The recent renovations, particularly in the bathrooms, suggest a commitment to modern comfort, while the on-site Castle Restaurant aims to deliver quality Yorkshire dishes.

Fantastic Cliff Top Hotel
large roomrenovated bathroomlimited parking
the hotel room was large and recently renovated in spring 2024. it featured two comfortable armchairs facing a lovely sea view. the bathroom included a huge walk-in shower done to a lovely standard.
during my stay, i noticed the parking was limited and operated on a first-come, first-served basis. this could be challenging arriving later in the day. it would be helpful to have more parking options.
