About The Falcon Inn
The Falcon Inn suits visitors after a straightforward, well-run base near the coast rather than anything flashy - families on a beach trip, walkers passing through, or anyone keen on a proper Sunday roast at the end of the day. It sits on Whitby Road in Scarborough, within reach of the town's beaches, historic sights and local attractions, with free on-site parking for those arriving by car.
Rooms are en-suite, clean and comfortable, with accessible rooms available, free WiFi and drinks available in-room. The restaurant and bar are the heart of the place, known for generous, well-cooked meals and Sunday roasts in particular, backed up by breakfast, room service and packed lunches for early starts. Outdoor seating, a garden and picnic area give guests somewhere to sit outside, and there are meeting rooms for those combining business with the stay.
Staff are attentive and the atmosphere is welcoming, which goes some way to explaining why guests rate it good value for money. Nearby options include fishing, cycling and walking routes, watersports, and a choice of pubs and restaurants close at hand, making it a practical choice for exploring Scarborough and the surrounding coast.

What guests say
Just eaten dinner here. Good portions of freshly cooked and flavoursome food. My steak in the pie melted in the mouth and the roast parsnip was huge, good portion of mash and tender stem brocoli. The fish and chips were amazing, fish was light, good portion and the chips were crispy. With homemade tartar sauce. Delicious sticky toffee pudding. Menu on their website is current. Very clean and classy restaurant seating area.

A friend and I stayed overnight here as we were going to Scarborough Open Air Theatre. What a fabulous find! The rooms are absolutely lovely: well decorated & equipped and very comfortable and peaceful. All of the staff team are warm, welcoming & really helpful. Britney deserves a special mention! We'd booked in for evening meal and breakfast. The food was fantastic; beautifully prepared & well presented. The Falcon Inn is a fabulous base for exploring this beautiful area of the coast.

This has been possibly the 4th time we have been to the restaurant in the past few months. The first times were excellent- food - service was great. This last time was a total disappointment . We attempted to book no pick up. Eventually left a message to book for 5.30pm Wednes 17 th asking to confirm- nothing so took a chance . Took a while for a young lady to ask us for drinks order - she took our food order also . Thought it was best to do them together because she was very pre occupied talking to a colleague and an ex colleague to attend to customers . This was so different than previous visits . A definite can't be bothered attitude . I ordered vegetarian chilli- was described as mild. It didn't seem to be to me-i found it to be hotter than mild. When someone eventually came to ask if we were happy with our meals a young man came . I did indicate I found the chilli to be too hot . I asked if there was something to cool it down. On return he said there was nothing - another i can't be bothered . No offer of replacement nothing. I left well over half of my meal . On collection of plates I informed the waitress I was unable to finish it because it was too hot . Another shrug of the shoulder - certainly customer satisfaction not high on the list. All in all an extremely disappointing visit from start to end. Not really a great choice for vegetarians . I've had the same thing each time I went . Decided to try the other offer. Nothing on the special board for veggies . Probably won't bother with another visit . Such a shame we were so impressed previously

We went here for an evening meal here, and it was the best meal we had all week. The food was absolutely lovely and presented well. I had the pork belly, and my wife the seafood pie. We would definitely recommend it as a place to eat. The staff were very polite and friendly too. The manager (who's name I have sadly forgotten, sorry!) took the time to have a little chat with us at the bar too, and told us about the various accommodation they have there, and we will consider this when we go back to the area. I can't obviously comment on that as we were not staying there. But if you want a nice meal out, in our opinion, this would be a place to go.
