Bedroom was to a good standard, bathroom was smart and immaculate, breakfast was extremely good and the staff were attentive and always to go further if required.
Easy walking distance to the sea front / town center. Great room, facilities and breakfast.
Owners were very easy to talk to and very helpful.
Will stay again.
Lovely hotel and friendly staff, very clean, decor great and food and drink spot on. Visiting with family to go to Oliver's Mount racing but will definitely use again for a stay in Scarborough X
Clean, comfortable, and convenient. Simon and Sarah were wonderful hosts for our two-nights stay. English breakfast and small bar with beer and cocktails made for a delightful stay. Friendly conversations with hosts were an added benefit!
We had an amazing stay. Grandsons loved the pool room, played cards as well. The bedroom was so lovely and spacious, comfortable. Had everything we needed towels, ensuite. Thank you so much. Definitely recommend you. Breakfast was delicious 😋
Warm welcome, sorted out a 2 day parking permit no problem. Room was spacious, clean and plenty of beverage selection.
Breakfast was very tasty and filling.
Made to feel welcome by all the staff.
Definitely will be back
Amazing hotel. A real find. The owners are so welcoming. The room has everything you need- particularly Yorkshire tea bags. The facilities were fantastic for the price and what we needed for a weekend stay. Moretti on tap and a pool table in the cosy bar. The breakfast was exceptional. Will definitely stay again and would highly recommend.
Very comfortable property and felt like home from home. Staff very helpful and attentive. Well situated near to beach, shops, restaurants and bars. Would definitely return and recommend this hotel to others considering a holiday in Scarborough.

Our family had a truly wonderful stay at this charming and welcoming hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home thanks to the warm hospitality of the staff. Each morning began with a delicious full English breakfast, complete with quality coffee and cheerful service that set a positive tone for the day.
The location was perfect for our family — just a pleasant 10-minute walk to the beach, which our kids absolutely loved. It was the ideal base for a relaxing and enjoyable seaside getaway.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return here again in the future!
