Bay House Guest House, Scarborough

Bay House is a small family run guest house based just off the beautiful Esplanade on Scarborough’s South Bay. Located at the end of a Victorian Terrace, Bay House has many features of the era’s architecture.

Guest rooms start on the ground floor at room 1, this room is ideal for those with mobility issues though there are steps at the front of the house too. The remaining 8 rooms go right up to the 4th floor so it’s useful to check availability of rooms lower down if stairs are a problem.

Room Details

All guest rooms have a fridge, a kettle and a microwave. Rooms are all ensuite apart from room 6 which has a separate private shower room. Nowadays, there is no cooked breakfast provision though a continental breakfast can be provided on request. Depending on requirements there may be a charge for this. Please see tariffs. We plan to start a small tearoom on the ground floor in 2026 so there should be cooked options available then.

There is no reception, keys are obtained by use of key safes in the porch. This helps us to keep our prices very competitive. Family live on the premises.
