Hotels in Flamborough

Hotels in Flamborough itself are limited, in keeping with the village's small size and its character as a working fishing and farming community rather than a resort. What you will find is a good spread of B&Bs, guesthouses and small inns offering comfortable, no-fuss stays within easy walking distance of the High Street, the parish church and the lanes leading out to North and South Landing. Several sit in traditional stone cottages or converted farm buildings, giving a genuinely local feel rather than a chain-hotel experience, and many hosts are well placed to point guests towards the best cliff walks and the times of year the seabird colonies are at their busiest.

For a wider choice of hotels, including larger seafront properties, most visitors base themselves a short drive away in Bridlington, which has a proper range of hotels and guesthouses along its seafront and harbour, or in Scarborough a little further north, both easily reached via the A165 coast road. Staying in Flamborough itself suits those who want to be right by the cliffs and the lighthouse first thing in the morning or at dusk, when the light on the chalk headland and the seabird colonies is at its best, while a Bridlington base offers more evening dining and entertainment options alongside easy access back out to the headland. Whichever you choose, book ahead for spring and early summer, when birdwatchers and walkers flock to the coast to see the nesting colonies at their peak.
