What guests think
Across the reviews, The Thoresby - Room Only stands out for warm, proactive hosts and a walkable location near the seafront and Open Air Theatre, with clear parking arrangements that make driving and check‑in straightforward.
Rooms are generally compact but comfortable, with good beds and occasional sea views; some guests reported thin walls or late noise from the nearby pub and other guests’ TVs. Cleanliness is widely praised, though minor maintenance niggles like dripping taps or worn fittings and one report of no mid‑stay servicing were noted. Expect a straightforward room‑only base with compact comforts and easy access to Scarborough sights.

This is definitely my ‘go to’ in Scarborough. Very clean, friendly staff, and parking. Rooms are small, but I would definitely choose this over a well known hotel chain. A couple of the rooms have a shared bathroom, but don’t let this put you off. Only downside for some may be the stairs which are steep and narrow. over the road is a great pub as well.

Good communication from Tim, who gave us the heads-up re parking pre- and post-arrival - a friendly and helpful host. The beds were fine and the fridge/tea/coffee facilities were most welcome, as was the fan provided, which was thoughtful. Being an older property, one or two minor issues in the bathroom with dripping taps and a broken shower head but everything worked, so no complaints. This property is excellently located for the beaches and a very walkable town centre, so we would definitely consider reserving again.

We only booked the day before in order to attend a Scarborough Outdoor Theatre show. Rick was brilliant in letting us know our room would be ready early for us and how to go about parking etc. The room was great, really comfy bed, clean, well thought out and with nice touches to make our stay comfortable. Centrally placed between North and South Bay, easy to walk to both. Would highly recommend,especially if visiting for Theatre or the cricket.

Not one single thing to fault!

Excellent stay the hosts were very accommodating and kept checking we had everything we needed they couldn't do enough for us. Overall the room was clean and tidy, we enjoyed our stay. The location wasn't too far from anything. The parking situation was great as we didn't have to worry about paying like at some hotels or b and bs in the area. We was also given a parking badge that allowed use to park anywhere in Scarborough for up to two hours. Thank you for an amazing stay we definitely will be back 😀

I received the warmest, kindest greeting when I arrived, and the sparkling clean room was comfortable and well-equipped. Compact, but had everything I needed and more. It was a warm day, and there was a fan already in the room for my use. Generous coffee and tea provisions. Property was easy to find, across the street from a small grocery, and walkable to many areas throughout Scarborough. Very glad I booked and wouldn't hesitate to stay again if I'm in the area for another short visit. Highly recommend!

I had higher expectations for this place given the "exceptional" aggregate rating. Sadly, though the experience was mostly adequate, it was far less than other guest houses at which I have stated. On the plus side, the property is well located on the northern end of town and boasts lovely views of the water. It is mostly quiet, though the walls are thin. The room, although sufficient, was a bit dated and showing some signs of wear and tear. Cleanliness could be improved (the TV remote, for example, had visible dirt between the keys). Note also there is no cleaning service during the stay The biggest area of improvement would be the shared bathroom. It is quite small to use as a shower and oddly lacks hooks, shelves, or other spaces for towels and a change of clothes (aside from one small ring for a hand towel). The infrared light at night was also insufficiently calibrated to illuminate the hall. For longer-term guests, touching base at some point to make sure all is ok would help with good will. Aside from check-out, the only other contact was a very kind check-in, which went a long way in leaving a better impression.

Great location, easy to walk to north beach but also, town centre and south beach are close enough to walk to. For the price I paid I wasn’t expecting too much but this guesthouse has everything you might need and more for a few days away, it’s very clean and the rooms are spacious and well organised. The staff was super nice and my double bed was one of the best I’ve ever slept on! I would definitely go back!

This guest house is one of the cleanest properties I have stayed in. Rooms are compact, but comfortable. The shared bathroom isn’t really shared as a lot of the rooms have en-suite, so don’t let it put you off if that is the only room available. The towels provided are thick and fluffy. Deania the host is very welcoming and will make sure you are happy.

The beds were fine and the fridge/tea/coffee facilities were most welcome, as was the fan provided, which was thoughtful. Being an older property, one or two minor issues in the bathroom with dripping taps and a broken shower head but everything worked, so no complaints. This property is excellently located for the beaches and a very walkable town centre, so we would definitely consider reserving again.

Location
Convenient, walkable base near the seafront, town centre, and the Open Air Theatre, with the station also within walking distance. A pub opposite adds convenience for some but can contribute to late‑night noise.

The beds were fine and the fridge/tea/coffee facilities were most welcome, as was the fan provided, which was thoughtful. Being an older property, one or two minor issues in the bathroom with dripping taps and a broken shower head but everything worked, so no complaints. This property is excellently located for the beaches and a very walkable town centre, so we would definitely consider reserving again.

We only booked the day before in order to attend a Scarborough Outdoor Theatre show. Rick was brilliant in letting us know our room would be ready early for us and how to go about parking etc. The room was great, really comfy bed, clean, well thought out and with nice touches to make our stay comfortable. Centrally placed between North and South Bay, easy to walk to both. Would highly recommend,especially if visiting for Theatre or the cricket.

Great location, easy to walk to north beach but also, town centre and south beach are close enough to walk to. For the price I paid I wasn’t expecting too much but this guesthouse has everything you might need and more for a few days away, it’s very clean and the rooms are spacious and well organised. The staff was super nice and my double bed was one of the best I’ve ever slept on! I would definitely go back!
