Ken and I took over the Selomar Hotel in 1978 so we have been running it for over 40 years. The Selomar it is a beautiful Victorian building which we have updated over the years and continue to do so into a modern comfy home from home for our guests.
Hi, my name is Irene I run the hotel with my husband Ken and our son Paul and his wife Selina. My lovely granddaughters Anya and Sophia also work at The Selomar and will always serve you your breakfast with a smile 😊 When not working we like going for long walks in and around Scarborough there are some beautiful walks along the coastline and walking around the Marine drive is one of our favourites. We also love eating out with family and friend’s as Scarborough has soo many lovely friendly restaurants offering a great choice of food and drink. The boys (Paul and Ken) enjoy a round of golf at Scarborough North Cliff in their spare time it’s a lovely course over looking the sea .
We are situated on the north cliff overlooking the sea and north bay beach. Opposite The Selomar there are grass banks with a path that leads down to the beach and sea, it is a lovely walk and passes a lovely children’s play park. To the right of us is Scarborough castle it is only a 2 minute walk away. The town centre is at the back of the hotel where there are lots of cafes, bars restaurants and shops. If you fancy fish and chips, ice cream and a go on the slot machines Walk a little further downhill and you will come to Scarborough’s South-bay beach and harbour. To the left of us is the famous Peasholm Park, Scarborough Open Air Theatre and miniature railway.
