One customer wrote: "The excellent location, great room facilities, free parking, amazing breakfast, cleanliness of the room etc. etc. are all great but nothing compared to how welcome you are made to feel. Will definitely be visiting again soon."

Another added: "Angela and James are the perfect hosts, nothing is too much trouble and the attention to detail is perfect. Our room was spotlessly clean, but still felt homely rather than clinical.

"The breakfasts are amazing, beautifully cooked, presented and served. We also loved hearing “the singing chef” every morning."

Scarborough is popular among tourists and famed for being Britain's original seaside resort.
