Stayed for one night in room 6. Relatively small room but perfectly adequate and lovely clean and welcoming. Very comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The teddy bears in the room are a nice touch but a bit expensive to purchase.
All of the staff that I came into contact with were very good. Friendly without being overly so, and very welcoming.
Food was very good and prices (including drinks) were in my opinion good value for the money.
There are some very nice walks around the village and beautiful Whitby is only 20 minutes away. I will definitely be going back but would probably go for at least two nights.

....just how brilliant this hotel is. We stayed here for four nights, 9/1 to 13/1/12 in room 11, which is superb (see a previous review).
However, we first discovered the hotel in 2001 and have been returning regularly ever since. Since the owners took over in 2003 (Stuart, Nicky and Kay) it has improved immeasurably and in that time we have stayed in many of the rooms, with our budget determining the one we book, but we have never been disappointed.
We tend to eat in the Spout bar (public one) as we like the atmosphere, but always have one meal in the restaurant. We ate in there on our last night and the meal was excellent; really tasty.
The staff are brilliant, with a special mention to Jason, Catherine and Amanda, who are like old friends now.
When it's running, the train is well worth a trip; we like to go to Whitby on it. When there, the open top bus is a great way to see the town, before having a crab sarny in the Duke of York overlooking the harbour.
Also not to be missed is the Birch Hall Inn in Beck Hole, just outside of Goathland, which has to be seen to appreciate it - it's wonderful.
There are great places to visit, like Robin Hoods Bay, but the real gem is the moors. Drive round and soak them in.
This is a fabulous hotel at any time of the year, but, in the late afternoon, when the fires are roaring and my glass is full (hot chocolate mug for my wife), is there anything better???

We stayed at this hotel for a weekend break & found it to be just wonderful!!! The staff are so helpful and polite, the room was beautiful, as is the location, and the food is top class. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend and will definitely be staying at this lovely hotel again!!!
Thank you to the staff for a perfect weekend!

This is our fourth visit to The Mallyan Spout Hotel in six weeks.
I am writing this review in the hotel's lounge, sitting by a roaring log fire, whilst waiting for a hand carved, Yorkshire ham 'butty' and a pint of one of their 'local ales'!
This hotel is simply wonderful in every way! The staff are friendly and so hospitable, nothing is too much trouble for them. The rooms are just perfect; spotlessly clean, pristine bed linen, luxurious seating areas, plush furnishings, fluffy white towels, well stocked hospitality trays (with lovely handmade biscuits) and 'priceless views' overlooking either the church or countryside........ I could go on and on!
The food in both the restaurant and lounge is delicious (the 'Twice Baised Brisket in Black Sheep Ale' with Horseradish Mash is gorgeous!). The excellent choice at breakfast is also superb (Full English with Black Pudding, Local Whitby Kippers, Smoked Haddock, Locally Baked Bread, also an excellent selection of Fresh Fruit and Preserves).
The Mallyan Spout is a lovely place to relax and unwind, it has a magical feel to it, cannot fault it in any way!
