Room size perfect with having the separate single bedroom/lounge area. Love the interior feel/decor
Bathroom shower a little unreliable re the temperature so showers were quick in and out 😂
Sehr nette Leute, sehr gutes Frühstück, große Auswahl . Innenstadt bzw Strandpromenade gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Parkplatz vor dem Haus!
The room was clean and comfortable, and it was lovely to see the nibbles and drinks selection provided. Breakfast cost an additional £10 per person per day, but was well worth it. You wouldn't get a better breakfast for twice that price. Off-road parking was also appreciated.
There was nothing at all not to like about our stay.
Lovely clean comfortable room.
Hard to find any problems with this property.. Would definitely recommend it.
The owner/staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was sublime, plenty of it and really hot and enjoyable. Clean and bright airy rooms. Brilliant stay and will be back.

It was perfect all round. Great location with on site parking. The hotel was exceptional with lovely extras ( milk and water , crisps, sweets etc) . Very clean hotel with lovely owners who you can tell dedicate themselves to great service. The breakfasts served are a must for any guest . Would always try and book this hotel when im in the area . Many thanks for a lovely weekend.
Everything was perfect
The location is excellent for access to the public transport,good shopping and walks into the centre of Scarborough and the South Bay. Public areas are very nicely presented with a seaside theme. The room was spacious and comfortable with plenty of natural light from the big window although you are not overlooked. I liked the open storage as you won’t leave anything behind and it also ties the decor together. Tea tray with biscuits was welcome and you can top up from supplies in the reception area including fresh milk and chilled water. The window blind blocked out the light really well. The bathroom had a very good and simple to use shower which is nice and spacious. Excellent double glazing kept seagull noise (inevitable by the sea) to a minimum.
Nothing. It worked perfectly for my needs in visiting local shops and spending an afternoon at the theatre. It’s in a quiet area so I had a very restful stay.
Very clean and well appointed room with every convenience thought off. Whole place is immaculate and very nicely done out. Parking spaces onsite too.
Nothing!
Great location with parking. Easy walking distance into Scarborough. Nice big bedroom, with the extra snacks on arrival being an added bonus! (Plus fresh milk!) Hosts were fab!
The mattress was quite uncomfortable (could feel the springs). Maybe a newer TV in the room might be a good upgrade 😄
Very easy to check in and efficient welcome from the host. Great on site parking given the quite bizarre 3 hr disc park thing in operation in most ? of the area
Nothing
Really lovely! Beautiful bed and furniture and all different and quirky. Really well done and having fresh milk and snacks in the room was a lovely extra touch. Not had a tunnocks tea cake for years! Great breakfast too. 😊
Camera molto spaziosa,bagno non grande ma c'era tutto.Posizione ottima, il centro ed il mare sono raggiungibili a piedi.Colazione super!Tantissima scelta e ho mangiato i migliori pancakes di sempre! Parking riservato nel cortile della casa.
Nulla
Lovely room with quirky touches. Nice to have fresh milk available in the reception area. Lovely breakfast with quality ingredients, excellent value for money.
An excellent Guest House with onsite parking. Very welcoming and friendly owners. Plenty of attention to detail in the room with fresh milk available etc etc which shines through in abundance from the owners who have given the customer experiencr much thought Very good breakfast at an excellent price ! I thoroughly reccomend this establishment and shall use it again should I return to Scarborough
Nothing
Really clean and cosy
Parking was a little difficult when other customers parked their cars over two spaces
A very well presented bed and breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful and of a good standard. Available parking on site. Friendly & helpful staff.
Lovely b&b thank you to Margaret and Steve. Modern style, exceptionally clean and has everything you need in the room. In reception you can pick up chilled little bottles of milk and water, extra teabags etc. Some little treats in the room and the breakfast was outstanding. About a 10 min walk to the seafront. Would not hesitate staying again or recommending to others.
Nothing
Attention to detail great breakfast and it smelt lovely as soon as you stepped into the building
Well presented property. Off road parking available on arrival was a bonus. Stayed in Scarborough room, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast had a variety of options, all delicious.
Beautiful place close to town centre and not far from seaside either.Very good price !
Can't really say much other than, excellent.
