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.

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!

Booked a superior double room. Very comfortable king sized bed. Room and premises very clean. We arrived over 3 hours early, happy to let us have room early. Had a delicious full English breakfast each morning. Looked after us very well, gave very helpful local information. Will for sure return.

Scarborough Overnight Stay

I had a one night stay here in a twin room and it was fantastic. The location was ideal and everything was clean and tidy. Our room was ready when we arrived around 12 so we checked in and then went off to explore Scarborough. The full English cooked set is up for the day too. All in all a great B&B which is highly recommended.
