Great location
4.3
A nice family hotel clean rooms and lovely breakfast. Hotel hosts friendly but mot overbearing, location was excellent with stunning sea views overlooking the beach on North Bay, would definitely book again if we came back to Scarborough.
If I'm being picky it was that there is no evening meals available at this hotel. but that's a personal thing and we found plenty of places to dine out at night.
4.3
The hotel was well looked after couldn't fault it
We were on top floor but that was our fault as we didn't specify lower floor when booking
4.3
Being on the ground floor was very convenient. Enjoyed having a drink in the bar and nice chat with Darryl.
Slight problem with getting the shower temperature as thermostatic knob was stuck.

Great family run business!! Very polite, friendly and helpful staff. Perfect stay with an amazing view! I was worried about parking due to location but owner was very helpful and handed me a parking disc. Price varies depending on how long your staying, I payed £2 for a 24hrs so not bad really.
Room was great but as it was a little small the room gets very hot. Be great if a little fan was added to the room.
4.3
Food was excellent
Room view was fair
Room was a little small but adequate
Unfortunately being that I have arthritis walking up and down stairs was a bit of a challenge. And parking in the street can be difficult as there are a lot of guest houses along the street.

Didn’t take advantage of the breakfast so was pretty much just somewhere to store our things and rest or heads while on holiday. Beds were very comfortable, room was very quiet (apart from the seagulls outside but nobody could do anything about that).
Would definitely be happy to go again.
A couple of tiny nitpicks… I hadn’t realised we were going to be on the top floor and I have a little problem with my knees so the stairs caused a minor discomfort but can’t really be helped. Second thing: I guess the hot water was shared throughout the whole guesthouse? Twice I had my shower a little later in the morning and had to settle for luke warm water one day and cold the next - lesson: get a shower first thing ;)

Staff and food great. Thank you. No shortage of what you wanted and great location.
Rooms a bit on the small side and ours had a bit of a funny smell at the corner - room 8. Thought we'd, booked a room with a view, but had a backyard panorama. Bit noisy in the morning with work going on nearby, but I guess not the hotel's fault.

Everything went well and suited what we wanted

Brilliant quite hotel with great seaviews and great location to the north bay and town centre.
Friendly staff and owners Darrell couldn't do any more for us whilst we stop there
The beds were not comfortable. Over the off season they need to renew the mattress and pillows

Very present stay at the rockside, great location, staff very friendly and welcoming, breakfast was lovely, room very clean with a lovely sea view,
4.3
Good position between both the bays and very clean.
The bedroom could have been a bit more cheerful. And the yards from other properties behind were very scruffy and dirty which I know is not ur problem but not nice to look out onto , SORRY.

Lovley service, perfect location 10 minute walk down to South Bay where the children loved with luna Park, arcades and plenty of restaurants and shops. We pretty much walked everywhere, North Bay beach front 5 min walk also would definitely recommend the Waterpark which was roughly 25min walk. Very clean room, and perfect breakfast choice. TV in both rooms, and plenty of clean towels. We stayed in the family suite.
The children didn't want to leave. Also only 5 min walk to the Scarborough Castle, absolutely stunning views up there. The staff was very friendly, especially the young gentleman. Beds very comfortable all in all absolutely brilliant stay at the rockside for 5 nights. Thank you.

Disappointed as very small room as could hardly get past bottom of bed. Newish bathroom but no shelf in shower and toilet roll holder came off
4.3
We liked the seperate rooms and space, the bathroom was nice and modern and clean.
The family roombcould have been better equipped for a family. For instance there was no coat hooks, could do with a mini fridge for babies milk, high chair...

Loved the sea view rooms and a good breakfast!
Very early check out!

I appreciated the following covid measures:
- pre-ordered breakfast with dedicated slot;
- sanitizer in the common areas;
- the possibility to have take away food in the dining area;
The view was great.
The fact that we got the parking permit at arrival without any fuss was convenient.
The room was too small for a family room;
The bathroom was not properly cleaned;
I understand that rooms are not cleaned during the stay and I believe a better option should be provided for throwing the rubbish instead of asking the guests to use the public street bins.
