Perfect location just outside Scarborough perfect for the outside concerts. Just 5-10mins drive. We had one of the outside little rooms at the back of pub with double bed and ensuite. 2 nights there and loved the pub the staff and food. Great location for Whitby, Robin Hood bay and Scarborough all in less than 30min drive.

Friendly Relaxing Hotel
Very nice friendly hotel, good breakfast each morning, also used the restaurant each evening, and excellent menu choices, reasonable priced, we really enjoyed all meals we had. Bedroom, room 4 at front of hotel, was clean bright, and clean, with plenty of drawers large wardrobe, with ensuite. Slight noise from main road but window had double glazing. Plenty free parking in car park at rear of hotel, we did not use our car for the three day stay, as bus stop right outside hotel in both directions for Scarborough 10min and Whity 20 min straight fair of £2 each way, so no parking costs which are expensive at £4.40 for two hours. Would definitely recommend staying here if on the area.

Nice
Really nice place let down by a desperate need to upgrade the decor and fix the plumbing. Whilst we couldn't fault the cleanliness, the water pressure in the shower was little more than a trickle. The decor is very dated. Our room overlooked a surprisingly busy main road which was noisy when the windows were open (a must in the heat, the room was very hot). The pub itself is lovely and a great base for getting around.

Excellent place to stay.
A traditional pub with rooms-fabulous food,all the staff are really friendly and welcoming. The room was a decent size with a small but adequate bathroom. Furnished in keeping with the age and style of an old pub but all very clean. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have a larger and more comfortable bed. Breakfast cooked to order which was delicious. Free parking. Bus stop outside to go to either Whitby or Scarborough for £2! Cheaper than town centre parking. The B & B rate is great value for money. I would have no hesitation in returning or recommending.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was cold, wardrobe door didn’t close, one waitress was unco-operative when I requested cheese and biscuits instead of dessert then later served them to the next table. When my husband quietly questioned her about this in the bar when paying the bill, she denied knowing anything about it. We stayed there before COVID for several days and enjoyed our visit but now would neither return nor recommend it to others The food was good and breakfast staff excellent. Pity about the evening!
