What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Breakfast brilliant, bed comfortable, Tea , coffee etc topped up daily, very friendly. Excellent”
“We have visited Scarborough several times, but this hotel is the best one we've stayed in. Upon arrival, the owner welcomed us with a complimentary brew, immediately making us feel at home. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable, featuring a beautifully dressed large double bed and two single beds. The spacious bathroom had excellent water pressure. The location is fantastic, tranquil and, within walking distance of the local attractions. Breakfast is fantastic. It is made to order, with a starter and a proper, cooked breakfast. Vegetarian options are also available. Parking is free just outside the hotel. We are definitely planning to return. Highly recommended!”

“The hotel is in a great location close to Peasholm park. The 'small' room was not small at all and had a very comfy bed. The whole hotel is spotless and the owners are friendly and welcoming. A good choice of food to eat at breakfast too”
