The Headlands Hotel is located in the heart of Scarborough's beautiful North Bay looking across towards Scarborough Castle and has a wide range of spotlessly clean rooms available, all of which are en-suite and have breakfast included in the rate. Breakfast is served in our bright and spacious dining room using fresh local produce and we also have a fully licensed bar that is open every evening serving drinks and food. It's just a five minute walk from the hotel to the North Bay Beach, Peasholm Park, Scarborough Open Air Theater and Alpamare Water Park and there are bars and restaurants close by. The town center and South Bay beach are both within easy reach of the hotel.
