8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel and staff were first class. I would rate a 5*, but for two things: -No air conditioning in the bedrooms in the main hotel. I believe this is planned at some stage. - we had the snug room on the top floor. Lovely room and big bathroom. But it had 4 velux windows and so no view. Not a major problem as we only stayed for a short 2 night break. However the real problem was at night, when heavy rain made us feel we were in a drum. So sleep deprived both nights. It is worth paying a bit more for a room on the first or second floors. Martin Hill"

"Lovely stay at the stables, welcoming friendly staff, the breakfast and evening meal during our stay was really good. Bar prices aren’t the cheapest but similar to what we paid in Whitby. Location is across the road from the park and ride into whitby that takes about 5/10 mins on the bus."

"Hotel was clean and central location. Only problem we had was the time it took to check in. The queue was MASSIVE and snaked all around the foyer. Other customers were telling us it took them over an hour to get checked in so we went away and came back two hours later. Other than that it was fine."

"Room was very outdated and small, window was next to a brick wall. But clean, new bathroom, comfortable bed. Good restaurant and bar, but absolute chaos at breakfast due to sheer numbers, but staff were present and helpful maintaining supplies. Parking in surrounding area was easy and cheap. A proper old-fashioned seaside hotel but with modern facilities - excellent value for money."
