4- and 5-star hotels in Bridlington
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Bridlington, from seafront addresses a few steps from the beach to country houses out towards Flamborough. It suits couples, families and anyone planning a short break on the Yorkshire coast.
Staying in Bridlington
Bridlington is a traditional seaside town known for its sandy beaches, working harbour and historic Old Town with its medieval priory church. The seafront promenade gives easy access to the beach and many of the town's attractions, the harbour area mixes accommodation with pubs and restaurants, and inland the Old Town is known for Georgian architecture and independent shops. South of the centre, Wilsthorpe has a quieter, more residential feel close to the South Beach.
These hotels and guest houses sit mostly in and around the town centre and the seafront, with several on or just off the Flamborough Road and Shaftesbury Road sides of town, and a few further out towards Kilham and the countryside. That spread suits couples wanting a short walk to the beach, families needing space and family rooms, and guests with a car who prefer a quieter base for exploring the coast and the Yorkshire Wolds.
