Two night stay.

Our second visit to the Blacksmiths Arms. Stayed in room 11 which was one of the little cottages at the rear of the property. Very comfortable room with full length shower in the bathroom. The food was outstanding with a good breakfast selection and delicious evening meals. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a bus stop on the main road every half hour to Whitby (via Robin Hood’s bay) and Scarborough in the opposite direction so we were able to leave the car and travel by bus. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect location just outside Scarborough perfect for the outside concerts. Just 5-10mins drive. We had one of the outside little rooms at the back of pub with double bed and ensuite. 2 nights there and loved the pub the staff and food. Great location for Whitby, Robin Hood bay and Scarborough all in less than 30min drive.

Friendly Relaxing Hotel

Very nice friendly hotel, good breakfast each morning, also used the restaurant each evening, and excellent menu choices, reasonable priced, we really enjoyed all meals we had. Bedroom, room 4 at front of hotel, was clean bright, and clean, with plenty of drawers large wardrobe, with ensuite. Slight noise from main road but window had double glazing. Plenty free parking in car park at rear of hotel, we did not use our car for the three day stay, as bus stop right outside hotel in both directions for Scarborough 10min and Whity 20 min straight fair of £2 each way, so no parking costs which are expensive at £4.40 for two hours. Would definitely recommend staying here if on the area.
