    Nothing worth mentioning

    Everything was good,. I had an expectation ( probably unreal ) that a full Eglish breakfast included Black pudding and mushrooms . The provision of cotton wool box in bedroom was nice to have but not necessary . More milk for 2 days would have been appreciated as effectively limited the amount of Tea /coffee to one cup . Replenishing the contaminants daily would added enjoyment to our stay or to be told where we could obtain more milk would have been helpful. To be offered top up of orange juice would have been well received at breakfast time. Final comment which would be difficult to diplomatically encourage would be to put an note about TV use to say - Please be considerate to other quests and turn the volume lower after 11 pm OR remember to switch off the TV before you fall asleep as to do otherwise prevents others from sleeping as well as your own good self. Beyond that all was good and will return

    I'm all for staycations, so I'd recommend Rose Dene and visiting Scarborough.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    I stayed for 4 nights. I wish I had had more time to stay for more days. It's worth a longer stay to take adavantage of seeing further afield, like the countryside for horse riding, hiking or visiting local farms open to visitors.

    Rose Dene is in an ideal location. From the station, it's not far to walk to or difficult to find. I received a very warm welcome! I particularly liked the option to remain in touch using a very straightforward messaging service throughout my journey as my train was delayed which could have meant arriving after check-in time. I also liked how the room I stayed in was for an individual person. It was a small, single occupancy and very cosy with everything you'd need in it. I slept like a log! I 'd recommed the full English. If you try this, please make note of how delicious the sausages are as they're from a local supplier! In addition, I was pleasantly surprised by the local transport. It was very reliable. You can plan to leave your car behind (reduce your carbon footprint) and go as far as Whitby on the bus which takes a route with the loveliest scenery. You just have to plan your return journey so you don't miss the last bus getting back.

    The property was fine and staff very nice and welcoming breakfast was good just need to be on top of the cleaning as quite a lot of cobwebs and windows were very mucky

    Was in good situation for what we was supposed to be there for to see lewis capaldi at open air theatre but unfortunately we never got to see him as he pulled out day before
