Arrived to be given a key and parking disc , friendly but nobody overnight at a reception, big room but found it very noisy with the seagulls and road noise as single glazed windows , tap wobbly and no waste cover in shower , should have unplugged the fridge as noisy at night on and off , no plug point near the dressing table so couldn’t see when drying hair , did smell like a greasy spoon !!!

The room we stayed in, no 3, was a beautiful room. It was large and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was lovely as well, with a walk in shower. It's an easy walk into the town and to the Stephen Joseph theatre where we saw a brilliant play. I would definitely recommend it.

The room was clean and plenty of towels, tea coffee biscuits etc.
My only concern was the VERY low ceiling height at one side due to the eves of the building! Very dangerous, bumped my head , but would be a lot worse for someone elderly or frail?
In addition we were woken at around 6.30 with beer bottle collection, then 7.30 when they decided to rip the road up!

Quirky b&b with a wonderful little cafe downstairs. Service not the fastest but food very good.
Only quibble was the very low beams in the top floor bedroom and the window didn’t open very well.

Nice place, would stay again.
Breakfast is awesome. Most of the staff are friendly, bathroom was clean, staircases are clean, modern furnishings. Owner was lovely.
Only downside was that the beds were quite uncomfortable and it was roasting hot, even with the radiators off and the window open.
But good value for what we paid.

Situated in a great location, walkable to cliff trams and beachfront, grocery and shopping mall. Loved the little cafe downstairs, very convenient for breakfast. Staff very friendly. Room & washroom were very spacious and clean. Appreciated the bar fridge in the room! Housekeeping should be reminded to announce themselves before accessing room.

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Lovely staff, very cosy and clean, just on the peripheral of Scarborough town, and easily within walking distance of 4 60 somethings. Breakfast was excellent, with a range of items to suit all tastes. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Great value and excellent breakfast

This is a well maintained bed and breakfast which has recently been redecorated throughout and feels fresh and clean. The breakfast was excellent. A great choice including Eggs Benedict, smashed avocado, pancakes, full English and vegan options. The poached eggs and hollandaise sauce were perfect, better than many four star hotels I have stayed in.
Handwash and shower gel were in eco-friendly refillable dispensers, although we did have to get our handwash refilled on arrival and it did leak on the floor. Also had to go downstairs to find the WiFi code as it was not in the room information.
These are tiny niggles, on the whole the stay was great. Staff were friendly and helpful, the WiFi worked very well and the bed was comfortable. Our room (no 2) had plenty of space and was excellent value for money. Highly recommend.
