It takes its name from the panorama from its windows – stretching across the SeaLife Centre and to Scalby Mills one way and to the castle and its headland on the other. The View was relaunched two months ago as part of a multi-thousand pounds refurbishment of the family-run hotel by its new owners Matthew and Tyfanwy Scott.
