Bike & Boot Inn Scarborough: Where Adventure Meets Attitude on the Yorkshire Coast
A bold new take on “modern leisure,” this playful coastal retreat is built for bikers, surfers, hikers—and their dogs.
The First Ride of a Game-Changing Concept
Housed in the former Mount Hotel and reimagined by hoteliers Simon Rhatigan and Simon Kershaw, Bike & Boot Scarborough is the flagship property of a fresh hotel concept designed for active explorers and style-conscious nomads. Forget stuffy seaside tradition—this is Scarborough with swagger.
Funky, Functional, and Fun
Inside, 65 colourful rooms burst with personality—vibrant hues, playful graphics, and the kind of relaxed design that feels equal parts boutique hotel and adventure basecamp. It’s smart, cheeky, and unapologetically different. The ground-floor hybrid café-bar-restaurant is the hotel’s social hub: grab a morning coffee before hitting the trail, linger over post-hike burgers, or sip a local pint while swapping stories with fellow travelers. No formality here—just a friendly buzz and solid eats, all day long.
Built for the Way You Travel
Bike & Boot doesn’t just tolerate muddy boots and wet dogs—it welcomes them. You’ll find dog and boot wash stations, drying rooms for wetsuits and kit, and secure bike storage designed with two-wheeled adventurers in mind. Add in free cake at 4pm and a cinema screening everything from surf docs to cult classics, and you’ve got a hotel that really gets its crowd.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Bike & Boot Scarborough nails the sweet spot between practicality and personality. It’s a hotel with soul, energy, and a sense of humour, designed for guests who’d rather be outdoors than in a spa. Equal parts retro Brit seaside and modern basecamp, it’s a fresh breeze on the Yorkshire coast—and just the beginning of something big.
