"We stopped for two nights. We ate in the pub on both nights. We had a fantastic stay, this is a great, cosy, traditional pub in the beauty of Yorkshire. The room had everything you need, it wasn't the most modern room but no complaints. I like the little touches like a full-sized mug and the Decaff coffee bags. The first night the heating was on a little too much, it's on a thermostat and was a little warm but it wasn't too bad, as it was so cold outside. Some fellow guests we met one evening said their bed was rock hard, but, we had no complaints, my wife said it was a little lumpy on her side but I really didn't have any issues. The pub has plenty of parking around the back; where you can see they have some Glamping Pods. It is currently undergoing renovations in the room between the main bar and the dining area, which, had recently been painted and looked very nice. Allround, the pub was in a great location to be far enough out of Whitby but close enough, it only took 25mins to drive in. There is nothing around the pub, we walked to Danby the first evening but that hasn't not much in it either. However, it is perfect for walkers and those with dogs, we use it just as a base so we didn't mind and it was nice to be out in the countryside. We ate twice, both nights. Friday was busier in the pub, we did book but no need, as they had plenty of tables. We sat in the background for dinner and breakfast on both days. On the first night, I ordered off the specials board; to start I had the Bacon and Spring Onion Quiche which was lovely and for mains the venison casserole. My wife ordered the hummus bruschetta and steak and ale pie. On the second night, we just got main, both of us ordered off the specials board again, my wife got the sun-blushed tomato and brie past and I got a fantastic chicken rogan josh curry, served with a homemade popadom, naan and mango chutney, can't fault it. We really, really enjoyed the food."

"First of all, the ambiance is incredible. The restaurant looks stunning, reminiscent of a cozy Christmas lodge, like something you'd see at the North Pole, yet it has so much more. The unique aesthetic and the outstanding Christmas decorations left me in awe. I was overwhelmed with how beautiful everything was, and it truly put me in the Christmas spirit. The staff were amazing—friendly, kind, and always smiling. I felt so welcomed and comfortable there; it was a safe and peaceful place, especially comforting for someone like me who has autism and anxiety. Just a week ago, I visited knowing I would be alone for Christmas and not planning to cook my own Christmas dinner, which is something I'm not very good at. I decided to treat myself with their Christmas menu, and it was absolutely delicious. From the moment I walked in and sat down, the staff made me feel right at home. The music playing added to the festive vibe, and the warm decorations around me made it feel just like a Christmas lodge. The lovely staff took my order, and I was excited for what was to come. For the starter, I had fresh meat that you could tell was sourced from a proper butcher. The sausage and bacon were delicious, especially the generous pigs in blankets. Then came the main course—a burger that was simply wow! I was so full after that meal, and it tastes heavenly. The food was comforting, delicious, and home-cooked to perfection. I enjoyed every bite and managed to finish it all. For dessert, I would have loved a scoop of ice cream alongside my sweet treat, rather than having to buy it separately, but that’s a minor detail. Overall, I’ve never felt so satisfied after a meal. This was hands down the best Christmas menu I’ve ever had at a restaurant, and it's now my favorite place in Scarborough. You all did an incredible job this year! The customer service, decorations, and the Christmas menu were all exceptional. Hats off to you! I was so engrossed in enjoying the moment that I didn’t even think to take a photo to share. Sometimes, it's nice just to enjoy the experience without the distraction of snapping pictures. Lastly, I want to mention the price—it was an amazing value for three courses, well worth it. Thank you so much for everything, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
