“Clifton Hotel strikes me as a reliably solid choice in Scarborough, particularly appealing to families and those traveling with pets given its proximity to the beach and pet-friendly policies. The recent renovations, particularly in the bathrooms, suggest a commitment to modern comfort, while the on-site Castle Restaurant aims to deliver quality Yorkshire dishes. All in all, it seems a strategically located and thoughtfully appointed base for exploring the area.”
