Pleasant 2 night stay
Pros:

Pleasant 2 night stay. Staff very helpful and courteous. Breakfast was tailored to my needs as I'm gluten intolerant. Bed looked a little shabby but very comfortable and therefore i slept very well (don't usually). Free parking and wifi was an added bonus.

Pros:

A good hotel, excellent staff & good breakfast. Nice location, quiet but easy access to Scarborough. The family room we had was a little on the small size & in need of some modernisation but overall the hotel was good.

comfy and clean, walkable to pubs
Pros:

This were lovely rooms (we booked two, as there was a group of four of us) and they were identical, except one had a shower, the other a bath. They were spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfy. Staff were very helpful, it is worth noting they don't serve food on Sundays but we were guided to a local pub within five minutes walk as an alternative.

Pros:

The staff at this hotel were great, very hospitable & great service. Restaurant & bar area lovely & great food. Sadly what let our stay down was our room (room 5). The beds were awful, there was no innings left in the mattress! Beyond soft & all you could feel was the springs. Worst night sleep on our overseas trip of 31 nights travelling. The floor went up & down (quirky) but the small bathroom there was no room to sit on the toilet unless you sat sideways & I'm only a size 10! It pushed you forward. We had no sleep due to the very old mattresses which must have been 20 years old. Sorry but the truth. Maybe we were just unlucky with our room. There was large cobwebs hanging from the ceiling light & a brown dirty stain in the cupboard under the sink. The room definitely needed a proper clean & in all honesty, apart from the good service by staff, room wise, olwe would not stay here again.

Pros:

I requested by phone call a vegan menu for my partner. Also spoke to reception on arrival.
Her breakfast consisted of 1 mushroom half a tomato and a portion of beans.
I was promised a refund for the breakfast.
Despite several phone calls.
Have not had the courtesy of a reply
Disgraceful would nor recommend to anyone.

Disappointing.
Pros:

Receptionist was very polite and helpful. The room was small and very basic and old fashioned, we didn’t even have a chair. It was quiet at night but once someone had their breakfast delivered to there room then everyone else was awake too, they didn’t do anything quietly, stomping and slamming doors and talking loudly although it was early. We decided to have evening meal at the lodge which was a mistake, the food was of a very poor standard and lacked any imagination. Although we were disappointed at the fact they don’t do cooked breakfast, it might have been a godsend that they only offer a continental ish breakfast to the room. I personally didn’t eat anything from this offering as I found it all unhealthy and the items full of sugar, only on the second morning there was two very green bananas. The only thing redeeming was the location. Perhaps fresh eyes on the customers journey from entering to leaving and everything they offer in between would be an improvement. I would definitely visit the area again but wouldn’t stay at the Lodge again.
