Just stayed at The Almar over the weekend as 2 couples. As soon as we arrived at the hotel we got a warm reception from Jamie who was a very informative and helpful host. Rooms were very clean and tidy and smelt lovely upon arrival and clean towels were provided on both days. The en suite in room 9 was... More

I spent a few days in Scarborough and this B&B was really fantastic: very clean and confy rooms, very good location (walking distance to the beach and the town centre), excellent breakfast. Above all, the owners (Jamie and Michelle) are very friendly and helpful and make you feel like at home. I will surely come back again!

Have just returned from a stay of 2 nights at the Almar. Can only echo what others have said here - friendly & efficient owners; clean, well decorated room and excellent food. Originally booked just for 1 night with the intention of moving on to stay in Whitby the next night- but as this is by far the best B&B... More

The Almar has a really friendly relaxed atmosphere and Jamie and all the staff were really helpful. The decor is modern but homely and spotlessly clean. The quality of the breakfast was amazing, beautifully cooked and presented.

Stayed here for just one night as a getaway following my daughter's recent wedding. We arrived earlier than planned but this wasn't a problem. Jamie went out of his way to welcome us, recommending taxis/eateries etc & giving us directions. On returning later in the evening we enjoyed a drink in the bar. The breakfast the following morning was nothing... More

What else is there to say? Jamie - the host - was welcoming and knowledgeable, the room was well appointed and spotless, the bed was comfy and the shower was hot. In the morning the breakfast was really good. The location is convenient for a wonder into town or to the beaches. There really is nothing else you can ask... More
