Jamie is a friendly, considerate host who goes well out of his way to make sure you’re happy – even little things like marking on a map where the best chippy and pubs... More

Spotlessly clean, modern and stylish - that's the Almar. I have stayed here over night on two occasions and I have been delighted with all aspects of your guest house.Both bedrooms I have slept in have been recently decorated.The decor and soft furnishings are tasteful and stylish. Well done Jamie and Michelle

This B&B was excellent value for money, lovely cooked breakfast and spotlessly clean throughout. Very friendly and helpful hosts Jamie and Michelle - thanks for helping to make our short stay a happy and memorable one. There are many similar guest houses (with regard to facilities and room size) in Scarborough but not all are run to the same high... More

I spent a few days in Scarborough and this B&B was really fantastic: very clean and confy rooms, very good location (walking distance to the beach and the town centre), excellent breakfast. Above all, the owners (Jamie and Michelle) are very friendly and helpful and make you feel like at home. I will surely come back again!

Have just returned from a stay of 2 nights at the Almar. Can only echo what others have said here - friendly & efficient owners; clean, well decorated room and excellent food. Originally booked just for 1 night with the intention of moving on to stay in Whitby the next night- but as this is by far the best B&B... More
