The Thoresby Guest House Scarborough

I had higher expectations for this place given the "exceptional" aggregate rating. Sadly, though the experience was mostly adequate, it was far less than other guest houses at which I have stated. On the plus side, the property is well located on the northern end of town and boasts lovely views of the water. It is mostly quiet, though the walls are thin. The room, although sufficient, was a bit dated and showing some signs of wear and tear. Cleanliness could be improved (the TV remote, for example, had visible dirt between the keys). Note also there is no cleaning service during the stay The biggest area of improvement would be the shared bathroom. It is quite small to use as a shower and oddly lacks hooks, shelves, or other spaces for towels and a change of clothes (aside from one small ring for a hand towel). The infrared light at night was also insufficiently calibrated to illuminate the hall. For longer-term guests, touching base at some point to make sure all is ok would help with good will. Aside from check-out, the only other contact was a very kind check-in, which went a long way in leaving a better impression.

We booked Thoresby Guest House as it was within 20 mins walking distance of Scarborough Open Air Theatre. We were given a warm welcome by Deania, manager of the Thoresby and shown our room. It was perfect for our needs. We had a view of the North Bay and a really comfy bed. Deania showed us a couple of other rooms in the morning as we checked out. There are room options for all party sizes. Thanks for a lovely stay. We would definitely book again.

This guest house is one of the cleanest properties I have stayed in. Rooms are compact, but comfortable. The shared bathroom isn’t really shared as a lot of the rooms have en-suite, so don’t let it put you off if that is the only room available. The towels provided are thick and fluffy. Deania the host is very welcoming and will make sure you are happy.

Good comfortable room but small

Spotlessly clean. D who met us when we arrived was lovely & very welcoming. Room was small but really clean.

Great location, easy to walk to north beach but also, town centre and south beach are close enough to walk to. For the price I paid I wasn’t expecting too much but this guesthouse has everything you might need and more for a few days away, it’s very clean and the rooms are spacious and well organised. The staff was super nice and my double bed was one of the best I’ve ever slept on! I would definitely go back!

Really clean and great value for money

The host was friendly and nice.The room was clean and warm bed very comfortable the shower was nice and hot.

Very Clean and comfortable but shower head broken and had to hold it up with one hand all the time

Nice guest house, stayed 1 night for a short break in Scarborough. Tim had great communication explained everything very helpful and made sure we were OK and happy. Had everything we need clean and good location close to castle and beach. Just short walk in to the center. Thanks. We would stay again.
