Scarborough was probably the first English seaside resort after the medicinal properties of the town spring waters were discovered in 1626, although it was only after the arrival of the railway in the 1800s that Scarborough became accessible to all, thus resulting in hotels spreading out over the South Cliff. Today Scarborough combines the attractions of an old, traditional English resort with the modern surfing, which is popular around the bays.

Although not a listed building the Maynard is situated in a conservation area on the beautiful South cliff with views of the Prince of Wales gardens.
Originaly constructed in the 1860s it was converted to a hotel during the 1930s.

Scarborough, Britain’s first seaside resort, has been welcoming visitors for over 360 years and is still as popular as ever.
