The Clifton Hotel Scarborough (England) travel guide

With inspirational views across the North Sea and Scarborough’s magnificent castle headland, it’s easy to see how First World War poet Wilfred Owen was inspired to write some of his most famous works at the hotel.

In late 1917 Owen was posted to a reserve battalion, based at The Clifton Hotel, (then known as The Clarence Gardens Hotel). Whilst here, he was able to take time away from his clerical duties and escape to his turret bedroom where he produced “Miners,” the first of his poems to be published.

Renowned for its warm Yorkshire welcome, The Clifton Hotel boasts many return guests. It offers a wide range of bedroom types, in both traditional and contemporary styles and a restaurant known for its high quality Yorkshire fare, using fresh produce.

The hotel’s elegant Castle Ballroom also offers a delightful setting for social functions from Cocktail Parties to Birthday Parties, from Wedding Receptions to Dinner Dances.
