My husband booked this B&B for our 1st Wedding Anniversary and his Birthday (both the same day) We had a leisurely drive over on the Friday and arrived slightly sooner than expected. But that was fine after a quick text to Simon to say we’d arrived early. Parking was across the road and permit only, this was all sorted through the hotel. £1 a day to park, bargain! We checked into our room and was given a bigger room on the top floor (Room12) The room was beautifully decorated and clean, lovely bed, a sofa and chair, kettle and tasimo and plenty of tea and coffee supplies. Simon explained how the breakfast ordering worked, gave us a breakfast menu to tick off what we wanted, and if we didn’t want anything different on the following mornings we would get the same order again each day. The shower was stocked with shower gel, towels and plenty of toilet rolls, plus complimentary facial/make up removal wipes too (I always take a packet with me wherever I stay, but loved that little touch) Saturday morning was our first breakfast, we had opted for the full Yorkshire. The breakfast room was amazing, again beautifully decorated and plenty of choice given. Umpteen different teas, Wholemeal and white bread for toast, jams, marmalades, fruits, yoghurts, cereals, fresh orange and apple juice, you name it! All self service apart from the freshly cooked breakfast that was served once you’d had something from the self selected foods. Breakfast was piping hot, eggs cooked to perfection, sausage and bacon cooked just right. Couldn’t fault it. We then headed upto Whitby for the day some 17 miles away, had a great day out. Weather was brilliant and we slept like babies in the comfy bed. Today (Sunday 6th October) I opted for one of the specials from the breakfast list, this was Scrambled Egg and Chorizo served on a toasted english muffin, served beautifully by Siobhan. It was sooo tasty, glad I’d decided to try something different. Check out was 10.30am but we left shortly after 9.15am due to a 3 hour drive back. On departure we handed our keys back to Simon and thanked him for a fabulous stay. Now my only recommendation, and this hasn’t knocked off any STARS 🌟 was that our room had no vanity mirror on the dressing tablet. It had a beauty huge mirror over the bed, and of course in the bathroom. But with someone with long hair who likes to wand it every other day, my cord/wire didn’t stretch far enough in the bathroom to use that mirror. But I managed to do it blindly which was good. I did suggest a vanity mirror that could be stored out of sight and placed in a drawer out of the way when not being used. But that was my only recommendation as I couldn’t fault our stay otherwise. Thank you Simon and Siobhan, we loved our stay and will definitely come again and stay in your fabulous B&B
