Chraming cosy pub in Ellington Village in Northumberland. Near to cresswell beach & druridge bay,…read moreyou can easily stop off here if you are on your way up the coast to amble, or coming back down from that way. Very easy to find and such a nice place. Lovely friendly atmosphere, we got a warm welcome when we arrived. They do a good range of food served Mon-Sat 12pm -8pm and Sunday Lunch 12pm - 3pm. I have not tried a Sunday lunch yet but have been midweek when the food was lovely, generous portions! I thought the cost of the main meals were very good and were what I expect from a local pub. Talking to the lady behind the bar she informed us that they have just added some B&B accommodation, this will come in handy for relatives visiting us from Yorkshire, a bit different from the usual premier inn. The pub itself has a very nice lounge, very relaxing with fireplace. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant and this has a warm atmosphere. There is a separate bar area which also has a nice feel to it. I will come back here again, and although I do not live in Ellington, i wish this was my local! Plenty of parking outside the pub. Fantastic pub grub with a good atmosphere and pleasant surroundings, I'll be back!

One of the group cheekily added her request to the already comprehensive menu,........ and got it, Katrina actually going out to obtain her request. Stunning!! Can't speak too highly of the food, some fussy eaters were really blown away by the quality of the food. The Inn itself, is lovely and comfortable, with great atmosphere. Thanks for making the meal special x

The Waves has become my new measure of all B&Bs. "Well, it's okay ... but it's not The Waves ... "…read more Run by writer and juke box enthusiast Kevern Stafford and his wife Ruth, The Waves is up on the cliffs above the south end of Scarborough - one of the nicest areas of town, from what we saw. It's a beautiful house, stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean, and really just a lovely place to be. There's a funky guest sitting room with a juke box and a record player, breakfast is served on locally handmade furniture and pottery ... and wait till you see the breakfast menu. There's about a dozen choices, ranging from a full fry up made with local, quality produce to vegan kedgeree. Or maybe you fancy kippers, or a superfoods smoothie ... or soft boiled eggs with marmite soldiers? And then there's the wifi, and the helpful information on good pubs and restaurants, and just Kevern's overall effort to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as he can. All this for a reasonable price - our room was only £64. Really, I'd move in if I could. Go there!

I have family in Redcar and try to get up there at least once a year for the Horse Racing which is…read morea real fun day out! (Although you can never guarantee the weather in the north of England!) My Dad now has a one bedroomed house and so me, my sister and our partners had to book a hotel. We stayed in the All Welcome In which is walking distance from the race track and offered Luxury En Suite rooms. Our room was a twin room with extremely dated bedding and decoration. It looked and smelt like the room had not been lived in for several years and as for the en suite?? A cupboard with a toilet and shower cubicle would have been a better description! And the door fell off after we tried to open it the second time. All in all two nights cost £71 for the two of us on a bed and breakfast basis. We did not dare to eat the breakfast but another guest made a complaint due to the bread being frozen, only to be told that they put it out frozen so it stays fresher for longer!! If we had not paid £40 deposit on the rooms and there was another hotel available (they all get booked up very quickly on a race weekend) then we would have definitely stayed else where. I cannot stress enough how awful the hotel was and would suggest that if anyone stays in Redcar, stay well away from the All Welcome In!

I stayed here recently with 3 friends and at £12 per person, per night including breakfast, this…read morewas great value. For £12 I wasn't expecting much but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I have stayed in much worse places where I have been charged around £70 per night. The twin rooms were quite large and included a w/c with shower. The decor was a little outdated but for the price we were well satsified. The rooms were clean and clean towels were provided. The breakfast was a full English with plenty of tea refills and toast. The landlady was very friendly and extremely helpful and gave us some good local information and directions. If you are looking for 'Jack & Vera Duckworth' type B&B accommodation and you are on a budget, then I can highly recommend this place. If you want something more upmarket, then try elsewhere and be prepared to pay much more than £12 a night.

Not the ordinary B&B, Athol House easily competes with their contemporaries and larger hotelier…read moreestablishments in the local area. The proprietors supply a professional and warm welcome and are always at hand for any of your needs even if it is just a friendly chat. Athol House has five generously spaced rooms (one larger family room) and decorated to an elegantly high standard with plenty of storage and hangers. The standard facilities of TV and tea & coffee facility's avail themselves as well as a heated towel rail, travel cot, high chair and ironing equipment at request. I also found a BT OpenZone WiFi hub and 3G connectivity for the more online traveller. Breakfast is an area for a B&B to win or lose repeat clientele but there is very little chance of you coming away anything less than impressed and contented. Various cereals and fresh fruits avail themselves whilst you await your cooked meal. The plates served are always picture perfect and you can tell that the cook has an eye for perfection. Not to miss, the scrambled eggs are a cut above. Athol House can hold its head up high, I've had worse nights staying in four star business hotel chains and certainly worse breakfasts.

Plenty of breakfast choices, served in a lounge decorated in blue and white. Very willing to accommodate your needs, and attentive.

This charming B&B was our home away from home for three nights in York. We adored everything about…read moreit. I'd requested a window view room, and our second story view looked down on the River Ouse. The Guest House's location in town is great, being a five minute walk from the York Train Station via the new pedestrian bridge and within easy walking of everything else in town. The nearby Abbey's gorgeous gardens provided an especially pleasant shortcut into town, rain or shine. Then there were the accommodations. After staying in a cramped London hotel, we felt as if we could breathe! The bed was spacious, and the room and toilet facilities were great. I think the only criticism I can offer at all is that the shower drain was slow. The human element was wonderful, too. The owners of the Guest House were actually away, leaving us in the care of a professional B&B sitter. She was a kind, attentive hostess, happy to help us with anything we needed. We were greeted upon arrival with Yorkshire tea and warmed brownies! Our breakfasts were wonderful, too. She worked with our schedule so that we could eat there before doing a day tour and before our train departed. The default breakfast is a Full English, which we didn't do. My husband was happy with just the meat portion of the breakfast (those Yorkshire sausages...! don't expect teeny tiny American-style breakfast sausages) while I tried both of the lighter options, salmon with scrambled eggs and then Eggs Benedict. All accompanied by Yorkshire tea, of course, along with fresh toast. The breakfast bar included yogurt, a really good muesli, fresh fruit, and three excellent local jams and marmalades. We felt well-fortified for the day's adventures. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
