About Black Lion
Rooms at the Black Lion come with en-suite bathrooms and the option of drinks brought up to you, with family rooms available for those travelling with children. That said, upkeep in some rooms has been patchy, so it's worth setting expectations at the traditional-pub end rather than boutique. Free WiFi is included throughout.
Downstairs, the bar is the heart of the place, known for well-kept beer and a properly traditional atmosphere, with staff who are friendly and prices that stay reasonable. Breakfast is served, kids' meals and packed lunches are available, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days. Reception operates around the clock, and pets are welcome.
The hotel sits on North Street in Scarborough, within reach of the castle, with parking available nearby. The surrounding area suits walkers and cyclists, and there's golf, fishing and watersports nearby too, alongside other pubs, restaurants and entertainment close at hand.

Beautiful clean rooms but noise of loud people im room next to mine made it impossible to sleep and I had my driving test the next morning 😭😭 Not the owners fault at all just super rude people staying next to me who wouldn't shut up until gone 3am even after I knocked on the wall. But would recommend staying here as most likely not going to be rude people here every night and it's a very well run pub/accommodation. (Personal wash basin and tea/coffee/kettle in the room was much appreciated)

Disgraceful behaviour I was appalled when I asked if my 8 year old son could use the toilet we was told yes. when we walked through we heard the woman say I am sick of this I am putting up a notice over the toilets at that my son said dad I don’t think she what’s me to go to the toilet so I tried to raise my concerns to be told the toilet is for paying customers I then asked who was in charge she replied me and started laughing my son is 8 year old with autism and struggles at the best of times SO BEWARE OF THIS PLACE

Not for us! I am rating 3x because overall the B&B offers everything you need but this is not for us. Good location with parking 3 minutes away (NCP Parking for less than £10 for 24hours) this is located in the old building so expect old furniture and finishes with old carpeted floor. The comments below are only to help other people rather than point the finger. Clean linen & towels, good amount of tea & yorkshire tea bags and bottled water, shared iron board and hair dryer available. Shared bathroom & toilet ( 2x separate toilet, 1x shower, 1x bath available but all very clean) they accept dogs. There are games for children available but I won't bring my child here! Located on the top of a lively pub (we had karaoke night, we couldn't hear the music but our room was facing the main entrance and you can hear people talking, drinking, shouting) we could hear people from next door. We stayed in room 1 and the window didn't close properly. We heard the seagulls all day and night to the point I couldn't deal with it anymore... Have no idea how people can live with these. Unbearable! Good value for what you get. Breakfast £8 extra, not top quality but good portions. Check in could be better. No information anywhere for residents. The lady was polity but she didn't explain things very well unless you ask. She even left me alone without telling me where to go, or the room number or where to find the room key (which is left on the door) etc. The pub itself it's very pretty. They have potential if they renovate the place.
