Mansion House is praised for its superb location, offering views across the bay to the harbour and easy access to both the beach and Scarborough centre. Guests consistently appreciate the spacious and spotless rooms, particularly noting the luxurious Mahogany apartment with its fully equipped kitchen and outstanding sea view. Breakfast is a highlight, with freshly made-to-order options and plentiful choices; however, some guests have found certain rooms to be smaller than expected based on the photographs.

Really good Stay with Amazing Views

sea view helpful staff warm weather
The premier sea view room offered binoculars for observing the bay's activities. I found the room well equipped, including a fridge and kettle, in addition to the hairdryer. The staff was nice and accommodating, and they addressed every need. The fan in the room was a welcome addition since the weather was warm.
The room I had was smaller than expected. I think the room size did not match the impression the photos gave.

Really good Stay Experience

fresh food smoked salmon dog-friendly policy
The breakfast was a real treat. It featured a wide variety of options, including freshly cooked dishes. I particularly enjoyed the smoked salmon with eggs. The hotel has a dog-friendly policy, a nice bonus for pet owners.
Room much smaller than photographs and even though they had other rooms available we were in the smallest room on the top floor. Bed on the small side. Door lock faulty on arrival and when reported we were. Fixed later with WD40
