Park Manor Hotel
Family-run North Bay hotel with its own pool
About this hotel
Park Manor Hotel sits on Scarborough's scenic North Side facing Peasholm Park, a short walk from North Bay Beach and, in turn, from Alpamare's water park itself, making it one of the closer family-run options on this stretch of coast. The independent hotel's own indoor pool, hot tub and steam room give families a second wet-weather option on the days they are not at Alpamare, alongside a games room with pool tables and table tennis for evenings in. Rooms are simple, en-suite, with a flat-screen TV and complimentary tea and coffee tray, and the restaurant sources fresh, local ingredients for a full English breakfast every morning plus an evening menu. Free limited on-site parking is available, though it should be confirmed at busy times. It closes as a genuinely well-rounded North Bay base, pairing the walk to Alpamare with its own leisure facilities.

- Games room on site
- Facing Peasholm Park
Our take
This suits families who want to combine a short walk to Alpamare with the hotel's own pool, hot tub and games room for the evenings and rest days. It is not a luxury stay, and parking is limited rather than guaranteed, but the North Bay location and family-run feel make it one of the more practical picks near the water park.
- ✓Confirm on-site parking availability when booking, since spaces are limited rather than unlimited.
- ✓Book early access to the pool or hot tub if you want it quiet before other guests head down after breakfast.
- ✓Ask about the games room's opening hours if you are planning a rainy evening in rather than a second Alpamare visit.

Why guests love itWe chose Park Manor mainly for the short walk to Alpamare, and the hotel's own hot tub turned out to be the real bonus, saving my back after two days of catching toddlers at the bottom of slides. The games room kept our older two occupied on the one evening we stayed in, and Peasholm Park across the road was an easy morning walk before breakfast.
