Top tips for finding Scarborough hostel deals

  • If you are driving to Scarborough or if you have hired a car for the journey, then you might want to look for Scarborough hostels that offer free parking, so that you have somewhere safe to keep your vehicle. One such accommodation that has parking for its guests included in the booking is North End Farm Country Guest House. This hostel is located about 4 miles (6.4 km) away from Scarborough Train Station, but you can easily travel between the two locations if you take the number 843 Coastliner bus, which takes around 19min and departs every 30min or so.
  • If you want accommodation that is close to the sea, then you should look for Scarborough hostels that are only a short walk from the beach. For example, you could stay at Sea Dogs Guest House, from which it takes only about 10min to walk the 0.4 mile (0.6 km) distance to the golden sands of North Bay Beach. This accommodation is also well located to get to other popular tourist attractions in the town; for instance, in roughly only 20min you can walk the 1 mile (1.6 km) journey to Scarborough Castle, which is a medieval fortress with expansive grounds and coastal views.
  • If you are travelling with your furry friend, then you might want to look for Scarborough hostels that are pet friendly. Caspians Boutique Guesthouse is one such accommodation that allows pets to stay with you on request. Depending on the pet type and how long you are staying, charges may apply. It is also perfectly located for you to take your dog out for a walk, with Peasholm Park being located only a 1 mile (1.6 km) and around 20min walk away. During certain times of the year, you can also take your dogs on the beaches in Scarborough, which is great seeing as South Bay Beach is only a 0.6 mile (1 km) and roughly 11min walk away from the hostel.
