Meet Claire: The Heart and Soul of The Barrington Guest House When you stay at The Barrington Guest House, you're not just booking a room - you're experiencing the warm hospitality and personal touch that only Claire Attley can provide. As the owner and proprietor since founding The Barrington in 2017, Claire has created something truly special in Scarborough's charming Old Town. A Passion for Hospitality Claire's journey began with a simple vision: to create a welcoming, comfortable guest house where visitors to Scarborough would feel truly at home. Her background in hospitality shines through in every aspect of The Barrington, from the beautifully appointed boutique rooms to the thoughtful touches that make each stay memorable. "I wanted to create somewhere I'd love to stay myself," Claire often says. "Somewhere with character and charm, but also with all the modern comforts that make a holiday special." Going Above and Beyond What guests consistently mention in their feedback is Claire's exceptional dedication to service. Whether it's providing insider tips on the best local restaurants, helping with parking arrangements, or simply taking the time for a friendly chat over a cup of tea, Claire goes the extra mile to ensure every guest feels valued and cared for. One guest recently remarked, "Claire doesn't just run a guest house - she creates experiences. Her recommendations made our trip to Scarborough so much more special than we could have planned ourselves." A Local Expert Having fallen in love with Scarborough herself, Claire delights in sharing her knowledge of the area with visitors. Her enthusiasm for the town's history, hidden gems, and beautiful coastline is infectious, and many guests find themselves exploring places they would never have discovered on their own. Claire knows exactly where to find the best fish and chips, which coastal walks offer the most spectacular views, and when to visit popular attractions to avoid the crowds
