Excellent stay in Cordelia house

The B&B was in a beautiful old house. All clean and well looked after. The breakfast was delicious - home made granola and berries followed by freshly cooked full English and homemade marmalade on toast. Hosts were very welcoming. Throughly recommend.

Nice little spot

Located in a quiet side street about a 10 min walk from the edge of town so away from any noise. Accommodation was pleasant and clean. Breakfast was between 8.30 & 9.00 on a pre-order basis (so not a buffet) all of which we liked as it avoided waste.

Perfect stay

A great experience. The hostess greeted us outside and made sure we found free parking. The room and en-suite were exceptionally clean! The beds were comfy and nice toiletries were a treat! The hostess ensured we had everything we need and was available throughout our stay. Lots of information provided in the room. The free breakfast was amazing quality! Cooked to perfection! There were different options you could choose from. Perfect stay, would stay again.

I stayed for one night at The Cordelia as a solo traveller, and chose this hotel as it was conveniently located and looked great in the photos. I was not disappointed! From the moment I arrived, Rebecca was most welcoming. I was given a dis for the car parking on the road and was shown to my room which was warm and cosy with lovely decoration and a homely touch. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The property on the whole is beautiful and has some really lovely decoration. I walked into the town centre which took about 15 mins but there are plenty of car parks in town also. I really enjoyed this trip and if I return to Scarborough I would stay here again!

A gem of a hotel.

This is a really good little hotel: it is comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the owners who staff the hotel are friendly, professional and helpful. There is a system for pre-booking breakfast that ensures minimum waste and piping hot, individually prepared food, made with high quality ingredients. Only breakfast is provided in the dining room, but the couple offer cheese/meat or combination platters delivered to your room for consumption during the evening. I ordered the cheese one which came with five different cheeses, locally sourced, crusty bread, several types of crackers, pickled onions, olives, two different chutneys, walnuts and dried apricots - a real feast. The hotel is only a couple of hundred yards from the cliff top which provides spectacular views of South Bay.

What a Gem!

James and Rebecca own and run the small, friendly Cordelia. Situated on South Cliff, the Tramway down to the Spa is just along from the bottom of the street. On street parking is free - we were given the necessary cards and disc on arrival. James welcomed us and, after showing us the ground floor guest lounge, showed us to our room, which was really spacious. The bed was king size, there were two easy chairs, flat screen tv with remote, a tray set up for tea, coffee and biscuits and an en suite with toilet, wash basin with loads of toiletries, a shower cubicle and the largest bath towels I have ever seen! Breakfast was substantial, In addition to the usual fruit juice, cereals, toast and jam, you could order a fruit bowl with fresh, sliced banana, strawberry, grape and melon - very refreshing, smashed avocado with grilled haloumi on toast with a poached egg, a generous slice of smoked salmon and scrambled egg on a toasted bagel or compose your own "full english" Although dinner was not served, you can order a Supper Plate consisting of 5 cheeses or meats with crusty bread and butter, assorted crackers, nuts, apricots, pickled onions, olives and various relished. This is served in your room. James and Rebecca are very welcoming and chatty. Nice touches include thick slices of buttered date and walnut cake as a welcome on arrival, colour coded towel sets -1 set white and 1 coloured so no "is this mine our yours?". Top of our list to return, it is is 10/10 from us
