Last minute booking for an event in town. Perfect location, room spotless, top breakfast,great view from the room and the lady who runs the place couldn't be more helpful. From checking in to checking out top notch, if im back for the event next year will 100% book again!
A really comfortable place to stay. I had a clean, well equipped room with a lovely sea view (& free parking). Friendly & helpful host, delicious breakfast - great value for money. I will definitely stay again.
We had an amazing stay at Leeway Hotel in Scarborough. The room was very cozy, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The view over the bay was absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise.
The location is perfect — close to the castle and the town centre, but still peaceful and relaxing. The traditional English breakfast was delicious every morning.
The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming and creates such a lovely homely atmosphere. We especially appreciated the soft background music around the house and during breakfast — it made the mornings feel extra special.
We truly had a wonderful time and would happily stay here again.
Very welcoming host, the room had an amazing veiw. Very clean, good variety of tea, coffee and a hot chocolate. The bottle of water in the fridge was a godsend when I got back after a long day. Breakfast was very tasty, full english with a glass of fruit juice and a pot of tea( or coffee). It was so helpful being able to drop my bag off before check in... Which when I arrived I was able to check in early. Also I could leave my bag there when I checked out, meaning I didn't have to lug it around with me all day till going for my train. Highly recommended and will definitely stay again. 😊
Beautiful location - I could have sat at the little chairs in the window and looked at the sea and the castle forever. Lovely comfy bed and gorgeous cotton bedding. Very nice breakfast & lovely host. Parking very easy & free. A very relaxing break.
Hotel is on the sea-front, and the room had a sea view as advertised. Parking on site for 4 cars, so no panicking about finding a spot. Very friendly welcome from the owner, and the room was very comfortable with a decent double bed. I would highly recommend the Leaway if you need somewhere to stay in the Scarborough area.
