Haddock Hideaway at The Whiteley
North Bay beachfront, 300 metres from the park
About this hotel
Haddock Hideaway at The Whiteley offers direct beachfront access and a lush garden on Scarborough's North Bay, five minutes' walk from North Bay itself, just three hundred metres from Peasholm Park, and under a kilometre from Scarborough Castle, making it one of the closest properties on this list to Alpamare's water park. Rooms feature private bathrooms with showers, electric kettles and TVs, and family rooms with bicycle parking cater to groups of different sizes. A full English or Irish breakfast with vegetarian and gluten-free options is served, and outdoor seating areas make the most of the beachfront garden setting. It closes as a genuinely well-placed North Bay base for a family building the whole trip around Alpamare.
- North Bay beachfront
- Close to Peasholm Park
- Family rooms available
Our take
This suits families who want to be genuinely close to Alpamare, with Peasholm Park a three-hundred-metre stroll and the beach on the doorstep. The beachfront garden and included breakfast add real value for a family prioritising walking distance to the water park above all else, though the property is small so early booking matters more here than elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Book family rooms early for peak weeks, since this North Bay beachfront property is small and popular for its proximity to Alpamare.
- ✓Use the three-hundred-metre walk to Peasholm Park for a morning outing before heading to the water park.
- ✓Ask about bicycle parking if you plan to explore North Bay's promenade by bike between Alpamare visits.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe picked Haddock Hideaway specifically for the five-minute walk to Alpamare, and it was the closest genuinely comfortable stay we found on North Bay. The three-hundred-metre stroll to Peasholm Park each morning became part of our routine, and the beachfront garden gave the kids somewhere to burn energy before breakfast on the days we skipped the pools for a slower start.
