We came and stayed here before - what could be almost 10 years ago, and it was nice to see the same lovely couple still running the place, and old fashioned style listed building. Within there's a good sized communal lounge with a mix of chairs and sofas. I found myself using this room to use my laptop, and while in there, an old book caught my eye all about the Germany Navy in WW1 shelling the town - I had no idea. The breakfasts were just as nice as I remember them - no cheap nasty bacon found here. Quality ingredients, cooked to perfection. The man, Ian did all the cooking, and Morna did the serving. As we were the only one's there during a quiet time, she had more time than usual to chat with us. As others have said, very nice and friendly. I think it's a difficult balance to strike when running a place like this, especially when few guests are in, to be overly chatty and in your face, vs holding back and an awkward silence - Morna's way of dealing with this, was to sit across the same room, reading something with a quiet distant radio. It might sound simple, but it worked great. Aside from the cooked English, is a variety of cereals, and freshly chopped up fruit, yogurts, toast and jam etc. All fresh - clearly this is where the extra bit of money goes that the larger places don't bother with. The hotel is very close to the castle on the hill, and although it's very close to the seafront/town centre, does require a bit of an uphill walk on the final leg. Another thing I was happy to see the back of, was all the covid restrictions. There was still an old notice from days gone by, but mostly things seemed to be back to normal. I certainly hope to visit the place again, if and when we next plan to stay over in Scarborough.
