3-star Scarborough guest house with North Bay sea views
Amenities
Howdale offers free private parking on site for guests arriving by car. The shared lounge area includes board games and wine glasses available for guest use. Daily housekeeping service ensures rooms are refreshed each day.
Rooms
Premium rooms at Howdale feature king-size beds, sea views looking across North Bay, and a mini fridge. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower and bath combination, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Guests can also use the tea and coffee maker, electric kettle, and a wardrobe with ample hangers.
Location
Howdale is a 4-minute walk from Scarborough North Bay beach and 400 metres from Peasholm Park. Scarborough Castle is less than 1 km away, and the Scarborough Open Air Theatre is a 12-minute walk. Bus and train links from nearby stations provide day-trip access to Whitby, York, Robin Hood's Bay, and the North York Moors.
Dining
A complimentary full English breakfast is served each morning, with locally inspired options and a choice of cereals, fruit, and juices. The host Louisa accommodates special dietary needs, including gluten-free bread and alternative milk upon request. Breakfast hours are extended, and the communal dining area allows guests to socialise while enjoying the sea views.
“Howdale benefits from its location high above the promenade, granting striking views of the North Bay and castle, while interiors are well-maintained, clean, and detailed; this creates a relaxing seaside atmosphere. I especially appreciate that the breakfast includes vegetarian options, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A stay here feels both up-to-date and classically British.”
