The staff were very friendly, As a vegetarian, I was pleased with the cooked vegetarian breakfast. The room was very nice. I am disabled, but was able to get around the hotel with ease. My one real gripe is that the hotel was advertised as "Robin Hoods Bay" when that town is five miles from the Flask. On the plus side, the Flask is central for all sorts of places: Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay. I appreciated how quiet the Flask was and would consider visiting there again.

Tony United Kingdom

Everything was great, the food, and accommodation was excellent.

Anonymous United Kingdom

The property has a pleasant atmosphere and the owners are very helpful.

Allan United Kingdom

Perfect location for me and my daughters, as we were meeting family who live very close by. Could be considered a little remote to some. Situated between Scarborough and Whitby, and close to Robin Hoods Bay. Personally, I think a car is essential but a bus stop is very nearby. Easy check in, rooms big enough to spend a couple of days. En-suite spacious, lovely view from the room (6) Breakfast very nice and plenty enough for us. Plenty of choice. Only met one member of staff, ? Owner and very friendly. Room clean too, Covid rules adhered to. Would stay again if I needed to.

Janette United Kingdom

Breakfast was excellent. The evening menu was very good, best Kabab in many a year. The room was very good and apart from the "small shower, no complaints.

Ian United Kingdom

Great place to stay with easy access to local attractions, breakfast was really good, and plenty of choice

Anne United Kingdom
