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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

A small group of family and friends had a 2 night stay at Cober Hill. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we have booked for next year. A few little things to point out: Matthew (in the dining room) was fantastic, so helpful and friendly, the television in our lounge was TINY, it was like watching a postage stamp, also a television in my room would have been greatly appreciated, the food was delicious.

Wonderful family weekend at Cober Hill. Rooms were good, staff were excellent and the food plentiful. Good weather for October was a bonus but still plenty to do indoors if any showers materialized. Looking forward to our next visit.

We came for an afternoon tea, and left absolutely stuffed!! The food was amazing and the staff are all friendly and helpful, but not 'in your face'. It is such a nice relaxing place to visit, and the grounds are stunning. A walk around the gardens is a must after you have dined here, and the views across into the North Sea are fabulous. Well worth a visit and not a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Scarborough.

An ideal venue for groups or large families, as they have so much accommodation including plenty of single rooms, all en-suite. Whilst fairly basic, the rooms and bathrooms are comfortable, clean, and the towels and bedding is good quality. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Dietary needs were well catered for. We found the food generally good. The only niggle for some of us was poor curtains: blinds and / or linings would make such a difference to sleep quality. This was our second visit as a walking group - we plan to return.

At last back at Cober Hill .As a line dance group we've been coming here for a weekend every June for years .Obviously covid and other reasons stopped us till this year.We were welcomed by the Manager who greeted our organiser as Hello you must be the famous Christine he was so welcoming. We had access to the lounge kitchen and Hall in the big modern Annexe We all waited to get our keys in the lounge and this really friendly lady called Sue came in to see us.She was great so funny a credit to the hotel.Rooms spotless lovely towels lots of hot water.We were there fll board.I didn't really enjoy the first evening meal wasn't to my taste and the soup was just warm.The breakfast buffet very good with continental porridge yoghurts fruit cereals and full English .The sat lunch you could ask for a packed lunch or baked pots woth lots of fillings and salad. Dinner was really nice Sunday lunch roast Beef and veg Yorkshire pudding. Desserts well presented.The staff all excellent All kept very busy but smiled and were friendly. The gardens are so peaceful and the views are great. We will be back next year THANK YOU .Alice Dunn room 61 .

Hi Alice Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us. I am so glad you felt welcome; I was our honour to host you again. Did you manage to get a room with a sea view in the Joseph Rowntree Centre? I'm sorry the soup wasn't as hot as you were hoping on Friday but it looks like the rest of the meals were a triumph for you. I am really looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Don't forget, if you want to pop back for a night or two B&B before your next group visit, we'd love to host you. David

Cober Hill is a beautiful venue that has beautiful gardens and overlooks the sea. I facilitated a Retreat weekend 5-7 May 2023 with ten women. The staff at Cober Hill are outstanding from David-as Guest Manager to reception staff, Emma and Tracey, to overnight manager, Linda,business manager and our wait staff..Matthew , Sue,and another individual. The kitchen staff Carolyn breakfast chef and the other chefs were amazing! Our group had several dietary needs and they were all accommodated for. The rooms were lovely the food so so so delicious!David sourced a place where we could have our Saturday eve fire. When checking the fire of where it would be held,I slipped on wet muddy sidewalk and got my jeans muddy . And David took and washed them! Wow! 🙏🙏 Housekeeping staff were great too! Other staff for thanks is Adele the General Manager and Paula .Thank you for a memorable fun delicious weekend! Hopefully see You all next Year. The only negative are the two paths going down to the sea are severely eroded and that we could not facilitate our annual small healing fire in the Secret Garden.

Just returned from a Tony Hogan painting holiday hosted at Cober Hill. Beautiful location, warm, clean and comfortable rooms. Steeped in history and atmosphere with up to date facilities, Cober Hill is the perfect retreat in lovely surroundings. The staff are fantastic. Catering for a full restaurant with a shortage of staff, everyone's dietary needs were still met with delicious food, attentive service and always a smile!

Thank you so much for sharing your review. I'm so glad you had a brilliant time on the latest 'Fun Painting with Tony Hogan' course. We pride ourselves on the warm welcome we give to our guests and I'm so glad you noted that. I hope we can welcome you back to one of Tony's future course or for a holiday to give yourself a few days away from it all with friends or family. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Terrible noisy room next to a generator constant loud whirring noise. Food was disgusting, and when I complained I was made to feel it was my fault, shown up in front of the whole dining room.not enough vegan alternatives for every meal.

I'm so sorry that your experience in July 2022 did not not meet your expectations however I want to express our thanks for your acknowledgement of our beautiful surroundings. Did you get to enjoy the sunrise as it peeked over the north sea horizon, which is visible from many of our rooms? Whilst we don't have a generator on site, we would have offered a move (if there was space available), should you have visited reception. Were you able to do that? Our dining room offers a selection of meals which incorporate a range of locally sourced produce. Whilst we strive to cater for all guests and offer a vegan option for every meal, we appreciate your feedback. I hope we can welcome you back to Cober Hill in the future.

This was my second stay at Cober Hill, as a residential part of a uni post-grad course. Really well looked after, both times. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The food has been great each time. What a great location too, a nice walk down to the beach, really refreshing. We had use of a few rooms, so brought a bottle of wine and sat in there once the bar/dining room closed. For those that want a late drink, there are a couple of decent pubs just up the road. I'd really recommend Cober Hill, and hope that I get the opportunity to stay there again in the future.

Thank you so much for sharing your review; I'm so glad you had an amazing time at Cober Hill. The cliff-top scenery is stunning, isn't it? Did you enjoy our recently added locally-sourced beers and spirits from our bar? We do offer the corkage service, as you'll have experienced though, if you prefer to bring your own drinks. I hope we can welcome you back soon.
