The Cordelia

A nice warm welcome from Rebecca, who has thought of everything! She was also very accommodating as we’d just had a family bereavement and showed flexibility which we appreciated. Large room on the second floor, lovely, very comfortable bed with very nice bedsheets etc. Modern bathroom. Nice fluffy towels and a face cloth, which so many places don’t have unfortunately. Hand lotions etc etc are of a good quality. Nice hospitality tray including biscuits and teas. This is a very large, old, semi-detached property, with fantastic high ceilings, furnished with older style furniture etc. There’s a very large lounge. Certain aspects mirror the age of the property such as the decor and wiring and so on but overall this is a large traditional building of a certain age. Breakfast is excellent. Plenty of choice, with good ingredients. You won’t go hungry!! Dietary requirements are well catered for. The scrambled eggs with smoked salmon was very good (however the food comes very quickly, infact I was still eating my cereal when my cooked breakfast arrived, same with another table the previous day, so this is something to learn from - a gap in serving food is definitely required, especially when you’re on holiday and not in a rush!) The establishment is well located for South Cliff and the lovely gardens. Car parking tokens for on-street car parking are provided. We went to Lookout on the Pier - recommended for very informal dining of great seafood (limited menu), and we also went to Tuscany Too, two minutes walk from the B&B, which was “ok”. Representing reasonable value for money, we would recommend staying at this B&B for a few days next to the sea.

I received a message the night before my arrival from Rebecca & James confirming my time of arrival and if I needed to change anything prior to arriving to not hesitate in getting back in touch, which I thought was a nice gesture. We went for one night in the Superior double (room 4) which was very spacious, clean and had a home from home feel to it. The bed was really comfortable and had a decent nights sleep. Tea and coffee tray within your room with Nescafé and Yorkshire Tea. Selection of biscuits on arrival too. It was a nice extra touch with the Caramel bars. Parking wasn’t an issue as there is plenty of space on the street and is free for your stay, as James or Rebecca will give you a permit for your stay. Don’t miss out on the breakfast as the full English was really nice and the selection of homemade conserves which Rebecca’s mother makes were delicious. Location is ideal as it only takes about 5-10 minutes walk to get to the seafront. If I come back to Scarborough The Cordelia would be the first place I would look at staying again. James & Rebecca were brilliant hosts, thank you for a great stay!

Deceiving from the outside. Lovely place. Nice welcome , clean room with added little extras. Comfy bed. Ample breakfast. Situated about a 20 minute walk from the town centre. Would definitely stay again. Car parking available with permit supplied

My mum and aunt had a wonderful break at The Cordelia. Can't thank James and Rebecca enough for their hospitality during their stay and for assisting them with the local area, especially suited for the older lady! Lovely large and clean bedrooms and ensuite, with communal areas for relaxing and breakfast which they thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again 👍

Absolutely stunning house with hosts to match. The little thoughtful touches make this place personalised and classy. The beds are super comfy in spacious and spotlessly clean rooms. The breakfasts are plentiful and top quality produce from local suppliers and the home made jams are delicious . The supper plates are a welcome addition and again top quality and value. Rebecca and James make you very welcome and are just lovely. Thank you for an amazing stay. 100 ⭐ awarded if available

This is a lovely guest house! The couple who run it are friendly, professional and helpful, and the hotel is comfortable, attractively furnished and spotlessly clean. They offer breakfast, which is pre-ordered and so individually cooked, using top-quality produce, apparently locally sourced wherever possible. There are no other dining room meals, but by request a cold platter can be delivered to your room for a supper at any time in the evening. I ordered a cheese slate which sported five local (and delicious) cheeses served with crusty bread, several different crackers, pickled onions, olives, two different chutneys, walnuts and dried apricots - a real feast. The hotel is situated only a couple of hundred yards from the cliff top in beautiful South Bay. It was a lovely stay and I hope to return.

Been to the cordelia many times now and it never fails to deliver and the delicious walnut cake on arrival is always a nice touch. The bedrooms, dining room and lounge are all beautifully decorated. We chose room one which has a big comfy bed , lovely seating area by the window . The bathroom is big with a large bath and separate enclosed shower, lovely toiletries and big soft towels. The breakfasts are amazing with quality produce and good coffee. You can choose what you want for breakfast on a tick list the day before and drop it in the bowl outside the dining room. Parking is easy with a street permit given to you on arrival. Thanks for a lovely anniversary break and we can't wait to return. Love Allan and Carole.
