Great, really happy.
Pros:

We booked within 15 minutes of arriving and caught the manager slightly by surprise. But he was nothing but helpful in getting us in and getting our room ready. They've only just taken over the pub. The rooms are basic but very clean and it was incredibly good value for money.

There was plenty of room to store our bikes, and it's only a short hop into Scarborough, even if it's quite hard pedalling.

Served the purpose
Pros:

Room size was adequate and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

I did not check that breakfast was included when I booked. I thought I had put into the bookings.com criteria.

Other issue was I expected the room to be ensure so was very disappointed that had to go down the corridor for shared bathroom.

Lovely relaxing stay
Pros:

Unfortunately, we were not able to experience the food, as the place had just been taken over by new owners, so they were not serving food as the kitchen was being cleaned. However, the new owners were very accommodating and gave us several options on where to eat locally. The bar staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and we spent two lovely evenings in the bar area. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We travelled with our small dog who was also well looked after.

Correcto para una noche, pero con bastante margen de mejora
Pros:

La estancia estuvo bien para pasar una noche y salir del paso, pero sinceramente no puedo destacar ningún aspecto especialmente positivo.

Cons:

La habitación era bastante pequeña y las almohadas presentaban manchas, algo que considero poco apropiado en un alojamiento. Además, el baño era compartido y no se encontraba especialmente limpio, aunque en este caso parte de la suciedad parecía deberse al uso de otros huéspedes.
En general, es un alojamiento que puede servir si simplemente necesitas un lugar donde pasar la noche, pero no lo recomendaría para una estancia más larga ni si buscas comodidad y unas buenas condiciones de limpieza.

Pros:

Lovely location and attractive looking upon arrival.

Cons:

The room and shared bathroom were dirty. Cobwebs and dust everywhere the bedside lamps were stained and bedding didnt smell very clean. The mattress was also extremely uncomfortable.The place is badly in need of a makeover. I think in future I would rather pay a little bit more to stay somewhere nicer. The price is lower than Scarborough town centre but I guess you get what you pay for. Wouldn't recommend.

A bit out of the way but value for money needs updating the rooms and a good clean
Pros:

The girl on the bar she was lovely and told us about the bus from the concert back to the hotel where it would be waiting and it saved us some money

Cons:

The fact that the kitchen wasn’t open when we arrived as we hadn’t ate so that was disappointing and there is literally nothing around where you could go for food

Decent place
Pros:

Good stay, the room was good. Good closet space.

Cons:

Some minor repairs needed but overall the room was ok.
Shared bathroom was a little concerning as a female but as there are few rooms it wasn't so bad.
