Country House Hotels in Scarborough
Thanks to the discovery of healing waters in Scarborough’s South Bay in the 1600s, the town became Britain’s first seaside resort, ‘Scarborough Spa’, attracting visitors from across Yorkshire and beyond. Between the town’s two sandy beaches is the busy fishing harbour, all dominated by Scarborough Castle on the headland. The beautiful parks and gardens are a direct result of town’s popularity during the Victorian era, as is the cliff lift which transports visitors from the beach to the bustling shopping centre.
