"Hi, I'm Claire

At The Barrington, I believe a great stay is about more than just a comfortable bed. It's about feeling welcome, having everything you need, and discovering the best of Scarborough with a little local knowledge. Here's what makes staying with us special."


- Claire Attley

Location: The Perfect Spot

The Barrington sits in the heart of Scarborough's historic Old Town, giving you the best of everything right on your doorstep:



  • 60 seconds to South Bay beach - literally just down the street
  • 5 minute stroll to Scarborough Castle with its stunning views
  • 2 minutes to the harbour and marina with boat trips and fresh seafood
  • Surrounded by restaurants, cafés and pubs - no need for taxis
  • 10 minute walk to the town centre shops and amenities
  • 15 minute walk to North Bay and Peasholm Park
  • Easy access to public transport for exploring the Yorkshire Coast


Many guests tell me they park their car on arrival and don't use it again until they leave - everything you need is within walking distance.

Personal Service

As the owner, I'm personally committed to making your stay special. Unlike larger hotels, at The Barrington you'll get:


  • Local recommendations - the best places to eat, drink and visit (not just the tourist spots)
  • Insider knowledge - hidden gems and local secrets I've discovered since 2018
  • Practical help - from parking permits to booking restaurants
  • Flexible check-in - just let me know your arrival time
  • A friendly face - always available but never intrusive


I've lived in Scarborough for years and love sharing my knowledge of the area. Whether you're looking for the best fish and chips, a quiet cove away from the crowds, or family-friendly activities for a rainy day, just ask.
