An excellent place to stay, clean and friendly and a short walk to Peasholm Park, the Open Air theater and North Bay Beach. The roads are wider in this part of town and you can park for 3 hours on the street with a disc, or all day with a scratcher card from Alison. Room 2 is a well-planned and decorated double twin room with a spacious bathroom. There is a large tub and an easy to operate shower. The breakfast was excellent. If you have children with you, there is a games room in the basement to keep them entertained. A folder of places to visit is provided too.

Good Experience In Scarborough

A good experience overall. The B&B had just been acquired by a new owner immediately prior to our arrival and so some of the signage around the premises wasn't up to date and a couple of things were unusual. Breakfast was at the cafe next door, with a set budget which we could pay above if we wanted more - this was actually quite flexible and worked well for us, although we couldn't have breakfast until the cafe opened at 9am which meant starting later on our day than we would have preferred. We also did not have WiFi throughout the visit as the password had changed and we weren't given the new one despite requesting it, which was the only real issue with an otherwise comfortable stay.

Does not serve breakfast !!

Booked as breakfast included but was told on arrival no breakfast is provided. No discount or refund for breakfast , just told no , we don’t do breakfast. Basic room , shower was very hot and not powerful at all , it was a mission trying to use it without getting burnt. Room clean enough and we slept ok . No parking , the street is crammed full of cars , we got lucky squeezing into a spot down an alley but it’s not ideal. We booked for location for the open air theatre , it’s perfect for this only 5 minutes down the road. It doesn’t really seem to be a manned hotel , I texted the guy with our arrival time and he was there to give us the keys but we never saw anyone after that. We wouldn’t book this place again purely for the breakfast issue

This was a lovely guest house in a good location. The owners were very happy, jolly and welcoming. We had a nice sized room and bathroom with a good selection of teas, coffees and a kettle in the room. The lighting options were awesome. (So many places seem to have dim lighting!) The wifi was excellent and there were lots of power outlets and a fan. Everything was well thought out to meet a guests needs. We had an excellent Full English breakfast each in the morning with plenty of tea. The only 'bad' thing we had was we had to park a couple streets over due to a huge concert being in town that night. The owners gave us a parking disk to put on the car dash and it was free to park there overnight. More inconvenient than 'bad' as we had a lot of baggage and it probably isnt that bad on a normal night in town. After we checked in we took a lovely walk along the seafront which was an easy walk away. We also found a lovely pub just up the road. We would definitely stay here again. Thankyou!

Ideal for a quick overnight stay. We were only there to sleep. Room was quite basic but had the essentials and was nice and clean. Bathroom small with no window but served its purpose. Friendly staff at check in.

Average at most

Host was pleasant and said to ring if we needed anything. It said breakfast was included but didn't get given any details to where to go for breakfast. I saw others saying you had to go to a cafe up the road but I wasn't given any information. Beds were very comfortable. The shower was mouldy and only trickled out. It was ok for the few hours that we needed the room for.