If being really picky the mattress couldn't have been a bit more comfortable ( but maybe preferences)
This was our second stay at Ashburton House and its excellent. The hosts do everything possible to make your stay a top quality experience at a very reasonable price. The breakfast which you can purchase as an extra is exceptional, top quality produce and possibly one of the best breakfasts I've had. Clean, well presented, parking, walkable distance to the centre, well thought out little extras all making the stay top notch. Thank you
Nothing
At breakfast a great choice and all quality food and drink
Amazing boutique hotel, decorated to high standards, quality furnishings and decor,cleanliness 10/10. Best breakfast we've eaten in long time and amazing value. Friendly hosts We highly recommend Ashburton
No complaints from us
Lovely B&B, great hosts.
Nothing
Steven and Margaret where good friendly hosts. Good information details . Lovely cooked breakfast also lovely pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup well presented. Good tea tray plenty tea coffee etc also could help yourself to more on table downstairs also fridge with small glass bottles of water and fresh milk in. Was comfortable for a single bed good bedding. Good shower. Nice to have fan in room.
The sink was really small awkward to fill kettle. Bedside table. could do with painting or replacing. Not fault of guesthouse but noisy seagulls. woke me up 4.30am one morning.
Excellent location very good for walking into Town or seafront. Owners very helpful Room very clean Great place.
Beautiful decor with seaside theme
Nothing
Owners lovely, great breakfast, clean , good price, couldn’t fault it . Definitely will return.
Everything from before we arrived to when we left was first class. Ringing to confirm arrival times, to make sure they were here to greet us. The room was beautifully decorated and spotless. Lovely touch with fridge in reception with cold water and milk. The breakfasts were delicious, especially the kippers.
Nothing, couldn't fault it.
Everything was excellent and nothing too much trouble the food was top quality and Margaret was an excellent host couldn’t find anything to complain about and will definitely visit again
Nothing excellent accommodation certainly will visit again
The property is beautiful, the room we stayed in was lovely . It was spotlessly clean and the decor was lovely. The whole property is decorated beautifully. It was a ten minute walk to the south shore and around 18 minutes to the town centre . A few doors up is a pub. We did see a bus that passes Ashburton house . I would definitely recommend a stay here 😍
There was nothing not to like .
Clean apart from a bit of dusting
Everything was perfect. The hosts go out of their way to look after you during your stay. We loved that the room had a little fridge and the family room was great for us so we could sleep in our own rooms (mum and daughter). Beds were very comfortable, good shower and bathroom looked fresh and modern. No lift but my mum is 79 and found the stairs were fine to get up and down. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, I have never tasted such a good full English. Everything cooked perfectly. Have attached a photo but it does normally have 2 bacon, black pudding and fried bread too. I asked for it without these. Thank you and hopefully we will visit again.
Nothing, it was fab
Ashburton House is beautiful! The room was perfect and had everything we needed - comfy bed, lovely shower room, tea and coffee (and Tunnock’s Teacakes, no less!) and a great tower fan that came in very useful in the warm nights. Breakfast was incredible - huge choice of continental items as well as cooked, with local, great quality produce always used - have the kippers - they had still been swimming literally moments before we ate them! Margaret and Steve are fabulous hosts - helpful, friendly and welcoming - they deserve massive credit for what they have created here - we will return!
Absolutely nothing - it’s all lovely!
Stayed here for the first time for 2 nights we were really impressed. The room was lovely clean and had everything you may need, including a mini fridge and snacks and drink making facilities. Our hosts we so friendly and called the night before to check our arrival time. We hadn't booked breakfast (oversight on our part) but so glad we decided to add it when we arrived, had a full English both mornings which set us up for the day. The walk to the prom is a gradual slope and it's only 10 minutes to the promenade. Bed was so comfy and Parking was no problem at all. Amazing stay would highly recommend.
Location
Room very tidy everything you needed was there nothing was a problem
Nothing to complain about
Friendly owners and very welcoming
It’s not a dislike really but the bathroom was very small but nice and clean
"Robin Hood" room layout excellent, suited our needs. Comfortable. Bathroom very spacious Good choice of breakfast. Had scrambled eggs and salmon, delicious. Hotel location great. Very friendly greeting by hosts. Plenty of parking of a small guest house.
Everything from our arrival greeting, the small touches of sweets, toiletries, biscuits, snacks, milk and water in the room. An amazing breakfast served by the owners, all freshly cooked, fresh cafetiere coffee, fruit, yogurt, cereals, pastries, toast, more coffee and the tastiest full cooked breakfast with excellent quality produce.

