Lovely clifftop hotel with the most stunning views of Scarborough's North Bay. Room was very clean upon check-in, only flaw was no housekeeping but they would come clean your room and replenish anything if you request for it. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. Would definitely stay there again and ensure I book an oceanfront room.

We loved the Old-World style of the Hotel the room was small but comfortable and the shower was a challenge. The staff were courteous and very helpville and we enjoyed their attendance. The food was well presented although limited in scale the breakfast was just right.

The room was clean and welcoming and had excellent sea views. The receptionist who booked me in I felt like she couldn't be bothered, she gave me a form and asked me to put a context address on it and put my signature in a couple of places, while I was doing Thet she was stood tapping her nails on the reception counter and sighing, I found it uncomfortable, other staff thet I met seemed friendly and polite.

The rooms are huge! And as always spotless clean and well equipped. Only grumble was i paid extra for a sea view however while i could see the sea from the windows they were basically at head height so i had to stand to see anything which i feel is a bit misleading
