Great pub in a quaint village within Scarborough near to all North Bay attractions. The rooms are all different, fitted out and decorated to a high quality standard. The pub area has a great atmosphere along with the dining areas. Food is of a very high quality and great portion sizes

Nice rooms with high quality furnishings and comfortable bed. My evening meal was superb. Good position for driving into Scarborough or onto the North Yorkshire Moors. I would have liked a shaving mirror and milk for the drinks in the room.

We would recommend this property to anyone. The rooms are finished to a very high standard, The food quality is excellent and the staff are very friendly. There was some confusion on other people’s food orders but they handled it promptly at dinner time. It is worth noting that breakfast has to be preordered by 9pm for the next day which we felt should be reviewed as we forgot and it meant we couldn’t have breakfast in the morning and the menu wasn’t any different to a normal breakfast menu. Don’t let this put you off the plough it’s a great place and we will return

Lovely room. Check food serving times though!

The room was absolutely lovely. Comfortable bed, lovely shower and toiletries, dressing gown available. They have drinks and snacks in the room for you to purchase if you wish. It really is a lovely spot. There isn't a car park but parking in the village was adequate, especially after the pub had cleared out. The only negative we had was that we had planned to have dinner in the pub, and information in the room indicated food was available until 8pm. However, staff told us when we went down at about 6.30pm that the kitchen shut at 6pm, so we had to head out again to get some dinner. We didn't have breakfast the next day so I can't comment on how the food is.
