We stayed here for a five night break and could not have made a better choice, not having been to Scarborough before. From the time we arrived we were made to feel at home and nothing was too much trouble.We had a double room, which although not huge, was very comfortable and well-equipped with all we needed and the most comfortable bed I think we have ever had in a hotel, also spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were superb, with plenty of choice and served by friendly & helpful staff at all times.
The few simple, common-sense rules applied by the hotel ensured that all guests had a safe, relaxing stay in a quiet and friendly environment. Would have no hesitation in staying again on another visit. We are an'over 65' married couple, just for the record!

We stayed for 3 days and found the Raincliffe Hotel to have a very high standard of furnishings and to have a top notch standard of cleanliness. The full English breakfasts are huge and very nicely cooked and presented. Both owners go out of their way to be friendly and to make their guests stay as comfortable as possible. What more could anybody ask?
On the downside. We found it very niggling to find various small amounts of cash added to our bill. For example; we paid by credit card and had to pay £7.50 on top of the £243 bill. Debit cards also attract an extra charge - only cash is free! Evening meals are a fixed price (£12 for 2 courses) but if you want a coffee it’s an extra £2.50. They provide parking tickets for on-road parking outside the hotel - an extra £4! Although the August tariff says £32 - look closely it says 'from' - we paid £36 per night each!! We found all this to be very petty and disappointing. Why don't they just say £40 per night and cover everything? We would certainly feel better. Adding the bits feels like a rip-off!

Looking for a good place to stay in Scarborough? You do not need to look further than The Raincliffe

I stayed at the Raincliffe for nearly 2 weeks and I enjoyed it very much.
The rooms were clean and tidy and very nicely furnished. Excellent !!!
Mal and Katherine are a nice couple that would do anything to make their customers happy !
The breakfast was very good and the dinners were excellent, Mal is a very good chef!
When I stayed at The Raincliffe it felt like home !
The Raincliffe is a hidden gem of hotels in england.
If you stay at The Raincliffe you surely want to come back.
I will certinaly come back!!!

The service was great, the food is brill. This is now the fourth time we have been back and will definately be going back again and again. We now have two great friends mal and katherine the owners. The hotel is about 5-10 minutes walk from the beach and town centre. Everyone is so friendly.

The weather was dreadful however we were most fortunate to have booked at the Raincliffe. We were able to come back at any time during the day and how lucky we were. The hotel/guest house is spotless and very welcoming. Katherine and Malcolm were always happy to give advice and oh! those breakfasts. I managed to eat all my four breakfasts but I'm afraid my wife fell by the wayside. We could not eat anything else until we had dinner. The choice and quality was excellent and we had no need to trail around looking for a decent place to have our evening meal.A word of advice though. Do not go to the Music Hall at the Spa. We found it over-priced and embarrassing although the company did their best to entertain.We intend to come back to the Raincliffe again and will certainly recommend it.

Accomodation excellent clean warm comfortable little extra touches ie cotton wool balls in glass container small bottles of shampoo body lotion etc in the bathroom tissues in fancy box all made us feel at home . Katherine and Malcom made us so welcome nothing was too much trouble, Both excell at cooking ,breakfast huge includes cereals fruit/fruit juice cooked full breakfast toast coffee tea,one had such choice.
we will visit again and will recommend the hotel to friends /relatives.
Thankyou to both of you we enjoyed our visit and your company long may you continue.Doreen and Frank Hinde.

When you're booking a few days' break in a place you don't know well, you have to browse on the internet and then take a chance. Our chance choice was the Raincliffe Hotel - and what a happy chance it was! It was welcoming, relaxed, and spotlessly clean . . . and it was just a short stroll down the road (through very pleasant gardens) to the seafront. It really did feel like home for a few days - a warm home, too, in chilly October! The owners are enthusiastic about meeting their guests' every need. If we are in Scarborough again, the Raincliffe's where we'll be.
