2 nights at The Forge
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at The Forge, our room was on the top floor. It was cosy with a sofa so you could watch tv. There was coffee and tea facilities which was nice. Our room was clean and tidy and so was the bathroom. We had evening meal which the food was beautiful piping hot. We also had breakfast which yet again was very nice. The staff were really nice and friendly during our stay and they made us feel welcome. We definitely recommend The Forge and if we are in the area again then we would love to stay at The Forge again.

Cons:

Nothing

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.
