    9MathewPosted on: 4-21-2025

    A friendly welcoming pub with a good variety of food cooked to a very good standard. Good location only a short drive to Scarborough and in the other direction Hayburn Wyke well worth a visit to see the waterfall.

    No complaints

    This a typical local country pub like they used to be open all day very friendly and good choice of beers, food was exceptional and dining area good plenty of parking

    The only dislike was the shower in our room 6 , the flow was inadequate for a decent shower but it did the job

    Third time staying here, best asset is the excellent staff. Quite dated property but very clean and good food. Room five had a barely functioning shower which was a little inconvenient. Staff are helpful, friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble for them. Liked the new outside seating area and having stayed previously in the newer accommodation block I would recommend staying in those rooms. We will certainly return as location is great for coastal resorts.

    Really enjoyed our stay in this welcoming inn. The bed was really comfortable in our clean and spacious room. We had a delicious dinner as well as breakfast. Within easy reach of Scarborough, Whitby, and the moors.

    Love the feel of the place, old world charm but keeps modernising.

    Shower in room 6 was very weak, water hot but no power.

    9GuardianPosted on: 3-4-2025

    Lovely room. Very comfortable and spacious. Staff welcoming. Great breakfast

    Nice food, although the restaurant was bit quiet and awkward to eat in, we could hear the next couple chat maybe a little louder music would help. Drinks felt a little on the expensive side

    10JackiePosted on: 2-21-2025

    Excellent location for walking the coastal path to Robin Hood's Bay. Outstanding breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Gorgeous, old building with a rich history. Tastefully decorated bedroom with a comfortable 4 poster bed..Well done, Blacksmiths Arms team!
