What an amazing break

The B&B was far above expectation. The owner went above and beyond for us. The location was exceptional and close to everything we needed. We will definitely be visiting again and recommending to friends and family

Arran

I had a nice stay in Arran, where I stayed for three nights while visiting and exploring North Yorkshire Moors. The manager of the hotel was extremely nice, friendly and very helpful, you ask and you have :-)) The room was clean and comfy enough for what I needed travelling on a budget. The single bed seemed to be very small but it might be due to the fact that I'm used to a king size one. Shared bathroom was for my solely use, which was very nice. The hotel is in a very short walking distance to the sea front. There is no car park so you have to park your car on the road. It's free for overnight from 5pm until 9am. It was very quiet during my stay, and there was no breakfast served due to the new regulations - Covid-19. Overall it's a very good place to stay for the price, and the location is a big bonus

Really good value for money in this very population location on Marine Road. There are lots of B&B's on this street in Scarborough that are all very similar so finding the best value for money led me here. The staff are really pleasant and friendly, the breakfast was really good (choice of cooked with vegetarian option too) and your usual cereal/toast/jam etc.

For what you pay it's fine.
christopher, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I didn't like any of it. Shabby and dirty. Old crumbling house. Wind whistling off the North Shore all night. Thought I was in a remake of The Hound of the Baskerville's. Breakfast dreadful. Cremated sausage, undercooked egg. No offer of butter for toast. No offer of fruit juice to drink. Cheap coffee. Plain horrible.

Close to the cricket ground, close to Scarborough town centre parking available nearby.Clean nice coffee with breakfast good value.Lots of stairs 50 to room 7 washing facilities adequate but not brilliant.Would stay again but try to get ensuite rooms.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great short break!

The room with shared bathroom was comfortable and clean and adjacent to a shower cubicle and close to the bathroom and toilet. It was perfectly adequate for a one night stay.The full english breakfast with cereal toast and orange juice was well cooked and presented and served in a friendly manner with extra toast and tea or coffee offered without question. The location, adjacent to the Cricket Ground, is ideally situated for the local attractions of North Bay, the Open Air Theatre and Peasholm Park, yet still reasonably accessible to the town centre,harbour and South Bay. All in all very good value for money for a short break away to a great traditional seaside resort, particularly as a single traveller, where single rooms are often charged at a premium rate .

6/10 Good

A basic boarding house style b&b. No one can really complain at these prices. Check-in was over the phone so a charged mobile is essential. It felt a bit faceless meeting no-one until breakfast, it was hard to know if there were staff available overnight or not.

Business trip

I had a really good trip. After my business day finished I made my way to the B+B, lots of parking spaces available. Made my way I to the B+B, went to a steakhouse nearby , then back for a great sleep. Then had a decent breakfast in the morning. Couldn't fault it
