Downcliffe House

I found this hotel to be rather difficult to categorise due to the very quirky decor. It's a place that you will either love or hate. Personally, I love it, but many will be put off by some of the artwork. Plus points are the brilliant front of house staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. Food is superb, although a little overpriced. Negative points, for the price, the owners should be available, and introduce themselves to their guests. We stayed in room 4, and first impressions were of a well maintained room. On a closer examination, the carpet, being a light colour was extremely dirty with inground filth. An investment in a good quality carpet shampoo cleaner would be worthwhile. Overall, would recommend, but £120.00 would be a more realistic charge for a nights bed and breakfast.

Called in for lunch with family. The hotel is perfectly positioned just across from the sea, beautiful scenery to sit for a meal. We all had the Steak and ale pie which was excellent and I would have again. Recently refurbished to a very high standard. If you are in Filey call in you will not be disappointed.

Couldn’t have asked for anything better for 2 night relaxing getaway. Easy check in, beautifully furnished and finished room. Very comfortable large bed, slept so well especially after a long walk along the beach and a trip up to Whitby Abbey. Made dinner reservations for both nights when we booked, glad we did as justifiably the restaurant was full both nights. Dinner was extremely good, we were very impressed having Beef Wellington, steak and chips, amazing fish and chips and baked salmon during our stay with a great selection of good quality wines. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated, quite quirky but tasteful and spotless throughout. Can’t fault our stay at all and the hardworking always helpful staff are a real credit to themselves and the owner. We’ll definitely be returning.

This hotel is in a great setting, as close to the sea as you would want to be. Decorated and furnished in a quirky fashion, in places a little Tim Burtonesque gothic. Still preserves enough of the original character to appreciate. It's a magnificent old house although facilities are modern and comfortable. Advise booking a restaurant table early as it's clearly very popular. Breakfast was good, especially with a sea view, outside terrace was great for a drink. Staff were friendly and helpful, but kept very busy. Booked for 2022 already.

Booked dinner this evening Monday 31st May following a recommendation from a stranger. It was a very good recommendation indeed. It is STUNNING here. The attention to detail of absolutely everything is fantastic. Such a great ambience. Classy and relaxed. Great attentive staff. The food is worth every penny you pay, it's so good. Such a fantastic varied menu. Amazing puddings. Even the toilets are a cut above with great smelling hand products which linger and stay in your memory just like this decadent hotel/restaurant. Only wish we lived here'
