Rooms & Amenities

The Maynard offers 12 en-suite bedrooms, most recently upgraded with new bathrooms or shower rooms. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and fast, free WiFi. Ironing facilities, an AM/FM alarm clock, and carpeted floors are standard.

Dining Options

No onsite restaurants are listed, but Scarborough has Tony's Pizza, The Coffee Bean, and Urban Outfitters nearby. The town also features traditional amusement arcades, ice cream parlours, shellfish stalls, and beach huts.

Leisure & Nearby

The hotel is 1.5 km from Scarborough, close to landmarks like Scarborough Castle (2 km), Peasholm Park (2 km), and The Spa Scarborough (0.5 km). Guests can explore the Rotunda Museum of Geology or walk the coastal path to Burniston Bay.

Location & Transport

The Maynard is on the A165 south of Scarborough, 95 km from Humberside Airport. The town has 400 acres of public gardens and parks, with easy access to the Art Gallery, Wood End Natural History Museum, and two sports centres.

Golf & Activities

North Cliff Golf Club, rated by many as the finest course on the coast, is nearby. The course features parkland and links-style holes, with views of the North Bay and Scarborough Castle. Mid to high handicap golfers will find it enjoyable.

“This family-run guest house strikes a solid balance: located a short walk from both the beach lift and local amenities, it also stands out for its surprisingly spacious family rooms. While one guest experienced an issue with the initial check-in process, the availability of parking permits adds a practical touch for those arriving by car; overall, it's a dependable choice for families or golf enthusiasts seeking a comfortable stay in Scarborough.”

I found ample parking just outside using the discs provided by the hotel. The location was excellent meeting my expectations based on guest reviews. An lovely lady handled both my check-in and check-out processes very smoothly.

gorgeous room helpful owner comfortable bed high window waiting time no lift
The room was gorgeous. My grand daughter and i were met by the owner upon arrival. She helped me to park my car which was amazing. The bed was super comfortable and i slept so well.
The hotel was advertised as having a view. I could not see out of the very high window. I had to wait outside when i got there for a few minutes before anyone came to check us in. There was no lift in this hotel.
