Excellent base for my family business, super food, lovely room and lovely people.
Pros:

Excellent evening meal with family member, then a comfortable night's sleep and a hearty full English breakfast (with a nice view of the local sheep also enjoying their breakfast). I was very well looked after by the staff who went "above and beyond" in relaying information and helping with a luggage situation. The food at a family function later was also excellent.

Cons:

Nothing really - basically all fine. A curtain across the small window might have kept the light out and prevented me from waking up too early, but that is the only comment I have.

Convenient Village Setting.
Pros:

Friendly helpful staff, brilliant freshly cooked breakfast, and excellent evening bar meals. The surrounding village was so peaceful, and the bus stop to Whitby a quick easy walk away. We were there on quiz night, which was great fun as we had befriended another 2 couples so even though we didn't enter the quiz, we did compare answers.

Cons:

The place was closed for a couple of hours mid afternoon, so had we arrived 20 minutes later, we could not have checked in until tea time. The fan from the kitchen droned through our room which was a problem for me. The fan was only on during food service times, so we left the room when it was on which wasn't ideal.

Highly recommend its welcoming staff, clean rooms and delicious food. Would stay again if in area
Pros:

Our evening meal was amazing, 6 of us, everyone chose a different meal and everyone loved it. The steak and mushroom pie was so tender and tasty it was delicious.Breakfast again was excellent with good quality items in the full breakfasts. Our room was spotlessly clean and quirky

Cons:

Only being picky, our room was on the top floor, would have preferred a lower room, but we hadnt asked for that so not a problem. Also we both banged our heads several times on the beams!, again our own faults for not being careful

Amazing stay, will be booking again.
Pros:

Thank you for an amazing stay.
Fantastic staff, polite, friendly and helpful. Evening meal was brilliant with plenty of choice of the menu and the specials board looked great too. After the meal we stayed and enjoyed the quiz plus bingo(Tuesdays), good laugh and a few drinks.
Room was lovely and relaxing, clean and well equipped, comfortable with enough space for two to feel rested.
Breakfast was a good choice again , we went for the full english, which went down very well and set us up for a great day around Whitby.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
