Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stopped for three nights for the wife's birthday 15-18 March 2024.We were allocated room 15 at the side of the premises overlooking the car park.Our room was warm,spotlessly clean and had all you would need for your stay.The bed was very comfortable,tea, coffee and milk...supplied,plenty of drawers and hangers for your clothes,a spacious en suite with a walk in shower too. After unpacking we gave the pub restaurant a try and wasn't disappointed,The food was hot,tasty and reasonably priced,and the beer was good too.After a good night's sleep we were back in the restaurant for breakfast.The full English was cooked to order,hot,tasty and plentiful,it set us up for our day exploring Scarborough which is only 10 minutes up the road. Sunday evening on St Patrick's Day we took part in the quiz and had a great laugh,the staff and locals were great fun to be around,and they sure know how to enjoy themselves.We wouldn't hesitate to reccomend the Mayfield in Seamer for anyone looking to explore the area but have a more rural base.There is a bus stop close by if you fancy leaving your car and the busses are quite regular too.There's a post office and shop across the road for your papers,magazines etc. The Mayfield is very reasonably priced for what you get and my wife and I will be returning in the future,we loved it there.More

We (and all other families dining in the family area) waited over an hour for food. We weren’t offered an apology for the delay and it appeared that some diners simply left without waiting for food. When the food did arrive it was not particularly...appetising.More

We (and every other family dining in the family area) waited over an hour for food when the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy. We weren’t offered an apology for the wait and when the food did arrive it was below average. Some families decided to leave...without waiting for food. All round bad experience.More

We stopped at this hotel for two nights and the staff were fine however, the room was small (room 5) and a odd shape. The floor of the room squeaked everytime you stood up and the heat from the kitchen below along with the kitchen...fans made the stay very unpleasent in the end.More

We planned a trip to flamingo land / Scarborough for our young girls (3 years and 11 month) at the weekend and browsed through places to stay. We picked the Mayfield for the suite as it has 2 bedrooms, a living area and kitchen, we...also opted for a travel cot to be provided as this was an option. We were quite surprised when we arrived at how different the apartment looks compared to the pictures advertised; it is beautiful! The 2 rooms are huge, both en suite with black out blinds, the living/ kitchenette area is very well furnished with literally everything we could possibly need. To mention the suite is directly above the bar area where there is live music on a Friday, this didn't affect nor wake either of the girls and the black out curtains meant they were none the wiser to the sinage lighting outside. Our girls wake at 5 and one is teething and the other fussy so I can't review the breakfast as we didn't opt for it. In summary we were really pleased and we will most likely be back!More

We have been coming here for many years when on holiday. The carvery is always good. However…. We did go on a Sunday at 6pm so it was very busy and just didn’t impress me. As I said, the carvery service was great but the...overall bar and customer service could have been be so much better. There is just a lack of attention to detail and effort at the till and it gives you the feeling of a franchise/multi chain establishment. It’s hard to rate overall as the carvery is good so you go back but the service does not match it sadly.More

Put into family room, absolute mayhem. Outside was heaving with people, music booming out. This is 17.00 hours on Sunday. Most clients obviously been there all day. Don't go for carvery if anyone is over 40 years old and wants a quiet meal. Terrible place.

I’ve been coming to this area now for over 15 years with business, we normally stay in Scarborough, but this week the hotel we normally use was fully booked so for 1 night thought I’d give the Mayfield a go. I thought the room, was...great, clean and a nice modern layout, the bed was very comfortable and the shower powerful enough, good selection of soaps, shower gels etc …. All staff friendly and accommodating. So far so good. Only a couple of issues I have revolve around food, first off breakfast is only served from 8;00 am 🤷🏻‍♂️ which is too late if I need to be in work at that time, 7:00 would be a lot better, so opted for no breakfast and a McDonald’s instead. Secondly the bar food was a bit bland for me, nothing wrong with it just not particularly “exciting” I think if/when I stay again I would venture to the Copper Horse. The bar are itself was friendly enough with good selection of beers/wines/spirits/etc ….More

Have been here a couple of times in the past but it's definitely gone downhill. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Got two kids meals. They had increased in price since my last visit. The portions and quality were not very good. The tomato pasta...was inedible. Not much option for small adult meals. The same woman often goes to the play area with her two boys and doesn't supervise them. They were climbing up the small slide, climbing ontop of the play area and swearing. My niece left crying.More

The food was very poor. Pies were factory bought, chips cooked in old oil. Table next to us complained too. We asked for two servings of one pie, there was only one left at 12.30pm. We had another instead. You could see the foil marks...where it had been removed from the casing, but they swore it was home made. Meat content was poor and no ale gravy in the steak and ale. Cheese and broccoli pie had only one piece of broccoli in it. Again, not home made. Burgers were relatively ok. No coffee except instant, as apparently there were no coffee beans. Asked for cheescake from the menu and there was no cheesecake at all. Asked for ice cream for an adult and was given 1 scoop in a child’s cardboard tub. Will not return ever againMore
