Samantha 9.0

We loved this gem of a B&B, fabulous rooms decorated to a very high spec. Breakfasts are cooked fresh after you pre-order the day before! Excellent variety of cereals, fruit yoghurt in addition to a fantastic pre-order menu. We had salmon and poached eggs, advocado 🥑 and poached eggs as well as a traditional full English. All cooked perfectly 👌 we would highly recommend and will return when next in the Scarborough area. Top tip book direct for better rates.

Gemma 10.0

Absolutely everything was remarkable. The hosts thought of absolutely everything and provided an excellent service and enjoyable stay. Great to have private fridges with fresh milk daily for each room and there's a pantry with complimentary treats in which is just amazing! The hosts were very friendly and greeted us both by name on arrival and each morning at breakfast! Breakfast was amazing with high quality ingredients and a large range of continental options. Nothing was too much trouble! By far the best hotel I've stayed in, in this Great Britain!
