The View is the best thing about this Hotel.

This Hotel could do with a serious upgrade. We would not have stayed longer in the room we had if it had been for more than one night. When we arrived and saw the view it was great, but then it went downhill. The en suite was not good at all, and the dinning room more like a canteen. After 17 days away staying at 12 different places, this was most disappointing. I will say no more.
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017

The Excellent, the Good and the Average

The Excellent were the staff, room décor and comfort, and food. The Good were the general facilities but overall, the hotel in places is looking tired. The Average were room facilities eg, no toilet brush, shower head not functioning properly. mirror set too high at dressing table and no light here either. We would go back there because of the staff, food and fantastic location and despite some of the negative comments above, we enjoyed our one night stay.

An overnight stop in a tour of the area

We received a warm welcome and friendly contact from all the staff we came into contact with. The room was clean and all equipment in the room was in good condition. There was limited space in the room. The bathroom was well appointed and spacious and the bath, shower, basin and toilet were all in good condition and looked relatively new. There was limited towel rail space and nowhere to put wash bags except on the floor.

Excellent Location & Lovely Staff

We had a few issues due to a leak in the room on arrival which was totally out of the staffs control however the staff dealt with this issue immediately and moved us to another room. They then went on to buy us dinner and a lovely bottle of wine because of the inconvenience all of which was unexpected but very much appreciated. The hotel has a lovely location with excellent views, the rooms are spacious, the food is to an excellent standard and all the staff at the hotel go above and beyond to ensure that you have a wonderful stay. We shall be going back soon

Lovely quiet Hotel

My Husband & I stayed here for only 1 night. It's a lovely small hotel with a nice restaurant & small bar, in a quiet location on the hilltop overlooking the sea. Both the interior & the outside seating areas were kept very clean & the staff were all warm & friendly. We stayed in a lovely en-suite room with a partial view of the sea..it had all the usual facilities & a reall comfy bed. Can't comment on the lunch/dinner menus as we only had breakfast, which was lovely. It's in a great location for walkers...quite near to the beach, however, it is a steep descent to it - which isn't a problem as there are quite a few resting areas. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a quiet stay.

Lovely room, very clean but en-suite a bit small. Beautiful view of the sea out of our window. Food was good especially the Whitby Cod. Short stay but very enjoyable, would go again.

great stay

This was a lovely hotel and the staff were fantastic, the area is very quiet and there isnt much in the way of pubs/resteraunts but there is miles of great walks and a lovely beach, only downside for me was no skysports so i couldnt watch the football! Other than that i would recommend it for a nice quiet getaway
