We had a ground floor room which was nice and clean but didn’t have an outside window which was a bit strange. The included breakfast was actually in a cafe next door to the property. Good location for the Open Air Theatre.

Does not serve breakfast !!
Booked as breakfast included but was told on arrival no breakfast is provided. No discount or refund for breakfast , just told no , we don’t do breakfast. Basic room , shower was very hot and not powerful at all , it was a mission trying to use it without getting burnt. Room clean enough and we slept ok . No parking , the street is crammed full of cars , we got lucky squeezing into a spot down an alley but it’s not ideal. We booked for location for the open air theatre , it’s perfect for this only 5 minutes down the road. It doesn’t really seem to be a manned hotel , I texted the guy with our arrival time and he was there to give us the keys but we never saw anyone after that. We wouldn’t book this place again purely for the breakfast issue

Not as good as the ratings
Didn’t quite live up to the rating in our opinion. Building and room had a musty, almost damp smell to it. Breakfast is at a cafe next door, which was good but you only get a £5.50 limit. A small breakfast is £5.50 which means you have to pay for your drinks. Breakfast should always include a cuppa!! Shower pressure in room 5 was borderline awful. Host was a nice chap. All it all, it wasn’t unpleasant but will try elsewhere next time.

Under new management
New owner from late July/early August. No owner or manager on site. Check in requires phone call to owner who will arrive in 10 minutes to let you in. Kitchen being refurbished so no breakfast. Breakfast at nearby restaurant is partially subsidized by owner if you had paid for it at The Meltham. Fire alarm doesn't work in all rooms - we had a false alarm which took 20 minutes for the owner to respond and turn it off - no Fire Department response. Our room was cleaned on the first 2 days but not on the 3 remaining days. Only soap in the room was one small bar. Shower never worked properly despite owner's attempts to correct. Towels very poor quality and were replaced only when requested.

Clean & comfy, wasn't anybody around to get any milk, or extra tea or coffee. A hairdryer would be a big bonus in the room, otherwise a comfortable stay.

Good Experience In Scarborough
A good experience overall. The B&B had just been acquired by a new owner immediately prior to our arrival and so some of the signage around the premises wasn't up to date and a couple of things were unusual. Breakfast was at the cafe next door, with a set budget which we could pay above if we wanted more - this was actually quite flexible and worked well for us, although we couldn't have breakfast until the cafe opened at 9am which meant starting later on our day than we would have preferred. We also did not have WiFi throughout the visit as the password had changed and we weren't given the new one despite requesting it, which was the only real issue with an otherwise comfortable stay.

The hotel was ok, location was good. Breakfast was at a run down cafe at the end of the road. We had an allowance of £5.50 each to spend there each morning.

Description misleading.
The description is misleading. There is no bar & the breakfast is served at the cafe up the road. You can spend up to £7.50. The people who let us in acted surprised to see us & there was no one around for the majority of the time. No one to take the keys back at checkout time.
