We’ve had a lovely stay with Raincliffe. Very welcoming hosts, happy to chat and share useful information. We had a really comfortable stay in a lovely room, with a much needed fan!

Excellent coffee and breakfast. Would highly recommend. We booked a concert at the Open Air Theatre and walked there and back. Thank you for hosting, we had a great weekend.

We had a pleasant overnight stay at the Raincliffe Hotel. The room was lovely & clean. Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate & Biscuits were a lovely treat to have. The room was extremely hot due to the heat wave we were having but the owner was so kind to allow us an additional fan to try to be as comfortable as possible despite the heat. Shower was spotless & decent. So were the beds. Breakfast was superb! Again the staff on hand were really lovely & bent over backwards to give us a lovely stay. I will definitely consider this hotel again for future stays as it was conveniently only a short walk to the sea front & Prominade.

Our family had a truly wonderful stay at this charming and welcoming hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home thanks to the warm hospitality of the staff. Each morning began with a delicious full English breakfast, complete with quality coffee and cheerful service that set a positive tone for the day.

The location was perfect for our family — just a pleasant 10-minute walk to the beach, which our kids absolutely loved. It was the ideal base for a relaxing and enjoyable seaside getaway.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return here again in the future!

I had a one night stay here in a twin room and it was fantastic. The location was ideal and everything was clean and tidy. Our room was ready when we arrived around 12 so we checked in and then went off to explore Scarborough. The full English cooked set is up for the day too. All in all a great B&B which is highly recommended.

This property is very clean and well organized, almost to the the point of feeling parochial. There are lots of rules, as, apparently, previous guests have behaved badly and now we all have to be quite careful to mind our ‘P&Q’s. The detail orientation and efficiency is appreciated, but may need to be balanced a bit with generosity and warmth of feeling. I felt a bit as if I’d have a nice stay as long as I didn’t ’mess up’. This is a difficult balance and the operators seem to really invested in the success of the hotel, but my hope would be their precision will lay the groundwork for warmth - and that others who stay won’t ‘mess it up’. I wish them the best.

A lovely family run hotel

We stayed here in a family room for the weekend. Great location, 30 minutes walk to most attractions, and only 5-10 minutes to the beach.

Family room was spacious, well equipped and warm. The breakfasts in the morning were plentiful with a lot of choice.

The pool table and on site bar is a great quiet place to relax. Despite the hotel being full, we didn't hear any other rooms at night, and everyone slept very well.

On street parking was great, right outside the hotel and there was always a space available.
