Myself and my fiancé booked a last minute overnight stay. Due to numerous reasons we have had an awful start to the year and wanted a affordable overnight stay near... read more our favourite places (Whitby, Runswick bay). The hotel is so lovely, like a home from home. We arrived to be told we’d be upgraded which was an amazing touch after the nightmare of this year has taken its toll on us both.
Our room was traditional and clean, the bathroom could do with a little love - it was clean but could do with updating and modernising. The staff were pretty amazing and made our stay feel so comfortable. We pre booked our evening meal ahead of time as they advised they were super busy. ‘Little Jack’ was our waiter and he couldn’t do enough for us, he was polite and attentive throughout the night and was just a nice guy. Food was beautiful! We both loved our meals, proper home cooked meals, it was perfect.
Thank you for a great overnight stay. We will definitely recommend you to friends and family. More

We booked a last minute break with our daughter and 2 dogs to the North East and hoped that this hotel lived up to it’s great reputation. As it was... read more our first ever trip away with the dogs, and given our concerns coming out of lockdown, we were more than a little anxious about our stay in a hotel. From the moment we stepped inside, met by Nicola’s warm welcome and big smile, we never looked back! They have exceptionally high standards and there is rigorous implementation of controlled hygiene and sanitisation measures in place around the hotel. We felt completely safe at all times in this spotlessly clean hotel where nothing is too much trouble for the extremely hardworking team of staff.
As for our 2 dogs - they were treated like royalty with dog bowls, balls, doggy biscuits and a blanket - had we known this we would have packed more lightly!! The dogs were welcome at all meal times and were made to feel like part of the big family.
Location is gorgeous - early morning dog walks always involved an encounter with a sheep or two or three... and the beer garden is a real sun trap.
Can not recommend this place enough and would certainly return if up in the North East.

One of the friendliest places I have stayed, especially for your four legged friends. The doggy welcome pack is a brilliant idea and included a toy that was well received.

Staff all friendly and clearly work hard as a well organised team to provide great service and facilities.
Loved all the different areas of the hotel inside and out, good food and a wide drinks selection when relaxing.
Spotlessly clean with clear COVID routines and guidance adhered too which gives a feeling of security in these difficult times.
Beautiful location for local walks or as a base for touring the area.
