Stayed at the norbreck hotel 10th-13th of May. We found the hotel very comfortable and most welcoming. The staff are very helpful ,and a special mention to Louise the manageress who nothing seemed to be too much of a bother. The hotel itself was a bit tired in places and could do with a bit of a sprucing up. Our... More

The hotel was clean but needs refurbishing and updating. Waiting staff need to go on customer service course. The food was not good and small amounts (I'm not a big eater and went to bed hungry).

Thank you for your positive comments about the hotel and staff, they were all pleased to hear them. The power cut did cause a bit of a blip in service but as you say we managed it well and I believe everyone still got some cooked breakfast.

We stayed at the Norbreck as we have spent a lot of good holidays in Shearings Hotels and expected this to be of the same standards. Upon arrival we could not get into our room until late due to someone having an accident but was compensated with a free drink. The room was very basic and our bed was the... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Standing on the headland, near Scarborough's ancient castle ruins, the Norbreck is the only hotel in town which looks out over both the North and South Bays, with breathtaking panoramic sea view. From this peaceful location you can rest in the convivial atmosphere of the bar lounge or in the comfort of the restaurant and savour the scenic sights of golden sands and ocean waters. In the hub of the town itself, lying just ten minutes' away, there is an array of shops and holiday attractions. While a day trip takes you to York or to see the moors, to test your nerves at Flamingo Land or to revisit 'Brideshead' at Castle Howard. There's such a lot to see and do in the area! The hotel does not have a car park. However street parking is available nearby. ... more   less
