27 Sept 2026The Helaina was perfect for our stop over in Scarborough. We were warmly welcomed by Jill and shown the cosy sitting room and honesty bar. Our room and bathroom were beautifully clean and the bed was very comfortable. We took advantage of the restaurant recommendations and booked in for breakfast which was good quality and set us up for our day of walking. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

29 Sept 2026This hotel was a perfect fit. Great location for walking to both bays. Our “cosy” room was indeed cosy - but very well equipped with tea & coffee and bathroom supplies. Everything looked very well cared for. Our host was very welcoming. We chose to go out for breakfast so can’t comment on the food.

20 Apr 2026We had a brilliant time and the staff were wonderful! Very well maintained hotel, excellent breakfast, and a wonderful view. The staff gave us some local tips, and sorted out our parking permit. Less than a ten minute walk from the town centre and castle, so we'll be staying here again!

13 Aug 2026We were greeted by the staff member Henry, he had prepared our key and parking permit. He gave us relevant advice and guidance. He showed us to the room that was clean and tidy. Our room was small. En suite was lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable.
The room was quiet.
Lovely uninterrupted views of the Noth Bay. Mother Nature added to our enjoyment with sunshine everyday.

31 May 2026Beautiful but compact room.We stayed in the small double as it was the only one left available when we booked, but perfect for a nights stay. The room had everything you would need and more including dressing gowns and a fan for warmer nights
The breakfast was one of the best that we've had in a long time. The scrambled egg and smoked salmon was exceptional. We will definitely be back but would look at a Seaview room and a few more nights.

1 Jun 2026This is really lovely guesthouse located above the North Beach in Scarborough. We were warmly welcomed by Jill on our arrival.
The rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a sea-view room which is well worth paying the extra for with views down to the beach in one direction and up to the castle in the other. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice and the staff were very nice and helpful.
You can easily walk to a wide choice of restaurants within 10 minutes as well as down to the main town and both beaches.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Haleina. Great location with wonderful views over the North Bay. Choice of breakfast was excellent, although a wider choice of pastries would enhance the continental breakfast.
