Breakfast was delicious, plentiful and perfectly cooked. The location is great. A couple of minutes walk from Peasholm Park, and about 15 minutes walk from the station. A short walk through the park to reach the promenade. A lovely seating area outside at the front. Perfect for the early morning coffee. I will definitely be returning.

    Great location but very steep hills. Fantastic views. Quiet. Easy access to high promenade. Convenient for pubs/bars/restaurants. Town centre 20 min walk. Adjacent to Scarborough Castle - well worth visiting.

    Cosy guest house, a friendly welcome, shared lounge very comfy, nice to meet other guests. Great location in front of walk down to clock cafe and a few minutes walk over to south bay and town. Free on street parking. Breakfast freshly cooked and very good. Comfortable bed. Although the room was not overly big it was sufficient for what we needed. Clearly the owners take a lot of care and pride in the accommodation they provide.

    Great location, nice and quiet and just up the road from Scarborough. Everything was spotlessly clean in the room and everything is really spacious. The staff were so lovely, the lady that checked us in and served us in the bar was so lovely. Yummy breakfast too.

    The host is exceptional, so friendly. I had loads of questions about Scarborough which she was more than pleased to answer in detail and gave me information. The hotel is in a great location, the rooms well equipped, and it has a nice lounge. The breakfast was fabulous and the service second to none. I would thoroughly recommend this guest house.

    As we were attending a concert at the open air theatre and also wanting to explore the town we found the location to be ideal. Parking was not an issue as the guest house issued us with a parking permit for the duration of our stay. Great hosts and a good quality cooked to order breakfast.

    Lovely Gillian is the perfect host in this very clean and tidy guesthouse in a great location very close to North Bay and Peasholm Park. She was extremely welcoming, making sure that everyone had everything they needed and provided a most delicious breakfast each morning. I had a single room with a comfortable bed and a very good shower. All measures were in place for current restrictions. It was lovely not to have children running around and my stay was enjoyable and peaceful. Thank you so much, Gillian. I will be back!
