The staff were exceptional, all of them. Often theses days customer service is forgotten. My stay here reminded me what a difference it makes when the staff are well trained, friendly and helpful! Well done team.
I could not fault anything about my stay, rooms were a good size, the hotel and connected pub well decorated, modern and clean.
Food was great and especially the vegetarian burger was the best I had (I have been vegetarian for 40 years)! So much so, i asked where the get them from! I definitely recommend.

We stayed for one night. Plenty of parking available, room very good, clean facilities. As a hotel, it's very good.
The downside was the actual restaurant/bar.
We ordered lunch upon arrival - were told 'we're short of everything.. no baguettes, no bread except there's a few thin slices left from breakfast.. we can make you a sandwich with that if you like..' We were hungry after travelling 5.5hrs so accepted the 'sandwich'. Awful.
Also the next morning at breakfast time, the coffee machine was broken and we weren't allowed to make our own tea.. so joined the que.. 20mins later reached the hot water machine & the girl there, placed a tea bag in each of our cups & poured the water in.. Crazy. The water was just warm.. not hot enough for a cup of tea sadly. Ordered breakfast & was told 'you'll have a long wait as we don't have any staff. There's only 1 person here..'
This is not the fault of the people working in this establishment, it's management and to leave a young woman alone to fend off so many complaints about the time taken to serve hot (warm) drinks & a breakfast was very unfair.
I did tell her not to let things get on top of her.. but it was sad to witness as the place itself is very nice.
MORE staff needed - or at least more than 1 person!!

A decent base, walkable into the centre. This is a separate building to the pub so no late night noise except for others staying over. We stayed one night and this was enough but cleanliness, especially the bathroom, could be improved for longer stays. Staff checking in in the pub were friendly and helpful. Good selection of local options in the lobby.

We Have stopped at the lobster pot many time before over the years . On this occasion they put is in the disability room . The bathroom did not meet my expectations as the sink was to low with no pug, a low hook on the back of the bathroom door which both myself and wife kept catching our arms on.
The room itself was poor with marks along the wall where I presume wheelchairs have rubbed against it, stains on the carpet and only the main room lights worked not the bedside lights. With this room being next the the main stairwell we had to put up with the doors banging untill the early hours every night.
Looks like I will have to find alternative accomodation for my regular trip to Bridlington now

The hotel is in a lovely location with ample parking. The room was modern, nice, and clean with a secure window and comfortable beds. The WiFi was free, though there was only one chair. The bath and shower were great, but there was no toilet brush, and the sink didn't drain properly. The hotel dinner was good value for money, particularly the set menus. The hotel seemed quite busy, and the staff were very helpful and nice. I highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel - similar in style to a travel lodge /holiday inn. Really quiet. A/C that works! Very comfy beds and good shower.
We had an evening meal there and the food was spot on - I had the salad and it was delicious, really well-made. Hats off to the chef, Dani - thank you, you have real skill!
Overall the staff are lovely, very helpful, friendly and welcoming.
Sea is only 5min walk away.

The room was a little tired. The room was generally clean although there was dust on high areas such as TV, mirrors, etc., and though the bed linen was clean there were a few dark stray hairs which makes me think that hair is not always tied back before carrying out housekeeping tasks.

Car parking is free (which is a bonus) and they offer residents 20% off evening meals though not breakfast. The hotel is about a half-hour walk into town and there do not seem to be any places within closer walking distance except for the pub itself, which is a downside.

The check-in was smooth and the reception staff polite, though dour - it costs nothing to smile or be a little friendlier.

