This is an excellent B&B, in an old, gothic building perched tight on top of the headland dividing Scarborough's two bays. The owner, John, welcomed us with a pot of fresh coffee, befriended our son and dog and generally made us feel very much at home. The communal areas are eccentric but our room (No. 1) was large, comfortable and... More

Unfortunately the reality was a little different! I would like to say though that the owners were nice and only too happy to help. We... More

John and Janet made us welcome during our stay. Cream tea offered on arrival (home made scones too) and use of garage no problem. The location is magnificent and room views exemplary.
