    Paul and David are the 2 most wonderful hosts and it was our 2nd visit and the same super standards as the first time. Spotless room and en-suite and delicious breakfast. Can't wait till next time .

    Nothing

    This lovely BnB is run with passion and it is a very clean and well kept house. In the room you have the possibility to make yourself a cup of tea and the ensuite showers are small but everything you need is there. The house is near North Bay and close to a park and a summer open air event location. You can start here for any kind of activity. The owners are so nice and you can choose from different breakfast options ( not included) which are freshly prepared in the morning. The fruit salad is amazing.

    Great location for what we wanted, both our room and en-suite were immaculately spotless. We didn’t book breakfast however it did smell very appetising as we walked down stairs.

    My booking was a twin room but it wasn't it was a single room. But I think that's booking.com not the guest house. My freind was going to come later and pay the extra but as a single room was not possible.

    Nice and quiet near to the beach and town.

    Excellent location for what we needed. Paul and David were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. A good information pack left in our room about the guest house and surrounding area. The accommodation was so clean and tidy. Ensuite had everything you needed. Bed was comfortable, we had a good sleep. The room spacious with lovely decoration in pictures, cushions, etc. Lovely choice of breakfast. The blueberry pancakes were to die for! My partner had a cooked breakfast and said best he had in ages. If visiting Scarborough again I will definitely be contacting the Pheonix guest house to see if they have availability, best guest house ive stayed at in years.

    Room was a bit warm but a fan had been provided. This was because the room got the sun first thing in a morning. Bathroom was small but adequate. We had booked the small double so to be expected.

    The hosts Paul and David were fantastic and were very attentive. Breakfast was quality ingredients and cooked well. Bed was comfortable. Decent location for the cricket ground and also not too far into town or the sea front

    Absolutely loved a couple of days in Scarborough at the Phoenix. Thank you so much to the hosts , who tended to my every breakfast need , amazing mushrooms. The room was clean and the bed was super comfy. Not too far a walk to the main street / the front and to some good places to eat and drink. I had a fab time on my first solo holiday and didn't feel as anxious as I thought I would. Thanks to this place for being so relaxed and calm x very good price too. Would highly recommend this place.

    I love that this is a 5 minute walk up the road to the Scarborough open air theatre which holds many events and concerts and only a five minute taxi ride into the main town centre for shopping so win-win on location The hosts where super friendly and couldn’t do enough for you nothing was too much bother. The beds were super comfortable and even provided fan in the room during the hot period this time I stayed in a twin room number 7 I love the fact that the room was splitting into two with two separate beds and an ensuite sink in each room very practical love the little idea of the honesty box where you are you can purchase a range of snacks and drinks and leave the money in the little tin provided once again thanks for a lovely day. Will definitely be back again soon.😎

    Everything I could not fault the Phoenix Guest house It is top of the leaderboard for me. I have stayed in many guest houses over the years and this is far the best! I have stayed with my husband and also stayed on another occasions with Freinds
