First and foremost we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Raincliffe Hotel. It did feel like we were staying with a family - which we were, rather than in a hotel.
The welcome was clearly genuine and warm. Our room, though quite compact, was well prepared, lovely and clean and very comfortable. The bed, bedding and fittings of the room were spot on.
The owners and their Mum took a good interest in us and our needs. We had good chats with them and they made us very welcome.
The breakfast was very nicely prepared and cooked to our order. It set us up well for our days of walking the Cleveland Way.
Yes its a little more expensive than the main stream hotels in town but they will not give you the personal attention you get at the Raincliffe.
Lastly, Scarborough and the cliff walks to the north and south are well worth a visit and explore.
This will be a short break we will remember for all the right reasons for a long while.