A really beautifully decorated B&b in the heart of Scarborough south shore. Steven and Margaret were the most wonderful hosts I have ever met! Nothing was too much trouble and even helped with directions and recommendations.
The whole place is lovely, all shabby chic seaside themed. Very clean and everything works.
Nothing really.
A lovely hotel, 10 mins from the seafront, wonderful decor, very friendly couple who run it, excellent breakfast, cannot fault it.
Our room was large, beautifully decorated and spotless
The whole experience was great. The room and all the facilities were of a very high quality and nothing has been overlooked. The breakfast was delicious and fantastic value. Hosts very friendly and attentive.

Very friendly owners, excellent facilities and great choice for breakfast
Everything was perfect
Lovely decor, comfy bed, close enough to walk to attractions but far enough away to be quiet. Lovely hosts. Gorgeous breakfast. Spot on. On site parking a bonus.
Nothing!
The Robin Hood's Bay room was spacious with fridge, milk, water, and excellent tea/coffee and snacks. The TV did not seem to be working, but we did not pursue this as we were out all the time. The showerroom was large, and the shower was hot but not great pressure. The staff were very friendly and helpful and there was a fantastic breakfast choice. Car parking was great, and the location was excellent.
Nothing
Lovely friendly hosts nothing to much trouble, spotless and very nice suite. Slept well, fantastic breakfast lots of choices. Really good location if we ever back to Scarborough will definitely stay again.
lovely place easy parking at property room comfy and bright breakfast excellent
rained saturday morning ..LOL
Very friendly and helpful.
Location a little noisy at times.
Myself and my husband just stayed here for the weekend and it was perfect. The premises is stunning, the location is perfect, our hosts were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. We will absolutely stay here again if we are back in Scarborough.
Room nicely decorated and very clean staff lovely breakfast fantastic
Nice and clean room. Stephen and Margaret lovely people and a gorgeous breakfast
Great accommodation in Scarborough, our b&b when we go. Attention to detail lovely touches in the room, fresh milk and cold water, cracking shower and first class breakfast. Also parking is no problem.Bravo Margaret and Steven 👏 see you next time the China crisis comes to town 😀 by
Nothing
The property was nicely decorated and comfortable. The owners made me feel welcomed. The breakfast was wonderful and tasty, quite filling. I like the fact that there was a mini fridge in the room and snacks were provided too. These little things make a difference. The room was clean and comfortable also roomy. I had traveled with my daughter and had booked the room that also had a separate room within. As we had not stayed in that part of Scarborough before Margaret recommended visiting the Italian gardens, which we did. Would definitely book again.
We liked everything about the property
The hosts were lovely. Great room, spacious and clean. Good location, not too far of a walk from the beach.
Nothing - everything was great.
Great interior design, lovely room with a comfortable bed . Great position for exploring Scarborough. Fabulous breakfast and friendly staff!
This place is perfect

I liked that we were on the ground floor the room was lovely and the bed was so comfortable and warm. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful the hosts were very nice and chatty I would definately book again if we could get the same room
Location with private onsite parking. A short walk to the sea front and town centre. Lovely, friendly owners. Fabulous room with amazing attention to detail. Impressive, well stocked hospitality tray with coffee pod machine. Fresh milk available in the ground floor fridge along with bottles of water. Spotlessly clean throughout. Exceptional breakfast with wide choice and a specials board. Definitely value for money for our stay. Recommended
Nothing.
The attention to detail
Very welcoming and clean
Wasn’t next to the sea
Warm greeting from Steven when we arrived. Our room was beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable. Nice selection of coffee, teas and snacks. Loved the wee bottles of fresh milk. Great location with pleasant stroll to south beach. Would definitely book again!
Very clean and comfortable excellent breakfast
Nothing
Close to beach, town, restaurants and pub. Clean, friendly owners Breakfast was superb
All good
We liked everything about Ashburton House, can’t fault anything, we felt valued and welcome in a beautiful house. Steven & Margaret were perfect hosts and do a great job. The breakfasts were really nice, the room was clean and comfortable with some nice extras like toiletries, snacks, tissues, sweets a coffee machine and a small fridge with milk and water provided. We appreciated having a parking space as well.
We liked everything, one small point … some other guests were noisy coming in one night quite late, so maybe a sign asking people to respect other guests and be a bit quieter in the reception area.
Very nice clean property inside and outside carpark aswell for off road parking
Spotlessly clean, really well maintained, lovely design pieces throughout the property.
