We had a good stay at Barrington Guest House. Can't comment on the breakfast as we didn't take advantage of the offer. Our room was spacious and had a new en suite bathroom which was a bonus. There was not a hairdryer in the room which is quite unusual these days. Our host was very warm and was ready to offer any advice or information should we require it.

No sea view as stated.cleanliness not up to scratch dust under bed and sideboard. Towels not changed daily. And bottled water is from the tap. Food rating is from 2018 and kitchen where food cooked is not the best. Friendly hosts .

Scarborough
What a beautiful guest house , ideal location ! Walk up the hill to the high street , walk down the alleyways opposite & your on the seafront. Steve & Claire are great hosts, also very welcoming & knowledgeable of the local area . You are given a parking permit to park in zone A2, on the backstreets, plenty of parking, which is free ! I’d recommend visiting the castle £11 each , stunning views with a free guided tour , also the pirate ship £6 each , maybe see the dolphins like we did . To top it all off a great breakfast with a cup of Yorkshire Tea ! Will definitely return.

Aggressive and Threatening
Lovely decor, delicious breakfast but mattress was past its sell by date and had no support. Had practically no sleep. Made a discreet complaint the following morning and the response from the host was ridiculous. We were aggressively shouted at and threatened with the police to evict us if we didn't leave immediately. Fearing for our safety we left. We were not offered another room and also charged for the second night that we didn't stay. We were both shaken up and my wife was in tears. Totally ruined our short stay to my home town of Scarborough. Do not stay here if you are likely to complain about anything.

Stay here its excellent!!
This is a listed Georgian town house in spitting distance from the sea. It is a boutique style with high quality fixtures and fittings. I recommend this Guest house without reservation unless steep narrow stairs may cause you problems. The bed and shower were excellent as was the full English. Steve the proprietor was friendly and up for a chat. Overall 5*.

Nice clean, well looked after guest house with good sized bedroom & shower with decent storage. Hearty breakfast with friendly owners. Conveniently located for Scarborough sea front & town centre. The immediate area around the premises was beginning to look a bit run down (did not apply to the premises), and limited parking, but overall good value for the money.

The room was modern, comfortable and clean - Attention to detail was apparent. Friendly hosts and a hearty breakfast included in my price. Would certainly stay again when visiting Scarborough. The Guest house is situated on a pathway above a row of shops so don’t rely on Satnav for the last part of the journey. Parking requires a permit issued by proprietor on arrival.

The hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The rooms appear to have been recently renovated and are very clean and modern. The B&B is only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and harbour and a few minutes more to the shopping centre. Breakfast was very tasty. We will return in the future.

What you see isn't what we got.
Be careful of the room you book as the photos do not match up as we didn't get the room of our choice. Very well situated for town centre and seafront amenities. Our bed was a wee bit small for comfort and the separate bathroom was lacking a towel rail and mirror on sink was not safely fixed. All in all tho it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

great value for money
Steve & Claire were superb hosts, very friendly and helpful. Although we only stayed overnight we throughly enjoyed our stay. room was spacious and immaculately clean. Bed was rock solid and very comfortable. Top quality bedding and mattress leaves you not wanting to leave the bed. There is a fridge for your use which comes in handy if your staying for a few days. Tea and coffee with lovely yorkshire tea bags was a nice touch. The shower was really nice and had plenty of pressure. on suite bathroom was really nicely done, very modern with a light within the mirror. Nice sized tv with freeview channels. Breakfast was a cooked breakfast and is served at your allocated time you choose. ingredients were good quality and not your usual supermarket rubbish. Lots of money has obviously been spent on the refurb and nowhere do you sense a cheapness you find in a lot of BNBs. The whole place was spotlessly clean and is a credit to its owners. personally i would pay more than £80 a night to stay here as the place is spotless, modern, very well done and of good quality. location is also a bonus in terms of being mins to the shops and beach. Parking was via a permit steve gave me that allowed me to park at the rear. I honestly cant find fault and as an owner renter myself, i would be proud to own this lovely BNB. Thanks so much for your hospitality. jim and tracey

Top quality guest house
A very warm welcome is waiting to all guests at the Barrington Guest House. Steve and Clare runs a wonderful B&B. The place is very clean with a high standard of hygiene. Our Room was large over looking the sea front. Good quality bedding soft fluffy white towels lovely shower, TV on the wall, extra little touches of a fridge and a nice bottle of water and the towels were folded In a swan design. Breakfast was included in the price which was great, the ingredients was top quality. This place is a little gem. I will certainly return here again.

Claire and Steve are the most welcoming ang excellent hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they would go out of their way to ensure your stay was as enjoyable as they could possibly make it. We went at the very end of the season for a little break, like a lot of people, because of covid and our own property renovations. The guest house is two old Georgian properties that have been tastefully converted. There are winding staircases, but remember the property is getting on for 400 years old. The one thing you will never forget are the extremely comfortable beds and luxurious sheets. If you can not manage all your plentiful breakfast have no fear. Ben the docile hound will happily eat all the leftovers.
