The Spinney
Adults-only stay with private parking
About this hotel
The Spinney is an adults-only property roughly 3.8 kilometres from Peasholm Park and Scarborough Castle and five kilometres from The Spa Scarborough and the Open Air Theatre, positioning it as a quieter, drive-in base rather than a walkable Alpamare stay. Rooms feature private bathrooms with baths and showers, and free on-site private parking removes the need to hunt for a space. A terrace and outdoor seating areas add relaxed evening space, and the adults-only policy suits couples wanting to skip a family-oriented atmosphere. Flamingo Land Theme Park and Whitby Abbey both sit around thirty-one kilometres away for a longer day trip. It closes as a quiet, couples-focused base a short drive from Alpamare.
- Adults-only
- Free private parking
- Near Whitby Abbey
Our take
This suits couples wanting an adults-only property away from a family-focused water park crowd, with the flexibility to drive in for Alpamare or spend the day exploring further afield toward Whitby. The private parking and terrace add genuine comfort, though families with children should look elsewhere given the adults-only policy.
- ✓Confirm the adults-only policy suits your travel party before booking, since this is not a family-oriented stay.
- ✓Use the terrace for relaxed evenings after a day trip, whether that is Alpamare or further afield toward Whitby.
- ✓Plan roughly a twenty-minute drive to reach North Bay and Alpamare from this property's location.

Why guests love itWe booked The Spinney as a couples' break rather than a family trip, and the adults-only policy delivered exactly the quiet evenings we wanted after driving in for an Alpamare day. The terrace became our spot for a drink each evening, and the drive out toward Whitby Abbey on our second day made for a good change of pace from the water park.