Nothing whatsoever
Beautiful building a comfy room perfect for solo traveller's breakfast superb hosts Margaret and Stephen couldn't have been more accommodating
Very clean & modern room good location , breakfast superb lots of different choices
Didn’t dislike anything
Breakfast was absolutely fantastic!!! Set us up for the day. Run by a lovely couple, Steve and Margaret ,thank you from us both x
Mattress too soft for our liking, couldn't connect to wi- fi on top floor
Friendly owners. Comfortable bed. Good breakfast choices. Off road parking.
Stayed in front corner bedroom and noticed some road noise during the night. Nothing too loud, but as a light sleeper I did notice it.
Close to the town centre & beach.
Lovely staff, gorgeous decor, cute room touches , parking onsite
Nothing
Had a lovely 2 night stay here, this place is excellent, we’ve stayed here a few times now and it’s always the first place I look for accommodation when visiting Scarborough, very nice hosts, rooms are top notch and they also do a superb breakfast. We’ve always had a lovely time here and we will be definitely going back in the near future.
Nothing to dislike at all. Big 10 out of 10 for this place.
Very nicely presented and clean.
Nothing really.
The decor was much to our taste and felt very comfortable in the surroundings, the breakfast was excellent and plenty of it and as much tea and coffee/ toast , excellent choice every morning. The hotel is situated in an ideal spot as a nice walk will take you into Scarborough town and the seafront. Slept like a log every night in a lovely bed in cozy surroundings, definitely a great place to stay and relax.
Nothing
This is an individually styled boutique bed and breakfast with parking. A lovely home from home and not just an en-suite with bed, it’s plus points include a seating area, mini fridge and fresh decor. Ideally located on Valley Road, with a short walk to the sea front.
Breakfast was well worth the extra money.
The wi-fi on the top floor was poor.
I would go back just for the breakfast it was amazing
Nothing
Everything was excellent and would not hesitate in going back to Ashburton House. The breakfast was excellent with great service. The room was tastefully decorated with really good facilities eg fridge, kettle, coffee machine. One of the best places we have ever stopped at.
Nothing I didn't like.
Excellent location, clean very friendly owners.
Stunning place very clean .staff very welcoming lovey will definitely be back
Everything clean modern welcoming brilliant value for money love this place will be back
It was very clean and comfortable! The owners were very helpful and the service and breakfast was great!
Nothing!
Margaret was very warm and welcoming. The food was fantastic and choice was great. Tea and coffee facilities in the room to standard. Location ideal for a brief stroll onto the beach
The booking said that there was a wardrobe, however there was a few coat hangers on a foldable shelf and only 3 draws for clothes for 2 of us. We would have struggled if we had stayed a week. I appreciate it is hard to please everyone, the mattress was waybtonsoft and we sank into it. It didn't give much comfort for us, however would suit others maybe.
Location. Breakfast. Cleanliness of the room. Decor. Parking. This is our 2nd stay and would prioritise staying here next time.
Being picky, the Blue led on bedside lamps can't be turned off so it lights up the room at night.
We were greeted with a warm welcome, the accommodation was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The snacks in the room are a really nice touch, and breakfast is the best we have had when staying in a B&B.
Lovely place, comfortable and welcoming. Great stay again. Thank you
Front the minute we drove up to the property to the lovely warm welcome and then the lovely smelling lobby and homely feel, we were instantly made to feel welcomed and the decor was simply stunning and attention to detail was perfect! Our room was super clean cosy and the coffee machine and basket of snacks was a lovely very grateful touch! The led candles in the hall way and stair ways was very cosy and again attention to detail!
We travel all over Scotland and England attending my daughters competitive dancing and we stay at many of accommodations and I truly cannot fault one thing with this property we have had the most lovely stay and we can’t wait to book a family weekend away and again for next year already, thank you for having us at your beautiful guesthouse
Well decorated and cosy

The owners are so friendly and accommodating. I have stayed here a few times with family and I have never been disappointed with the rooms and they will always accommodate your requests if it is possible.
Absolutely nothing, everything is great.👍
Booked at last minute to escape the hum drum of a grim February. We had a perfect break away. The B&B was wonderful, the hosts were lovely and welcoming. Our room was warm and cosy and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was 5*, with a great selection and tasty local products 😋
Nothing at all, could not fault anything
Really cozy and clean room. Great location. Wonderful and warm welcome.
