Oude meukk
Pros:

Weer hadden met vrienden in de buurt afgesproken dus locatie was handig.

Cons:

Oud vervallen gebouw naast een pub. Deuren klappen hard dicht, tv werkt niet goed, geen extra handdoek want de was was net weg...
TV in gezamenlijk ruimte werkt niet om voetbal s nachts te kijken, geen medewerking.

Reasonably ok to stay
Pros:

The cleanliness of the place, the spacious room and bathroom, the tea making facilities even though there was no plug near the kettle.

Cons:

Too much heat 🥵 in the room even though window was open coming from downstairs, the day bed had 3 missing bars but both beds were uncomfortable for me so didn't sleep very well

Awful
Pros:

Having stopped here previously, twice in fact, and found it good value for money, we decided to return, only to find we didn't have a room!! despite booking it in March 2026, for a stay scheduled for May! the property blamed booking.com!! very poor service on arrival and staff didn't seem to care we'd travelled 160 mile with two dogs, for a 2 night stay and had to travel home again due to accommodation being rare with two canines!! we weren't prepared to hang around in the hopes an alternative could be found, as by this time it was 8.30 pm!!! will never book again!!!

Happy to recommend
Pros:

Just wanted a night by the coast and this was the cheapest dog friendly available. Was really pleased when we arrived, it was nice, clean,kettle and tea/coffee, really comfy bed. Unfortunately no en suite but bathroom next to bedroom so no problem.
Pub on site was nice and friendly, there was plenty of grassed areas for dogs to use.

Cons:

Only 3 little milks on the drink tray, probably OK for most but I drink a lot of tea!
Everything else was lovely

Pros:

The locality to Scarborough centre. It was comfortable and the access to the rooms easy enough.

Cons:

The downstairs area could do with an upgrade. This place has so much potential but lacks it due to not being updated

Very disappointing
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

They state food served till 8pm but upon my arrival at 7.15pm they advised me that they had finished serving food and suggested I could order food from a takeaway App.

All round a bit of a dump.
