Night away

Just a one night away trip with a couple of days coastal walking. Very smart pub with rooms. In a superior room with high quality fixtures and fittings, very comfortable. Staff all very friendly with an excellent dinner menu and very good breakfast. Only minor issue was how quick dinner service was - would have preferred to have spent longer over our meal. Starter arrived very quickly and the main arrived before we had even finished our starter ! As I say however a minor issue in the overall scheme of things and we would certainly visit again

Loved the property. It was beautifully decorated, and had everything you could possibly need. We have stayed with five star stays before, so this wasn’t the first time and won’t be the last. However the first staff member I spoke to on arrival at the Plough to collect the keys was nothing other than miserable!! Granted we did arrive 30 minutes early, but he was so dismissive of us. I don’t know whether I disturbed his precious time but he was most unpleasant. Took the shine off the stay. He avoided me when I did go back at the correct time, clearly unhappy in life and working in the incorrect industry of customer service.

Really enjoyed

Really fabulous location, great room with lovely touches, great shower, tv, wifi and lovely bar and meal. Breakfast was good for me but a little stingy for my daughter who didnt like everything on the menu but they could have spared an extra sausage! Pastries not covered over was an issue but these are small points. Overall very impressed and would love to go back as 10 mins from Scarborough.

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.

5 night family stay

The first thing to mention is that this property is on 3 floors. There are 30 very steep, very narrow, stairs between the ground floor and the top bedroom. Although it does indeed sleep 6 people, having 3 double beds, the bed in the attic room is half under the eaves of the roof and you must bend double to get in and risk knocking yourself out to get there. None of the upstairs windows open. We tried every window on the upper 2 floors and were unable to budge one. The larger of the 2 bedrooms on the second floor is directly joined onto the house next door which we believe is someone’s permanent residence - it has the worst soundproofing of any property we have stayed in and we were woken up every day around 6am. This is not the fault of the neighbours going about their daily lives, it’s that the walls are genuinely that thin. The on street parking is terrible and a scramble for parking spaces that don’t mean you have to climb a bank of mud to get out of your car. The house itself, although getting a little tired in places, was very clean and touches like the under floor heating were great. Tea and coffee were provided (a total of 6 teabags and 6 coffee pods for 4 people for a 6 day stay) and the welcome pack was a nice touch even if it was missing a couple of items. The pub is incredibly busy on a Friday and Saturday - we couldn’t even get in the bar for a drink on Saturday but I know they take bookings for food so if you were wanting to eat there we would advise you to book.
