Top Runswick Sands Hotel Reviews

The Ellerby Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Personable staff, lovely setting, great bathtub! We're not used to only having instant Nescafe in the room, but the coffee at the included breakfast was great."

Runswick Bay Top Gallant Cottage - outside seating - sea and beach views

10/10 Excellent

"We return here year after year and it never disappoints. Adorable little house hidden away in picture perfect Runswick Bay. Just walking through the village to Top Gallant is a delight and the view when you get there is stunning - so the outside terrace is a huge bonus. The cottage is spotless, beautifully furnished and equipped with everything you need. An idyllic place."

St Hildas Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. It was our first child free few days away for a few years. Debbie checked us in and was fantastic and gave us some great pointers of where to eat out on our first night. We chose the Ellerby Country Inn( was fantastic). The room was immaculate and the bed was so comfy. The staff were all friendly and if you passed by them, they would ask if we needed anything or had a nice day. The featured rooms were brilliant. We stayed in Venice, with a bed shaped like a boat and a huge spa bath. Everything was spot on and more! Breakfast was included, with lots to choose from. We would definitely stay here again. Keep being amazing St.Hilda's Boutique."

"Recently had a lovely four night break at The Bungalow. It was clean and comfortable with everything you need for a holiday. The beds especially comfortable. It is in an ideal spot to walk into Staithes and leave the car. We did a lovely walk along the cliff tops then back through the woods and a pint in the Fox and Hounds in Dalehouse. The pub that time forgot , just fabulous. Finished the day with fish and chips from local shop. Would certainly recommend."
