I stayed to walk the CTC across the UK. It was right next to the train station, so I could see the train passing by from the window, which was very romantic. Although the sound of the train passing by is a little loud. The room was so comfortable!

I'd read the Tripadvisor reviews before we went and they're pretty accurate. The building is very run down but could be stunning in the right hands. The room was spacious but dated. The ensuite looked as though it was from the 80s but was useable although there was quite a lot of dust on skirting boards, lamps, etc and a cork from a bottle left on the bedroom floor. We stayed for two nights. On the first evening, the food was excellent. On day two, the breakfast was disappointing as the hash brown was soggy and the toast hadn't been toasted long enough to give it any colour. On the second evening, our dinner was disappointing, but breakfast on the second morning was excellent with crispy hash browns and properly cooked toast. I can only assume they have two chefs, one of whom is very frugal with the gas/electricity. On the first evening, we were served mainly by Alana. She was excellent. Once she'd served us drinks she regularly checked whether we wanted another and remembered what we were drinking. She was polite and attentive with all the guests as was her colleague. Unfortunately, she and that colleague were not working on our second evening when there were long waits at the bar when the staff on duty were sitting on a settee in the reception area, oblivious to the growing queue of impatient guests. I had to request a steak knife when my steak arrived which seemed to surprise the person serving and I heard the guest at the next table asking the same server for a steak knife for her steak about ten minutes after my request. The sandwiches on arrival were a piece of meat on bread - no salad. The soup was tasty and warm, but not hot. However, on the day we requested a packed lunch, we were offered salad in the sandwiches which was appreciated. The packed lunches on day two comprised a bag of crisps, sandwiches and a pack of two biscuits. A drink would have been appreciated. Would I go again? Yes. We went on an all inclusive deal. It was certainly value for money and verged on entertaining at times.

Rang ahead on Saturday afternoon & were greeted by a lovely lady on the phone who arranged for us to park overnight in our campervan after our evening meal. Food was so nice,I had a burger & home cooked chips & my better half indulged in the carbonara,I may have even pinched some of hers 😊 Definitely recommend this little gem of a spot to anyone visiting the area,even having breakfast here before we head back home. Our 1st night kid free for what seems like forever & we certainly picked the perfect place Thanks to all the super friendly,helpfulstaff & of course the chef 😊

We stayed here for one night before setting off on our 15 day Coast to Coast Hike to Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire. The building externally & internally isn’t the most attractive of hotels; a bit dated and uninspiring. However the hotel was clean, the room was pleasant with a sea view and the bathroom was also clean and adequate for our one night stay. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food isn’t going to win any prizes, but was wholesome and of good quality-my only complaint was the size of the portions- massive! Too much to be honest, and a lot of food seemed to be heading back to the kitchen. The two tables either side of us, and ourselves included said the food was nice, but the portions overwhelming and sadly we couldn’t finish the main courses. For the purpose of our one night stay, Seacote was ok, but I wouldn’t return for a ‘treat’ or longer stay.

Tricky to review this place as you get what you pay for, and it was 'ok' but given the reviews on here I was expecting a lot better. Personally I wouldn't stay again but have gone with 3/5 to try to be fair. The rooms are above a noisy pub and when I stayed looked like they were having roof problems as there was tarpaulin and buckets all over the roof outside the window. Thr room itself was spacious but a real paradox - in some ways very nicely decorated and maintained but in others pretty tatty/poorly thought through. For example, one bed was across the front of the wardrobe making it unuseable. The kettle had no socket anywhere near it to enable it to be used, and one of the lamps appeared to be shorting out, flashing on and off. The bathroom was similarly odd, with decent quality material but a tap that refused to get warm and a shower tray that moved when standing on it, feeling like it was about to give way. There was also various noises (fans running?) periodically throughout the night that were enough to keep waking me, and give some pretty poor nights sleep. Although the bed was advertised as Super King, it was actually 2 singles pushed together, which is a pet hate as it it both uncomfrotable and significantly shorter than a King/Super King. No toiletries were provided in the room despite being included in the listing and was told they had none when asking about this. I stayed two nights and there was no servicing of the room either.

While on a three week UK vacation I was booked here for three nights to celebrate my birthday and what a gift it was! Although undergoing a renovation, the manor was awesome! I was fortunate to have a room at the end of the hall, overlooking the courtyard, a field of sheep and a view of the sea! It was serene and peaceful. The entire staff, especially Barry, were so welcoming, attentive and friendly! I rarely rate 5 star and Hunday Manor deserves it.
