Blacksmiths Arms Inn

Lovely staff, very helpful and friendly. Very clean in all areas, well decorated and maintained. Nice and warm on a very cold NYE! The room was excellent; spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Loads of storage and a very comfy bed. We ate breakfast and dinner there for two days. Breakfast was served at the table and was the best we've had (in any hotel) in a long time! There was plenty of choice for dinner and the food was freshly cooked and excellent.

We had two breakfasts and an evening meal during our stay. The restaurant was a little bit "too cosy" for our liking and if it was possible for the property to utilise their other dining / bar areas that would improve things. Having said that the quality and presentation of the food was very good. We had a quiet room at the back of the hotel, the four poster bed was very comfortable but I don't think a 13.5 TOG quilt is needed, even in the cold weather during our stay.

The welcome was really friendly with a lovely british style bar on entrance. The guys working their were really helpful in providing directions to Scarborough and how to get there and back by taxi.

This was a real find. The room was spacious with plenty of storage. The Staff are friendly, professional and all round excellent. Food is outstanding. Breakfast and evening meal were both bang on. Ate twice in the evening on our stay and 4 different dishes. All spot on. Bar was friendly with a good mix of visitors and locals and the Beer / Gin excellent. 10 out of 10 all round.

Great first impressions, friendly welcome by the host and helpful friendly staff. Lovely large, immaculately clean ensuite room with comfortable bed. Excellent quality evening meal with great choice and equally excellent breakfast. Could not fault anything about this lovely traditional Inn that has so much character including a lounge with open fire. Would much rather stay here than in a chain hotel, cannot wait to return.
