Ivanhoe

The Ivanhoe in Scarborough offers a standout opportunity for an operator looking to run a successful pub-restaurant with boutique accommodation on the North Yorkshire coast. Directly opposite North Cliff Golf Course and just a short walk from Scarborough’s seafront, the Sea Life Centre, Peasholm Park, and the Open Air Theatre, this well-located pub already attracts steady trade from tourists, golfers, and locals. With a large bar and restaurant, home-cooked food offer, and spacious beer garden, The Ivanhoe is perfectly placed to thrive year-round.

Upstairs, the pub benefits from five individually styled letting rooms and four additional top-floor rooms with scope for refurbishment or expansion (subject to planning). Many rooms enjoy peaceful views across the golf course, with most offering en-suite facilities that appeal to coastal holidaymakers and short-break travellers. This is an ideal opportunity for an operator experienced in pubs with rooms who can maximise the site’s strong location, develop the accommodation further, and deliver great hospitality to both locals and visitors.

The Ivanhoe, Scarborough, offers a private publican’s flat that provides comfortable on-site living, ideal for a small family. The accommodation includes two bedrooms, a functional kitchen, a bright living room, and a bathroom, giving the new operator a practical and welcoming home above the business. Its layout offers privacy and convenience while still keeping the operator close to the heart of the pub, making it an excellent base for anyone looking to balance family life with running a busy coastal venue.
