    The listing on Booking.com was confusing, as was the confirmation email. This ‘ground floor’ room was on the first floor. The washing machine listed was at the coin op laundrette at the adjacent caravan park.

    The location a short bus ride from Robin Hoods Bay, with a bus stop outside was ideal. The Saturday evening live entertainment was a good laugh. Food was great.

    The breakfast is good. The dinner is good. The staff are very friendly. The room is comfy. There is a bus station right in front that will take you to the spots nearby. I loved my stay here and hopefully will return one day.

    The bed was two single mattresses pushed together and wasn't comfortable but they are having renovation work so hopefully they will be getting new mattresses.

    The staff and food faultless. Restaurant quality food.

    We had problems with the shower in room 1. The controls are very loose and a screw came out of the bottom making it very difficult to adjust the water temperature. We did report it and were told it would be looked at while we were out but that didn’t happen.

    The Flask Inn was lovely. The view from our room was lovely and we enjoyed the breakfast each morning.

    I accidentally left my hearing aid battery box in room when we left, they tell us they have found them so hoping they will send them on to me at their earliest convenience as I cannot hear a thing without them, I am willing to reimburse the postage.

    Breakfast was excellent, although we don’t tend to eat cooked meals for breakfast, but there was plenty to eat. The evening meals were good but maybe more of a choice would have been better The room was great big bed, plenty of room , plenty of storage

    The staff, food and accommodation were all fabulous! From the warm welcome to the check out the staff couldn’t do enough for us. My husband has several dietary requirements and allergies abs the chef even prepared special dishes for him to accommodate us. The room was immaculate and food was delicious and very large portions. The bud stops right outside the hotel and we hopped on and off the bus to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough. We brought our dog with us we were able to eat in the bar with her but not the restaurant but that’s fair enough. We will definetly be back.
