Enjoyable stay in a good location
Pros:

The property was away from the main buzz of Whitby but a few minutes on a bus or taxi. Best of both worlds

Cons:

The carpets needed a deep clean to freshen the halls and stairs. Needed a little tlc to get full marks.

Pros:

Excellent pub, comfy room and great location out of town and peaceful.

Cons:

Very minor gripe but the TV screen was the size of a laptop and was difficult to view...but then again we didn't go away for a break to watch TV!

It was a one night break away and for that reason it was adequate .Relieved not any longer
Pros:

The breakfast was very good and the lady providing it was great.

Cons:

Cleanliness outside. Perhaps a good sweep around. The mattress in room 6 was horrendous …..we could feel all the springs. There were no hangers at all in the wardrobe and no lock on the bathroom door. Fire regulations were only partially filled in. The 9.3 rating so prominently displayed was from 2016!!! Too many stairs to room six and we had asked for rooms together. The rooms next to my sister in Room 1 appeared to be empty. Last but not least I banged my head on the low ceiling when trying to look out of the low bedroom window.

Great stay, throughly enjoyable.
Pros:

It was only a short drive from the town centre. It has a lovely cosy pub and a great view from our window.
The food was great as well as the staff.

Cons:

We were in room 3 and my only complaint is that the bed was extremely uncomfortable, consequently we didn’t get much sleep.

Fabulous food, lovely hosts and a great location - the first of many stays!
Pros:

The room was lovely, with a fab view out over the moors.
The staff were fabulous and friendly.
The food was fantastic, both the evening meals and the cooked breakfasts.

Cons:

Small things, but a few hangers in the wardrobe would have been really useful, as would a bottle of shampoo to go with the body wash provided.
