Superb
Clean, lovely rooms, private /free parking, nice and friendly hosts, Paula and Tony are very helpful and accommodating and add nice little touches in rooms etc. Fridge in all rooms was nice to have. Good quality breakfast. Good location.
The breakfast was lovely. Ideally situated for the North and south bays. Very clean and the home made treats from Paula was a very nice bonus. Both Paula and Tony went out off their way to make your stay enjoyable
The reception with fresh tea, the very clean room en the view
Lovely hotel, the hosts Paula and Tony are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Fantastic sea view due to the location, lovely and clean rooms with lots of nice little extras. On the whole a very pleasant stay. Even the weather came good.
As we arrived we were met by the hosts - they were amazing. Greeted us arrival and made us a much appreciated cuppa ( and biscuits). Explained what was happening in Scarborough and very knowledgeable about the best eateries. Lovely touches - some free nuts to take with us when visiting Peasholme Park, a personalised message as we got into our room, home baked biscuits. Breakfast is also recommended - just delicious!
The breakfast was very good, there was ample to choose from and all freshly cooked.
Excellent
Had a lovely 3 night stay at this place, this place is absolutely spot on, lots of nice little touches and excellent facilities, the hosts Tony and Paula are very nice and helpful but not intrusive, must give a mention also the the excellent breakfast. We’ve stayed over in Scarborough many many times over the last nearly 40 years and this is up there with the best place we’ve stayed, I’m sure we’ll be back next year and will be looking forward to staying here again. Oh and thanks for the lovely biscuits and Paula’s homemade shortbread, very yummy.
Great location
Excellent little hotel in great location. Hosts Tony and Paula provided a great welcome with a cuppa and lots of useful local information. Lovely breakfast in pleasant breakfast room. Bedroom and communal areas all spotlessly clean. Great to have a parking space and many attractions and restaurants within walking distance. Seaview room on top floor with great views .
Very good location Wonderful view,parking onsite.
Lovely cooked breakfast, cereals, juices, coffee/tea. The location of the hotel was very nice. A view of the sea - courtesy of binoculars present in all rooms - upon sunrise and sunset. The location was also very quiet, away from the busy South facing sea front. The Hosts were very accommodating, providing dining out suggestions, recommending activities and days out excursions in the surrounding areas.
Everything
Property was super clean and comfortable. Location was great with fantastic views over the North Bay (we were on the top floor).Hosts Paula and Tony were both very friendly and welcoming and very efficient in making and serving the lovely breakfasts.
Breakfast was excellent! Location perfect for access to North or South Bay and Town centre.
The hotel was spotless, very comfortable and relaxed and in a fantastic location to get around. The breakfast was fantastic,, anything and everything you can imagine served to order and piping hot. We had a personal note from Paula and Tony left in the room when we arrived and homemade shortbread biscuits (which were fabulous and a lovely touch). There is a mini fridge in room which was helpful and fresh milk for use in coffee/tea. All in all a lovely place and lovely owners, will definitely be back.
