24-hour guest lounge with an open fireplace and views of South Bay. Guests receive a parking permit for approximately £7 covering a day and a half. The lounge is accessible at all hours.

Rooms

Each bright, airy guest room includes a flat-screen TV with Freeview and a luxury hospitality tray with teas, coffee, and hot chocolate. Some rooms are front facing with partial sea views. All rooms are en suite and feature a hairdryer, ironing facilities, and a trouser press.

Dining

An award-winning traditional full English breakfast is made using locally sourced free-range eggs, bacon, and sausages. Breakfast is served in a tea-room style dining room with staff providing attentive table service. Guests consistently rate the breakfast as excellent.

Location

Riviera Town House sits metres from South Bay Beach, the Spa Cliff Lift, and the town centre with restaurants, cafes, and theatres. The Victorian tramway to the beach operates nearby. Whitby, Filey, and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park are within easy reach.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

The hotel offers diverse room options including classic doubles, twins, and small double en-suites that suit families. Guests receive ear defenders on request because seagulls and kittiwakes nest on the nearby Grand Hotel. A 200-year-old manual lift provides access to all floors except the breakfast room.

Highlights

Rating: Visit England 4-star bed and breakfast

Breakfast: Award-winning full English with local ingredients

Rooms: Choose from classic double, twin, or small double en-suite

Location: Steps from South Bay Beach and Spa Cliff Lift

Parking: On-street permit at £7 for day and a half

Family extras: Ear defenders and diverse room options

“This establishment makes a strong impression with its remarkably comfortable beds and a breakfast that consistently earns high praise, even receiving an award at one point. Its central positioning is a definite plus, placing guests within easy reach of Scarborough's amenities, though the absence of an in-house bar might be a consideration for those preferring an evening nightcap on-site.”