This is one of the best places we've stayed in for a long time. It was convenient to where we wanted to be, the room was clean and a good size but the thing that gets a 5 star review from us is the lovely staff. Katy and Chloe were exceptionally lovely, very helpful, friendly and welcoming to everyone. Katy was great with checking in and was our waitress in the evening, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Chloe was around in the mornings for breakfast shift. I saw her dealing with a family with extra needs and she was superb in her handling of those needs. I came away feeling that I would definitely like to stay there again, unlike a few other places we've stayed at. I hope that Marstons give Chloe and Katy a bonus for a 5 star review, and to be honest the rest of the team deserve a little something too as they were all friendly, but these two deserve an extra pat on the back :)

Easy location to find and convenient. The room was okay but a few black marks on the walls and some small areas of paint/plaster on the walls were missing, although the room was generally clean. Beds were comfortable too.
Food there was good, tasty and well priced and they were very conscious and wary of allergens, which was very reassuring. I would stay here again as the location is very convenient for visiting nearby Bempton Cliffs

We ate at the pub 4 times. 2 breakfasts which you had a decent choice although the orange juice was was quite watery. 2 evening meals which were nice but they were running out of items quite early and for a bank holiday it seemed that they hadn’t prepared for the amount of people.

Unfortunately the stay was not a pleasant one! We stayed for two nights and on arrival the room was set up as a twin, this was quickly resolved by staff though. We reported that the pillows were insufficient and need more , we were told they were full and had no spares. The worst thing was the bed which was very uncomfortable and due to the very thin worn mattress’s, they were very thin and it felt that the springs were digging in to you. On the plus side the pub was nice with decent food but the whole experience was let down by the total disregard for customer comfort.

Granted, we arrived a half hour before check in time. However rather than a \"good day and welcome\" the first words we got were \"you can't check in yet\". It was obvious that the hotel wasn't full. We asked if any rooms might be ready, we just got a shake of the head. Even if we were told that company policy was to stick to the check in time we would have understood. The young lady made us feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable. She had no idea how long we had travelled or if we were in a car or public transport. She made no offer to take our bag or have a drink whilst we waited for 30 minutes. Add to this poor quality food, for breakfast we got over cooked poached eggs served on burnt toast, in the evening the very tasty sounding mushrooms in garlic and covered in cheese turned out to be small tinned mushrooms in a thin liquid. Additionally we waited several minutes in the morning before anyone arrived to take details and show us to the breakfast table. In the evening the bar was unattended and we gave up waiting to get a drink. The bedroom was basic but appropriate for the cost, walls though has several large dirty masks and the carpet was stained.

Not a great stay, on arrival the room hadn't been cleaned properly, poo in the loo, I found a stick-on (used) eye lash in the bed and crumbs of some description across the carpet in various patches, in addition there was only 2 teabags available in the room meaninv only 1 drink for each of us!. We requested a double bed, but arrived to twin beds, the reception staff simply shrugged her shoulders and said, \"oh, the request obviously hasn't been read, it only needed zipping together, oh well\", which wasn't really the response i was expecting. Food was limited in the restaurant on the first evening, many items not available due to a busy service allegedly, though there was only 1 other couple in the pub at approximately 7.20pm. Staff did not appear friendly or welcoming, in fact we were left alone in the bar area whilst a subordinate went to find the relevant staff nember to compleye the check in process, though it's prudent to add, they were not rude either.

We ate Sunday lunch in the restaurant which was very dissapointing because it was clearly a microwave heated meal and the quality was not worth the money paid. Having said all this, I would stay in the hotel again.

I should have guessed when entering the the cold and empty bar area that things were not going to be the best. We had booked a couple of rooms and a table in the restaurant for a Christmas celebration, but the atmosphere was nothing like that - there was nobody behind the bar on x2 occasions we wanted to get a drink and we had to find a member of staff to serve us - Dinner was a complete fiasco! First I tried to order the set Christmas dinner - was told they did not have that, despite all the Christmas Menus, Posters and Website advertising for it! Next I tried ordering the Steak Pie - same answer, I then asked for the Sea Bass and was yet again informed it was off the menu - there then followed a bizzar debate on what exactly was on the menu (I was later informed by the Duty Manager that I had booked table in the Dog Friendly area and not the Festive Menu??? - How I made that 'mistake' I don't have a clue???) - finally ended up with a very un-festive and mediocre fish and chips and watching the occasional 'tumble weed' for entertainment
