The Falcon Inn
Countryside inn with a family-friendly garden
About this hotel
The Falcon Inn sits well outside central Scarborough, roughly twelve kilometres from Peasholm Park and Scarborough Open Air Theatre and fourteen kilometres from Scarborough Castle, making it a genuine countryside base rather than a walkable Alpamare stay. Family rooms have private bathrooms, work desks and free toiletries, and the restaurant, bar and garden offer continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian and gluten-free breakfast options, with a private parking option for guests arriving by car. Free on-site private parking removes any parking concerns for the drive into town. Teesside International Airport is around eighty-five kilometres away. It closes as a genuinely rural option that trades proximity to Alpamare for a quieter, garden-centred stay and highly rated comfortable rooms.

Our take
This suits families who want a genuinely quiet countryside base with a family-friendly garden and restaurant, and are comfortable driving roughly twelve kilometres into Scarborough for Alpamare. Guests consistently praise the attentive staff, excellent breakfast and comfortable rooms, though the distance rules out a walkable water park trip for anyone hoping to leave the car behind for the day.
- ✓Plan a longer drive time into your Alpamare schedule, since this inn sits well outside central Scarborough.
- ✓Use the garden and family-friendly restaurant on days you are not driving in for the water park.
- ✓Book breakfast dietary options ahead if travelling with vegan or gluten-free family members.

Why guests love itWe chose The Falcon Inn for a quieter countryside week, driving into Scarborough for two Alpamare visits rather than making it a daily trip. The garden gave our kids space to play that a town-centre hotel could not match, and the excellent breakfast, praised by other guests too, set us up well for the longer drive in each time we headed for the coast.
